Shuttle Cameras Yield Excellent Footage

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the mr-griffin's-wild-ride dept.

Jivecat writes "All those extra cameras NASA has added to the Space Shuttle to watch for debris impacts have yielded what may be the coolest Shuttle launch footage ever. The forward-facing view from the right-hand SRB shows, at about the 2:58 mark, booster separation and Discovery zooming away. Other views are available at the main mission site."

    the NASA site suggests. The MPlayer plugin for Firefox (same thing you use for CNN's video) works fine. Great footage.
    Doesn't seem to work on my Mac with Flip4Mac. If you go to post something on a public website and have to add a disclaimer that it's "Windows Only", don't even bother to post it until you find someone with a fucking clue to convert it into an open format. MPEG-2 or MPEG-4 would be fine thanks.
