We're not sure how we missed this when it came out last year, but this incredible video shows all 135 launches of the space shuttle program at once. Creator

calls it "The Grand Finale" and rightly so. A great display of "fireworks" and a wonderful homage to the legacy of the space shuttles.

The one launch failure, Challenger on STS-51-L does stand out in this video and the words "obviously a major malfunction" will always linger. But the drive to keep striving for the heavens will always be there.
