Original Note:
SpaceX Starship is not a helium balloon. Rockets move the slowest at launch because that’s when they have the most fuel and are therefore the heaviest. The “smoke” on the side of the vehicle is condensing water vapor due to the cryogenic propellants. https://www1.grc.nasa.gov/beginners-guide-to-aeronautics/ideal-rocket-equation/ https://www.reddit.com/r/AskEngineers/s/8jiy6nDArw
