Several views from the SRBs on the most recent shuttle launch. We've seen most of the same sorts of images in similar previous launch videos. But one thing I'd not seen is right at the very end. Well, ok, I have seen that happen to one of my parachutes, but first time I've seen an SRB parachute do that. Fast forward to 36:25 to see what I mean. :) http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/videogallery/index.html?media_id=90811131 patrick p.s. I seem to remember something similar happening during one of the Apollo landings. Any other old timers out there remember that?
