Starting at roughly 05:40 EDT on Wednesday, they downlinked 20 minutes
of video/audio covering from about 2 minutes before launch until Ops
105. (well after MECO).
Interesting to hear plenty of audio not air-to-ground (eg: between crews).
Once also sees the role of MS3 (is that the designation for the guy
sitting between/behind CDR and PLT ?) since after MECO, he he the one
with checklists talking to PLT/CDR.
Alarms appear to be fairly loud.
Doesn't seem to be that much noise recorded during launch. You do see a
major jolt at launch time, then it appears to be more like vibration.
After SRB separation, it is much smoother and you can see MS3 taking out
notepads etc. But further along, they seem to stop being active as PLT
calls for 3Gs.
Then at MECO, the "thrown forwards" effect is far more pronounced than
on the videos from Soyuz. And the crew had very human/joyful reactions
not heard over the radio (all very professional, of course).
They almost immediatly noticed problems with the RCS jets in the back.
Hopefully NASA would make that video available either on NASA TV or via
their web site. Very interesting to watch.
Overall: definitely less formal atmosphere in the cabin than what we
hear on NASA TV during launch. Good to see that they are stll human
beings and not robots. |

I think this crew do seem particularly fun loving, I mean though I could not
see it, I gather from comments that during an eva one of them was making
shadow puppets on the side of the lab. And who is that who whistles
tunelessly inside his space suit?

Where did you see this video?
Why not release it to the USA tax payers?

NASA-TV. Available to the whole world.
NASA TV carried it as the crews downlinked it during a 20 minute KU
band window just before they went to bed.
Not sure if/when NASA TV might carry it again. |

It was on NASA-TV, which is one way NASA releases things to the USA
tax payers...

What caused those alarms? About 10s after liftoff and then after MECO... |

2 or 3 RCS thrusters failed, then Flash Evaporator switched to backup
system.

More precisely, a signal conditioner failure caused the software to
think the thrusters failed. The thrusters are fine. |

I guess I was at work when they showed it.

What was that during comm check, after MS4, that made everyone chuckle?
It sounded like maybe "Mod-oh-eight", but I can't make sense of it. |

Hi,
There are lots of in-cabin videos on YouTube. Yeah, it is cool to see that
they are human. In one of them, which I don't remember offhand (watch all
of them and you will find it), the Commander and Pilot high-five each other
at SRB seperation...
One of my favorite YouTube shuttle launch videos:
