    Video: Launch and Fall to Earth of Space Shuttle SRBs

    Cool video of a Shuttle Atlantis launch shot by a camera attached to one of the solid rocket boosters. It shows the launch, separation, and return to earth, all the way until they splash down in the ocean.

    Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.
    All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.
    I trust you are not in too much distress. —Captain Eric Moody, British Airways Flight 9

    that was awesome! especially the separation of the boosters from the shuttle...
    it is mathematically impossible for either hummingbirds, or helicopters to fly. fortunately, neither are aware of this.
