Hubble is let go, and NASA puts out some new must see video from the Solid Rocket Boosters.
Absolutely astonishingly staggering awesome video of the launch, separation, fallback and splashdown.
video shot from one of the Solid Rocket Boosters, during launch up to and including drop off and splashdown!
The last few seconds are dizzying.
Watch all of it, it is worth it, trust me!
These videos from the NASAtelevision channel on youtube are amazing.

I think I just spent too much time watching that....
What Steinn neglects to mention is that the video is long because you see the same events from different cameras. The first seven minutes goes from lift-off to splashdown. Then you see a new view.
The second camera view, starting at 7:15 or so, is cool because there is sound. Fortunately they do not turn it on until 100 seconds into the flight....
I am told that STS-119 and STS-126 SRB footage is also on NASAtelevision channel
but as separate short clips, not mashed into continuous footage
That was absolutely brilliant! I thought watching it live through NASA TV was good, but it's amazing to see it from launch to the splash.
I was wondering what that weird linear shadow was on the downward facing cameras, and then I realized that it was the exhaust cloud projected onto the cloud deck.

What do the SRB's eject into the water just before they splash down???
THANK YOU NASA!!!
ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE VIDEOS!!!
WELL DONE!!!
Amazing video's.
Love the moon-set behind the Hubble antenna at about 4:00.
