Incredible, especially the segment as it breaks the sound barrier and all the compression vapor disappears.

PS; .....and Obama pissed it all away!

Awesome!!! Too bad we don't do that anymore.

I couldn’t see it here so I found it on YouTube. Watch it in 720 and fullscreen if you can.

First things first - I despise 0bama. However, in the 30 years of the space shuttle program, WTF did we the taxpayer get for the billions and billions and billions of dollars NASA spent?
In my opinion, NASA long ago became just as useless as the Depts of Energy, Education, EPA, etc.
All of them (and many others) have become so politicized they're little more than tools for the pinko-commies to overthrow the Constitution.

Cmon.

That’s not nearly as exciting and awe-inspiring as seeing 300 lb racist, generational parasites checking out via EBT cards, with a stack of T-Bones and salmon fillets, at the local supermarket.

I don't know.

I kept wondering what the camera was mounted on.

Impressive video, however the shuttles orbited the earth about 22,000 times and at the end was relegated to resupplying the ISS...

One of the biggest successes IMO was the repair to Hubble.

You do realize that the Shuttle was canceled under G.W. Bush, right?
