While we have our own ideas about what should constitute a slow motion film, I guess this one from NASA is okay. I mean, if you like explosions and enormous hulks of metal rising into the air, and flames.

Okay, okay, it’s totally freaking awesome. I really want to know what the film speed and exposure were. It was going at 500 frames per second so there’s your shutter speed, but that sucker would have been bright.
