NASA has released t' first ever up-close, high-definition video o' Kennedy Space Center's solid rocket booster (SRB) recovery ships retrievin' SRB segments from t' Atlantic Ocean followin' a space shuttle launch. Blimey! T' unprecedented video is from t' launch o' t' most recent shuttle mission, me hearties, STS-133, shiver me timbers, Discovery's final flight, on Feb. 24. Followin' each space shuttle launch, ya bilge rat, crew members o' Liberty Star and Freedom Star pull t' spent boosters out o' t' briny deep and return them t' Hangar AF at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. Once they are processed, me bucko, t' boosters are transported t' Utah, where they are refurbished and stored, if needed.
