  • the voice of the girl speaking sound hot :P

  • its just me or its wierd that no cameras are placed in the discovery to se the exterior of the ship just one camera -_-

  • AMAZING! GREAT VIDEO!

  • @GuitarDude314: Thanks, man! I thought that's what it was, but wasn't sure of the proper terminology.

  • that's what I meant, the sparks. Ignition takes place in the combustion chamber of the SSME

  • I saw this launch in person..video (while great) does not do justice to actually seeing the event.

    Truely an awesome sight.

  • No, the sparks, not the flame

  • Actually, the flames are used to clear out excess hydrogen stemming from the engines.

  • That's igniting the engines buddy.

  • What is the main purpose of those sparks underneath the 3 main engines? Cooling or something?? Interesting stuff! Thanks for posting!
