Thank goodness for (relatively) low humidity huh? Even from Orlando, this is pretty quality. I always like the "launch from a distance" videos for some reason. Maybe because it's a perspective I never get to see in person.
Thanks for the video! Surprised you can actually see the SRB's from Orlando! Cool. I did see one of the early shuttles launch in late '81 or early '82 from Orlando. I was at the Naval Training Center. Gotta get down to the Cape for one of the last two launches. Never have seen any, although a space buff since Apollo 14.
@CEVOrion I love the plumes - each one is like a fingerprint or signature of the launch, and the winds shift them around for that "final touch". I skipped over STS 131 - I have beautiful stills from the "sunrise launch" - the plume looks like a bald eagle ! (I'll get to work on the editing). Compliments from people like you is "what it's all about !!

Don't you just love how that plume keeps expanding even after the shuttle is long gone :)
