What do we learn? If it’s wet you will finish more quickly.

The side by side is great. It's crazy how white the steam is compared to the dust 😂

Thanks to Tim and the Cosmic Perspective team for this comparison that beautifully demonstrates how the water deluge system is basically a cleaner for the rocket plume.

Those clouds of steam from the deluged fire look so much more wholesome than the volcanic smoke from the unmitigated fire.
