More rocket porn

Although I wouldn't say it tops the time-lapse video of the Milky Way rising, this NASA-shot footage from the Space Shuttle's solid rocket boosters is pretty amazing. It's a start-to-finish documentation of the boosters' 400-second ride from Cape Canaveral up to the edge of space and back into the ocean.

Click here because my ridiculously bad hotel Internet connection takes hours to upload the video.
In the meantime, look at this pretty Space Shuttle picture.

Wheeeeeeee....

For a space dork like me, this stuff is catnip. The last camera view is my favorite, at least until it gets spattered with gunk from the booster's burnout.
