That pilot has a mean sense of humor! At 20 second mark he says
"if you're on the right side of the aircraft, you can see the space shuttle, and if you're on the left side of the aircraft, you can probably see people on the right side of the aircraft looking at the space shuttle"
"if you're on the right side of the aircraft, you can see the space shuttle, and if you're on the left side of the aircraft, you can probably see people on the right side of the aircraft looking at the space shuttle"
that was great 
NASA has some cool stuff and that video was a cool perspective of its flight.
Road and Track has an article on the Endeavour...some unnecessary facts
