What do SRBs do all day?

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.

Mike won't do a lot of good. The sound level once the engine ignites is some insane number of decibels. Any mike that can handle that, won't be sensitive enough to pick up much of anything once the engine cuts off.
