Subject: RE: [newmellotrongroup] other Apollo 11 - The sound of burning
aluminum (again)

 

  

I 'm also quite envious,..my only trip to the cape was during the "down
time" between Apollo/Soyuz joint mission and the Space Shuttle development.

 

I know people that have witnessed a shuttle launch, and it is in their words
- indescribable. 

Videos don't do it justice, but sometimes you can get a good one that almost
captures the being there quality..

The rare combination of vantage point, atmospheric conditions and lighting
can  make for a really unique experience.some even mange to get a hint of
the awesome power unleashed.

So, for the benefit of those that haven't seen these links before:

 

*         My new favorite video.mainly because of the nice light bounce back
that illuminates the exhaust column at 1:16 into the video, plus the
incredible sound from 

time marker 1:46 to 1:51, make it worth watching (just need to get past the
family babble and national anthem in the beginning)..

 

Columbia dawn launch:

*         This one is my second favorite, just for the sheer intensity of
the roar and the ripping, crackling of the SRB engines at time marker 0:36
to 0:58.

The car alarms being set off by the vibration all around the launch
spectator are amusing.

 

Discovery night launch:

*        This one's not bad..pumps some serious air on my speakers..
