Of all the NASA space shots that I've watched - and I've watched quite a few, including the one that put men on the moon for the first time - none have kept me glued to the screen like this video-verite of the launch of STS-135, from ground to sub-orbital altitude and back (the boosters come back to Earth by parachute, the shuttle will land the way it always does later this week), seen from several angles via cameras mounted on the solid rocket boosters or I guess the big middle fuel tank.
