@cybrotius The "fish line" is a shadow created by the exhaust plume. STS-112 launch occurred at 4:45 est which would mean the sun was in the western sky causing the shadow to be projected eastward onto the Atlantic ocean. This is not fake, there were several launches during this period that used an embedded camera on the external fuel tank to provide imagery, mainly for the public's entertainment, of what a launch looks like from the vehicles perspective.

@Puzzoozoo Fair enough, perhaps it should be multinational. But NASA does plenty of work on aeronautics. You'll find that NASA's work (and its predecessor, the National Advisory Committee on Aeronautics) was responsible in large part for the quadrupling of the efficiency of jet engines over the last sixty years. NACA developed a systematic way of defining airfoils for subsonic flight, NASA has its own series of trans/supersonic airfoils. It does plenty of aeronautics work.
