Atmospherix

This video was taken by a camera attached to the side of one of the Space Shuttle’s boosters as it detaches and falls back through the atmosphere to Earth. It’s completely mesmerising, and completely surprising. I didn’t expect the noises, the hypnotic rotation, and the apparent smoothness of the ride. Watch right through to the end, it’s worth every second.

    Hi

    I am fascinated by this video, to be able to see the whole thing from detachment to splashdown. Now of course I have a thousand questions about the whole thing!! I am so taken with it I have “taken” it to put in the Soup of the Day on my blog. I hope this meets your approval and I’m sure you’ll tell me if it doesn’t.
