Video from the perspective if you were in the viewing stands - listen to the crowd's enthusiam - watch the neat cloud reflection.

After the video go to Trey Ratcliff's site to see just about the most original shot of a shuttle launch EVER.

Nasa has posted this 36 minute video of the view down the booster rocket to the shuttle - great shot. It continues as the booster rockets separate and then spin in space for some time. There are several sequences showing different views, all interesting, including as the booster rocket parachutes open up and they eventually hit the ocean. Real Science!
