On this day in 1990 - Space Shuttle Discovery launched on STS-31, placing the Hubble Space Telescope into orbit. Flights to Hubble were the highest altitudes reached by the Space Shuttle, with a mean altitude of about 350 statute miles, roughly 100 miles higher than the International Space Station and Mir. 

The video itself is taken from the official NASA broadcast of the launch, upscaled through an AI protocol, and married to a custom composite audio track, constructed from recordings of the launches of STS-117, STS-133, and STS-134.
