All SR-71 crew had to do upon a missile launch, was to increase the throttle and watch the missile get further and further away from striking distance.


Brian Shul talks about this in "Sled Driver". Basically, you'd see the missile climbing behind you and then at some point it would explode, but the explosion almost looked like it was happening in reverse and was an implosion because you were flying away so fast and it was receding in the distance.
