[SML] Rocket effects

[Steven Haworth]

A little more.  At about 0:30 there is a micro-clip of one of the launches -

I think the early launches were an actual rocket (subtly loaded and later
re-loaded during blackouts or other moves on stage, and later (larger)
launches were just smoke effects.  But even sitting 20' from the stage as I
was, it was extremely effective.
