I thought this was really neat. It's a missile shot from the beach at Wake Island in the Pacific, about halfway between Hawaii and Japan. Wake is a beautiful place, and this video is shot from the nose cone of the rocket looking down. The curvature of the Earth is visible in just under 2 minutes as the rocket accelerates out of the atmosphere. All set to kind of really nice music.  Bill T.

I don't know. It's this first time I've heard that song, but I sure do like it!  Bill t.
