[Top Banana]

not sure if this has already been posted, but some amazing footage and sounds from
the shuttle boosters during their short life....

the part where the transonic shock front passes over the shuttle is superb..

Presumably the speed readout is an estimate - the parachutes don't appear to have any effect on decelleration at all.
