Is there a Rocket Scientist in the House?

Post by Crossroads Inc. »

Ok, I have been watching THIS over and over and at exactly 2:20 I simply can NOT for the life of me figure out what the HELL happens.

Near as I can make out, an early rocket fails on launch, splits in half, the upper part takes off, then starts shooting exhaust from BOTH ends. Not lkidding, the thing does cartwheels for a good time Shoting Exhaust from BOTH ends of the rocket.... How the HELL does that veen happen?

My guess is that it's a staged rocket, and the second stage fires by accident. Then a leak or something in the second stage blasts the top off, leaving it spewing fuel out both ends.
