STS-129 Space Shuttle Launch from Space View Park

One of the best days of my life.
Video taken with iPhone. I was too excited to post this so I did not do any kind of editing.

I filmed a little bit before this to capture some of the pre-flight radio chatter. WIll be posting that soon.
Enjoy.

Hope it'll be like this on the April 5th launch if I was going to view from Space View Park.

@MrGresham112288 If you decide on going to Space View Park be sure to get there early so you can get a good spot! Lawn chairs + packed lunch/dinner is recommended. Enjoy!

Thanks. But the launch is at 6:27am ET. I'll make sure I get there early.

@MrGresham112288 Did you make it down? I saw the videos and it looked amazing!

While not the closest vantage point, still close enough to hear a little bit of the sound and get a great view of the shuttle flight path from a distance.

What's the closest vantage point you recommend?

Thanks.
