Space Shuttle Atlantis

If you have ever wondered what it looks like to be launched into space, check out this page. To view the super cool launch video, click on the "Video from Atlantis' Left Booster Rocket" and sit back and enjoy a really, really cool ride. They take you from launch, which is surprisingly fast, all the way through SRB jettison through splashdown of the SRB from the point of view of a camera mounted on the SRB itself. Keep in mind that when they jettison the boosters, they have passed through 200,000 feet MSL (Mean Sea Level.) That's over 37 miles in the air. This is seriously one of the coolest videos I've ever seen. I so love the work that NASA does. I don't know about y'all, but I want to fly on the Space Shuttle. That would be so freaking cool!
