When SpaceX test fired their Raptor engine on Sunday a few people asked me about the green coloration in the exhaust, while trying to answer this question I came across an image appearing to show a rocket engine with a bright green flame rather than the light tinge seen on the Raptor.

Oh yeah.. and I'm still sick.
