It seems to me that if they would have played this type of video on the nightly newscasts NASA's funding might not have gotten the ax.

NASA was a product of the cold war, it was created as another thing to try and beat the Russians at. Once the cold war ended, NASA was no longer a priority in the government's eyes. I'm surprised their funding didn't get axed a long time ago.

All those 9 mins I was waiting to see the Sun from the orbit but only got booster's closeups and surface of the Earth. lol

That was nice to see.I wish we had advanced space ships that could explore the space by now.

I didn't notice that first time i watched it

I thought it was the space shuttle "hitting" the edge of space...

[Feänor]

Wow. Now THAT is impressive! Thanks for sharing!

 

[qubit]

Wow, I watched it all, with a slightly slack jaw...

Here's another one, where they recover the large solid rocket booster. These are the background ops one normally never sees - the unsung heroes of space shuttle launches.

Yeah! who said that you can't hear a thing in space?

 

[qubit]

Yeah! who said that you can't hear a thing in space?

Indeed you can't. You can't transmit sound through the void between two objects. However, you will hear the creaks and growns that an object makes which is placed in direct contact with the microphone.

For example, if the radio link between two astronaughts failed, then they could touch helmets and hear each other that way. It would be a bit muffled, of course.

Yeah! i knew it must been something like that the camera inside the object while recording true a window , anyhow looks like you miss my smilie

Ive always wondered, how do they know where to drop the boosters so they don fall in the middle of a city and kill someone?

Launch location and trajectory. Plus, they make sure that the waters in a wide area are free of ships and boats during a launch.
