Thanks for the post, adios shuttle program, it has been humbling and jaw-dropping to have lived during your time.

I'm always amazed at how relatively smooth the launch of the shuttle is. In cockpit videos you can tell that vibration is minimal and it seems like pure upward accceleration G-forces at work. Amazing, and though it is sad to close this chapter, we know the future holds more incredible technology and space travel yet. Thanks again for the video, from one space junky to another.
