That's gotta be a little spendy, but I'd love to see something like that at a rocket launch. A *billion* frames per second? Talk about slo-mo!
 
In the first video, we see the frame start to shift back towards the right. I wonder if that's standard carriage return, or if it's the rebound from whipping left so fast.

The second projectile in the 2nd video looks just like a PAC-2! And that last clip where the clug carrier knocks the projectile slightly off course? friggin insightful
 
More high speed video of artillery projectiles, now with new and improved GPS and inertial guidance!
