@googleboughtmee Have you ever watched a sports show where they do a closeup shot but the camera is really far away? The least little wobble in the camera will make the whole picture shake because it's magnified so far. Now imagine doing the same thing, for a shuttle that was already 12 MILES away at the end of this video clip. Within two minutes, it is moving LITERALLY "faster than a speeding bullet - more powerful than a locomotive. It's a bird - it's a plane - it's"... the Space Shuttle!
WOW! I am 36 yrs old and have seen only a handful of these. And of those, the majority ended in disaster. What a history making Endeavor...pun not intended.LOL. (sniff sniff)
@TheSkepticalApe ..OK, lol... most ended in disaster? Out of 134 shuttle missions, there were 2 "disasters". That is a 98.507% success rate. 1.493% is definitely not most.... also if no pun was intended why did you capitalize Endeavour?
And as most now know... she IS a success.. all home safe.. watched it... Welcome home Endeavor!

I saw the very first launch in 1980 (81?). And now I've seen the very last. Makes me cry.
