   I agree with the Woz, it was the most amazing thing I’ve seen. I didn’t get a shot of this because I had already put my camera down, I thought the fireworks were over.

   Waiting for the SRB video of this mission, here is an incredible video for those who never saw it before, of the Space Shuttle Atlantis (STS-115) solid rocket boosters point of view. From lift off to the ocean.

    It’s only 30 miles in altitude when the SRBs separate. A 150+ foot long SRB is plainly visible at that altitude.

    Woz’s amazement can only be matched by his recent TV performance…

    The Woz, Dancing With the Stars!

    and practicing…

    I’ve only been to one shuttle launch, and wasn’t able to see the SRB separation. Darn clouds!

    I read somewhere that on night launches you can see the orbiter until it is over Spain. Not sure if that’s really true, but it certainly sounds cool.

    Skywalker Sound pulled a cool compilation video together for a SRB-perspective from launch to splash down.
