What the Space Shuttle booster saw

http://kottke.org/12/03/what-the-space-shuttle-booster-saw

You've likely seen other videos taken from cameras attached to the Space Shuttle and its boosters, but this is one is exceptional in two regards: it's in HD and the sound has been remastered by Skywalker Sound.

Watch, and more importantly, listen to the whole thing...at the very end, you can see the second booster land a few hundred yards away from the first one. Who knew that being in space sounds like being trapped with a whale underwater


Neat! Be sure and watch it in Full Screen.
