space shuttle solid booster

One of the members of the USA7's forum (a super seven forum) worked for Thiokol, The makers of solid rocket boosters. This is an internal Thiokol video. I found it interesting.

I used to work very near those boosters. As I used to work on nuke missiles in the form of minuteman II ICBM's. I was lucky enough to have been part of a team tasked to launch one of our missiles from vandenburg air force base California. Hell of a light show as it was a night time launch and we were about a half mile from the silo on the beach.
