Space Shuttle 'Endeavour' launch

Nice 1min video of the recent Endeavour launch here :

Taken 3miles away, so the sound hits at around 15seconds or so into the video (sound travels around 1 mile in 5seconds).

It's too bad they're shutting down operations. I went to Cape Canaveral last year, and it seemed so unreal that the never-ending list of shuttle missions would come to an end like this. Anyway, nothing can live on credit forever, I guess.

There's also this weird picture of the shuttle illuminating the clouds with an orange glow. I like that one.
