   What an awesome site…How could you not love them night launches..I never seen one from a converted oil platform or sub before interesting. I bet that platform rumbled with some serious resonance. Thanks for sharing Steve.

   Think we could borrow the platform for Mavericks? I might need to extend the night waiver a bit!

   Di-Nitrogen Tetroxide and Hydrazine? Looks too yellow for metalized composite, and plume is too small for H2-O2? Good thing they have the ocean to washout all the nitric acid in the plume!

   Thanks for sharing.

   P.S. Oops! Just checked. Rp-1 LOx. Just like North Korea and SpaceX

    Nice pictures. Nothing can compare to being there on launch though. You can feel the tension building in the Launch Control Center as the clock is closing to launch…
