STS-41-B (STS-11) with Narration

(Note on mission numbering: this would have been STS-11 (STS-10 was cancelled) but a new mission numbering scheme was adopted -- first digit is fiscal year offset (4=1984), second digit is launch site (1=KSC), letter represents launch order (B=2nd launch). This numbering scheme ended with the destruction of Challenger.)

I really like how Dick Truly tells the audience to lean their heads onto their left shoulders, then says "You know you all look super with your heads lying on your shoulders like that," to laughter from the crowd.
