Wow those engines winding up and firing just incredible pure chills

I saw a shuttle launch, just before The Disaster. The traffic to Kennedy was amazing at 4am. We had a great spot to watch, similar to this video. It launched, to us, in total silence and was a good way into the air before the sound hit us. What an almighty noise! Pinned your ears back. On a later visit we went into a shuttle. The cockpit is smaller than you'd think.

Best program I ever worked on.  The good ole days.  Nothing to date comes close.

@BouncyBunny-h2v

The shuttle launches are the coolest.

I started working on the Space Shuttle program in 1979 as a college graduate until 1986.  I then began working on the world's largest optical telescope in 1988.  I may be able to answer questions if anyone has any.

God I miss the space shuttle.

@kjamison5951

I never tired of seeing a Shuttle launch.

@yomommanigga2501

My favorite part of the shuttle launch is the main engine start up. I still get chills

@theodorepetine7562

That sends chills up my spine awesome I live in Tarpon Springs Florida I watch the Kennedy space launch all the time from my balcony

@mickden3155

Still incredible to watch today. !!

I went to an open house lecture at the University of Washington when I was 14 and the guy in line behind me was one of the astronauts who worked on repairing Hubble.

@RubyMarkLindMilly

The rumble of those engines is epic

@cutgras

@erichowell8741

@wildfrank

I saw a shuttle launch in '93 whilst in Florida on my honeymoon - awesome.  Wranglerstar says the shuttle program was a hoax!

@xxZerosumxx

I'm glad I was able to see one take off before they retired

@matgeezer2094

Utterly awesome  - I love astronomy - the shuttle program was a major success - space is hard

Proud to have lived through this era.   When government was good at something
