"We shall individually be held responsible for doing one jot less than we have ability to do...But when we give ourselves wholly to God, and in our work follow His directions, He makes Himself responsible for its accomplishment. He would not have us conjecture as to the success of our honest endeavors. Not once should we even think of failure. We are to cooperate with One who knows no failure." ~Messages to Young People, p. 309

Remembering Endeavour & Her Final Grasp for the Heavens



Just when we all are getting sad about Endeavour returning home for the final time this week, out pops this video, helping us remember something equally spectacular that occurred just two weeks ago: Endeavour's final launch.

Most of NASA's videos are good, but a select few are spectacular. This video is spectacular. I was almost too scared to watch it--it's thirteen minutes. But it was awesome. This is a must-watch video! It's called "STS-134 Ascent Highlights", but it's so much more than that.

This video covers the building and history of Endeavour, and her final launch. But unlike other launch videos you may have seen, this video is much more. Beyond just one view of the skyward-rocketing shuttle, this video displays in beautiful slow motion all the different views from various cameras of the launch. The special effects and soundtrack are truly out-of-this-world! In addition to following the shuttle, this video also showcases the journey of the External Tank and the two white Solid Rocket Boosters.

In other words, this is the best video I have ever seen NASA put out. Come to my blog. Watch it!
