What do SRBs do all day?

[gridlore]

Somebody at NASA has remembered that space flight is cool, and even cooler when we see it up close. Discovery had a camera mounted on the right SRB for this launch. The resulting 12 minute video follows the entire "career" of the SRB from launch, to separation, to splashdown. Amazing.

One suggestion for the NASA boys.. next time include a microphone.

Insert deafening roar a few moments after the water starts. :) Then go to deep silence after the engines cut off. That should simulate it well enough.

Video is nice though a bit boring once the tank just starts tumbling toward earth.
