The movie is a little long, but this the first-ever up close, high-definition video of Kennedy Space Center’s Final Inspection Team walkdown in the final hours before a space shuttle launch. The footage was shot on May 14 at Kennedy’s Launch Pad 39A during the countdown for shuttle Atlantis’ STS-132 mission.
