Space Shuttle - 1981 to 2010

[Quadophile]

This is the most fabulous footage of the Shuttle launch you will see on video, if you want to see something better you will need to go on site in person!

"Photographic documentation of a Space Shuttle launch plays a critical role in the engineering analysis and evaluation process that takes place during each and every mission. Motion and Still images enable Shuttle engineers to visually identify off-nominal events and conditions requiring corrective action to ensure mission safety and success. This imagery also provides highly inspirational and educational insight to those outside the NASA family."

Thanks Quad, I thought that video was fascinating! I've seen parts of it before, but it's the sort of thing I can easily re-watch while eating my breakfast this morning .
