The good thing about rockets that use SRBs is that you can clearly see their flight path

The Ariane 5 fairing has been installed over MTG-I1 for the VA259 mission.

This fairing features a 1.5 metre extension ring at the bottom, making it the tallest version of the launcher. This is the second time the extension ring has flown.

This view from the Artemis 1 launch gives some strong Saturn V vibes. On another note, the view of the SRB separation is incredible!
