Here is a link to a movie that was compiled from HD footage taken on 2 Space Shuttle missions. The cameras were mounted on the two solid rocket boosters:

This is quite a view of launch, solid rocket booster separation, and the view from the boosters as they fall back to Earth and land in the ocean. One part that is only visible for a few seconds is that of the Space Shuttle orbiter and tank flying away from the boosters after separation. The whole thing is is amazing--it amazes me that the cameras could live through it.
I miss my Space Shuttle, can you tell? (but I don't really miss going to work).
