 * Oppose. The file is used on STS-130, where it does not "contribute significantly" – as far as I can see, the exhaust cloud was not notable in the context of the STS-130. Hence the rather solitary gallery usage. I agree it's a "impressive high quality depiction of the exhaust cloud" and might have a place in articles about rocket propulsion or take-offs, but it doesn't at the moment.

 * I have added the image to Solid-fuel_rocket. I was checking the article while gathering information (I am planning to make a list of space shuttles) and I believe it has a good place there. — ΛΧΣ  21  19:24, 10 January 2013 (UTC)
