When I boarded the rocket on my first Space Age playthrough, several Display Panels in the factory continued to show their text as the screen faded out in the rocket launch cinematic. Most of the panels were due north of the Rocket Silo. I wasn't expecting the text of the panels to continue showing as Nauvis faded out--you'd expect all of the stuff on the planet to fade out.

Reproducing:

1. Build a Rocket Silo with a rocket ready to launch to an existing space platform.
2. Place Display Panels in the path of travel of a launching rocket so that they can be seen while in flight
3. Set the Display Panels to have any text, and click the "Always show" tickbox
4. Turn on the ALT view
5. Board the rocket and click "Travel to space platform"

As the rocket launches with the camera centered on it, you will see the text overlaying the cinematics:

Sounds similar to [2.0.21] inserter compare modes are visible from space, where inserter's alt-mode visualization is visible during launch.
