OK, so the rocket sled is travelling at around 3km per second. Assuming that video was shot at 100 frames per second the sled would have covered about 30 meters per frame. So there's no chance you'll see anything except a blur even if you examined every frame individually.

Perhaps we could run those along HS2 route and bring the London-Birmingham journey down to a couple of minutes.
