STS-133 Launch, what we saw.

Re-edited from it's original form (which was removed a long time ago), the final flight of Space Shuttle Discovery back in 2011

I saw discovery go up back in 2007 from a few miles away and honestly, it didn’t look MUCH different from this…it was certainly much louder and brighter. That crackle completely rattles your insides from miles away. Anyone who reads this, if you ever have the opportunity to see a rocket launch, do it. A launch and a total solar eclipse are the two “bucket list” items they everyone should see. No video does them justice…

Can’t believe how clear it was from over 60 mi. (hundred kilometers)

[@The_bunkering_channel]

Those flames are like 5 times longer then the entire vehicle, thats insane

[@ralphangel561]

You should check out the Saturn V flame trail. Over 1000 ft long

It's super badass from my house, 5 miles away from launch pad! The shuttle launches were amazing! Never got old! Now all the SpaceX, ula, blue origin launches are super awesome! Artemis 1 launch, November 16, was better than any shuttle launch!

As someone who just started attending ERAU a couple of weeks ago, this is a neat angle!

I love it, amazing camera angle of the shuttle

[@aaronscottmatthews7883]

absolutely fantastic footage from the E-R observer

@They should all be alive Brandon. It’s a shame when people achieve greatness after their demise.

[@brandonray4379]

@@shermankelly9062 True. I could only imagine how scared she must have been. I heard they survived the initial explosion only to fall 50,000 ft, at speeds up to 300 miles per hour and impacted the Atlantic Ocean. 😔

@@brandonray4379 Nice 🙂👍

[@SunayanaSB1998]

It's all because of the bigger people. Engineers clearly told that o ring cannot take that cold temperatures yet they suppressed them and went onto launch. It went onto become arguably the worst space shuttle disaster

[@brandonray4379]

@@SunayanaSB1998 Yeah, Christa Mcauliffe's mother last interview she was still disappointed she was holding her tears in as she was talking about it.

Go at throttle up. Since 1986, Im pretty sure these are the scariest words at NASA

Wasn't pad 39A the same pad Challenger launched from in 86?
