Space Shuttle ATLANTIS Launch Footage (STS-117)

Sat, 29 Nov 2008 19:57:27 GMT

Launch footage of STS-117 (ATLANTIS) from Kennedy Space Center in Florida on June 8, 2007. The video was taken with a small video camera I mounted on a leg of one of my remote camera tripods at the press site. As you'll see, the shuttle goes up like a white-hot flare and the sound is so loud it knocks the wind out of you. For photos of the launch and landing, visit my on-line portfolio at http://www.durlingmedia.com.
