Space Shuttle Backflip

Does this make you more, or less space sick??

Just in case anybody's wondering why the shuttle did a backflip... it's to inspect the heat tiles on the underside of the shuttle which may have been damaged during launch, in case they need repairing for re-entry.

It's very cool footage every time.
