Missile or Rocket? And blinking smiley

I'm not sure what I'm seeing but it does look a bit like missile or rocket. At the sides of the lower end are two "white marks" and, what looks like a nozzle. It also seems like it has a tail.

Oh and I don't know if anyone saw this before but there seems to be a blinking smiley in space. (I guess the mouth is a hair or a scratch)

Hi, and  To Google Earth Community.
The blinking smiley, is lint that got on the original image before it was digitalized
in a non-cleanroom environment.

Hi and thanks!

A shame that it wasn't something in space to make it a "real smiley".
But I didn't know that they used original images for the map. I always thought they get them digital from the telescope or "department", so thanks for the information!
