if there is anything more amazing than watching a shuttle launch. Thus far, my experiences have been limited to televised events only, but watching the shuttle lift off the pad as it literally rockets towards space is truly breathtaking - especially when you consider what is actually going on with regards to the specific physics of the vehicle and its quest to escape this planet's pull. The different camera angles offer a wealth of viewing possibilities with the side-mounted camera providing a very cool perspective. Quite simply, amazing.
