This is just an incredible and amazing video from NASA that was taken using camera's on the Solid Rocket Boosters of the Space Shuttle during a launch. There is even sound, and some comments on the video. The video also shows the time in the upper left corner and the speed on the upper right corner.

There are multiple camera's used and the sound is very interesting to listen too.

This is one of those videos that is a great resource to get kids interested and excited about something.
