Did they simply launch the Trident upwards and let it fall down a few miles down (as opposed to across the globe)? Why does one see "lightning bolts", do they glow from reentry or do they have a motor running?
I am not sure if the re-entry vehicles were actually part of the same Trident missile or if they were staged just for show. I hadn't thought too hard about that till now. They appeared like rockets but moving alarmingly fast, like a meteor shower but with massive water columns on impact. It was dusk, so the sun was behind us and there was cloud cover, so the 10 RVs rained down crazy fast through the clouds. It seemed they had motors, but it could have been a glow. I am now thinking they were flare like for show---like the "bombs" on the beach. Although I don't know how they got the ballistics to look right. I am confused now.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
