Cool! This is one of the few films of the Atlas unique "stage-and-a-half" separation. Unlike all other multi-stage rockets, only the two outer boost engines are discarded when staging, keeping the main fuel tanks and the center "sustainer" engine, which continues firing. Even today, this is the closest mankind has come to a "single-stage-to-orbit" system. (Title is misleading. There is no explosion, just a lot of gasses released and exhaust deflected when the two booster engines disconnect, blocking the camera view for a while.)

Ian Osgood I have been scouring for HD footage of Atlas staging events, and this is the best I can find, which is still unfortunately not good enough to serve my purposes. And I refuse to believe that only ONE documentary on Friendship 7 exists (it is all reposts of the same video).
