@Longfire3000 Same with me! I got my hands on a blu ray version of this movie...gives me the chills every time I watch it!

It's called the ''twang'' or ''nod''. The main engines on the shuttle aren't pointing straight down ,so when they start it pitches the top of the launch vehicle over about 2 metres at cockpit level. The SRB's still connected to the launch pad during the 'twang'', flex back to the vertical at which point they ignite and the shuttle is launched. All of this takes about six seconds between main engine start and launch.

hopefully i b in that cockpit one day

Wow - I swear it swayed back and forth before the SRBs started!

The first part where Discovery clears the tower was STS-51C but the second part where they are watching Discovery from an airplane several miles away was STS-41D.
Check out the two flights on YouTube and you will see how the Sun was positioned for each flight.
BTW, this was an excellent video.
