    I found this recently:

    It's a really impressive documentary put out by NASA, showing a shuttle launch using imagery from dozens of their engineering cameras. There are some really unique views, and it certainly gave me a new appreciation of the power and complexity of a space shuttle launch.

    Glad at least someone liked it. :) I'm surprised this hasn't gotten any more response than it has.
