- Shuttle mid-deck camera view of STS-95 launch with John Glenn, with synchronized tracking footage. Engine start, SRB separation and MECO are visible on the mid-deck camera. Crew comments are on the right sound channel, with mission commentary on the left at a lower volume.
AI upscale (Topaz AI) was used for video cleanup and upscale. While it works in most cases, some artifacts are present in some sequences.

========================================
STS-95 was a Space Shuttle mission launched from Kennedy Space Center, Florida on 29 October 1998, using the orbiter Discovery. It was a highly publicized mission due to former Project Mercury astronaut and United States Senator John H. Glenn Jr.'s return to space for his second space flight. At age 77, Glenn became the oldest person to reach Earth orbit.

I'm glad John Glenn got to go up one last time.
This is the first time I’ve seen a Mid Deck view of a shuttle launch. Such a treat, especially when it’s of John Glenn’s return to orbit! Thanks!!!
They probably only put a camera down there because of John Glenn. Still, it's nice to see this angle.
Yeah me too. Sadly it makes me think did the Challenger Astronauts down there in the mid deck know in those few seconds what was happening ?
John Glenn is the NIST standard for the right stuff 💯
I ran across the street from work to a Target Store and went to the electronics section and watched this launch on one of the televisions there. I couldn't miss this. BTW, it wasn't even lunch break, I could have gotten into so much trouble. 😊
Godspeed John Glenn, You Made Our Life Better For Space And Humanity.
John Glenn!
Chiaki Mukai was also on board.
As a doctor, she showed us how her face, which looks square on the ground, becomes rounder at 0G.
I watched this one in school after me and a friend convinced the teacher of its significance. He was old enough to have watched launches in the 1960s, so we got to see this on live TV.
Stephen here closest to the camera installed Cupola on STS-130 and was on the return to flight STS-114, becoming the first to perform a repair in flight to Discovery and one of the first selfies too.
That’s a smooth ride!
Retro Space HD, thank you very much for this amazing video. Hail STS-95, Hail Space Shuttle Program ❤
Smiling all the way. Yup. That's how I would be.
I remember watching this launch live on T.V. I could be wrong, but i bet NASA was quite nervous. This could have been the most publicity surrounding a launch with multiple networks airing it since the Challenger tragedy.
Wonder how that compared to a Mercury capsule launched atop an Atlas booster?
Actually I think it might have been more of a G-load on the Atlas. Atlas was an ICBM and more of a sports car. Apollo and STS were a little more of an old man's ride as they were meant for crewed flight.
@@adamfestor7512 Some said Apollo was more of an old mans ride, where STS was more like a runaway train. It jumped off the pad, and then shook and rattled all the way until SRB sep.
@@adamfestor7512Yeah, that's about what I figured.
John Glenn is an American legend his first flight was famous because USA became the second country to orbit the Earth compared to Mercury the Space Shuttle had lots of room where as Mercury was cramped
Somebody said, you don't get into a Mercury capsule, you put it on.
Even if it's John Glenn, PS/2 has to fly mid-deck. I'm sure the commander of _Friendship 7_ had no problem with mission rules.
Same with Deke Slayton on ASTP. He thought he should have been assigned the Commander's slot over Tom Stafford but was overruled by NASA brass. Stafford had three space missions under his belt.
@@jogman262 NASA had trouble with one rookie commander on just the mission prior to ASTP. They were playing it safe with Stafford. ASTP Apollo was the most Soviet-type American crew ever!
What fell off the tail at about 20 seconds in? Did that affect the mission?
Drag chute door. No effect on the mission.
Ive read somewhere that Glenn had to fight off a bit of space sickness on this trip once they got into orbit. This can supposedly happen to anyone
Well.. if you consider how many years it was before his last flight, and being cramped in that Mercury capsule with not much room to move.. Makes sense. Frank Borman got sick often on his flights.
@@Nighthawk268One thing about the Mercury spacecraft was that an astronaut had to be inserted into the spacecraft with a shoehorn and extracted from the spacecraft with a can opener.
Considering that Sen. Jake Garn had space sickness that was off the charts, I believe that.
Check out Jake Garn's space sickness on STS-51D. That is the stuff of legends, and that was the reason why the "Garn Scale" was invented by a NASA doctor.
I'm always wondering why John Glenn didn't fly on Gemini and Apollo
JFK had something to do with it.
He was classed as a national treasure and thus deemed too valuable to lose in space. That's why he was ushered into working for the government.
The same reason Neil Armstrong didn't go back into space. National Treasure.
@@jsldjJohn Young played NASA so very, very well.
Why is this making me tear up. 🥲
