STS 109 - Home Video Of Space Shuttle Columbia's Rare Night Launch
Recorded in Titusville, FL approximately eleven miles away from the launch pad, this shows the launch from the closest view point possible outside of Cape Canaveral.
This was the second to last launch of Columbia and was to upgrade and service the Hubble telescope. In the ten days they were in orbit they traveled 3.9 million miles and circled the Earth 165 times.

Maybe the most beautiful video I've seen. Can't imagine seeing it in person.

It's awe inspiring, honestly. I went to see one in 2001 and launch was at 5am. One of the most beautiful things ever. Definetly something you should do in your lifetime.

I was thinking that's caused by the rocket booster itself untill the shuttle moved away from the sun.
Nice.
