How NASA retrieves shuttle boosters
This video was posted on YouTube by NASA. This is how they retrieve the huge solid state rocket boosters used to propel missions into space.
In the second stage of missions flying into space the two solid fueled roket boosters ar jetisoned and fall back to earth landing in the sea this is how NASA gets them back.
This Short Video follow the 2 ships and diving teams who install the pumps on the empty rocket booster to remove all water from theam and make them float. The boosters are then towed behind ships back to NASA head quaters and reaused in other missions.
Overall this is just a brilliant video to watch.
