  • Shuttle mid-deck camera view of STS-95 launch with John Glenn, with synchronized tracking footage. Engine start, SRB separation and MECO are visible on the mid-deck camera. Crew comments are on the right sound channel, with mission commentary on the left at a lower volume.
    AI upscale (Topaz AI) was used for video cleanup and upscale. While it works in most cases, some artifacts are present in some sequences.

    ========================================
    STS-95 was a Space Shuttle mission launched from Kennedy Space Center, Florida on 29 October 1998, using the orbiter Discovery. It was a highly publicized mission due to former Project Mercury astronaut and United States Senator John H. Glenn Jr.'s return to space for his second space flight. At age 77, Glenn became the oldest person to reach Earth orbit.

      They probably only put a camera down there because of John Glenn. Still, it's nice to see this angle.

    John Glenn!
    Chiaki Mukai was also on board.
    As a doctor, she showed us how her face, which looks square on the ground, becomes rounder at 0G.

    I watched this one in school after me and a friend convinced the teacher of its significance. He was old enough to have watched launches in the 1960s, so we got to see this on live TV.

    Stephen here closest to the camera installed Cupola on STS-130 and was on the return to flight STS-114, becoming the first to perform a repair in flight to Discovery and one of the first selfies too.

    I remember watching this launch live on T.V. I could be wrong, but i bet NASA was quite nervous. This could have been the most publicity surrounding a launch with multiple networks airing it since the Challenger tragedy.

      @adamfestor7512 Před 2 měsíci +4

      Actually I think it might have been more of a G-load on the Atlas. Atlas was an ICBM and more of a sports car. Apollo and STS were a little more of an old man's ride as they were meant for crewed flight.

    Even if it's John Glenn, PS/2 has to fly mid-deck. I'm sure the commander of _Friendship 7_ had no problem with mission rules.

      Well.. if you consider how many years it was before his last flight, and being cramped in that Mercury capsule with not much room to move.. Makes sense. Frank Borman got sick often on his flights.

      Considering that Sen. Jake Garn had space sickness that was off the charts, I believe that.
      Check out Jake Garn's space sickness on STS-51D. That is the stuff of legends, and that was the reason why the "Garn Scale" was invented by a NASA doctor.
