Probably, depending on how big the rocket is.  Also, you'd want to set the
cameras up so that the "horizontal" or "interocular" axis was in the
direction of the rocket's travel, so I suppose the horizon would end up
being vertical...

Is there any way you could yoke two rockets together (side-by-side, with
several feet between) & put a camera in each?
