Awesome Space Shuttle Time Lapse - Neatorama

This might very well be the coolest time-lapse video I've ever seen. Move over Koyaanisqatsi - you've got company from NASA!

Link via YouTube (thanks PhamPants for the tip!)

I happened to be listening to Devotchka's "The Winner Is" (http://listen.grooveshark.com/#/s/The+Winner+Is/2FNu5h) when I clicked 'Play' on this video (YouTube was muted) and the track synced up frighteningly well to the proceedings.

Also: WOW. I had no clue about all the work that went into just moving the shuttle.

Truly amazing what people can come up with to achieve a goal. The fisheye shot at the end was a nice touch to a wonderful video.

Bye bye shuttle... A true feat of engineering.

This video needs the benny hill theme to be added!

There are about 30 government workers standing around watching this thing throughout. Classic...

A lot of this is still too slow - accelerate the boring parts!

Fantastic! And was I the only one who was thinking when the shuttle transferred from horizontal to vertical, "Geez, don't drop it" ? LOL. It looked so graceful and dainty! Thanks

I love this! I've never seen how they get the shuttle all set up for launch before. Thank you!

I'm glad you posted this-- it got only 2 votes when I submitted it to the Upcoming Queue last week!:
