How is it relevant in any way that this was filmed with an iPhone?
It's very relevant to getting enough attention to come on the front page and grab more votes.
A rocket carrying human beings going to space to live for a few days in zero gravity, viewed from an airplane carrying hundreds of humans 30,000 feet in the air, filmed on a camera that fits into your pocket. Do we need any more proof that human beings are incredible?
Or that fossil fuels are incredible...

Discovery doesn't use fossil fules. The main engines are powered by oxygen and hydrogen and the solid rocket boosters are made up of ammonium perchlorate, aluminum and iron oxide.
I can also guarantee you that fossil fuels were used in the production and distribution of the rocket boosters and that the airplane the video was taken from wouldn't be flying if it didn't have any jet fuel in it's tank.
Humans are smart creatures, but we shouldn't kid ourselves into thinking we would be where we are at now if it weren't for a cheap, albeit limited, supply of highly concentrated energy.

Hydrogen is a storage medium. Fossil fuels are used as the energy source to make the rocket propellant.

Ya I was watching the launch on tv, then stepped outside and you could see it from the other side of Florida, I've seen a launch up in close once, to bad I was really really sick to enjoy it.

And yet despite all this amazing intellectual capability we seem somehow unable to balance a government budget, year after year after year. Hmmmmmm....

By that logic, fossil fuel is a storage medium too. Solar energy was used as the energy source to make fossil fuel.
