The cornerstone of my arguments has always been that...
it may well *not* be so that "flame later comes from the
rocket," prior to the explosion. Nevertheless, one must
certainly explain the black smoke at lift-off, relative to those
flames (from wherever they came) at about t+59 seconds.

It is not necessary to explain the black smoke relative to
those flames since anyone with a good magnifier can see
that the flames were inserted into the picture later...by means
of computer generation.

Not here http://history.nasa.gov/rogersrep/v3n35b.htm ,
or here http://history.nasa.gov/rogersrep/v3n42.htm
(no perfect transition ellipses higher up on the stack);
but here http://history.nasa.gov/rogersrep/v3n41.htm ,
and here http://history.nasa.gov/rogersrep/v3n43.htm .

It's the flames before and after the transition ellipses
(which were inserted between about t+59 and t+63
seconds) which need to be related to the black smoke
at lift-off. Even you should be able to accept that.

In that case, I'll un-plonk him. This post (and another one earlier) led me
to believe that he was just JTM posting under another name... I guess I
wasn't reading close enough.

We all make mistakes here Terrence. Please don't make the mistake of
prejudging any poster here. Give us all a chance over time.
