love it! would be cool if there was a date / mission # counter going in one of the corners. And some heavy-booster landings! :D

That moment of silence was a good touch

[mobius]

When the Falcon 9 starts spamming off the pad.

Columbia and Challenger

R.I.P

SpaceX: *I'm Speed*

We need ESA and Soviet + Roskosmos Launches next.

At 1:26, you can see that the STS almost got routine flights, before Challenger mismanagement bring it down (1984-1985)

It would be interesting to see a comparison with the Baikonur Cosmodrome where the Russians launches all their stuff.

cant wait to see this video updated in about 10 years when the industry REALLY gets going

[TNTHammer]

When you thought the space shuttle had a fast launch rhythm after the Apollo program
SpaceX: I'm about to do a pro gamer move 3:33

[vibrolax]

Loved it! It would have been trippy to see all the Saturn V's and STS's rolling out from the VAB to the pads like rush hour traffic.

[PaddyPatrone]

should have includet a timer with years and dates counting up to today

For those who are wondering what the two black outs in the middle means, it means the few-year long stops of the shuttle program.
The first one's for the stop after the STS-51-L, aka the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster, and the second one 's for the stop after the STS-107, aka the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster

[garyadels]

In case somebody didn't do it yet. I calculated this video to cover 90 days in each second (1 year every 4 seconds), for the launches between 9 Nov 1967 (Apollo 4) and 25 Jun 2019 (SpaceX Falcon Heavy - USAF Space Test Program Flight 2 (STP-2))

[philb]

If this was done for the entirety of Cape Canaveral...
Oh man I don't think the world could handle it

[Sir_Uncle_Ned]

Great work. Seeing the shuttle launches come in bursts really shows how much refurbishment was needed

[conqure_panda]

When it turns night a disaster happen witch was Columbia and challenger cause the shuttle was grounded 1:32 challenger 2:42 Columbia

[LordZarano]

"because THAT challenge is one we are willing to accept"
chilling. so glad they avoided nuclear war.
love the video.

[mgsee]

I had no idea there were that many Shuttle flights. Amazing!

1:23 when your launchpad goes full auto

[kpv]

Nice but one thing is missing, PAD 39B got it 3 lighting protection towers before the launch of Ares I-X.

[docnathan]

If there was a continuation, we would see the Starship and SLS. If they ever launch here.
