This footage is some of the coolest I have seen at the NASA.gov web site. This unaltered film and many like it are available to the public at NASA.gov. This video also contains the actual sound from the camera which is mounted on this of the two Solid Rocket Boosters. The second SRB is visible in several frames as the two of them are released from the ascending shuttle, then descend into the atmosphere, through the clouds, the chutes open, then finally splash into the ocean. Very cool, almost unreal seeming.
