Ride the Solid Rocket Booster (With Headphones)

From mental_floss:

In this staggering eight-minute video, you take a guided ride on the Solid Rocket Booster alongside the Space Shuttle. The video is interesting but the sound is astonishing - put on your headphones, watch this, and read the YouTube annotations as they pop up (it may help to make the video fullscreen so they're more legible). Apparently Skywalker Sound helped to mix and enhance the audio, to give you something like the real experience of being strapped to an SRB. My favorite sound is at just under 2:00 in the video, when the shuttle separates from the first section. Just wow.

Watch the video
