A Day in the Life of an SRB

NASA has this cool video up that is taken from a camera mounted on one of the space shuttle's solid rocket boosters. The video is long (about 12 minutes) but is very neat. Liftoff occurs about 50 seconds into the clip and booster separation occurs at around the 3 minute mark. Next is a long segment of the booster cartwheeling through the sky on its journey to the ocean. The parachute deploys at about the 7:20 mark and touchdown is at 7:33. After that it seems to be just floating in the water. Good job NASA!
