    No conspiracy BS. This was aired on BBC as a special program.

    So they just made that whole thing for nothing? Just to test? I'm not alluding to conspiracy at all but you must admit it's quite intriguing. Who would've thought we could make it rain like that.

    I think they'll use it at dance parties. Sick fog machine.

    It's basically to test rockets.

    If you want to find stuff about the government experimenting with the atmosphere you need to go back quite a ways.

    Look up HAARP to see what I'm talking about.

    The US Air Force has a meteorological department at which they research how to create artificial weather conditions and patterns i.e hurricanes. I'll try to find the link.

    It's not what they are doing with this that unsettles me but rather what it has the potential to do.

    It's a rocket engine test.

    They dump shitloads of water on the pad throughout the test to cool it, so they can run the rocket for more than a few seconds.

    Water turns to steam when it hits a rocket exhaust, and a fairly large cloud forms. Maybe you'll even get some precipitation from that cloud downrange a mile or so if the humidity's already fairly high. Just a by-product of the test.

    If they really wanted to actually control the weather/make a synoptic scale weather event via this method, they'd need thousands of these firing continually for a long, long period of time. And they'd need a LOT of water. Your average crappy, shiticane low pressure system that dumps a few inches of rain on the Midwest every week or so in the summer contains a truly staggering amount of water - - and a lot of it doesn't even fall as rain.

    Bottom line: no way can this be used for anything malicious.

    They're using it to pull off a false flag operation against the sky to go to war against Heaven for it's oil.

    Haha, I love the logic of the person who made the first video: "NASA rocket test produces small raincloud. It rained a lot in May. Therefore, NASA is responsible for record precipitation in the southeastern United States, undoubtedly a part of some nefarious scheme."

    So it was built for the sole purpose of testing rocket engine? The "making it rain" part is sort of a byproduct? I'm still baffled by the latter... never thought I'd see this happen. It's intriguing to say the least.

    That's exactly what they're doing. The artificial raincloud is just a byproduct of the truly massive amounts of water dumped into the pad area to keep temperatures at a sane level. Watch a video of a Shuttle launch - - the big white cloud on the pad as the rocket lifts off is NOT smoke - - it's steam. There's a bunch of huge pipes under the pad that flood the exhaust area with water for cooling and sound wave dampening.

    It could help immensely with mitigating global warming AND ozone layer depletion. Bear in mind I did not watch the video.

    Sounds like a James Bond film.

    Maybe, but I'm guessing doing it on that scale would be extremely hard if not impossible.
