Spectacular footage from a new special edition of the NASA documentary Ascent: Commemorating Shuttle.
Your hosts: two cameras strapped to the side of the booster rockets on Atlantis and Endeavour as they accelerate to over 4,800kph, re-enter the atmosphere from 66km up and hurtle back down to the ocean.
You may or may not be moved to say ‘Wheeeee!’
