>> ^Pooterius:
Does anyone know at what point in the video the shuttle goes trans-sonic? There seem to be a few audio discontinuities, but it might be supersonic at the beginning of the video.



By 20 seconds into the flight, the shuttle has completed it roll and is accelerating through the atmosphere at about a 78 degree angle. Stress on the shuttle caused by its speed through the atmosphere is further relieved by powering back the main engines. By 45 seconds into the flight, the shuttle breaks the sound barrier. A minute into the flight, the pressure on the orbiter decreases and so the shuttle engines are returned to full power. At this point, the shuttle is traveling at an incredible 1,609 kilometers per hour (1,000 mph) or about Mach 1.5. By the end of the next minute, it will triple this speed!
