--> 00:13:02,910 booster officer confirms a normal solid 210 00:13:12,740 --> 00:13:04,690 rocket booster separation standing by 211 00:13:30,830 --> 00:13:15,240 we're with you join engine start it's a 212 00:13:35,950 --> 00:13:32,900 and obviously this is a silent version 213 00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:35,960 so we'll try to let the gaps 214 00:13:42,590 --> 00:13:38,250 how'd your any narration you can provide 215 00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:42,600 it'd be great okay obviously I looked 216 00:13:48,110 --> 00:13:44,730 out the window just during the roll 217 00:13:50,870 --> 00:13:48,120 program there and our obviously first 218 00:14:13,000 --> 00:13:50,880 stage pretty bumpy ride and he could 219 00:14:16,750 --> 00:14:15,160 and with that for a cloud deck there I 220 00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:16,760 glanced out the window to see the high 221 00:14:30,519 --> 00:14:25,010 cirrus Becca by Tom it sure does show 222 00:14:32,379 --> 00:14:30,529 the rough rides of the solids yeah you 223 00:15:04,930 --> 00:14:32,389 all know it's playing impressive right 224 00:15:04,940 --> 00:15:18,000 there's a tail off of the SRBs 225 00:15:18,010 --> 00:15:50,370 and there's a flashing SRB Sep 226 00:15:54,450 --> 00:15:52,500 and the sky was dark but we could still 227 00:16:03,810 --> 00:15:54,460 sit here and out the side windows after 228 00:16:10,860 --> 00:16:03,820 SRB Sep and opening the visors that's 229 00:16:12,510 --> 00:16:10,870 why we have tethers sure shows where the 230 00:16:34,030 --> 00:16:12,520 blond hair assemblies the only surprise 231 00:16:38,890 --> 00:16:36,040 and you'll see a few reflections of the 232 00:16:41,170 --> 00:16:38,900 forward RCS button RCS Jets firing 233 00:16:49,630 --> 00:16:41,180 during 80 SEP and of course we did the 234 00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:49,640 11 second plus X after the 7 we see you 235 00:16:53,050 --> 00:16:51,410 doing that now Tom and that's a lot of 236 00:16:55,090 --> 00:16:53,060 people real happy to
