Uploaded the launch of space shuttle, Discovery. This video is taken on the 4th of July at Daytona Beach, Florida.
This has to be one of the most memorable events that happened in the summer of 2006. I recall we were fooling around on the beach when a couple approached me and asked if I knew the time the shuttle will be launched. I was like, "what shuttle?". The kind man then told me that there was going to be a shuttle launch near Miami Beach (which is 6 hours drive away from where we were?). And a few minutes later, there was a loud noise and we saw a tiny fireball with smoke streaming behind it in the sky.
You can see the shuttle moving and getting smaller, and it finally disappears into the atmosphere. Almost like magic. Love that part. =D
We were really fortunate to witness the launch. How many times in a lifetime will one see something like that? Probably never. Unless you stay in Florida, Russia, or China? We were in the right place at the right time then.
Eh, sorry about the angle cuz I took it in vertical. Only realised 20 seconds later that it's not going to turn out right before changing the angle. And the clip is a little shaky too.
