In case you've wondering, that's what a fully lit Falcon 9 rocket looks like at ignition, which occurred, by the way, for the first time this weekend at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida, where SpaceX is preparing for the rocket's debut flight next month.
A previously planned test of the Falcon's nine kerosene- and liquid oxygen-engines last week ended two seconds before ignition due to an improperly configured valve -- a valuable lesson learned, SpaceX chief Elon Musk wrote in an email. The valve wasn't on the rocket engine's test stand in Texas.
