NASA Full Launch - Space Shuttle Discovery [Cockpit View]

[Cockpit View]
Space Shuttle Discovery Launch at Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
July 4, 2006 headed the STS-121 crew toward the International Space Station.
The crew of Space Shuttle Discovery tested new equipment and procedures that increase the safety of space shuttles during the STS-121 mission to the International Space Station. It also performed maintenance on the space station and delivered supplies, equipment and a new Expedition 13 crew member to the station.
This mission carried on analysis of safety improvements that debuted on the Return to Flight mission, STS-114, and built upon those tests

I was at the space center before the shuttle program ended. One of the astronauts said that once they get to the shuttle, they are going over so many check lists and prepping for the liftoff that they are calm and don't have time to think about it. He said the bus ride out to the launch pad is when you are asking yourself "what the f___ was I thinking?" lol

We dont even need to cut defense spending to fund the space program!!! I did some math today, in 2012 our government took in 2.4 trillion dollars in taxes. about 16 percent was put to defense, which funds alot of science and things like that so I have no problem with it, but something like 35 percent went to entitlements and what not, stuff our govt should have never promised people, then there are a few more big pieces of the pie. But if we took a small percentage out of everything our govt spends on, to make up 5 percent of 2.4 trillion, we would have 120 billion dollars for the space program, how great would that be? Gahh!!!! I am running for president someday, vote for me if you wanna see these things happen again!!!!

Could you include taking away the tax breaks to big oil THEY DON'T NEED IT! they make enough money and then use the money you save on further R+D

***** Lol. So it seems like a rocket launch isn't as rough as it looks, but turns out you get sick to your stomach afterwards. That'd probably happen to me... even before the rocket ignitioned, lol.

[@Milkmans_Son]

It has to be rough at the start, I mean seriously... After the main engines started, but while the solid rocket boosters were still bolted to the pad, the offset thrust from the Shuttle's three main engines caused the entire launch stack (boosters, tank and Shuttle) to pitch down about 2 m at cockpit level. This motion was called the "nod", or "twang" in NASA jargon. As the boosters flexed back into their original shape, the launch stack pitched slowly back upright. This took approximately six seconds. At the point when it was perfectly vertical, the boosters ignited and the launch commenced. (wikipedia)

[@eag1e98sam3]

The shuttle itself pulls a max of 3 gs during launch and re entry and was designed not to be so rough. I did go on the simulator that they trained in and it is like one of the best roller coaster rides

[@ezsautomotive4597]

the one on the right is reading a magazine at 7,000 mph?? lol

[@gdesiletsfilms]

He's reading but he's going at 0mph

[@fileoffish1403]

ezsautomotive they don’t “feel” like they’re going that fast, the acceleration is what they felt, not the speed

[@Starpentine]

Ivanhoe ॐ lol no

[@steventruthbetold3126]

Why is she holding that notebook while they launch? And it only bounces? FAKE!!!

[@Daniel-dc5mr]

What happens if they throw up in their helmets?

[@IIXXXXII]

rip

[@Daniel-dc5mr]

***** really?

[@thecanadianunicorns6108]

Daniel it would mean bad man tings

[@ali-gh6ht]

Daniel they've been through so many simulations, nasa would now by the day of the launch whether or not any of them had motion sickness. it'd be a serious health concern, so nasa is probably really strict about it.

[@jeremyrhansen6637]

ali 666 Ya but what if it wasn't from motion sickness but from extreme nerves of knowing the real thing is about to happen!

[@Error_404_Account_Deleted]

Thats got to be the most scary ride imaginable.

[@TheMyamax]

We are living in the days of humanitys first baby steps off our island world into the deep ocean of space. How long have we been looking and searching. How long the voyage will be. We must keep going forward into the vast ocean of space. so much to discover and love..

[@merlinm4]

the space shuttle was one of the finest machines ever built,,,,but i guess they would rather spend the money on weapons.....

[@the_alaskan_yeti2652]

merlinm4 the shuttle was extremely expensive, and an old piece of hardware. NASA has moved on to bigger and better things, like the Orion project.

[@cybercityoedo808]

@@the_alaskan_yeti2652 They should have just made an upgraded space shuttle. Taking off into space and landing on Earth with a reusable spacecraft makes sense.

[@sulufest]

1/2 of 1% of the US budget goes to space exploration- that's it. :/

[@Chrismasterski]

It should really be more

[@richieivers3680]

That would be 0.5% if I stand correct

[@KlonoaDreamer]

Sooooooo these people are going 17,000mph, uh yeah, have you seen some real science, like what a person undergoes in just 5G’s? One 'G' means that your speed is growing (or shrinking) by about 22 miles per hour every second. Fighter pilots train to experience high G-forces, and they wear special flight suits to neutralize the forces on the body during high-G. If you or I go through 10 G's without training or a special pressure suit, then the speed is growing by almost 220 miles per hour every second, and in that kind of situation, the blood drains out of the brain and we pass out. These people seem to be experiencing, well, nothing... and they reach 17,000mph in about 10min, riiiiiight... what a joke. Please people look up videos of people experiencing 4-6G’s of force for real and realize how fake this is. No one even in special flight suits could survive the acceleration. The technology doesn’t exist. If they are going at a constant speed they are moving 22mph faster every second for 10min which is way beyond 8G’s which is about our limit. Whatever.

[@fileoffish1403]

KlonoaDreamer they are better trained than any fighter pilot, they speed up slowly but steadily in a way so they don’t ya know, die. They also only reach about 3g which I’ve done before (centrifuge) not that bad, pretty fun actually

[@DriverGuy23]

KlonoaDreamer Another idiot that shows they don’t understand how g forces work in a moving rocket.

[@Chaos-and-Cats]

Wow. I was not expecting it to look that way. That was as smooth and casual as my last flight to Florida.

[@spheresector]

That was the mission with German astronaut Thomas Reiter!Thank u for the upload and greetings from Germany.Long live the American-German friendship

[@AppleBag1000]

half a ton of fuel a second ?, wow! mpg isn't to good

[@bendover1468]

+Apple Bag *too

[@100SteveB]

+Apple Bag Ain't that bad for something that does 17.000 mph though!
