I am not American but felt uplifted by this Video. I did spend some years doing business with Americans and never felt so much love and hospitality from its people whom are awesome hosts. I love and enjoy the American way. I would love to visit again in the future. I pray the Space programme and many new projects will someday come back and make Americans proud. God Bless you all.
Hahaha.... people are just people. From everywhere. Bad things happen but there is more good people than bad in this world. Nationalities don't mean more than a line drawn in a map and some history behind. If you just look at people being people, you see we are all the same. Different ideas, religions, color of the skin, same problems, same love for our families, same care for the common good. That's what matters. When we all talk more and fight less and learn more from one another, just then we'll take advantage of our full potential. Together.
one of the most beautiful things i have ever seen, rivaled only by being at a launch in person and watching the shuttle soar skyward and dissapear from sight
Wow. This film really captures the grandeur and incredible majesty of the shuttle missions. The space program, made up of many brave heroes and years of dedication, is one of the many things we Americans can be proud of.
Of all of the ascent highlight videos, I like this one the best. Sad day yesterday to see Atlantis land an no that we will never see this amazing vehicle fly again. I remember the day STS 1 landed, the double sonic booms and how exciting it was to watch it glide in for a touch down.
If you don't get goosebumps watching this and are not amazed then you need to go back to school and take some psychics, chemistry, or even just an earth science class. friggin amazing.
Absolutely magnificent! A breathtaking experience with all the feel of *being* a part of this final launch. Must be seen at 720p and full screen, and I wish it were in 1080p. I'd pipe it over to the big screen. Thanks, guys!!
Un vídeo muy bonito de la Ultima misión de Space Shuttle Endeavour, recordamos con mucho aprecio a estas naves espaciales que fueron pioneras en la exploración espacial, mi Space Shuttle preferido es Endeavour, por su significado en español (Esfuerzo), pues me recuerda que debemos hacer un esfuerzo en muchas actividades de nuestra vida para poder llegar a la meta.
The Video footage is just brilliant. Matched to brilliant music and sounds of the launch. Will never see one in real life, however this comes as a good substitute. Thanks and Cheers
Stunning video, it made me cry. Felt awe, pride and sorrow that such an amazing fully functional and productive machine is being put in a museum. It's shameful.
Simply stunning - if my sons, when they're older in years to come, ask me what the space shuttle launch was like, I think this would have to be the reference video to show them.
Great vid. Perfect counterpart to the STS 133 vid. The Claire de lune section brought a tear to my eye. Its just so sad the shuttles are going when they still have plenty of life in them - what a bad decision!
What a fantastic video, you guys do have a sense of drama ;-) Great to see all camera views on launch, great editing and music choice. Play Full screen and loud! Need to feel it !
Amazing Video Nasa. This simply left me breathless and I witness the launch in person! Thank you for sharing. I agree with the others, videos of the shuttle launches on Blu-ray with uncompressed sound would be amazing!
It gives me the chills every time they lite one of these.... The Saturn 5 videos as well.....there's so much that has to go right...it's a wonder any of them ever achieve orbit.
Getting strapped to highly explosive materials for the sole intent of exploding those materials while you are still strapped to it (in 1 direction at least), in a metal can with the only protection from the intense heat of reentry is extremely fragile "sandpaper marshmallow" tiles, all while putting your body through intense physical duress for months at a time. The. Freaking. Balls
(We need a Boxcar that makes Mach 25 going uphill to carry classified and are willing to make some huge engineering trade-offs in order to make that spacelift. We know we can land flying bodies. We have the crew to do this. Get it done.)
Best video yet, guys! Really outstanding, outstanding stuff. I hope you make a Blu-ray disc of all these videos, at their highest possible quality (I saw some combing in this one), so I can project it onto a big screen and just get lost in it. Thank you very much!
Yes yes yes! Reel Nasa is the shbeep! Been waiting for this video since the launch. Its absolutely magnificent. All these ascent highlight videos, I love them and I love the space shuttle as well. Thank you!
