Excellent!!! Better than the others...just saw this today 5-21-22. Audio and visual top notch. One of the greatest songs ever, and hardly anybody that was born in the last few decades even knows about, or have heard it!!!!! Definitely sad!!
Agreed. And it shows the need to listen to whole albums, such Third Stage, as whole albums, with all the texture and variation that adds, or those poor souls are just missing out.
Well, here I am again 2 years later and it still gets me emotional. I have lived a long time. I remember the "Space Race" of the 1960's. I saw the Moon Landing and I still marvel at the concept of going to the Moon and back on less technology than in a wristwatch! I remember when the Space Shuttle began and the people of America sent NASA thousands of letters DEMANDING the first Shuttle be named the "Enterprise" after Star Trek. I watched all of the launches on TV and mourned the loss of life when Challenger blew up. I watched the last Shuttle land and my heart sank at the end of the era...I never got to go and actually see one blast off in person. Last of all...this song was a pivotal time in my last son's teen years as I got him his first car and we ritually would blast this song when I came to pick him up at school. We would go "cruising" and needed to "Cool the engines down or we can kiss it all away!"...such precious memories as he is out on his own and a father now, but in my heart he will always be speeding fast in our Thunderbird and Mustang with me and singing along with Boston. As I grew up, Space travel almost became common and we just expected it to last forever. Now, I see a generation that will never know the miracle of this golden time in history, and I am SAD. Sad they missed it, and Sad it will never be again like it was then. They have missed so much, and sadly, most of them don't care.
My dad worked for nasa and at one point there was a problem with communication but they decided to launch and fix the problem in orbit. They called my dad in because communication was his thing. I remember sitting in mission control hearing "Discovery you are go for OMS burn" there was so much excitement and it was the first time I was stunned to silence, a rare occurrence indeed.
The last launch of the 1st Moon Landing in August '69 produced 330,000 pounds of Thrust. This One has to be at least a Million pounds or so with that Shuttle attached. The rest is Boston like taking the Baton for the final stretch. They really did this one up!
Sometimes I’m reminded how grateful I am to have music like this in my life. Thanks. ❤😮😊
The absolute most beautiful thing when she lifts off and does the roll,majestic
I remember seeing Columbia go up it was just the legendary site
This is exactly what I imagined as visuals to go with "The Launch"
Beautiful!

Never gets old.
Without a doubt the BEST video of this song out there! It's the REAL rocket engines that LOUDLY overlap the song....GREATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!
I love the space shuttle forever and there will never be anything in my lifetime that ever compares to to it in any way
Thank you God for creating Tom Scholz !!!!!!!!

So sad where you att
Truth all it is.
Kids right the Boston or. Are tgere kids on other planet. Writing new music. Walk. Left. Walk right. One life to another
Delta-IV heavy & Falcon super-heavy always remind me of this song.
Oh man yes. My dad worked for NASA and i got to see a launch from inside the gate and this playing then would have ROCKED it!
I love the space shuttle forever
