This is a really great post, thanks. These video's of the shuttle are the best I have ever seen :top: I have always been a Shuttle fan!
I live 45 miles from the launch pad and have watched the shuttle take off for last 22 years just stepping outside my front door to my home.
Twice I have seen the shuttle launch while only a couple miles away on my 17ft. fishing boat (sold it) in the Banana river- inter-coastal waterway.
I got as close as the Coast Guard ships will let you get, and this was an amazing thing to see, hear and feel from so close. The ground shakes like an earthquake!!
