I got a entertaining idea for modern cell phone users that are space

Did anybody capture good views of the 'ring of fire' effect (with
apologies to Eric Flint) just prior to MECO? Since the ring collapsed
at MECO I'm presuming it was the shock wave of the engine plume and

Is there a net-accessibile table or chart that follows
the shifting split of US military and civilian space budgets
over the years, especially from the 1960s through 1990s?
I need the ratio and the changes in the ratio for a space
