So, I'm intrigued now. Not being able to see it of course, does anyone know
how close this person was, and I'd hope they were wearing ear defenders at
least.


Maybe they had a trap door to go down if something came their way!

Just imagine standing so close to the STS at launch time!



Yeah, I know there's a little bit of an optical illusion and the guy
isn't really standing next to the rocket, but even so it's extremely
close.


Even more interesting is an American flag mounted on a Russian rocket. I
wonder what launch that one was.
