It's pretty amazing, watching the Earth drop away like that. Plus hearing them explain how the colors of the rocket's flame change with altitude is a darn useful detail when writing SF. No kidding.

Congrats to them! I'm really curious who NASA gets to do their cameras, because comparitively to this video, NASA needs another vendor in that arena. What a difference. I do realize there are probably some significant issues with the size of the space shuttle vs. this rocket as far as stability, but the picture is just brilliant on the SpaceX rocket. Wow! Congrats to them!
