Oh MAN! That is outrageously COOL!!!
I love the horizontal blast off and then banking the turn (rotation).
Reminds me of another sharknosed creature that loves to crank the bank!
The other day when Atlantis was nearing the Space Station, I caught the vid where they were rotating vertically from being belly up tail forward, then the nose rotating forward to head nose first for docking.
So it showed the earth, dark space, then slowly the Station shows up in the bottom of the viewing window (the sun glaring off the solar panels and structure) as the nose is levelling off, until in full view straight ahead.
It was like watching the sun rise up from the horizon but it was the Station 'rising' in the window. It was great!
