Cool view. Some high school students got a
similar shot with cameras mounted under a
high flying helium balloon.
Lets race!
And I can already tell that the shuttle contrail is NOT persistent.
Honestly… Oooooh-Ahhhhh….
Kudos to the guy taking the video, both for the quality and sharing it.
(and thanks to DV for posting it)
Cool view, but is still cooler watching it at KSC
I don’t mean to be contrarian but it is a crap video-completely uninteresting. What makes it incredible is the “idea” behind it. Kinda like the context of words. Words that have meaning. Just like man going into space.
Are we men of science, or devo?
I watched the shuttle launch this week, my first. Definitely awe inspiring and the thought that this shuttle would end up in a museum after this flight was weird.
What on Earth does ‘devo’ mean?
#8–Culturally Detached==make google your friend.
To that end, I was “shocked” to see the first four entries were to my own postings here at DU. Will my dropping foul the future until the next apocalypse?
Then wiki, which is fair, for as any iconoclast, I modified/built on the precedent.
bobbo, Devo was a band from the 80s, the name stands for “de-evolution.”
Here’s the launch of STS-124 taken from the external tank. Skip the first 25 secs.
Well, bobbo, there’s a little more to it than that. In the movie “Island of Lost Souls ” The “animal people are always asking “Are we not men?”
Devo, said group of the 80″s had a song that asked “Are we not men?”
The answer was ” We are Devo.”
…..and?…….
That’s not the Space Shuttle – that’s an optical illusion! It’s a 747 taking off from the Jacksonville airport.
This was not shuttle launch. It was just contrail of the other plane flight. Nothing to see here… /s
Odd that the FAA (or whoever) scheduled a commercial flight so close to the launch area of the shuttle.
Don’t waste you bits arguing with Bobbo.
The man is utterly ignorant and proud of it.
#16 He’s not ignorant. He just needs his meds.
Am I correct in my understanding that from now on if an American wants to go into space they will have to hitch a ride with a rocket from some other nation?
This truly marks the end of an era. We no longer lead. I’m not even sure we are following.
#18–do-ill==No.
Hey, that guy was operating an electronic device (video camera) on the aircraft – why didn’t the plane immediately explode or the wings fall off?
