Hi all,
I think we need a space exploration forum! There is nowhere to post something like this.
NASA has released several videos of the latest shuttle launch made from cameras attached to the solid rocket boosters.
On the rear-pointing ones you can see the shuttle shake and flex once the main engines are started before liftoff, then watch the ground falling away. After seperation, you can feel the booster tumbling until the parachute opens and then watch the landing in the ocean. The motion towards the water is fantastic and near splashdown, you can see the shadow on the water.
On the forward-pointing cameras you can see the shuttle breaking the sound barrier, then at seperation you can breifly see the shuttle moving away. After splashdaow, these cameras are underwater and the scene is quite erie.
Amazing footage! Enjoy!
