About 25 years ago, I did a study of the air impacts of the rockets at Canaveral, IIRC, the steam that you see coming off of the launch pad is because they flood it with water to prevent reflected heat from melting the rocket. The pH of the steam is about 1, like battery acid. A big part of the launch sequence, besides upper atmosphere considerations, is where the wind is blowing at the ground level.
Shaun, blue pills are something I definitely don't need. But thanks for your concern.
