Here's an amazing ride on a booster rocket from start to finish, make sure you turn up the sound for some cool and eerie sounds.

It's amazing that after the release of the booster rockets, they gain another 13 miles in elevation, and then slowly begin the descent. Thanks for the intriguing video HB!
 
Re: Shuttle booster rocket video from start to finish.

that is pretty cool . It hits the apex @ about 3-k MPH & then starts to get sucked back-in & down by gravity .
Badass when the 3 Drogue's pop & the recovery rounds come open for the splash-down .

Hellfuckinyea!

Threw on the headphones and cranked that shit up....still smiling. What a ride man...How that thing keeps from destroying itself, every time they launch, is amazing.

Thanks HB!

You're welcome. Those are some pretty wild sounds no doubt coming from the left over H2 and O2 sloshing around in the tanks.
