Nasa shuttle launch Atlantis (high definition)

[Gil T.Azell]

Some of these shots from space are truly amazing, I'm going to miss them. they make me realize just how small, we really are.
the music fits
A poster on you tube named hearts76100 nailed it when they said

Absolutely fantastic! This is when human beings impress the hell out of me with such ability to do great things instead of killing each other all over the world!

I would love to see this one day! HATS OFF AMERICA.....BRITAIN SALUTES YOU

Too cool. Makes me really sad that I'll never be able to witness a shuttle launch firsthand. That final space shot with the moon disappearing over the horizon was fantastic.

Damn. I always wanted to see a shuttle launch and it does sadden me that i won't be able to now. But that video was totally awesome.

It would have been much better without the gratuitous musical accompaniment. Especially when it was taking off.

The ISS schedule has a shuttle pencilled in for next year. I've heard rumbles that the planned axing of the shuttle program may not be as clear cut as initially laid out.

Anyway, a big thanks to the original poster for drawing our attention to this beautiful video. Somehow, I can't help feeling that I'm watching Star Trek coming to life.

I never got to see a launch, but I did get to see the Enterprise and Challenger land at Edwards AFB. Utterly fantastic!!!
