Mom’s Space Shuttle Video (Night Launch)
by Pete on Dec.31, 2008, under Video
Mom’s camera was rolling for the November 14th launch of the Space Shuttle Endeavour. One interesting thing is that the sound from the launch doesn’t reach the them for over a minute into the video. The sound heard in the beginning of the clip is the wind, and an audio broadcast of the launch. I notice the rocket light at six seconds into the video, with the sound noticed by Mom (and the other people there) at around a minute sixteen seconds.
A quick calculation: (767.5/60)/60=0.213 miles per second, 70×0.213=….they were about 15 miles away.
Lifeboats - Snow Patrol
by Pete on Dec.31, 2008, under Audio Findings
Although their new album A Hundred Million Suns doesn’t quite match up to their 2006 release Eyes Open, it does have several great songs. I particularly like the number 4 track “Lifeboats”. Once the time-line below appears, click the play button to listen.
