If you like this video take a look at this one, it's a similar cut of HD footage from STS-128 with Space Shuttle Discovery https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qOWbt52-VpQ

I was able to see the Endeavor fly over my apartment on a 747 before being put in the museum. It was jaw dropping! Such a great ship!
-
It may have been overpriced, dangerous and otherwise flawed but it is one of the coolest thing ever build by humanity.
-
I'm just amazed all the engineering behind this stuff is amazing.
-
The wingtip vortices when she lands!!! Absolutely incredible. I miss the shuttle, the most beautiful flying machine ever built. Absolutely gorgeous footage here, that HD cam was a real joy to behold.
-
I was fortunate enough to see one of the shuttles (can't remember which one) launched in 1983. I was just absolutely amazed at the shuttles. Such a beautiful thing and got to see only one land.
-
That is probably the smoothest Shuttle landing I have ever see. Holding the nose wheel off for a extended time and gently setting it down was the cherry on top.
-
So glad I grew up while the shuttle program was still active (I was born in '96), I remember watching them launch with my mom and her holding my hand as tightly as possible she like so many others remembers the Challenger and Columbia disasters
-
I find it more amazing how a jetliner can fly with the shuttle on it's back.
-
So, for the gazillion people who were on the support crews for all of the STS missions, congratulations for an incredible and flawless efforts that you put in, day in and day out! You all helped to make important history!!! Thank you for allowing us regular every day people to see this! I was especially impressed at the beautiful landing that was made, and I highly admired the pilot and crew in executing such a beautiful "grease it in" landing on such a huge, (difficult to maneuver) machine. It was the delicious "Icing" on the incredible "Cake"; and most important, you all made it home alive and safe! What a historical event!
-
I am still amazed that humans can build machines like this.
-
The space shuttle and the jumbo jet. Two amazing machines doing the best that they were built for!
-
Not only amazing those who designed/built it but equally amazing is the pilot who landed it back on earth !
-
At 19:30 I believe that is showing one of the 3 mounting brackets used to mount the shuttle to the 747. Thank You for posting this amazing footage of a fantastic aircraft and crew
-
I never get tired of watching these marvels the human men has achieved.
-
That 747 is amazing. Can't think of a more iconic aircraft.
-
"Endeavour" you have been a loooong way...Thanks so much for sharing your safe return with us
-
Leaving earth in roaring thunder, coming back in a swoosh. What a machine 👍
-
I'm impressed by the person panning/tracking this on landing. So precise!!! Well done!!
-
I get chills from the B747 as much as I do with the shuttle. This is amazing footage.
