Riding the Booster with enhanced sound

From the upcoming Special Edition Ascent: Commemorating Space Shuttle DVD/BluRay by NASA/Glenn a movie from the point of view of the Solid Rocket Booster with sound mixing and enhancement done by the folks at Skywalker Sound. The sound is all from the camera microphones and not fake or replaced with foley artist sound. The Skywalker sound folks just helped bring it out and make it more audible.

At 5:04 if you pause it you can see a pillar of smoke. Is that where the shuttle was launched from?

[michael interbartolo]

yes that is the launch site and exhaust trail.

Wouldn't the falling object pick up speed after hitting the atmosphere? Or am I just simply remembering incorrectly?

[michael interbartolo]

yes until you reach terminal velocity.

Hey Michael, the annotation at 8:00 says "the other SRB coming down". But that's not an SRB. There's only one parachute, not three. That's the nose cone/frustum descending under its single chute.

Do a google image search for 5-rh-srb-frustum-re-entry.jpg

I hope that part that fall into the water didn't hit a Dolphin or other animal...
