Twin Linear Aerospike XRS-2200 Engine

To be delisted (mistakenly received FP star after consensus was to replace, but replacement image was deleted at commons)

Replacement Two major smudges are gone, it's sRGB converted and reasonably despeckled. I haven't completely removed all specks because it's unclear to me whether there would be sparks in the air in this environment; you'll also notice that the top left corner is still affected by soft blur due to what I believe to be hot air or steam entering from the LHS.

Reason

This is a somewhat procedural nomination. Bear with me. We had a previous delist discussion in 2007 where it was decided to replace the FP with a downsampled, edited version. However, in accordance with Commons policies (downsampled versions get the quick axe), this version was subsequently deleted at Commons. The deleting admin (User:Majorly) who is active on Wikipedia thought nothing of the fact that we'd promoted the image to FP status (you *may* groan or grumble at this point if you feel so inclined). I'll skip some of the other stuff that happened in the ensuing confusion, and skip to the fact that I'm here nominating a new restored version of the original image. Details in caption.
