4:18 for the start of the interesting stuff.

I love that you chose to pair a metal song with the launch. The song compliments the epicness and badassness of the launch.

This has to be the best footage I have ever seen of a Space Shuttle period. Discovery Space Shuttle deserved this kind of appreciation. Discovery took care of our astronauts and now we shall take care of her. The music was simply beautiful.

HELLO FROM COSTA RICA! Beautiful Beautiful video

Over 90 million horsepower alone for the three SSME, one of the most sophisticated and powerful engine ever made. Each one could be flown more than 50 times. This power will now lift the SLS rocket/Artemis. The engines will be sadly discarded, Space Shuttle Discovery itself has flown over 238 million km and has been a full year in space(all flights combined)

It's just unbelievable that there are people inside that magnificent piece of engeneering as it roars through the skies! Just look at the flames coming out of that thing...

I stayed up till 4AM to watch this from my laptop in California! I'm glad I didn't miss it, but literally 5 minutes after it was all over I passed out. Woke up 4 hours later for High School, and only 2 teachers were sympathetic......the 2 teachers I happened to NOT have that year. I passed out in the first 3 classes though, and my teachers let me be too, so that was a bonus!

What a dull title for such a brilliant video! Really brilliant compilation of some stunning footage. Discovery was my favorite shuttle and I'm glad her final voyage was so thoroughly cataloged.
-
Some of the most awesome videos about the Shuttle launches ever: Ascent Imagery Highlights. Whenever and whatever comes next: I hope they'll get coverage as great as this
-
I really miss watching these mammoths take off. They may have been money sponges and not the most practical but they were beautiful in their way. The power!
-
This amazing video footage fully stands on its own without the need for adding strobe-effect cuts, reflective imagery and a bizarre music track.
-
Very powerful and moving video. Definitely a wonderful clip. This should be shown in every classroom world wide to show the progress of space travel. Hands up for me.
-
"And for those watching, get ready to witness the majesty and power of Discovery as she lifts off one final time". I get a lump in my throat every time I hear him say that.
-
this just makes me want to play Kerbal Space Program
-
I'm still really, really sad that the space shuttle has retired. I salute you both Discovery and Atlantis 😢
-
What a glorious program and great achievement for our nation. My father in law worked as a contractor for Honeywell who's team worked with several mission control sts missions. He's got an awful lot of shuttle mission patches somewhere.. his team wasn't involved in launch but control of several functions during orbit.. just unbelievable.
-
Absolutely breath taking. I can't begin to imagine what it must feel like to be sitting in that cockpit when they light it off.
-
One small step for man, one giant leap back for mankind.
-
Beautiful! Thank you God for bringing the crew and shuttle 'home' and Thank you for blessing the flight leaders and ground team while they were in orbit.
-
God bless all those who rode the shuttle
