We throw people into space...


It wasn't until I saw this video that I realized just how spectacular it is that we throw people into space. I mean, seeing the pyrotechnics up close, which is the usual view for shuttle launces, is pretty special in itself, but seeing this little light being shot into the atmosphere at incredible speeds really puts it into perspective. I mean, there are people in that little light. Not only that, but they usually come back in one piece. It takes a lot to do that.

"If you're on the left side of the aircraft, you can probably see people on the right side of the aircraft looking at the Space Shuttle."

Brilliant.

That was pretty amazing to see. It was so fast!
