New way to look at the shuttle launch, from the booster

Post by Azazal »

Not sure where to put ths one, it is news and science, but in a way it is art as well :? So I'm starting here and rolling the dice.

Anyway, this is footage of the July 4th launch taken from a camera mounted on the starboard booster of the shuttle, goes from launch to splash down and then sitting in the water (approx 12 minutes total run time). Kind of a cool new look at a launch.

Cool... thanks for that..
Sudden power is apt to be insolent, sudden liberty saucy; that behaves best which has grown gradually.

Very cool. Always love seeing these things from other views. Probably the closest I'll ever get. (minus seeing it launch live all the time, which is a treat every single time)
