Aerial views of the Shenzhou-17 manned spaceship launch

China launched the Shenzhou-17 manned spaceship at 11:14 a.m. (Beijing Time) on Thursday! Check out the amazing footage captured by a drone near the launch center in northwest China.

Similar camera angle to that relatively recent North-Korean missle test launch, however here it is done correctly, as in the North Korean one the rocket nearly hit the drone.

What a magnificent view indeed! Majestic and awe-inspiring to say the least.

Feels like an unnecessary risk to have a drone hovering above a rocket for any length of time, especially one loaded with fuel and with people aboard.

Also that music choice is terrible.
