You are considered in space at 62 miles or roughly 330,000 ft. So when the tank falls off at about 375, 000 or so the orbiter is close to earth orbit velocity of 17500mph. Just a comment guys, please dont kill me on these figures.....

I don't think I could pronounce how much exactly this thing would cost if it were for sale. Every little piece of it is worth thousands of dollars. Just the wing itself would probably run as much as 10 Ferraris

Yes, the solid rocket boosters parachute into the ocean, are towed back to shore by a boats, refurbished, and readied for another launch.
