Yoinked from slashdot: this is video footage from a camera on the Solid Rocket Booster. Skip forward to about 2.58minutes in for the good stuff, but if you're keen check out this post for some more interesting sights. Pretty awesome stuff.

^ Not in our lifetime.

Also, footage was cool on breakaway, would have been more awesome if the camera didn't spin around making me feel sick and then pointed at the ground on re-entry isntead of at the sun :(

^ Then watch the second video where a different cam is watching the ocean approach the booster as it's about to land in the water.

Wow, nice footage. I'd like to check that out in an Imax :p