Amazing footage! While I am very excited to see the next step in the exploration of space, I feel like we have very big shoes to fill after the era of the shuttle. What an amazing ship. This video really deserves more views, this is great stuff.
I second the vote on >>>>> pls make this and all your videos into Blu-rays.. and what is the omg beautiful music that you put especially the opening of this section this with.. & the words bring me near to tears. We must *not stop* the exploration of space.! Godspeed NASA & all of our courageous, brilliant astronauts & all the untold thousands of people in so many locations across the globe who have supported them. Keep it up!/ tell congress and the President to increase NASA's support!
Amazing footage, superb bird's eye view of the launch all the way into space, it almost makes feel you are flying the shuttle. I bet it's the ultimate ride, heart pumping a thousand times a minute. Keep reaching for stars NASA!
I'm fearful that we may never be that ambitious again. It's hard work tearing yourself away from the computer to get out there and actually DO something...
As a big fan of the shuttles, I have to point out that following the Columbia tragedy, a new assessment was made of the operational life expectancies of the orbiter fleet and they found that 100 missions was not realistic. I still strongly feel that the program should not have been ended until AFTER a replacement was ready to fly. That's the biggest shame IMO.
Nice, good job. Farewell Endeavour. Every people, who likes space should be thankful for the Shuttle team. This era top be ended, so now the spot on the followers - SpaceX, Virgin Galactic, Blue Origin, Orbital Science, Bigelow, Russian space program, ESA. Don't let us grounded. And don't forget, NASA have the new target: deep space. Hope they will got enough resources for achieving good results in that! (I would be glad to see people on the Moon again, and on the Mars also! :)
I find some of the negative comments very sad - and you wonder why the US is in dire straits- the hope is gone - the dreams of the possible are gone - to do space is hard, so you sit at home on your computer and play games - gee that's creative - but to build this ship took many hours and many dedicated people - I find this trek one of the most creative things we done - space, the final frontier!
Another great launch video! I'm am going to miss these when the Shuttle retires. thepianolover4ever - do you mean the "Twang" at the start on the pad? Its caused by the main engines igniting, thats why there is the delay until the boosters ignite so they can be upright again on release.
With all due respect, but I am curious as to your background in space flight and the shuttles. I have 40 years under my belt in the Space flight field, and I can tell you that as a FACT, the Shuttle fleet had a lot of life left in it. I tell you this from my own personal experience, and with person discussions I have had with Shuttle Astronauts, flight controllers, NASA engineers, etc. The move to retire the Shuttle fleet was ALL Political!
It was cancelled in 2004 by George W. Bush in response to the Columbia disaster. It was cancelled to limit any other losses and was only used from that point on to help build the ISS.
Could one of you throw this up for a nomination for a documentary short to the Oscars - if facebook and twitter can get Betty White on SNL this should have a good chance - most of you are a little more savvy at this than I - I'm a retired Scotty - most will know what that means - thanks
it amazes me how just a couple of those small metal rods can attach the space ship to the rockets. why does the rocket tilt as it ascends? why does it not just go straight up?
I have lived through the Sputnik era and through the entire Space Shuttle program. I have taught the refreshed earth science and general science curricula that this nation developed to react to the then Soviet advances in space technology. I have seen the faces of children in the high school classroom light up when they "got it" in basic physics and earth science. With the demise of the US in space exploration, NASA is now a relic. China, India and Russia now command the space frontier. Sad.
Ah, jeez, just a bunch of engineers seeing what they can do - you'd be amazed at the things I have seen and done - I'm just an engineer trained by Scotty - " Enjoy these days, they'll never come again".
To be able to rise from the earth; to be able, from a station in outer space, to see the relationship of the planet earth to other planets; to be able to contemplate the billions of factors in precise and beautiful combination that make human existence possible to be able to dwell on an encounter of the human brain and spirit with the universe all this enlarges the human horizon,

