This was shot at the Press Site at Kennedy Space Center during the launch of space shuttle Endeavour to the International Space Station. This is the last scheduled night launch of the space shuttle ever. Endeavour delivered the Tranquility Node 3 module and cupola to the space station.
This is what makes America great! Thank-you for posting this! We were at Kennedy, and plan to watch from Titusville, next month!
Titusville definitely has a better view than the space center unless you can get a ticket to stand out on NASA Causeway. The visitor center view is not as good as Space View Park or Kennedy Point (or anywhere along the river) in Titusville. I used to go there years ago to watch. Now I have to be at the KSC Press Site (in front of the flag and clock). Have to, get to… whichever lol. That’s a perk of being in the news media I guess.
I was at the space center the first night and decided to go to titusville the second, better view in titusville. This launch was the best. Spacearium how do you always get good spots, please let me in on your secret!!!!
Amazing view! How lucky are we to have experienced this as floridians? I’m going to miss all the spectacular night launches, I posted a vid of the launch seen from Orlando.
too bad obama is cutting the space program…in a few years…this will no longer happen in america…Obama is the best *not*
I was in Titusville and still the Rumble and the View was awsome. Was There sunday morning and Monday morning. Every single “waiting” second was worth it !!!
Great up close view. I posted a vid from across the Indian River. Wish I could have been in your location.
I’d like to have a clock on the camera, but that’s not possible. With a night launch, I have to zoom in because of the contrast between the flame of the SRB’s and the night sky. If I stay zoomed out, then all you’d see of launch would be a big orange glow. I prefer to get zoomed in to be able to see the shuttle rising. But, maybe zooming in at T-6 instead of T-30. Oh, and remembering NOT to fad to black after tower clear. That was my mistake.
Turn the volume all the way up in minute 1.22, it’s amazing, my regards to Zamka.
Ditto about the clock, but the rest is exceptional!
Why, just when we need the countdown clock for a reference point, you zoom in so we can’t read more than the top of the numbers then lose the picture on the zoom out. Next time leave the zoom lens alone during launch and just track. Great SOUND though- love the natural sound.
always amazes me to see & hear a launch. would love to see it first hand must be awesome
