You need a sound system with a lot of power and a great sub (turned up to house shaking level) to get the right effect of this video. I made this for all the people who dreamed of seeing a launch in person but were never able to make the trip themselves.
Using dozens of different video sources and countless audio versions of Shuttle launches I mixed this little clip together to mimic as close an experience to the real thing as I could. I know that the exact sequence of countdown events is somewhat compressed and not time-accurate but I was going more for the 'feel' of a high energy launch experience rather than a technical documentary. Throttle Up and SRB Separation are sounds as might be heard from onboard acoustic transducers picking up resonant vibration in the vehicle's structure.
Please take care not to damage your sound equipment during playback. I did not do anything to boost the low frequency roar of the Shuttle during liftoff but the SRB and SSME thrust noise may be taxing to even high quality sub-woofers and speaker cones if played too loud.
For those who sit through the last few frames you can catch a glimpse of my home theater system I built a couple of years ago. This video really is best viewed at 165 inches or better!

I can’t deny how impressive SpaceX and their rockets are but I’d be damned if I said that this isn’t more badass looking. Just reminds you that the astronauts are essentially riding a controlled explosion in a big metal shell at insane speeds into space.

The startup of the three main engines might be the most satisfying thing I've ever seen. It just looks so perfect when the exhaust transitions from red and turbulent to pretty much transparent with white mach diamonds (or whatever they are called). Just so clean and smooth😮
-
i just realized, in my 17 years of life, ive never actual seen a blast off, only on animated shows but HOLY SHIT THAT LOOKS AWESOME
-
I love how you can hear a bunch of car alarms going off in the background at the end because of the sheer power of the vibrations of the launch
-
The space shuttle launches are the most elegant rocket launches I've ever seen. So coordinated and perfect. This is one of the best launches as well.

Just blew apart my woofers, thanks

I had the privilege to watch the space shuttle take off in 1995 in person. Unforgettable.
-
From Canada, thank you and god bless q!!

November 2023. I never get tired of watching and hearing the raw power of these amazing vehicles.
-
I think as humans we have done some amazing things but this is the absolute pinnacle. The power required to leave the earth's atmosphere is awesome. When that Craft takes off it's just so beautiful. A fantastic video. Steve 👍

God how I need you now.

Thanks for this! We saw this one in person, as we had a friend on the flight. This flight had the extension arm to assist in external repair of the Space Station, & he walked out on it. It was so exciting to be there for the launch, and great to see it again. He was also on STS 124.

The space shuttle is my favorite rocket/launch vehicle. It gives me chills every time.

Keep coming back to this video every now and then. It really is the pinnacle of mankind. Absolutely incredible.
