STS128 Space Shuttle Discovery Night Launch August 29, 2009 23:59 from the NASA Causeway viewing area. Taken with Canon VIXIA HF S100 camcorder using 10x optical zoom, underexposing 2 stops, and audio volume set lower manually. You can hear the sound arrived about 50 seconds after takeoff so the viewing area might be almost 10 miles form the launch pad. The original is 1920 60i HD format, but of course here it is less and the camera gets overwhelmed by the bright light from the exhaust which almost looks like the sun. I used to make rockets when I was in 5th grade but this one is a lot bigger.

  • Oh u dirty dog! : ) Me and my daughter camped out in a perfect spot on the indian river for three days waiting for that launch. Finally had to leave empty handed after all the delays, we ran out of time. I planned on recording it with my HF S100 also. Looks like you had a much closer spot than us. Thanks for the vid. I'm glad I finally got to see it.
