It's probably been answered a million times already, but what causes the black exhaust to "suck" down through the launcher platform?

EVERY engine works on this principle: the more air and fuel you can burn in a certain time, the more power.

When are the astronauts feeling 6 -G's . It seems that in the begining the accelaration isn't that intense.

F=ma.

Thrust = m X g

or

g = T/m.

Thrust is essentially constant.

Highest g is at minimum mass. That's late in the flight when the tanks are almost empty. The goal of designing a lauch vehicle to to reduce the mass of the unsable (aka structure, etc.) relative to the loaded propellant. perfect vehicle has no mass and is all propellant.
