7 minute long video of the reusable solid rocket boosters from STS-124 space shuttle mission, from flight to splashdown. I like the sounds, actually, as it's rotating in the upper atmosphere; you can hear some flexing of the metal and the gradual pick up in speed and presumably the friction.
I also dig this video of the solid rocket booster - from STS-124 - but without sound. You can see the jets of water shooting out inside the platform, just before the rockets fire.
And one more, but from STS-115.
