Space Shuttle Discovery’s Last Launch, Viewed From Airplane [VIDEO]

Talk about being at the “right place at the right time”. Most of us have seen shuttle launches on TV or video, but imagine the delight of airline passengers when suddenly the Space Shuttle Discovery appeared, beginning its final voyage into space late Thursday afternoon.

This video was shot by software developer Neil Monday aboard his flight from Orlando, which was running late, but that’s a good thing — he and his fellow passengers were soon presented with this unbelievable moment of amazement.

I don’t know about you, but I don’t think many people can say they have seen the space shuttle launch from the air.
