Hi all,

Here is a movie of the shuttle external tank below the shuttle and heading towards the Earth.

Not bad.

What's even more impressive is the SRB videos - it usually takes awhile for them to be posted since they have to fish those out of the Atlantic first to recover the tapes.

The first one below shows the SRBs from STS-119 right before they are jettisoned to when they splash down in the Atlantic. With the audio, you get a clear impression of the atmosphere's changing density - make sure your speakers aren't up too high a level, cause it's kinda scary sounding.

From STS-119:
