New Views of Discovery's Launch from Shuttle's Solid Rocket Boosters

I posted some other shuttle launch videos recently, but these views are wild. Some new angles.

Whoa, holy shit, this is an amazing collection of angles.

There are some other amazing angles in this NASA documentary - "Ascent, Commemorating Shuttle", in which they go through super close up, slow motion film of the shuttle launch process - trippy and awesome too, especially with the ambient soundtrack. - http://jeffreydonenfeld.com/blog/2011/01/ascent-commemorating-shuttle-launch-documentary/

Thanks for the links. Yeah, the power of it, watching the earth fall away, spinning in space after the separation, and especially the splash down, hitting the ocean! ... Really amazing. I'd like to see it on a big screen.
