the penguin told me to do it.

final shuttle launch from the booster

See the final Space Shuttle launch from a totally different perspective: a camera strapped to the solid rocket boosters. Makes the Camera on a Firework video look like child’s play.

It gets especially good at ~2:21 when the solid rocket boosters separate and the camera flips around to see the atmosphere and low orbit. Stunning stuff.

Check out 28:03 in as well. There are so many cameras mounted on the Shuttle.
