Original Note:
The claim is false. Rockets may look slow due to their size but accelerate quickly. The smoke is water vapor from fuel combustion, not helium. Helium balloons rise via buoyancy without exhaust. The image shows a rocket launch, not a balloon, based on visible thrust. https://www.nasa.gov/centers/kennedy/about/information/rocket-launch-how-to
