That pilot has a mean sense of humor! At 20 second mark he says
"if you're on the right side of the aircraft, you can see the space shuttle, and if you're on the left side of the aircraft, you can probably see people on the right side of the aircraft looking at the space shuttle" :rofl:

NASA has some cool stuff and that video was a cool perspective of its flight.

Road and Track has an article on the Endeavour...some unnecessary facts
3 main engines (12.3 million hp @ 394,000 lbf), 30 year warranty / 103 million miles, main engine fuel nitrogen textrodixe & hydrazine, 1000 gal / sec consumption, 34 ply tires 258 mph rating...at launch they burn 8800 lb fuel per second...price as tested $2,236,000,000
