My favorite part of every launch is at 7:28.

@drewmagoo1 - I've never noticed a milestone at 7.28 before!

It's very chilling when they say "close and lock visors."

@DanM25456 how do you mean chilling?

@breaker1237547 Chilling as in, "this is real, it's really gonna happen". So kinda an awesome chilling.

What... the fuck? NASA is our program. Why the hell can't I watch a video depicting American Spaceflight in America? Youtube, you make no sense.

It's the only soundbite that will make the world's 10-minute news round-ups. I suspect they're carefully planned, with input from various people, and then approved by senior management.

Great video. You captured the "feel" of the day. I live so close, that at T-9 min hold I headed out to see the launch. I really wasn't sure it would "go". There were so many clouds in the sky that day. I only live a mile away from the best free vantage point but, I still drove. I really thought it was going to rain. If you ever have a chance to see it in person, I HIGHLY recommend it!!!!

If you mean the thing that's swung to one side at T-2 mins, yeah, it's the oxygen vent hood.
NASA say, "Heated gaseous nitrogen is pumped into the hood to warm the liquid oxygen vent system at the top of the external tank. This prevents oxygen vapors that are exiting the vent louvers from condensing water vapor in the surrounding air into potentially damaging ice." Hmmm, I didn't know that.

I'm not an expert but I think that arm has something to do with the fueling of the main tank. You see it venting gas constantly so that's my guess :)

great video.
i have a question tho... at the tip of the shuttle, why is there such a huge and complex looking device (to keep it from moving)... i'd think there isn't much to the tip of it... anyway... i want to learn more!

The Cap you see on top of the External Tank is the Fueling cap. It fills the tank with Liquid Hydrogen and Liquid Oxygen. Them temp of these fulls is super cold, L/H is -400 deg F and LOX is around -280 deg F.
The the cap has to stay on to top off the tank till a few minutes for launch. The Fuel evaporates quickly.
