Holy shit, that's an impressive rain of debris.

it goes up like a deathstar.

"We've just had an anomaly in our Delta Two." Some anomaly.

And that's why they launch over open water

Explosion? meh. Rain of fiery death? Woah!

why do these asswipes always have to edit in explosions for clips like this?

What a beautiful site.

Thou has no escape from the grasp of catastrophe!! Meteor Swarm!!!

Holy caca

Greatest firework ever.

FEEL THE WRATH OF THE GODS!

Somehow I doubt that was real radio chatter. Does launch control normally gush about the payload?

They actually do gush about the payload, for the benefit of the tv coverage

I love how chipper she sounds.

that sandwich you hid in your car? gone.

Five stars for someone putting airplane nose-jaws on a military-payloaded rocket, 0:03

There needs to be more of these in Florida.

The music sounds like Final Fantasy boss music.

The Covenant are coming.

RAIN DOWN YOUR HELLFIRE AND GPS PAYLOAD!

Way to provide yourself with employment. "Oops it blew up. Shucks, we'll have to build another one."

The launch control center is right next to the pad. The guys in it all survived because it's in a huge concrete dome of exactly the same design that resisted the 8th Air Force so well at...Peenemunde!
