NASA's put up another ignition-to-splash-down video. Hopefully this link will take you to it, but if it doesn't the index will:

It's all cut up (again - why do they have to keep doing that?), but is notable for a view looking from each SRB at the other during and after separation. Seeing the SRBs tumbling through the atmosphere like that is awesome.

    That was awesome! Especially when the SRB's separated and you see the shuttle powering away up into orbit, that was just beautiful!

    @Stingray: haha you gotta love that! Slim Pickins riding that bomb down has to be one of the best moments in cinema history :) not many of my friends get Dr Strangelove, but it has to be up there in the top 10 of my favourite movies of all time

    What really cracks me up is that he's riding it backwards into a letterboxed screen...

    :p
