Drop whatever you're doing and watch this. NASA has released videos shot from onboard the Space Shuttle's Solid Rocket Boosters in the past, but you've never seen one prepared as masterfully as this.

For one thing, the footage was shot in high definition, so the image is exceptionally clear. But what puts this video head and shoulders above most other rocketcams is the sound. The audio has been remastered by the folks over at Skywalker Sound (yes, that Skywalker Sound), and the final product is nothing short of incredible.

Incredible, especially the segment as it breaks the sound barrier and all the compression vapor disappears.

PS; .....and Obama pissed it all away!

Awesome!!! Too bad we don't do that anymore.

"You can go from rocket's red glare down to 'brother can you spare'..." ~Some old Rush song that turned out to be prophetic.~

Wow! Thanks for sharing!

I couldn’t see it here so I found it on YouTube. Watch it in 720 and fullscreen if you can.

and Obama pissed it all away!
First things first - I despise 0bama. However, in the 30 years of the space shuttle program, WTF did we the taxpayer get for the billions and billions and billions of dollars NASA spent?
In my opinion, NASA long ago became just as useless as the Depts of Energy, Education, EPA, etc.
All of them (and many others) have become so politicized they're little more than tools for the pinko-commies to overthrow the Constitution.

“Between the Wheels”. Great song!

[EyeGuy]

Cmon.

That’s not nearly as exciting and awe-inspiring as seeing 300 lb racist, generational parasites checking out via EBT cards, with a stack of T-Bones and salmon fillets, at the local supermarket.

bump to view later!

Something tells me there is one HELL of an dB attenuator pad inline with those microphones ;)

I kept wondering what the camera was mounted on.

Right! That was it!

My LPs vanished when I moved about 15 years ago...haven't heard it since then.

Not giving anything away but there is one moment we all practically jumped outta our seats!
