They just tested a rocket motor in Mojave. Steady roar and plume of smoke or dust. Not enough smoke for a solid-fuel unit. Sound lasted about 100 seconds.

I've been up on that hill where they test them on Edwards when I was doing F-22 flight test.

This is the fourth or fifth time in the 20 months I’ve been here that they did this. I witnessed a night test about a year ago, dust plume lit orange from below. Maybe a kerosene/lox unit, which is luminous at the right color. A hydrogen motor could excite sodium in desert dust, so ~shrug~. I haven’t seen the hybrid motor burn, like they use in the tourist spaceplane.

I might be in the minority here ... I thoroughly enjoy howling jets, door-tapping sonic booms and the other audiovisual consequences of massively powerful propulsion systems being given a workout. It’s not a bug but a feature of the meep-meep life.

Which is kind of startling considering you've had a virtual walk through my logbook.
