  • WARNING: This video only works at *FULL VOLUME* with subwoofers!

    That was absolutely incredible! It gave me goosebumps. This would have had a similar effect on me if it were a CGI special effect in a bad ass science fiction movie, but the fact that this all actually really happened makes the impact more deep. This is real! THIS IS ALL REAL!

    The only thing that ruins it is the fact that it only has 3k views so far.

    Nomination for the most criminally under-viewed video in the history of videos.

  • Nobody cares about space anymore, and that's a really really shameful thing. We spend billions of dollars on this and no one even cares about the amazing things that NASA is doing. our future is in space.

    I think we're destroying ourselves with our ignorance right now. Get with it, humanity!

  • Absolutely awe inspiring. I watched this liftoff from the visitors center. What a treat.

  • That was incredible!! Well done to all involved and thanks for sharing it!!

  • And that, gentlemen, is how we do that.

  • I can't believe this video only has 21k views. It is a shame when moronic videos from "talented" pop starts get millions of views, and actual inspiring things such as this are overlooked. Back when I was a child, which was in the 80's and especially in the 60's and 70's, everyone kid wanted to be an astronaut when they grew up. Now what do kids want to be? The next reality tv star. It is simply asinine how pathetic mankind has become.

  • This is one of the most amazing things I have ever seen.

    I watched this entire video with a sense of wonder I haven't experienced in a long time, and I am not ashamed to admit some tears fell as I watched the shuttle lifting off.

  • Yup, this is the awesomest thing ever created by the human race. To retire it without replacement is beyond irresponsible... they are not even near the end of their rated service life! Why can't anyone pay for anymore launches????

  • I love those OMS burns; I want Aerojet OMS engines with six metric tons of thrust for my car. I wonder if monomethyl hydrazine and nitrogen tetroxide would require a HAZMAT cert... lol!!!!

  • We should start a NASA or space travel special interest group; yes, it is only recently that videos like this have been compiled in such a cinematic fashion, but now seems to be when we need it more than ever.

    Perhaps it is just in time. Let us see, or let us do!

  • Yes, these SE&I JSC ascent highlight videos are out of this world- literally. I wish they would have done them for all STS and Saturn V missions.
