Pro tip: Watch the clip with the audio off so you don't have to hear the guy in the background saying the same three phrases over and over again


But it's SO COOL!

Somebody get this guy a thesaurus, and be quick about it.


Holy smokes!

Spacecraft launches are much more impressive when viewed up close (2ish miles away) and in person. No video can do justice to the feeling of the wave of heat washing past you after ignition, or to the incredible sense of scale and speed involved.
