@3210andLiftoff You can (just) hear the capcom (on that occasion Scott Horowitz) beginning to say 'roger roll atlantis' just before Nesbitts first 'Houston now controlling'
@fs10inator If you mean Don Spencer, this is not in fact him, it is Steve Nesbitt of JSC who also did the Challenger ascent commentary. This was the only other post-Challenger ascent he did apart from STS-26.
Why did Steve Nesbitt say 'Houston is now controlling' twice?

I remember staying up to watch this when I was 12 years old. Thanks for posting this.

You can hear the Atlas launch commentator as a MCC commentator for STS-86. Strange isn't it?
