SRB Separation & Re-entry video
Maybe this is old but it's the first time I've seen it and thought it was cool enough to share.  It's footage from a camera mounted on one of the solid rocket boosters used to launch the space shuttle into orbit.  Nothing really interesting happens for the first 1:45 of the video, until separation.  I like that they had a microphone set up as well... the sound of it reentering the atmosphere is especially eerie.

In my world of sleepers, everything will be erased.
I'll be your religion, your only endless ideal.
Slowly we crawl in the dark.
Swallowed by the seductive night.

Re: SRB Separation & Re-entry video
why it pays to leave the nasa channel on the tv. i know it sucks, but every once and awhile they show cool **** like this.
I can no longer sit back and allow communist infiltration, communist indoctrination, communist subversion, and the international communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.

Re: SRB Separation & Re-entry video
I remember seeing a hi-res quicktime version of this somewhere on the NASA page, and there's also another video of a camera looking down on the SRB where you see more during liftoff.  I'm too lazy to look for it right now, but it's definitely worth watching.
