Yet another sight that has been forever lost to future generations.

I weep for my country.

lol at 1:28 everyone take a photo from each other,

I like this video

This is beyond sound. If you've ever seen this in person you'll be able to say how you just felt pure ENERGY; audible soundwaves were just meaningless here.

[seanpirwin]

the nice crackling sounds are sonic booms from the SRB exhaust

[tweakiepop]

So loud even from that distance!

[pepefenito]

Looks like a penis at :34

[steve20971]

Is that crackling sound distortion of some sort or is that how it actually sounds? Would have loved to have seen it in person :)

[ghsband2008]

@steve20971 That is actually how it sounds. Like a reall low deep pop very quickly over and over again. There were instances were i could hear it from titusville and even Daytona Beach once when the conditions were right.

[xBloodXGusherx]

Wow that sound...I wish I was there.

[DHLaShomb]

AWESOME!!!

[proaudiohd]

Very good! Almost there. There are two sections where your mic clips out.. but probably the closest I've seen to a clean recording!

[cafeboni]

watching this my 15inch woofer literally made my house shake.

i missed a launch once, so now i dont feel as bad anymore. thank you so much for recording this!

[AntiGrav82]

@hh1n That sounds more accurate:)

@Rllacey

I would agree 100%. This is the best recorded sound of a space shuttle launch I've found on the Internet. Thank you very much for posting.

This makes NASCAR look like a lawnmower race.

Once apon a time, when Dinos roamed the earth, there was a plane called the DC-8-20 series with str8-pipe Turbojets, and this audio is not that off.  Anyone remember the Crackle & Roar from those engine with the black smoke trailing behind, ahh memories. :D

[AntiGrav82]

this makes nascar look like a go-cart derby

[DJLEEVI]

i keep watching this one cause it's best recorded sound on the net, thanx for sharing

[rllacey]

@DJLEEVI Appreciate that. I tried to capture the most authentic sound that we heard. I think it's the next best thing to actually being there.

@DJLEEVI I always thought the weird sounds I was hearing was distortion in the microphone. But I had a chance to see the last shuttle launch in person a few months ago. And it really sounds like that in person!!! This is an EXCELLENT recording.