@@lucasaimar6427 Americans are good!
Probably the best EVER film about American achievement in space!
This is my favorite ascent highlight
Mine too!
Mine to, i miss the Spaceshutlle every time i watch this... the US should continue these missions
This is the best shuttle launch video I've ever seen, and far better than most Hollywood sci-fi movies. Thank you.
Stunning! Gorgeous! And we were there to see it, too! Thank you for this moving video.
one of the most beautiful things i have ever seen, rivaled only by being at a launch in person and watching the shuttle soar skyward and dissapear from sight
Having the honor of watching my favorite video exactly 10 years after its posting.
Eternal nostalgia for the space shuttle era. 👨🚀🚀

The images captured from the boosters in freefall was amazing. Excellent use of score there too. Great editing.
I am not American, But Feel American just watching this. Inspirational.!! Thank u.
Video stupendo per una Macchina meravigliosa.😍 continuo a guardarlo da anni.
David Melendrez, you are brilliant! Made me cry...
THIS is far out the best video I've seen from the launch...it almost brings tears to my eyes..so beautiful...

This video is just awesome! I was at Endeavour's last launch and find this video very touching.
This is my favorite video..
And fav ship Endeavour ❤️
The Video footage is just brilliant. Matched to brilliant music and sounds of the launch. Will never see one in real life, however this comes as a good substitute. Thanks and Cheers
Have a great New Year's ! / / thanks
Stunning video, it made me cry. Felt awe, pride and sorrow that such an amazing fully functional and productive machine is being put in a museum. It's shameful.
Fantastic video and production. Thanks NASA and David Melendez

Great vid. Perfect counterpart to the STS 133 vid. The Claire de lune section brought a tear to my eye. Its just so sad the shuttles are going when they still have plenty of life in them - what a bad decision!
What a fantastic video. Both informative and supremely beautiful.
The Space Shuttle really was the greatest flying machine ever created wasn't it...
Beautiful video! Thank you for putting this together. It brought a tear to my eyes. Farewell Endeavour!
That is the best imagery compilation I've seen from NASA. The wealth and quality of the video and audio for missions is amazing now!
7:00 roll sequence ... WOW! Hollywood could never make a more dramatic scene!
This video is so great, when the SRB rockets fired my headset and ears were shaking.
Wow!!! Nice! This is a GREAT! What a beautiful spaceship... I got all teary-eyed watching this. *sigh*
What a fantastic video, you guys do have a sense of drama ;-)
Great to see all camera views on launch, great editing and music choice. Play Full screen and loud! Need to feel it !
It gave me a huge lump in my throat. I felt like I was watching the end of our greatest ever analog technical advancement.
Amazing Video Nasa.
This simply left me breathless and I witness the launch in person!

素晴らしい映像を有り難う! 編集もgood! STS-134の good job &無事の帰還を祈ってます。
This is the most beautiful thing I've seen

These guys knew 40% of the shuttles had been destroyed in action.
Strapped in a controlled volatile explosive! It must have been amazing to ride in the most technologically advanced machine man has ever built!
Best video yet, guys! Really outstanding, outstanding stuff. I hope you make a Blu-ray disc of all these videos, at their highest possible quality (I saw some combing in this one), so I can project it onto a big screen and just get lost in it.
Thank you very much!
Why isn't this one of the most watched videos... ever?
This has to be one of the best videos I've seen from NASA. Very nicely done. Can't stop watching it...
Yes yes yes! Reel Nasa is the shbeep! Been waiting for this video since the launch. Its absolutely magnificent. All these ascent highlight videos, I love them and I love the space shuttle as well. Thank you!
Wow!!! Nice! This is a GREAT! What a beautiful spaceship...
Amazing footage! While I am very excited to see the next step in the exploration of space, I feel like we have very big shoes to fill after the era of the shuttle. What an amazing ship.
This video really deserves more views, this is great stuff.
Wow! David, and all involved, this is an AMAZING video! Well done!
Amazing video!!! :D. At 10:19 there was an SRB parachute failure, it ripped apart, I have not not herd anything about this.
This one brought a tear to my eye. Good job!

