It would have been cool to watch the carmera attached to it as it fell back to earth. but it unfortudently orbits for a good deal of time (as it had orbital veolicity when it seperates from the shuttle itself).

A video from Cnn can be found
here although I'll keep searching for a full video of the launch, that one only covered the first 2:40 of it. But watch around 2:20, when the external boosters detach, it freaks me out a little bit that its a flaming firefball that looks like its falling apart. The detachment I saw on the original webcast showed the main fuel booster coming off that was pretty cool. But it looks like Nasa is back in space.
