      I wish I could give a first hand account, but I’d imagine it is quite an intense experience! You are basically sitting on top of controlled explosion with all the forces shaking the shuttle and the acceleration holding you down in your seat. There is an awesome youtube video that gives more of an idea: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E5nIzXroVTI
