Ride a Shuttle Booster to the Edge of Space and Back

We've posted space shuttle launch videos in the past, but this one is different. It's a video captured from cameras on board the space shuttle's booster engines as it blasts off. You go from launch to the point that the boosters separate from the orbiter and continue their journey back to splash down.

The video is great, and edited nicely, but

the sound is amazing

. It was remixed and edited by the good folks at

Skywalker Sound

as part of the upcoming DVD called Special Edition Ascent: Commemorating Space Shuttle.

Thanks to

Michael Interbartolo for the tip
