Wow! That looks real! Special effects sure are getting better at making things look like they were really shot with a camera 8D

Considering that Shuttle used SRB's (which don't turn off), had no escape system, and required so much to go right on both launch and landing... its absolutely amazing we only lost 2 Shuttles.

What are the six burst discs that burst between 0:05 and 0:07 to the right of centre frame? I've never seen them before, what do they do? are they Auxillary power units decomposing Hydrazine that power the hydraulic actuators that gimbal the 3 orbiter engines SSMEs? I can't find any info on these online, so any help would be appreciated.

I remember watching a night launch on television with an ex girlfriend who happened to have blonde hair, she wanted to know would the astronauts not want to be able to see where they were going, ...... we didn't last long after that.

[@Olsteradamus]
