The Launch of an Atlas - 5 Rocket

Here is a short video about the launch of a communications satellite aboard an Atlas-5 rocket. Having been delayed several times, it finally launched at almost 2am in the morning.
I was up at that hour and was watching news reports regarding the Atlas-5, so I grabbed my Canon G9 still camera and set to the Video Mode to record the event from my front yard.
