Shuttle launch
« on: May 31, 2011, 09:46:53 PM »
The launch as taken by cameras fixed to the SRBs (Solid Rocket Boosters)

You have to be a bit of an "anorak" to watch it all but there are some amazing views. Watch it up to 2:20 mins when separation occurs then follow the booster down to splashdown at 7:00 mins.

Am I too late for this shuttle lunch, or should I just eat my sandwiches?

I have always thought that the worst thing about drowning was having to call 'help!' You must look such a fool. It's put me against drowning.
