STS-121 Solid Booster Rocket Video

NASA have posted a video from one of the solid booster rockets from the recently launched shuttle. What's cool about this video is that it shows the rocket detaching from the shuttle and dropping into the ocean. Amazingly the camera survived the impact and continued filming.

McP.

That was really cool! Except the part where it detached and started tumbling. I highly recommend dramamine for that part if you haven't watched it yet.

Wow!
Imagine that in IMAX or a VR ride.

Awsome vid I liked the splash down Definatly recomend people watch this.

Very cool link!

two thumbs up

Almost like being a stowaway, hangin' on the booster.

Thanks for finding it, and sharing it.

Wow that was really cool and that would be awesome to see in IMAX quality. I'm sure lots of people would get motion sickness though

That’s an amazing video! There was a picture from what must have been that camera of the shuttle with just the liquid fuel tank which is an image I have never seen before

Heh, heh, heh! Too cool! Heh, heh, heh! Really too cool! Heh, heh,heh!

Loved it! Heh, heh, heh!

Thanks for the link! Heh, heh, heh!

Gotta go and watch it again! Heh, heh, heh!

I just noticed there were two videos. The 2nd one, "Right Aft Solid Rocket Booster Video" is really neat. Especially the view of the shuttle when the SRB breaks away. You can also see the smoke trail from the launch in the distance and certain times while the rocket is spinning and falling. Good stuff.

amazing video... loved ever second of it!!!
thanks alot for sharing this

It is a very interesting view watching the booster come all the way down to earth. The fleeting seconds after separation from the shuttle before it starts tumbling are incredible, almost seemed unreal seeing the shuttle like that.
