Interesting video shot from a (late) early morning flight out of Orlando - whose aircraft is not clear - showing the first couple of minutes of the space shuttle discovery's flight

Interesting to see how quickly it cants over from the vertical - a perspective you don't get from the ground.

Hmmm, final space shuttle mission is scheduled for 28 June while I will be over in the US... wonder if it would be worth popping down to Cape Canaveral to watch it??? if NASA don't postpone the missions as often happens....
