Space Shuttle Launch Seen From Air Canada Flight


This is not the angle you typically see the Space Shuttle launching from. Video was taken by a passenger on an Air Canada flight. It was uploaded last month so there's a good chance this was the launch of STS-124. Two things for certain; the photographer was highly impressed and this was a very unique and interesting perspective to see a launch.

So, what dick is going to say it's faked first?

Photoshopped... 100% fake. I know this because I made it.

How about a "via" for where you found this clip.

Steve said...

Umm...I thought the Live Leak logo in the video would explain where I found it if I didn't credit someone else. Good thing the blog police inspect this site.

The guy is probably the pornstar and this is the reason of that "This is soooo cool."

The guy speaking is the American teenage boy stereotype. This stereotype is in face too common to be called stereotype.

Go easy on the guy, willya? I heard a kid's voice. Maybe daddy was trying to watch his language - which always ends up limiting your vocabulary - on top of being basically speechless. I ROFLd when he lost it there at the end. :-)

I'd probably be saying the same things - but it would be mixed in with:

Woooooooaaaaaaahhhh d00d! Check it out! That's the space shuttle! Holy f***! Pass me the camera, quick!

(turns around in seat, says to passengers in next row)

Check it out, you guys! That is F***ING AWESOME!

(realizes I've just said a dirty word to a very nice older couple - just my luck, it's a retired minister and spouse)

Oops, sorry. Excuse my French.

(blushes, turns around frontwards, fumbles for a few seconds trying to remember how to shoot a movie with brand-new digital camera)

Oh yeah, got it. Oh maaaaaaaan, that is UNBEF***INLIEVABLE! I mean, that is MADE OF AMAZING! OMG! ALL YOUR SKY ARE BELONG TO U.S.! Maaaaaaan, that is SOOOOOOOO B*TCHIN! w00000000000t!

(whine) No faaaaaaaaaaair, man! I wanna go too!!!1!!111!!!!eleventyhundredeleven!!!(/whine)

how do you know that's the space shuttle, rather than some communication satellite or something? all that was really visible was a point of light atop a huge pillar of smoke.

American? Listen again. Dude is obviously Canadian.

Hellchylde said...

you know its the shuttle due to the time frame the video was taken.. and as far as anything else goes.. who cares.. Y argue about ones nationality or parenting skills on the basis of a simple video .?

What a moron.

Having seen a launch live from KSC, I can tell you it is an extremely awe inspiring experience. This guys reaction was spot on, and if you are lucky enough to see it up close, you are rendered speechless.

Canadian? Naaa. He's from L.A. I know because he's my cousin.

The guy in the shuttle was all like "Goodbye world"...then the dude goes, "Look how fast it's going!"... Shuttle guy says, "Thats right fool, look at you in your worthless little airplane, flying at only 30,000 feet, bringing you to some boring place so you can complete one of your life's menial tasks, while I go alien hunting."... Dude's like, "That's soooo cool." ...Shuttle guy goes, "What? Can't hear you. I'm all the way up in outer space like a real man, fulfilling life's true purpose of exploring the universe." ...dude says, "Holy smokes," and contemplates his hollow existance.
