In case some of you are interested - a video showing the Shuttle launch using footage from the cameras on or near the launch site.

Some stunning footage - well worth 45 minutes of your time.

Of all the things in flying the Shuttle it was his talking about re entry that most fascinated me.

Oh and just for something to think about there are a lot of pilots who think pulling power to zero thrust before you flare is dangerous on some airplanes really have no idea about how airplanes fly.
