This shuttle barely made it into orbit with malfunctions and alarms during ascent. The irony is that it was Columbia.

I was there for this! I was at the two prior attempts as well. What an awesome experience. It was 12:30 in the morning but it looked like daytime. I was completely in awe.
I'm sad that there are only two launches left :(

This was a close call!
main engine electrical short and hydrogen leak
-
they wernt supposed to launch at this time the only reason why they launched is because there was and abort
-
I think STS-51F wins that title.
O-Rings,RSLS abort, abort ATO, almost ditched. Almost lost two engines.

Thanks, mianbentley! What about that "humming" sound? At the beginning of the video.

Eileen is a fellow orangeman. ...or orange woman.
Go Syracuse!!
That noise comes from the Sound Suppression Water System, it's the air being displaced and pushed out by the flooding water...creates a whistling noise

I was there to see that launch... I was like 9 year old and i can remember it perfectly. You stand a few miles away over this lake and the sky just lit up like it was day time. It also gave off a very dainty heat. It was one of the most beautiful things i've ever seen.

I saw the STS-88 launch, and I agree, absolutely SPECTACULAR!

I think Eileen proved herself on this mission more than any other astronaut of her time. Short of a few guys like Hoot Gibson or John Young...even Rick Hauck.
