Awesome space launch sound and video

This is amazing, footage shot from the space shuttle's booster rockets.

This one shows the whole story from just before launch until splashdown:

In this clip, from the other rocket, you don't see anything until 1:50 in or so. You get to hear the rocket engine thundering, and the fat fuel tank gurgling away.  Then the booster blows away from the STS and - well, just watch.  Towards the end there's some spotty stuff during parachute deployment; keep going.
The sounds are awesome.
