This is an amazing video to me.  It has the best images of the space shuttle launches I've ever seen.   My apologies if this has been posted before.

Pop yourself a bowl of popcorn and put this into wide screen viewing.  About 45 minutes long.

Shuttle engine ignition at about T +7 sec., SRBs at about T+12.
Clear the tower, about 50 m,  at about T+17 seconds. Not bad for 4 millions lbs of mass.

impressive video

Unbelievable imagery.  Thanks for posting this.

The fact that those long lens shots we're used to seeing (by long, they mean lenses several meters long) are all hand-operated is astounding to me.  I'd assumed they were done by some sophisticated motion-tracking servo system.  But trackballs?  Amazing.
