Splash Down!
Go along for the ride on the Space Shuttle's Solid Rocket Booster. Real video and audio of a launch, ride up 28 miles, jettison the SRBs, then the fall back into the ocean. Awesome, man....

Very cool. Thanks for sharing it.
I really like this video, too. It shows the "nod" that shuttles would do after main engine ignition. The SRBs only fire after it comes back to vertical:

Interesting to watch the shuttle flexing before and as it’s launching.

Amazing. I liked the metal groaning and frozen bits hitting it like hailstones up there at its apex.
I'd also assume that the slashdown area is off limits to fishermen, sailboats, etc. It'd be a bad day if those things came down on your head. |

![]() Really impressive to watch. How far did that guy Frank Baumgartner fall from the hot air balloon? 2,000 MPH in 90 seconds and 3,000 MPH at 2 minutes. That's really cooking!
