Amazing video captured by the cameras on the side of the Solid Rocket Boosters (SRBs) as they're blown clear of the space shuttle Atlantis during the launch of STS-115.

It most likely uses an explosive with an oxidizer, in other words, it provides its own oxygen through a chemical reaction. I am sure however a cigarette lighter wouldn't work up there. I'm sure I can explain it better, but I really don't feel like it right now. Maybe later...

Wow. I grew up in Merritt Island, but this video gives the whole experience a deeper sense of REALITY. It goes from space, which is something the vast majority of us will go our whole lives never experiencing (making it very exotic and almost unreal) to the very same ocean you can swim in. On the way down I could make out my home town and the surrounding areas. Wow.

its just an optical illusion, due to the fish-eye lens. at 1:48 the horizon is flat and at 2:00 it is round shaped again. I dont think that in real view a remarkable round shape of the horizon can be seen at this height... the seperation is done in approx 45 kilometers altutude.

Explosions can occur without oxygen being present, think of Supernovas. To answer your question the explosive bolts used to separate the SRB's from the main tank are vacuum stable explosives. The very nature of conventional explosives is that they do not require the air/oxygen to explode.
