Mom’s camera was rolling for the November 14th launch of the Space Shuttle Endeavour.  One interesting thing is that the sound from the launch doesn’t reach the them for over a minute into the video.  The sound heard in the beginning of the clip is the wind, and an audio broadcast of the launch.  I notice the rocket light at six seconds into the video, with the sound noticed by Mom (and the other people there) at around a minute sixteen seconds.

A quick calculation: (767.5/60)/60=0.213 miles per second, 70×0.213=….they were about 15 miles away.
