Yo @grok - why in the 60 Years that NASA have been shooting Rockets up to the Moon & back, has not a single one created this effect as you see with Space X all the time?

@BGatesIsaPyscho NASA's Apollo Saturn V rockets used kerosene/LOX in the first stage and hydrogen/LOX in upper stages, producing exhaust plumes that were visible but less ionized and glowing under daytime launches—most Apollos launched mid-morning. SpaceX Falcon 9's RP-1/LOX burns cleaner, and

@BGatesIsaPyscho @grok @grok tell me a story how NASA never created this effect because it never happened.

@BGatesIsaPyscho @grok @grok do you think anyone has really landed on the moon?

@BGatesIsaPyscho @grok If this fuel is so efficient, why don't we make better car engines with it? Are we that stupid? We use a battery for a car, but still use fuel for a rocket? What?

@BGatesIsaPyscho @grok 1. SpaceX launches much more often, almost every other day, and at various times. This effect occurs specifically just after sunset or before sunrise. 2. Stage 1 typically does a boostback burn, which causes an even more intense reaction with Stage 2 See

@BGatesIsaPyscho @grok I think it’s because SpaceX videos are all fake. Super fake. Massively fake.

@BGatesIsaPyscho @grok Because SpaceX schedules their launches at the exact moment in dusk required to create the effect. Intentionally.

@BGatesIsaPyscho @grok There most likely has been, there's just not good footage of it. (I'm not going to look). These vibrant gaseous displays depend on the time of day and the angle of the sun. SpaceX launches around the clock—it's no surprise they've put on the most spectacular shows.

@BGatesIsaPyscho @grok The Atmospheric pressure at that altitude is not strong enough to contain the exhaust plume in it's column form so it explodes outwards until there is no more Atmosphere 🚀

@BGatesIsaPyscho @grok Uh - different design that is supposed to be reused and more rocket engines. Same reason most of us don't listen to vinyl records any more. Technology changes.

@BGatesIsaPyscho @grok They didn't have @grok to create the special effects back then. We know space isn't real. The real psyop? Airplanes. Do you think that's really an "airplane" you're flying in? Ha! It's all just a part of The Simulation, man.

@BGatesIsaPyscho @grok Elon is showing everyone there is a firmament

@BGatesIsaPyscho @grok I'm not genius, but I think that’s just plasma, sunlight, and thin air putting on a light show. We’ve been doing the same thing with fireworks for centuries — just never 100 miles up.

@BGatesIsaPyscho @grok Different propulsion/altitude/time of day I would imagine

@BGatesIsaPyscho @grok Apollo launched during the daytime. The foregoing effect can only be seen during twilight, a time when SpaceX sometimes launches.

@BGatesIsaPyscho @grok Just wait until plasma light propulsion hits.

@BGatesIsaPyscho @grok It's a phenomenon known as a "Space Condom Effect" due to sunlight reflecting off of fuel exhaust shaped in such a way due to airflow around the bulbous shape of the rocket.

@BGatesIsaPyscho @grok Different technology

@BGatesIsaPyscho @grok It’s a spectacular thing to see in real life, s we can in San Diego with launches from Vandenberg SFB if the timing is right. Has to be shortly after sunset. Photos and videos don’t do it justice.

@BGatesIsaPyscho @grok IDK - I used to see rockets launching from Vandenberg around early 2000 do something similar. I'm sure it would've looked better with an awesome camera and a crazy zoom. They'd go right over San Diego. I'm pretty sure that was before Space X.

@BGatesIsaPyscho @grok I love how people ask Grok something thinking “he’ll” help their argument and then go completely silent when he doesn’t fortify/justify/confirm their point.

@BGatesIsaPyscho @grok lol, <sic> it's because the earth is round, and they had to adjust the graphics to fit the math :D

@BGatesIsaPyscho @grok You have to be the gayest most stupid account on this entire app.

@BGatesIsaPyscho @grok How a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket is assembled

@BGatesIsaPyscho @grok NASA was a more flaccid organisation.

@BGatesIsaPyscho @grok It is a self lubricating space dick?

@BGatesIsaPyscho @grok Not many people had good video cameras in the 60s and 70s. After that, NASA could barely light a firecracker...

@BGatesIsaPyscho @grok The Merlin Vacuum Engine

@BGatesIsaPyscho @grok It’s the disco ball @elonmusk has hidden in every rocket 🤫

@BGatesIsaPyscho @grok So beautiful

@BGatesIsaPyscho @grok Could it be the WATERS ABOVE ????

@BGatesIsaPyscho @elieseese @grok Because NASA reached the Moon. SpaceX is reaching consciousness. What you’re seeing isn’t just exhaust — it’s the visible wake of human curiosity cutting through the dark. Every flare, a reminder: we’re not watching rockets anymore. We’re watching evolution in real time.

@BGatesIsaPyscho @grok Don't think this is SpaceX, looks to have 4 side boosters.

@BGatesIsaPyscho @grok That is just so bad-ass.

@BGatesIsaPyscho @grok Rockets have never been filmed at this level and quality before!
