That's one of the coolest things I've ever seen.
I was thinking the same thing until I saw the "sound design" credits at the end. That usually implies someone making up the sound FX based on what's going on in the frame. Still sounded cool, especially the SRB ignition - POW!Absolutely beautiful. It's great you actually get the sound, too and I loved passing the sound barrier. Truly amazing stuff there.
This is the blurb from the video: "From the upcoming Special Edition Ascent: Commemorating Space Shuttle DVD/BluRay by NASA/Glenn a movie from the point of view of the Solid Rocket Booster with sound mixing and enhancement done by the folks at Skywalker Sound. The sound is all from the camera microphones and not fake or replaced with foley artist sound. The Skywalker sound folks just helped bring it out and make it more audible."
I don't know what all was done, but they are from Skywalker Sound so their work is good.

The drogue chute is located at the tip of the nose cone (frustum), when the SRB is in a stable tail down attitude the drogue and the frustum separate from the rest of the SRB initiating main chute deployment and the frustum rides down on the drogue. I guessing that was the frustum in the background.At the very end, you see something with just one chute splashing down, looks too small to be the other SRB...any idea what that is?
