STS-112 Ascent video (plus HUDs from 100,000 ft down) on L2 now.

Here's a short clip of the 50 minute video

I think I'd react like that if things started floating around in front of me :)

This could be used a recruiting video for the space industry, it's that good.

You also get to see an orbiter performing flawlessly.

Worth mentioning we've got another full re-entry video from STS-93. Very different in it's own way, especially some brilliant teamwork on the landing.

Well just the short edited video was totally awesome, thanks for that. Will have to see about getting that 2hr version :)

Just downloading the new one, another DVD to be burned, although the STS-115 re-entry video is pride of place in my collection. If you like the trailer, the 355mb full version is for you, even if NASA should have released this anyway, it's the best PR around for the Shuttle.

Will there be a chance this will become acquired for STS-116 too?

The full length video starts with deorbit preps, so that'll be a good idea to have this running on another screen to get a great on board idea of what's going on.

If would be cool if there was, because I know Mark Polansky's nephew on another web forum, and I'm sure he'd love to see his uncle at work :)

This is amazing!  Just watched the teaser and I must say it really puts the human element back into the work they do up there, and I have to agree it would do amazing PR for the shuttle program!

Of course, this video IS the final straw... I will be signing up for L2 momentarily so I can watch the entire video.  I'm sold.
I hope this site continues to grow, and become a large positive presence (more so than it already is), in the space-fan community!

I've seen it on L2 and hands down it's THE best space flight video ever, and amazing PR for sure, but L2 is even better. You get a real respect for the amount of work that goes on behind the scenes at NASA, especially people like Wayne Hale, who must be some sort of machine :)

My thoughts are with Columbia more so after watching this successful re-entry.

To be honest, it was too cool to be sat on the flight deck for me to to think about the point Columbia was lost and it might be best not to.

Going to watch it again with some friends tonite on my plasma for about the 100th times :) THE coolest thing ever.

I might join you on that, don't forget to watch out for crosswinds ;)

I've been sent a specific request just to see the deorbit burn, so I've attached it to the opening post.

I asked kindly if Chris could do this, and he did.  Thank you very much, Chris.  Great video.  :)

EDIT:  Only reason I asked is because they don't show you the deorbit burn on television, and I've seen about everything else.
