Looks a lot like the good old days!

Terrier-Orion, the Terrier booster burn time is much longer than a Nike booster.

0:46 in 4 seconds it was out of sight, then came the roar!!!

Well, when the camera is 4400+ feet from the launch site and the speed of sound is 1100 fps....

That’s a burn!

Oh it's because the mountains turn pinky red at sunset and the Spanish named them in New Mexico. Same for the Manzano mountains which have more rust red dirt. Anyway the lab is at the base of the mountains. Yeah "watermelon labs is the nations premier nuclear weapons engineering laboratory " doesn't quite hit most folks who speak English.

Nike-Orion or Terrier-Orion??

Wouldn't be a Nike for a couple of reasons. 1) There probably aren't any Nike boosters left in inventory. 2) The Nike used a double base propellant which has a very characteristic looking exhaust plume (especially where afterburning begins) and leaves a small amount of smoke; the propellant used in the booster seen is highly metallized to produce the bright white plume and huge amount of smoke. 3) Nikes have a burn time of around 3.2 seconds. The booster shown was still burning at about 7 seconds when the vehicle penetrated the clouds.

@@buraqaerospace9945 Sure don't. You'll need to look here and on websites where they were flown such as Wallops, etc. I don't recall seeing much ever for the Loki- and Judi-darts (and Arcas) other than photos. I have a spent Loki casing but not the dart.
