The Space Shuttle! It Goes to Space!

Wow! It's awfully easy to be blasé about the fact that we can pretty consistently put a whole bunch of people and machinery into space. I mean, the word "space" isn't even that long. So how big a deal is it really?

Here's a video of the Space Shuttle's latest takeoff.

Um... pretty rediculous. Honestly. NASA, you're blowing my mind right now.

Apparently they added a bunch of cameras to watch for foam (see, the biggest problem going into space is falling foam. Foam? Foam's not dangerous!). And this is the footage from one of the booster rockets.
