I Smell a Rat!

I saw that part rotating in the launch video and wondered what it was.

It didn't have mouse ears on it in the real video, though.

Oh, but who wants to watch the *real* video when the doctored ones are so much more entertaining however. Who would have thought it, a mouse climbing around in the vaccuum of space after a rocket launch where that area of the vehicle was probably at thousands of degrees only a few minutes before, and somehow still holding on at 7000+ KPH to boot.

Here's the real video before. If you start watching at around 10:40 you'll see quite a bit of stuff moving in that area - looks like it's probably ice coming off fuel tanks or something. Who knows....sadly I'm not a rocket surgeon.

What are the droplets/particles falling off rockets at launch?

In this picture from the AsiaSat 6 launch by Falcon 9 on 8th September 2014, the part of the rocket between the fairing and the engine appears to be surrounded by dust, water droplets or debris: And

I don't know why they use liquid oxygen or hydrogen. I mean if I did, I would be in a rocket going somewhere.
 
Not sure...earth looks pretty flat in this video...must be a camera trick to make it curved. No other explanation. /s (just in case)
 
And we went to the moon...

If you believe that, you believe the moon is made of cheese.
