This is easily the coolest thing I've ever seen on Youtube.

Apollo Saturn V launches just looked so much cooler. Rocket>space shuttle. most ridiculously awesome rocket ever to be launched though:

I've always wanted to see a launch.


Bullshit weather robbed me of 2. First was an Endeavour launch back in the 90s that was postponed due to possible rain, and the 2nd back in 03 was a thunderstorm.

The first one especially pissed me off because there was 0 reason to call it.

Fun fact for you, regarding weather postponements...they launched apollo 12 in the middle of a goddamn thunderstorm and it got struck by lightning twice...no problems. They won't launch a shuttle because the damn thing might destroy itself under perfect conditions.

Titusville and Cape Canaveral always get hit with horrible weather, I lucked out.

It's funny because I was there in person for Endeavor's landing in 08 and was there in person for the 2010 July launch
