You’ve probably seen plenty of impressive rocket launches but you’ve never seen one quite like this, which shows what a rocket launch looks like from space.
The launch of the Russian Progress MS-10 cargo spacecraft (a Russian Soyuz rocket) took place on November 16. The timelapse was captured by ESA astronaut Alexander Gerst, who is onboard the International Space Station (ISS), from nearly 250 miles up.
The entire video is astounding but the most extraordinary moments are just seconds into the launch and then the burning of the rocket’s core stage upon re-entry around 35 seconds.
While this may all seem so impressive it’s like something out of a movie, it’s all very, very real and very, very spectacular.
