  • Hugh Harris was such a great voice for Shuttle Launch Control....I always thought he had that HAL9000 thing going and I used to love listening to his launch counts. Actually I preferred the AM type quality of the commentary as opposed to the stereo stuff of the last 10 years or so.....but I am old school :)

  • All your videos are awesome! Do note (since I think this was the first integrated vehicle on pad with engine ignition) that the hydrogen burn igniters ignited 1 second prior to ignition. A launch today ignites them 4 seconds prior.

  • Plus the AM sound reminds us of the original 60s/70s missions I think.
