  • check out my other video of sts-119 launch. i was at the LCC/VAB for that one. nice sound

  • nice, thanks!

  • Awesome, one of the best videos I've seen of this launch. Sounds like you were 7- 7.5 miles south. I love this trajectory, that is the only time they'll go southeast for the next couple years, usually they go the other way for the space station flights.  This is the way all the flights in the 1980's launched.

  • you sound very knowledgeable on this subject. i was about 4.5 mi away

  • I just checked on Google Earth, since you are at the same site I saw a launch from years ago and the closest site the general public can get to. From the center of pad 39A south to the causeway you are on, it is 6.8-7.0 miles, for pad 39A. Were it form pad 39B it would be 8.0 miles. IF you were only 4.5 miles away you'd be much closer than the runway, and you would have heard the sound 12-15 seconds sooner.
