Cool slow-mo footage of an Atlas E launch failure

[mythbusters844]

I found some really awesome slow motion footage of an Atlas E missile exploding at liftoff from Vandenberg Air Force Base. It was a test of the missile with a dummy warhead, as the video's description states.

(video has no sound)

Absolutely breathtaking.

This video is now being used every day in my space center to gain morale for my Kerbals.

Interesting how it surges then falters several times.

I think you're doing it wrong.

I bet this is how the guys at NASA celebrate New Year's Eve.
