If you are a space enthusiast, this is well worth 400 seconds of your time for the unique perspective it offers…like strapping a HERO Go Pro camera to a booster and getting it back.
From the upcoming Special Edition Ascent: Commemorating Space Shuttle DVD/BluRay by NASA/Glenn a movie from the point of view of the Solid Rocket Booster with sound mixing and enhancement done by the folks at Skywalker Sound. The sound is all from the camera microphones and not fake or replaced with foley artist sound. The Skywalker sound folks just helped bring it out and make it more audible.
WOW 🙂
Brilliant. Thank you for this.
A bit dizzying but not bad at all.
Just amazing! Thanks!
Thanks, Anthony.
Wow! Very nice piece of work. Riding along as it goes transonic is absolutely fantastic.
“when the solids light, you are going somewhere”
And we gave this up for “outreach” to make a certain hell bent for destruction group feel better about themselves….
How about NASA returns to space flight & defunds GISS? And throw in NCAR for good measure. Both worse than worthless wastes of hard-earned taxpayer dollars. Gavin can go back to Britain & Kevin to NZ to look for missing heat in the oceans around their island nations.
Awesome! Than you.

It might be more worthwhile to permanently send them both to White Island with camping gear so that they can keep us apprised of the situation there.
We’ll come get them if it gets bad… really!
The most amazing thing I noticed is that the two boosters tumble almost in sync. The other one went only about 1/4-turn out of phase during the entire time it was visible.
Wow!
SCIENCE GEEKS ARE SO WONDERFUL!!!
LOL, just think what would have happened if the same people who wrote the code for the global climate models wrote the software for all the modeling done for THAT flight.

“How about NASA returns to space flight & defunds GISS? ”
NASA does not fund GISS. GISS is their profit centre.

Your suggestion for a whacky Warmunisto camp out on Whakaari IMO calls for the art of Josh. Maybe Nobel Laureate Mann could join them diving the depths with thermometers. Think of the pain & anguish they’d feel at having to burn vegetation to stay warm in the austral winter. They’d have to stay there a long time to document all the heat going into the depths.
No engineers laid down their lives to make what we just saw happen. But, if getting the job done had required it, I have NO DOUBT that they would. To real engineers (or pilots) what matters most is seeing the task through, even if it is to the bitter end. You people are my HEROES.

You’re right of course. I should have called for Congress to defund GISS, which is what I meant. The administration is averse to budgeting, so it’s initially up to the House of Representatives, where the power of the purse is supposed to reside anyway.
The glory days of NASA. I saw the space shuttle go up from the Kennedy Space Center one year. I will never forget it. Sometimes I watch the launch sequence from the movie Apollo 13 because it gives me goosebumps. Seeing this makes me nostalgic and angry, look how far NASA has fallen. From visionaries who revolutionized spaceflight to myopic agenda driven leadership.
You better believe I will buy the Blu-Ray as soon as I can.
Delighted they didn’t find it necessary to put loud music on this as so enfuriatingly often happens these days.
Hi Anthony – Thanks for posting!
Roger Sr.
Here is that video that gives me goosebumps.
Alex Wade (at 6:25PM), me, too.
Thanks so much for sharing.

responding to this would be thread jacking, why is it here?
No wonder the illustrious folks who fly these things joined together to complain about NASA’s NGO-type new world order function.
