In a rare and dramatic night launch, the Space Shuttle Endeavour and her crew lift-off from the Kennedy Space Center on their way to the International Space Station (ISS). The mission is STS-123. This is the narrated, edited NASA video that runs from main engine start through Solid Rocket Booster (SRB) separation just over 2 minutes into the flight. There are mentions in the radio calls of issues with the Reaction Control System (RCS).
flames + spacecraft + night sky = dramatic for many people. if you don't think so, fine.

Most people would say seeing a Space Shuttle launch into a night sky is a dramatic picture - I guess you don't think that is the case.
