STS-133 Ascent Highlights

[@smilingdog]

As a KSC worker, I'll miss a vibrant Space Program. Sad to see the wonderful Shuttle Orbiters retired but they served us well. Also, thanx to those that 'slipped the surly bonds of earth to touch the Face of God.' You will never be forgotten. Challenger & Columbia & crews. God Bless America............

[@jetwoman1954]

Still watch this now and then, saw her last two launches, she was amazing....hope to see Discovery at the museum soon.....

[@turkishprawn]

My five year old and I wait with excitement for each of the Ascent Highlights video releases. We watched Discovery launch on its penultimate flight and feel a great kinship to this shuttle. This video really upheld our adoration for the Shuttle program and Discovery in particular. Well done!

[@Anonymoose]

This is a superb video. One last look at the power and intensity of the ascent, and a fine tribute to a ship that has truly changed history. I've been with her since the maiden voyage, and this final flight tugs on some heartstrings. She will be missed.

[@MIL-STD]

The greatest machine ever built. Only possible with American engineering.

[@djones9393]

Amazing. I was an elementary student & saw every launch with a tv rolled in. I watched Neil Armstrong walk on the moon in my class. This is an example of the magic math & science bring together. Plus it brought us drama making our human experience more complete.

Exceptionnelle

[@medikind]

fantastic views, perfect arrangement. best of all ascent higlights ive seen till now. thanks alot for upoalding!

[@Firefighter48181]

In case anyone is curious the song "Victorious" is on a CD from a music company called Non Stop Music. The CD name is Premiere Action 2, Victorious is track #9. Awesome tune for an equally awesome machine. I'm glad I had the opportunity to see a shuttle launch first hand (it was Discovery), it was one of the most amazing things I have ever experienced! I wish my son could have been able to see a launch, videos just are not the same.

[@Ryan19812012]

This is a great video. I watch it several times a day.

[@jester17282]

This is truly inspirational, it sends a wave of emotion over me I can't explain it . . awesome . . inspirational . . positively breath-taking and aw inspiring . .

[@goldgamercommenting2990]

Long live discovery! Long live one of the best orbiters in the history of Spaceflight and all man kind

[@swissairforcefan]

Best Ascent Highlights ever!!!

[@okankyoto]

Need one of these montages for Artemis I!

[@Astrostevo]

Superbly, magnificently marvellous. Thankyou. Vale Discovery.

[@cheddar2648]

she still flies... in our hearts and imaginations. :D

[@Inimbrium]

Discovery, like all Space Shuttles, have contributed countless times to science and will be missed.

[@goldgamercommenting2990]

She’s never missed She’s still here in a museum telling us how she dominated the shuttle program and considered as the best shuttle in human history

[@BertieFett]

Wow. Growing up in the late 70s / 80s I always thought the shuttle was an also ran as I wanted to see a moon landing myself. This video really brought home what an amazing achievement the shuttle really is. I feel so sad the program is ending with no replacement

[@Shadow_The_Pad]

Lets hope SLS will work as planned...

[@brdavis5]

Godspeed, Discovery

[@marcika]

The most beautiful video on youtube!!

[@photopawn37]

Epic. Simply epic.

Beatiful

[@ugowar]

@nathar83 Tyvek covers over the maneuvering thrusters put there so rain wouldn't get inside while the vehicle is on the ground. They are designed to fall off after liftoff, the bag-like appearance is so the would catch air flowing by and peel them off the vehicle.

[@rigolonzinbrin]

9'17, a piece of tank foam comes off; fortunately it does not touch the wing. Remember STS-107 Columbia...

[@JonaFinny]

That was amazing.

[@zxmarcos]

incrível... magnífico *-*

[@ckesling]

what a beautiful piece of machinery... thank you nasa and all of our astronauts:)

[@algreen1]

awesome

[@UrgentementeUK]

@TheGhostOfSabotage Well said ! I've been watching the NASA TV feed on ustream since she went up, wish we'd had that for all the missions! Just wish I could get to one of the final launches.

[@silicon212]

@loadingraivis88 Some foam liberated from the PAL ramp on the ET about 3:50 into the flight. It was high enough that there wasn't a concern about it, and that lack of concern proved correct.

[@PilotHaudi]

Bye Bye Big-D ! R.I.P

[@anallysound]

all the dislikes were from csa the soviets the japanese space agency and esa

[@Tremox5]

4:47 - fucking awesome!

[@kevinlove_]

Sick

[@stephaniebroussard488]

"We can confirm that the 747 that is vertical is in complete SPACE SHUTTLE STATUS"- airforceproud95 Just wanted to quote an airforceproud video because he does say "space shuttle "alot during the very normal FSX video involving unsalted peanuts, a hot air balloon, and the occasional 747 going "space shuttle status"

[@SerielThriller]

listen to only the audio of this, is fucking epic!

[@pilotAcademyFan]

Great video, dude!

[@SerielThriller]

does anybody have any youtube links for the songs in this video? cant find them anywhere? thanks

[@jester17282]

Mark Moore - Victorious

[@TheNeron3]

Could someone post the link to Victorious here?

[@BurlFish79]

USA forever... the first power over the world... long live to the seekers.. of sciences and technologies

[@JazzmosisNY]

Thanks NASA!!

[@swissairforcefan]

woooow this is a very nice video what is the song at 4:40??

[@bootwheelwingandkeel5506]

Hey KZbin, thanks for ruining this video by putting an ad right in the middle of the best part. I don't care if I have to watch ads but don't destroy people's hard work. Put the ads at the beginning or end you greedy pricks.

[@GumballAstronaut7206]

What's the song at 3:20

[@TehKyosho]

@nathar83 Yea, I saw them but I can't find any of the songs either

[@rgalvezmusic24]

What is the song at 4:40.. And where can i find it? Please answer

[@anallysound]

listen to 4:50 at max volume with beats it's epic :D

[@algreen1]

anyone know the name of the track starting 4:50? much appreciated

[@TheGhostOfSabotage]

@UrgentementeUK Same here man! :(

[@TheGhostOfSabotage]

The Space shuttle Discovery will be misted even here in the UK! :(

[@毛英九-l5z]

When did NASA back to manned launch mission

[@Lynxx377]

I wonder how many seconds, minutes or hours Discovery had traveled to past (or future, don't know) due to relativity.

[@MagicAl5F4781]

I have an AI-assisted answer from the future: cumulative relativistic time dilation from 365 days in orbit made Discovery 0.2 seconds younger than if it was unflown.

[@TCfoxs]

American people should be proud. They got NASA.

[@Masterbernsports10]

love playing with toy

[@TehKyosho]

@swissairforcefan I would like to know too!

[@justincynor3169]

Dude what the hell was that @ +3:50 ?!!!!????!!???

[@placydoplacek]

Can You be more specific? Did You mean orbital maneuvering system (OMS)?

[@justincynor3169]

@@placydoplacek I'm sorry. The event happens at 9:15 in this video. Something breaks off the external tank.

[@placydoplacek]

@@justincynor3169 That was tank insulation. But that was cleard as non critical thingy.
