Digg this video: http://digg.com/space/Expedition_18_Soyuz_Rocket_Launch_Oct_12_full_video

The Expedition 18 / TMA-13 Soyuz Rocket launched on October 12th, 2008 at 7:01am UTC destined for the International Space Station. This is the full media event as seen on NASA TV. Liftoff occurs one hour in to the video, but there is some great video rolled throughout, so we decided to post the whole thing.

Docking with the International Space Station should occur October 14th at 8:38am UTC and we will be covering it *live* at http://www.spacevidcast.com/live and making the video available on-demand on your favorite video sharing site!

  • How does it dragonamt? tbh all the Soyuz rockets have been launched from a location higher then the space shuttles and never had freezing problems. While the Challenger, launched closer to the equator(warmer) blew up because of a Frozen O-ring? lol.

  • @11AMERICANO11 His point is the inclination and delta V imparted by the rotation of the earth. Earth's rotational speed at the equator is 1040 mph. it's much less the closer you get to the north pole. where Baikonur is it's only 680 mph. Shuttle takes advantage of earth's rotation much more than Russia does at 49 degrees latitude. Harder to get to ISS orbit for both also, due to the steep ISS inclination of 51.6 degrees.

  • Tried and true Soyuz.

    Good job Motherland.

  • nobody in the world trusts the united states. nobody knows which country they are going to terrorize next. as for russia, it it pursuing its interests for the better of its people, just like the united states.

    in other words, we don't trust you either.

  • 1:00:40 Guy says 102lbs of thrust... I'm pretty sure my dog can fart that, maybe I should try to launch her into orbit?

  • 1:02:57

    lol, the movie Armageddon definitely exaggerated the take off experience for the astronauts...  looks more like people on the chain hill of a roller coaster. Excited, but just sorta like "do dee do... not much to do until we get there..."

  • cought myself saying " wooaaaw --- like a rocket" the moment it lift off =D
