Phil Plait has a great video of the STS133 Launch

From Phil Plait’s Bad Astronomy blog comes a great Video taken from several cameras on the solid rocket boosters (SRBs).  The greatest sight for me was to see from the aft cameras the shuttle orbiter and the fuel tank depart after the SRB’s were jettisoned.  Here’s a screen cap from the left aft SRB camera.  Check out the entire video.  There’s only one or two launches left.
