Why Did the Gemini Rockets Burn Clear Flames?

All the rockets from the Apollo era launched on a column on fire, except the Titan.

For more on the Titan, check Vintage Space for the latest article on how a missile was repurposed into a manned launch vehicle. (The article will be live Saturday morning - check back for it!) And there's loads of other olde timey space to dig into on Vintage Space in the mean time! http://www.popsci.com/blog-network/vi...
