This is based on the audio recording of the NASA PAO and launch communication loop audio that was provided during the launch to the guests parked along the NASA Causeway, about 5 mile south of Pad 39A. The images are those I took, before and during the launch. The audio has been edited to reduce the "down time" during the countdown, so the whole thing is shorter than "real time."

Great audio of the launch sequence - probably the best I have heard of STS-1 - there arent many recordings like this available - really brings it to life - best it was something to see it go the first time. Thanks for posting it.

I've struggled for 30+ years to describe it! After watching Saturn V's for years on TV, to see the Shuttle stack make that roll maneuver, I thought for sure she was just standing in mid-air making that turn! It was that abrupt. After that roll, Columbia just left, straight up into the sky. Since there was so little wind that morning, the sound was intense. The car I was standing on to take the photos, and I, just vibrated from those sound-waves! The entire experience made us go back in June of 1982 to see Columbia make her fourth flight.
