I attended this launch back in 1995 while visiting Florida with my family on vacation. We were 10 miles away from the launch site, and it was a immaculate scene to watch. Something I will cherish the rest of my life.
I believe he says "Houston, Hallejuah Atlantis in the roll" I may not have spelled that word right-never been able to spell that one but i think you know what i mean. But that what its always sounded like to me.
@BigBill783 I think it is 'poyekhali'. This was the first thing Gagarin said when Vostok 1 lifted off. It means 'here we go!' Guess Gibson said it a some sort of a tribute.
