I hope they watch some of these, because movies are full of disappointing rocket scenes that are so many orders of magnitude away from the real thing that it's like representing a skyscraper with a treehouse. There is considerable room for reality to inspire fiction a bit more on this front.
I remain shocked at how lame the nuke in Oppenheimer looked.
Oof yeah. Compared to the eldritch horror of the real slow motion footage, the glitter was painfully lame.
