Errrr.... all the physics are wrong. Space Shuttles don't got from 0-100km/h in 1 second after the engines fire, if you ever watch a shuttle launch they don't move for the first couple of seconds because it has to turn thrust into forward inertia for millions of kilograms of weight. Then when he had engine separation the engines simply fell off the side like they were feathers caught in the wind, ignoring the fact they were providing all the thrust given to the shuttle and the shuttle only has inertia until the secondaries kick in. What really happens is the explosive bolts that hold them on blow and make the engines slowly peel away from the shuttle while moving at relatively the same speed and when the second stage kicks in the shuttle pulls away from the primary engines.

It’s one of the things sadly the shuttle program never gets enough credit... for all intents and purposes, the boosters and 3 integral mains lifted 135 tons (maximum) to LEO... there was no reason why another payload (other than a shuttle) couldn’t have been lifted in exactly the same way. Or even a refueling tank devised to launch into orbit in place of the shuttle. Then Dock, and have more than enough fuel for perhaps a mission to the moon? Certainly the 30 ton cargo bay could have held all types of lunar equipment. And with the abundance of fuel available, capable of a “braking” return orbit to earth.

[@NameNotAlreadyTaken2]

Well no, this shows the massive INefficiency of a rocket based on a hydrogen sustainer engine. Look at the massive tanks the Shuttle and especially SLS have to carry nearly all the way to orbit. Results in massively excessive cost. It's like, maybe, the out and out worst way of getting to space.

@@W0Ndr3y Indeed. The LEM and CM weren't the only things the Saturn V hauled into orbit. It had to haul the S-IVB, loaded with fuel, up into orbit so that IT could send the rest to the moon. In a comparison like this, you have to consider everything above the S-IB as payload, and that's a lot of fuel weight. Skylab was only launched into LEO and it did so using just the S-IB and S-IVB.

@@burggerbig102 size of the tank is one thing, but the density causes the thrust to be much lower (otherwise you'd need combustion chamber with very large volume, in order to push out lots of mass), hence combining efficient hydrolox with inefficient solid boosters to compensate for this lack of thrust.

[@scio7838]

If you compare the Falcon Heavy to an Delta IV Heavy, which doesnt has those big SRBs, the burn times get closer (FH: 187s, Delta: 328). Still about double the burn time for HydroLox, but a much smaller ratio, than with the SRBs

[@3ctjhseolere]

I think the OMS burn happens later during the flight, when it's close enough from its apoapsis.

[@jmr5125]

The video is correct -- the vast majority of shuttle flights used "direct insertion" trajectories which omit the OMS-1 burn. "Standard insertion" trajectories were used early in the program due to uncertainty in SSME performance in flight conditions and later when the required destination orbit would result in the ET impacting over land.

[@maxine_q]

@LordGroyper Depends on the engine really. Some engines use ablative cooling for their nozzles and that's what you can see, because some of the nozzle's material gets mixed with the exhaust.

[@TheNoneMan]

They expand cuz the air pressure outside gets lower relative to the exhaust pressure. That's another reason to use stages, since engine bells are designed with specific curve, which matches some pressure range. FYI, it's bad if exhaust expands to sides, since it is not contributing that energy to rocket's speed

[@maxine_q]

@LordGroyper Well yes, but it isn't always invisible, that's what I was trying to say.

[@korishan]

Really neat video of real time flight. A couple of suggestions: 1) It'd been nice to see the rockets turn over the earth as they reached altitude as real rockets don't go straight up, which kinda is implied by the really long cloud flight 2) KM flown for each rocket to show how much farther one over another flew.

[@PointyTailofSatan]

You did a great job keeping the ratios of fuel to oxidizer in the tanks right. It looks odd for the fuel tank to be so small on the Saturn V first stage. But this is correct, as the first stage used RP-1, a type of kerosene and a much more energy dense fuel by volume than liquid hydrogen.

[@bluewater82]

Not sure if someone already commented on this but in case you didn’t know the reason why it looks like a thin line is burning down the length of the solid rocket boosters is because they have a hollow core so that the entire length of the rocket is burning to produce maximum thrust.

[@venticuiliar9136]

It definitely takes a lot to leave the earth's atmosphere and to get into orbit. Maneuvering while in orbit is a piece of cake in comparison!

[@221b-l3t]

Takes almost every rocket between 8 and 9:30 minutes to get to orbit. You don't want to go to fast or you have to make the rocket stronger (and heavier) than necessary and loose performance and if you go too slow you fall back down again before having achieved the necessary speed to achieve stay up there (19000 mph). So it works out to around 8-9 minutes for practically any rocket. They're out of the atmosphere pretty quick within about two minutes and then begins the long climb to orbit up to Mach 25 or even Mach 35 if you want to get to the moon or Mars.
