STS-129 Ascent Video Highlights

Posted by kdawson on from the only-five-launches-left dept.

An anonymous reader sends in this link to a video of 12-1/2 minutes of Space Shuttle pr0n. The people at the Johnson Space Center put together this video of the ascent of STS-129 using multiple imagery assets — ground, air, booster, and the shuttle itself. The booster's-eye view of splashdown and immersion is something you don't see every day. As a bonus, another anonymous reader shared a beautiful photo of the shuttle flying over rugged terrain after it separated from the ISS last week.

    It's too big to be a space station.... so it's definitely pr0n.

    So what exactly did STS129 agree to?

    They gave their assent to ascent in order to affect effects for our affection. Okay, now I'm confused again.