WOW WHAT A GREAT VID!!... Thanx Nasa... Best 13:21 secs i've spent on youtube in a longtime....
Amazing footage, superb bird's eye view of the launch all the way into space, it almost makes feel you are flying the shuttle. I bet it's the ultimate ride, heart pumping a thousand times a minute. Keep reaching for stars NASA!

God, this video is amazing!! Better than ANY Sci-fi movie! Go NASA!!!
@leonardaphillips agree with your sentiments -- it's very sad.

I still strongly feel that the program should not have been ended until AFTER a replacement was ready to fly. That's the biggest shame IMO.
Hola despues de 10 años lo veo thanks sts 134 crew nasa!
Nice production, even showed the load box! I bet you guys pulled some allnighters to edit this video. 70K views since May 28, congrats!
Love this video. Very nicely done guys!
Nice, good job.
Farewell Endeavour.
Every people, who likes space should be thankful for the Shuttle team.
This era top be ended, so now the spot on the followers - SpaceX, Virgin Galactic, Blue Origin, Orbital Science, Bigelow, Russian space program, ESA. Don't let us grounded.
And don't forget, NASA have the new target: deep space. Hope they will got enough resources for achieving good results in that! (I would be glad to see people on the Moon again, and on the Mars also! :)
Damn, someone put some love into this video. Well deserved, i feel.
I find some of the negative comments very sad - and you wonder why the US is in dire straits- the hope is gone - the dreams of the possible are gone - to do space is hard, so you sit at home on your computer and play games - gee that's creative - but to build this ship took many hours and many dedicated people - I find this trek one of the most creative things we done - space, the final frontier!
As I watched this I was having flashbacks to the Transformers movie with that music playing..
The vision for future generation: To reach for the stars and other worlds like our own planet Earth.
Best NASA video I have ever seen! Great video!
Another great launch video! I'm am going to miss these when the Shuttle retires. thepianolover4ever - do you mean the "Twang" at the start on the pad? Its caused by the main engines igniting, thats why there is the delay until the boosters ignite so they can be upright again on release.
INCREDIBLE!!!
@epicuniversal it happens. the other two chutes still provide enough drag to bring it down without shattering
great video

Great job David Melendrez!
Very good Mark!!!!
Eternal Respect
Spectacular!
gave me goosebumps...epic
I think that is NONSTOP MUSIC in there. Very cool. Big Bold Epic!!!! Those guys are awesome. Check out their stuff.
Adoro vê, tudo isso!é lindo demais.
Beautiful beautiful!
My headphones are vibrating
WHAT is playing at 6:37? I must have that music!
Great video!
großartiges video. kann mir jemand sagen, wie das erste lied heißt.
it amazes me how just a couple of those small metal rods can attach the space ship to the rockets.
why does the rocket tilt as it ascends? why does it not just go straight up?
Thanks
@abbasean it's the external fuel tank filled with liquid hydrogen. It disintegrates in the atmosphere upon re-entry.
I wonder how they cleaned up the footage from the SRBs...
What a ride !!!!
She will be missed!...
"We must not stop." Cdr Mark Kelly
He said it all.

Nice to see there are people out there that think alike! :D
My famliy on board. Endevour, I am so proud of SPECIALIST Mike Fincke .

humanity's future is among the stars :)
let us always endeavor to extend our reach, broaden our horizons and secure our future's.
thanks
Ah, jeez, just a bunch of engineers seeing what they can do - you'd be amazed at the things I have seen and done - I'm just an engineer trained by Scotty - " Enjoy these days, they'll never come again".

all this enlarges the human horizon,
So, uh, where can I get that version of Claire de Lune?
