Space Shuttle Solid Rocket Booster Medley

Space Shuttle - STS-121 had two cameras mounted on the solid rocket Boosters. The clip follows from launch to crashing into the ocean. Unbelievable stuff. This video is a mashup of both camera views along with a Brian Eno soundtrack that was aptly made for the Apollo space mission footage.

Is that the basic version of sony vegas, the platinum or the pro version?

[frequenc1]

vegas 6.0 I assume the basic version

[ftoduck]

I love the music choice. I am one of the 192 favorited :)

What did you use to mash up the two shots into one?

[frequenc1]

I did it in song vegas

I know I'm going to be in the minority here - the dual view is spectacular, but the music kills it for me. The natural sound recorded when these boosters fell is much more engaging

[frequenc1]

the footage I took it from didn't have any sound so I had to make due. probably would be good...

[folksprez]

This footage was out of this world.....and then it wasn't !

My dad worked for NASA for 33 years and I have never sen a video as cool as this. Thanks for sharing!!!

I think NASA missed a good opportunity to generate a little revenue from each shuttle launch, Imagine having a small capsule inside ,or even external on each booster, with windows, seat, and life support for 20 minutes, what space enthusiast would not want to ride along with the shuttle, at least until the boosters separated? What an awesome ride that would be, as seen here..... I imagine they could go for 1 million a ride? 5 mil? 10 mil? someone would want to do it !

@alijanlondon

I like the rattle-rattle sound when the boosters separate on another video somewhere -- makes it sound like you're really there strapped to the booster (a fun ride, I think!)

Just figure that it takes less than 10 minutes for the entire process to be complete, SRB, detachment, and re-entry, to the ocean.

All the music in this is Brian Eno. I first heard his music in the Movie For All Mankind.

Absolutely breathtaking!!! The music and vid both goes well, so beautifully done - one of my favourites. Simply love it. Am wondering if all the great on-flight cameras are available on dvd?

[nietzscheluv]

that is incredible stuff. the juxtaposition between the elegance of the takeoff music and the despair of the ultimate separation was excellent. good viewing, thanks for posting!

[robinbouwe]

It`s Beautifully!!!

I have a question: What is the name of the first music-track?
