I’ve always wanted to see a shut­tle launch. I’ve been in Florida for five years, and still not seen one up close. So when the shut­tle was set to launch at a time I could actu­ally go, I grabbed the opportunity.

This is very likely the last night launch of a shut­tle: STS-128

Now through the power of iPhone and QuickTime X, you too can enjoy the ball of fire that is a shut­tle launch.
