Shuttle Atlantis Launch STS-125 from NASA Causeway - LOUD!

The launch of Atlantis on mission STS-125 5/11/09, from the NASA Causeway roughly 6 miles from pad 39A. This will be the last Hubble servicing mission, & arguably the most dangerous mission of the decade; hence the reason Endeavor is standing by on pad 39B if a rescue is needed. See the dolphin swimming just before liftoff? GREAT SOUND, so turn up the bass or wear a good pair of headphones, enjoy!

I missed endeavour's launch attempt last week due to the scrub and had to travel back, but was able to envision what it would have been like with this vid - thanks for sharing!

@Pianoistehbest It was a Dolphin

[EndeavourLaunch]

Note at 0:46 the (Dolphin or a fish) goes underwater as soon as the SRBs ignite 'oh shit not another one'

I'd really love to see one of the last launches, could you please tell me exactly where you booked your tickets from and how far in advance that was too?

Thank you
