What it is
A 3m53s compilation of Space Shuttle launch footage (STS-121) with a mixed audio track made from many launch recordings and no music. The uploader built it to give a high-energy, bass-heavy sense of a live launch rather than a technically accurate countdown.

Cites Buksy · 2014-03 · Space Exploration Stack Exchange · on “Did the space shuttle fly straight "up" when leaving Earth?”
I was watching space shuttle launch [this video] recently, and at 2:53 you can see the space shuttle from an angle, even though it's high above the earth and you should see only the bottom. Did the space shuttle fly straight up at its launch or did it have a curve in its path?
Cites Stu · 2014-10 · Space Exploration Stack Exchange · on “What was the first rocket to use gimbaled thrust?”
A gimbaled thrust [LINK] system was used on the Space Shuttle, which is easily recognized in the beginning of this launch video [this video] . Was this technology first used by jet fighters, or was it first invented for rocket engines? What were the early successes and failures?
Cites karthikeyan · 2019-01 · Space Exploration Stack Exchange · on “What are these membranes at the aft end of the Shuttle that get torn off during lift off?”
The link to the Space Shuttle launch video [this video] . At 1:30 mark, three circular disks get torn away. It happens immediately after the engine ignition begins. Here is a cropped image of the Discovery after take off. Image source: Wikipedia page for Space Shuttle Discovery. [LINK] These disks seems universal of all launches. [LINK] What are they and why does this happen? What function do they serve? Adding images from the video for reference: [LINK]
