Okay... this is cool.  NASA released video of the launch, from the shuttle.

As cool as this is, and as flawless they have gotten these launches down to, as Sigmatic/Jasper said, I can't help but think of this comment by ND Tyson:

It is hugely disappointing, but I don't think it's reasonable to say that just because the US isn't going to go back, that humans never will.  NASA isn't the be-all end-all of space.
