Ok, I assume that's your answer for the first question. Should we agree that  a rocket need some time to build up its speed ?

any answer for the second question?

No. A rocket doesn't need "some" time to build up speed, it shoots off vertically and that's it, it just carries on at that velocity until it runs out of fuel.

Your second question is what I've just explained. Once it lifts off and gains full thrust, which is in a split second, it shoots up. It cannot happen any other way or the structure of the rocket is immediately in jeopardy.

So basically, you are saying that a rocket reaches its max speed  immediately after launch, not 1/10th of second after, but at the moment the engine starts, correct ?
In that case, can you give some estimation of this velocity ?

You've still didn't say how do you know that a rocket launch is a fake.
For instance, this one : A V2 missile ( jump to 0:40)

If considered as a fake, can you provide a video of a genuine one ?

Nothing bigger than the scale models seen there ?
Previously, you said that ICBM launches were real.
Care to find an acceptable one for you ?

This is so blatantly wrong, it makes my head hurt just to read it... That's not 'indoctrination' speaking either, but proper common sense.

Scepti, if you took the time to do some simple measurements on those videos (the distance the rocket covers in each frame of the video), you would see evidence of a continuous increase in speed (the rocket would cover more in each frame than it did in the one before). Take your pick which video you use, one that looks real to you would be a good start.

Rockets cannot slow start like they show us in the videos of the supposed space launches.
Rockets do not start slowly, no matter what they are.

Scepti, when I asked you how fast a ball travels when it's dropped from your hand to the floor, I guess it wasn't such a stupid question after all and the only reason you didn't answer is because you don't know, huh.
Scepti, this idiocy needs to stop and it needs to stop right now. You are making a mockery of this fine forum with your poor trolling. You are a complete disgrace.

If you want a rocket to leave the launch pad slowly, then don't be anywhere near it, because it will simply lift , unbalance...and fall over, end of rocket.
And yet there are countless eye witness and video accounts of large rockets leaving the launch pad slowly and accelerating upwards for many miles without unbalancing, falling over or crashing.  Are all of those eye witnesses lying and all of these videos fake?

As in, not fast.

I wanted to know to see if you have any specific meaning of a slow rocket. You ask why doesn't a rocket fall when it's take off from the launch pad because of it's slow speed. Well, let's teach you a bit of physics. The rocket nozzles are mounted on a gimbal. This is what we call the Gimbaled Thrust System (GTS). This will allow them to vector the thrust to direct the rocket on a specific route.



This shows the director of the thrust through the centre of gravity for the rocket. By swiveling slightly from side to side, thereby maintaining its stability..

Vehicles that weigh 100 grams must accelerate identically to vehicles that weigh a 100 tons. Right. Must be 100% true because that's what makes sense to Scepti.

Just like in the previous subjects talked about here, you have nothing with which to support your idea. It being 100% true in your mind just isn't an argument as long as there are facts to suggest otherwise and oh my, there are.

Thank you for that. Now I have a confession to make.

I was just waiting for someone to chime in with this, because I'm trying to make my point about slow rocket launches and this is what I'm talking about.
10 seconds into lift off and it's barely 200 feet into the air.

I have 2 questions:

Question #1 :
For sceptimatic :
How did you estimate the height of the rocket at 200 feet ?

Question #2 :
For all the others on this forum :
How many of you have ever made even  the slighest bit of sense from any thing that sceptimatic posts ?

Everybody shouting and screaming and clapping and yet you see nobody shouting and screaming and clapping. Oh and a lovely clear day it is, isn't it?

Come on Marko, you're not as naive as you are making out.
You asked for witnesses to a "slow launch".  You didn't say anything about clapping, screaming, shouting or clear weather.

Sceptimatic (like many other FE'ers) uses the strongest argument available; the right of say so.  Basically, he's right because he says so and nothing that anyone says or does will ever be able to change that.

I have read his posts carefully and it's mostly incoherent gibberish. He constantly contradicts himself, sometimes in a single post. His strongest argument is that he knows he's right, and despite his monumental ignorance of mainstream science he somehow knows it's made up BS.

Despite all this he is endlessly entertaining. I still suspect he might be a troll but I'm leaning toward him just being a sincere crank. Maybe we should all get together on Skype sometime, that might shed some light on this...

Eh, question wasn't directed at me, but I feel like chiming in.  The Ares I-X, the rocket imaged in that picture, was around 327 feet tall.  It traveled it's own length between three and four times at that point in the picture, so between 981 and 1308 feet.

Even if the distance couldn't be approximated, does that entitle you to pull a number out of nowhere?

After 8 seconds, it's arse barely clears the pylon.
Also note the huge crowd that naturally would gather from all over the world to see space rocket launches. Obviously this crowd dispersed because a hamburger van turned up in the back ground and just left a few dozen sensible ones that had already had lunch, I suppose.
Or maybe they came to watch the birds and there was no other crowds and hamburger van.
What seems more likely in this scenario?
Anyone?

Note the first 8 seconds of the video and notice the terrain from that video angle. Tell me what you see.
This just gets sillier and sillier.

#ws" class="bbc_link" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">ARES I-X Launch

I'm sorry, and how does any of this give you the right to pull a number out of nowhere, when a simple reverse image search on google followed by basic approximation and math could have given you at least something close to where it was?

You recognize that this was a test, and that only the press and members of NASA were allowed anywhere near this thing?  The issue of safety is a big one, and it's not worth having to supervise hundreds, if not thousands of people at the location for a test where nothing significant actually happens other than confirmation that the new design works as expected.

Okay, let me rewatch the video.  I see some grass, a launch pad, some towers, and a rocket...  Now some grass, some people, a countdown timer, a flagpole, a lake, some trees on the other side of the lake, a raised clearing to the left of the image, and the rocket and towers peering up above the trees...  And now another - possibly the same - lake, a hill leading out of the lake covered in trees, the launch pad, rocket, and towers again, and a clearing behind and to the right of the pad which has a cylindrical building with a domed top in it.  Nothing of much interest, I don't think, but if you like trees so much I can't disagree. 

If you're talking about the rather obvious difference in the audio and countdown timer, it's probably bad syncing on the part of the video maker.  The timer could be wrong, too, I guess. Don't really think the launch depends on that one being right.

If you're talking about the rather obvious difference in the audio and countdown timer, it's probably bad syncing on the part of the video maker.  The timer could be wrong, too, I guess. Don't really think the launch depends on that one being right.
Oh, ok. Any idea how this video guy/gal saw over the trees in that 7 seconds. I mean, did he/she climb "quickly" up a tower or something to zoom in or am I missing something here?

So the idea of three different cameras giving three different angles stumps you.  How is that a problem with the footage?

So I was right then, someone did climb a tower and then all 3 amateurs knitted the videos together. Or were they official cameramen.
Hmmm.

Evidently sarcasm eludes you as well, so I'll say it real plain.  Nobody needed to climb a tower, because there were three cameras that gave footage to the video up to the point of around eleven seconds.  This footage was spliced together to give the video you see.

So...  What's your point, here?  Seems like the first two camera angles were from fixed cameras.  For the third, who said the camera guy doing this was amazing at his job?  Or the guy editing the video together, for that matter, since they may well not be the same guy?  And how is any of this relevant to you pulling a number from nowhere and the validity of it's launch speed?
