I'm thinking that is the rocket he was launching.
I'd guess so too. I watched the video a few hours ago. Pretty amazing.
Although I wonder how the crew/passengers would hold up while the capsule was
doing that looping a few seconds into the escape firing. I imagine the
G-forces were pretty high for a few seconds. But I'm no rocket scientist so I
could be wrong. Overall a pretty specatcular thing.
