WATCH THIS [VIDEO]: NASA's 135 Space Shuttle launches played simultaneously

[mmadhankumar]

The mesmorizing clip below, presents all 135 NASA's shuttle launches at once. Bookended by STS-1 (1981) and last year's STS-135, it's among the best homages to United States space exploration that we've come across. Sadly, it would be impossible to piece together such a project without including some tragic moments. Those include the Challenger disaster (visible in the 25th frame) and the ill-fated takeoff of 2003's STS-107, which would ultimately result in the loss of Space Shuttle Columbia and its crew. Still, the success and memories that resulted from the vast majority of flights here will be a source of wonderment for generations to come.
