    Rumour is that it’s their first one using solid fuel rather than liquid. I don’t know enough about what a rocket exhaust usually looks like for each to say one way or another though.

      Fourth pic does look like a solid rocket’s exhaust to me. The huge spreading cone of flame and the thick smoke behind it are very solid rocket-y looking.
