More at MarkWidick.com. Ever wonder what happens to the pad after a launch? Now you get a beach side view. Video shot on the ocean side of 39A and goes through about an condensed hour of post flight. Look for the shock wave in the plants to the right bottom of the screen after solid boosters light up. Fish also start jumping around in the water. Copyright Mark Widick

  • Excess hydrogen in the ground fuel supply...

  • A headbangers delight....Glad you enjoyed it!

  • As there are only 2- 3 more launches you may need to buy the shuttle fleet. Go on your from Texas... Think BIG.

  • Face in the smoke @1:10

  • I dont believe they made it loud enough.

  • @MrPinwheel123 Yes, it's loud. Did you died (sic) when you posted this comment? I suspect (hope?) you did, and I really need an answer.

  • was it loud?

  • Like it? I f**king love it!!!

  • Listen to that AGC working overtime

  • @vipfal

    I read this comment just in time to stop it at 1:10. It took me a while, but I see it. Just to the right of the launch tower, right?

  • @vipfal kinda creepy

  • Amazing video!! Too bad the sound recorder-limiter kicked in when the boosters lit off...but then again, that is powerful sound! What was all the white in the background on the pad itself all through the video? Water or steam? Venting LOX?
