NASA's STS-135: The Last Space Shuttle Flight in History! Go Atlantis! 8 July 2011

You can hear a few time calls leading up to the launch including "Holding at 31"... that was a heart stopper moment. We had no clue what as happening! If you want to skip the chatter go to 2:41 in the video for the final 30 seconds of countdown.

3:10 There it goes! Blast off!

3:53 Shuttle passes cloud deck.

BEST 43 SECONDS EVER!

You can see the shadow growing on the cloud deck after the Shuttle penetrates the clouds.

After the launch the rest is just watch the plume develop - watch that at 4x speed!

We filmed HD from this location for OCTV.
