REALLLLLY fast ride to altitude

Recommended Posts

Here's a link to a camera that was mounted on one of the solid rocket boosters of the Space Shuttle Discovery's recent launch:

Hell of a ride to altitude, eh? Do you think there was big internal debate at NASA to determine if mounting a "GoPro" on the SRB was a distraction for the pilot? :P

That is so cool...like five to ten seconds in and "Door!!" B|

So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh
Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright
'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life
Make light!

What are the little white things coming off of the windshield? You would figure after the heat shield damage from foam on the other shuttle, they would have gone over that thing with a damn lint roller and squeegie.

Homeless Hank wasn't on duty at his normal corner.

Next time, they'll run it through a bikini girls car wash on the way to the pad.
My reality and yours are quite different.
I think we're all Bozos on this bus.

That would be a hell of a ride for him then!

Imagine the camera step and grips!
