    First Ever NASA Video Showing Recovery of Space Shuttle Solid Rocket Boosters


    I would have liked some explanation about exactly what they were doing, but it's still pretty cool to see how they capture the SRBs and drag them back to shore.
    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

    from the looks of it air is being pumped into the SRB to float it. was cool to hear the sonic boom as the boosters FELL.
    it is mathematically impossible for either hummingbirds, or helicopters to fly. fortunately, neither are aware of this.
