Humans FTW!

The pilot had to twist the rudder to the left to avoid the plane tilting and turning from all the passengers rushing to the right side of the plane.

Yes.

..although separation of the solid fuel rockets would have been cool. When do those things pop off?

Sounds like it's being filmed by Fozzie Bear.

"Those of you on the right side of the aircraft, you can see the space shuttle. Those on the left side of the aircraft can probably see the people on the right side of the aircraft looking at the space shuttle."

Amazing. So sad to see the nearing end of the line for the space shuttle. What an incredible achievement for mankind. Here's hoping we can follow it up with something equal or hopefully better.

I was wondering how fast that thing goes....

One minute into take-off it's already going over 1,000 miles per hour. Re-entry is done at the hypersonic speed of Mach 23

AMERICA, FUCK YEA!

This is not a time to be sad. The best is yet to come. There's a whole universe out there waiting for us. It's time to reach for the stars on a larger scale than ever before.
