Thought it was notable that during the launch , the on-board video
broadcast did not show SRB seperation, (although we got ET sep) think
NASA found it to boring to broadcast? All viewers got was a long
range ground view of the SRB sep.. Does this video exist or were the
cameras not broadcasting?................Doc
