On board view of a Space Shuttle SRB separation sequence

[FearNothingLoveAll]

Vertigo all the way. Love it!

[mrquizzler]

:o

[nenblom]

HANG ON!!

[AmunExorbis]

when descending... those 'lonely' epic sounds

wow

[MIGHTYWHITEY643]

it would be awsome to have passengers and i know its expensive to just make one launch but im sure they would get more than enough money from many people wanting to explore space.

[c11umw]

To space and back in 7 minutes ...

[powerade159]

whats the smoke at 5.04

[bluesrockfanatic]

Fuckin Trippy dude. I don't know if I would take that ride. I'd probably be dead doing that. Almost kinda makes me dizzy when I look at this.

[LittleSparkForJebus]

They should put passenger compartments in the nosecones of the SRB's and offer rides!

[LeonGibson]

that makes my belly go just watching that shit

[EnergyDog23]

Lol,  think what it would feel like to be inside the machine :D

[COUVELOMBARDA]

LOLLLLLLLLL! haha. nice answer.

[bandnerd564]

they could burn up in the atmosphere.

[punishedexistence]

It's cool how you can hear it falling into more and more dense air, plus seeing it enter the "sky". It must be actually quite peaceful in space.

[bus140808]

How the hell do they do this and avoid air traffic? I would shit myself if I was on a plane and then a dirty great rocket flew past my window!

[journeystarr]

Airspace is cleared prior to launch/separation of SRB's.

[bus140808]

My boyf would enjoy this vid.

[VreeFisions]

Don't you?

[OXFORDPODPOD]

It's in a ballistical orbit so floats around in space whilst still travelling foreward at

a hell of a speed, but eventually starts to sink in a vertical descent as it enters the finel part of it's ballistic orbit and starts crashing the atmosphere - notice smoke streams. At this point you can't see this but it's penetrating the atmosphere and descending vertically at a very rapid rate.

[WeirdGirlCyndi]

That was fun!

[mgabrysSF]

All that's missing is Major Kong going "WaaaaaHooooo".

[BUnitLives]

Can someone explain to me whats going on here near the end? Does a parachute open or something? The quality is so low it's hard for me to get anything to scale. Is that an island or something at 6:35? When does it actually hit the water, and what the fuck is going on after that? It's like it bounced out of the water and is floating afterwards.

[IngoGallacher]

5:37 parachute opens to reduce the impact speed with the ocean. (this rockets are can be used again). I think at 6:35 it is possible to see small waves, doit by a falling debris, the same like you can see at 7:10 made by SRB

;)

[1ERIC2YOU]

at the point that your are confused about, that is when the flying spaghetti monster came down to eat the rockets. We have to have the rockets to sacrifice to the spaghetti monster so he doesn't eat the shuttle.

[UraTsukiten]

lolwut

[IngoGallacher]

The best movie which i have seen from a SRB cam!

[grizadams07]

If you guys go to about the 4:05 minute mark you can see my house next to the white cloud

[intigfx]

dude, what a crappy paintjob

[grizadams07]

LOL.. yea i no we havnt painted in about 5 months

[kingRandom11]

lol ya i saw it!

[drsheikhjunior]

what??where??

[grizadams07]

Wouldnt that suck to go out of the aircraft to fix something and accidentally trip or something and you started drifting and floating away into deep space. I wonder how long you would last before you freezy or a space rock flies at you at 10000 miles an hour.LMFAO, oh man if you guys were high it would be pretty funny to think about

[SilentKiller91]

the whole turning and rolling stuff would get me dizzy

[ruckels]

You need to listen to space music while watching this: go to deepspacehome(dot)com and then watch this again!

[stuandbeck]

theirs no gravity you twollop! you wouldnt get dizzy!!!

[DAlessimo]

Yes, the bottom part is the orange main fuel tank being airborne into space. Notice how ice begin to form around the rifts-it's freezing out in space.

[discovery995]

was that the external tank?

it coudn't be!

unless it had radiator blades.

but what does it need them for?

[AriaParsa]

Holy crap the SRBs separates from space and slowly falls back to earth without breaking up in the athmosphere

[hardyr]

Well, the SRBs aren't going nearly as fast as the space shuttle's final speed, which is why they land not too far from Florida, instead of attaining orbit.

Keep in mind that they're technically not in space, but are at about 67 km at their highest point. The atmosphere becomes too thin for high-performance airplanes to fly at 100 km, and the highest parachute jump ever made was from about 30 km, for reference.

[commanderspiff]

Please understand that the 100 Km / 60 Nm barrier of "space" is just at technical definition..

When the SRB's are jetisonned, the atmosphere look pretty thin to me (i.e. black), but of course - they don't have nearly high enough velocity to burn.

Still, if you look at 3:35 to 4:00 you'll see significant off-gasing.

[jopakr]

That's Bush League! I could build that with my hands tied behind my back! How Dare they think they are better than me!!!

[flightlevel69]

i was completely mesmerized during the entire 7:38 of this video. Hya!! thanks for posting this and other of your great space shuttle videos!! the best!!

[jupitr2]

Great video! It's one thing to view the shuttle launch from the ground or see it on TV. But to see how the SRBs seperate as they are designed to and fall silently back to Earth is something really extraordinary to see. It's amazing where they can place this miniature video cameras. Thanks for the post!

[owen48]

was the last ~40 sec challenger breaking up? I

see many plumes and a sinking moton

[Nevamynde2]

wtf are you babbling about?

You see nothing like that at all. Watch it again this time with your eyes open.

sheesh...some people...just like to dribble shit

[SpaceDreamN]

Why do they allow pricks like you on here?? You are the one who has nothing better to do than babble crap towards others. Ya prick!!!

[drazen21]

wtf!?

[crbassassin]

wtf?

[matthew871]

What? it does. i just smelled it again

[bitza101]

wtf?

[hardflip46]

That was fantastic!

[6V92TA]

sweet! i wonder how many pounds them SRB's are

[Tazz77]

Awesome.

[zeturion]

Nice"

[calcmandan]

It had sound included! I didn't expect that. Thanks for posting this video.

[castro90]

i would do anything to go to space...its a dream of mine

[kingx989]

just hitch a ride w/ one of those srb's and take a cam so we can see too! lol

[Tono4649]

Great!!!!!
