virus: A Space Shuttle Climbs to Orbit

You are going into space. New small cameras allow anyone with a web
browser to virtually ride along with the space shuttle, at times from
numerous angles, as it launches into Earth orbit. Small cameras mounted
on the tall thin solid rocket boosters have captured last week's launch
of the Space Shuttle Discovery from a unique perspective and in
fascinating detail. The above movie picks up just before the space
shuttle separated from the thin boosters. The tiles on the bottom of the
shuttle are clearly visible. As the movie progresses, the shuttle
Discovery and its brown external fuel tank break away from the boosters
and continue onward and upward. The new cameras not only make cool
movies -- they help NASA monitor details of its shuttle launches better,
with the promise of making future rocket launches safer and more efficient.
