HD Video – Space Shuttle Launch Seen From SRB


In the past, we haven’t posted about space flight and the shuttle program because it doesn’t really fit into the commercial and military aviation topic, which is the main focus of Flightstory. But, just recently, an extraordinary video came up that shows spectacular footage from the Space Shuttle launch from point of view of the Solid Rocket Booster (SRB) – like never before! This amazing footage definitely is a must-have-seen! The video titled “Riding the Boosters up and down in 400 Seconds” was compiled using footage from STS-117 and STS-127 and is part of the upcoming NASA documentary “Ascent: Commemorating Space Shuttle”, which will be available on DVD and BluRay.


What a 'VIEW'............
You have to watch the video, with "FullScreen".......!!!!




WATCH.....WITH 'FULL SCREEN' AND VOLUME UP!!!!



I hope you enjoyed.........and everyone have a 'Great' weekend............

AH!!! That photo of us! I am a little taken aback at how burnt I was...that amazing trip in the bayous certainly sizzled the skin.

Dammit, I miss you so much, Jules.

I can only hope you are still going to go through with the NFLD trip...to visit your homeland. I need my MissTWA fix.

Giulia said...

Oh Jules...I understand what you mean when you talk of being compelled.

Sometimes our soul urges us on journeys...yours is to go back home. And I'd be honoured to join you.

I've never been to the Rock...should be fun!

Nice photo you added of our New Orleans day trip. I still treasure my artisan mask. It reminds me of you and Linda. <3

Can't wait to see you again...hopefully this summer.

(And don't talk to me about snow...I've had enough! On the bright side, I've taken up snowboarding...just call me "shredder" lol)

getjets said...

kk........GG......NO More Talk of Snow............and frozen.......tundra......!!

Giulia said...

Isn't that moon just incredible? If you're on Twitter, you should really follow @Cmdr_Hadfield...he has been taking breathtaking photos while living on the ISS.

Sure makes you believe in something Greater than us...

Anyway, thank YOU, dear friend for posting this photo. I looooooooove that crazy moon. <3
