It is just like real.

See the latest launch from Japan of the rocket to re-supply the International Space Station.

I always loved the fact Scott had a decorative plate in the cockpit of Thunderbird 1

[sfcbjs]

roll program complete. pitching program complete.

[armondikov]

But if you look at it coming out of the pool it's twisted again!

[penninefilms]

You don't see a loot of number 3

[cprich22]

i have to say TB2 launch looks alot more fun.. why didnt they launch TB2 before TB1 if TB1 can go faster?

[AFroese]

@cprich22 Thunderbird 1 does the recon, and then they can decide what module they are going to put in Thunderbird 2.

[cprich22]

@AFroese yeh i forgot about that bit

[dataflowc]

More likely a sideways on shot of  tb1 on the launch pad looked rubbish on camera.

There have been many imperfections and inconsistencies in the production of this great show, but you have to look close..thanks for posting!!

[HarakMolova]

@prausch65

That's what makes it so perfect though....

[dataflowc]

notice that TB1 starts at the top of the ramp frontways on 0:53, then when the scene cuts TB1 is going down the ramp sideways on 0:59

[ryhorn100]

Maybe it twisted 90 degrees on the way down, but wasn't shown on camera.

[SpideryYoda]

@dataflowc Funny you should say that, because I watched the film Thunderbirds Are Go! recently, and at the bottom of the ramp it was still facing the same way it was at the top. And it looked strange.

[Firemarioflower]

@dataflowc yeah i can see that.. i wondered it too.. its weird how that happened

[69keithmoon]

@dataflowc because the sequence looks better that way!! I'm sure they would have realised..

[dataflowc]

@69keithmoon Do you think the realised that Scott would have blacked out immediately by sitting upright during a launch?.
