Great video and sound recording of Endeavour's final launch
23. 05. 11
A great video produced by videographers David Gonzales and Mike Deep who filmed Endeavour's final launch with two cameras from the Kennedy Space Centre Press Site. The film was originally produced for Universe Today and is a very accurate capture of what a shuttle launch sounds like, from the countdown, to the cheering of the crowd, to the crackling and popping of the launch itself.
