I mute most Youtube/Break/misc. videos as soon as they load. It's either really loud, bad music, or else some moron talking about what is already plainly visible on the video.


Video of a cat playing with a string: Either with shitty "music" of some guy screaming about some stupid fact of life, or else, "And here's my widdle kiddy pwaying wif a stwing! Awwww!"

 
Look at it go, man! Do you see it? Do you see it? Holy smokes. That is so cool. Look how fast it goes up. Can you see it? Look at it. Holy smokes. That is so cool. Look at it. That is so cool. Holy shit. See how fast it's going? Holy shit. Look how fast it's going! Oh my God.

I wish I could mute those Americas funniest home videos. Whoever films their kid getting hit in the nutts or their babies dragged around by a bear without dropping the camrea should be shot dead and not rewarded. "Awww look at the baby playing with the big bear!"
 
Awesomeness. I wonder why they haven't had footage like this using high powered high quality antishake cameras. Would make a great video in HD. (as opposed to the usual ground shots)
 
I love watching night launches in my backyard. Lights up the entire night sky and you can see the glow of the solid rocket boosters when they detach from the shuttle and fall away

That's a pretty neat vantage point of the shuttle, but I don't think I've ever seen a better one that this.

Quite awesome!

My favorite images are the shuttle in space taken outside of the shuttle.
The one main reason I love the ISS is because the crew can snap away some awesome high res pics everytime it comes in to dock.
Even the shots taken from the ISS while the shuttle is docked to it gives me goosebumps.

Pure Awesomeness!!!!!
 
I find it amazing that the main engines produce more thrust than the SRB's (I can't remember where I read that).

Other than that...
