I've never watched a video so many times and still have the same excitement everytime

[@dustywelchcraneman6614]

Space is so incredibly exciting. My grandad used to say that his dad watched the Wright brothers fly the first plane and before he passed away watched a man walk on the moon. My grandad can remember them talking about going to space and being a young boy talking about going to space was something you read in comic books and dreamed about looking through your $2.00 Sears-Robuck telescope that you saved up the clip outs in the comic book to get free. Then he watched them do it, and always talked about the country and the overall excitement involved in it. How it was something the people wanted to do more than anything! Then he would talk about how he watched that flame go out, and how people stopped looking up at the night sky, that no one was interested in space or what lays beyond. But he lit the fire in me for it. What's out there? Let's find it! Let's go there! But on the same note, space is so beautiful because, it's on place that man hasn't fowled up yet. It's still as it was when it was created. It's full of mystery and excitement and curiosity, and some fear, as what's out there may be bigger and badder than we are, or may be timid and shy. But we will never know sitting here looking up. We need to go! When Kennedy space center was commissioned by the government it was given the name the "Kennedy Space port" with the capacity to launch Saturn V class payload rockets once every 4 months, with a 6 stall V.A.B. multiple launch towers and platforms, this was going to be slinging rockets into space like busses in Time Square. And it seems that it was never utilized to its full potential, and now basically lays dormant silent. It breaks my heart.

Impressive how quick the atmosphere turned from low density to high density (high friction) and the SRB started to slow down violently. Not to mention the transition from quiet to noisy as hell. Never thought the transition would be so quick

[@betelgeuse5834]

The friction with the air is also impressive.

[@noecarrier5035]

The atmosphere is layered and not uniformly thinner with each metre above sea level. The booster is still travelling at enormous velocity when it suddenly starts running into comparatively much denser atmosphere. Also, the force of the airflow pushes the booster into a sideways orientation, which dramatically increases the overall drag in a short period of time. A spent booster has a very high volume but a very low mass, too. It makes it look very sudden.

[@13_cmi]

It’s crazy how sharp the boundary between the layers of the atmosphere. You’d think it would be a bit smoother. But you can see it with anvil clouds. They flatten out so quickly once they reach that boundary. I guess the atmosphere is actually like those diagrams you see in elementary school.

Thanks!

[@olawlor]

​@@2earache I get the impression an attached vapor cone is visible due to condensation, which happens due to the shock cooling of the air in the trailing edge of a "normal shock". Normal shocks happen as a vehicle approaching the speed of sound (mach 0.8 plus) pushes the air out of the way at supersonic speed. After the shock compression heating on the leading edge of the normal shock, the air has to cool as it exits the shock and is almost instantly expanded again. If you look for "schlieren slowmo" here, there are several videos of these transonic normal shocks attached to fast-moving but subsonic objects (like bullets).

The raw power of this machine! 0-60 was quite slow but then the speed starts climbing and it seems like it won't stop. 30 second in and it's 500 mph! 60 second later it's 2000 mph - and it's still going! I wish I could've experience the acceleration on-board the shuttle. The few lucky people who did - I bow before you, brave souls!

[@jimbilton1956]

Thanks for posting this amazing video. My admiration for the Space Shuttle, its designers, builders, in fact every body connected with the operation of this incredible machine, grows with every new piece of information I learn about it. How fortunate we are in having such superb video cameras these days, which enable films like this to be made. My only sadness in watching this, is to read some of the comments posted here. WHY does You Tube seem to attract people who feel compelled to make such aggressive and just plain nasty remarks?

[@cdav]

DjaZZ A lot of advanced technology we have today was made for space exploration, and spunoff into technologies you use everyday. If NASA hadn't invested so much into computers back in the 50s and 60s progression would have been a lot slower, and things like the microprocessor would most likely not have come to fruition, at least at the tume they did. There are plenty of other examples of spinoff technologies, but I won't get into them here. Also, do you not find it important to have a base off of this planet where humans could survive a mass-extinction event? Not that that's particularly likely in the near future, but it's better safe then sorry

[@videogamebomer]

@DjaZZelecTriK dumbass alert

[@grantrev-nz4337]

Well put. Sorry am 2 years late regarding this reply. But i wish every person would learn to admire , respect and be gratefull. Dont forget this all started with the best feat man has carried out. The Apollo era. We can now look at the footage from probes , sent by other countries and see the moon landing sites. You can see the moon rover , wheel tracks , the instruments left behind. Its incredable . And these other countries ,would have not given a dam if there were no evidence , in fact they woud have enjoyed showing the US had lied. But they had no opion , they showed in real time what was on the moon. It proved 100 percent , U.S.A , have landed and left all the evidence . Fantastic to view from the Japanese probe , chinese prob , and a US probe. Good man as the shuttle was a great machine. We forget they carried out 100s of missions. And when they say it was to expensive , they really mean , "it was to expensive for the budget allocated for the shuttle program. And its horrible to lose life , but over 300 plus missions we only lost 3 shuttles. The apollo rockets had a far worse percentage for failure , and the brave astronauts all had the option to say NO. But they knew there was danger , and it was on a percentage , a very high danger imagine how much we would have advanced if they had the mill budget. They should have just been given whatever it cost , to mantain , upgrade , change design etc etc. Cheers

[@PiperAtTheGatesOfYourMom]

Grant Rev-NZ I agree with everything you said except the fact of the Apollo probability failing was high. Those Saturn V’s have a perfect record! Every mission launched with it turned out great. Yeah, Apollo 13 had an electrical problem but that was the command module. The rocket itself is the greatest, safest, best performing engineering in history! Btw... way to shut that guy up. Good job man

The engines were far more efficient and still have yet to be bested in their class AFAIK. The saturn was bigger, that doesnt make it more advanced or better technologically. it could lift more, but it did it with old tech.

[@chrismofer]

@@jshepard152 actually you may be forgetting the Apollo 1 fire which charred 3 astronauts and the apollo 13 EXPLOSION in space. in shuttle, the two failure points were humans that chose to launch outside of weather spec and the punctured wing which could have been investigated much more thoroughly than it was before deciding to reenter.

[@srinitaaigaura]

Vertical!!!

[@adamp.3739]

Someone's been watching Top Gear over here...

[@Norsilca]

@@srinitaaigaura That's a good point, it's 0-60 vertical. 0-60 mph (0-26.8 m/s) in 4.1 seconds is 6.54 m/s^2, so without gravity subtracting 9.8 m/s^2, it'd be 16.34 m/s^2. So if it was on its side, on level ground, it'd do 0-60 in 26.8/16.34 = 1.6 seconds!

[@srinitaaigaura]

@@Norsilca When it gets light enough it pulls 3G and the engines have to throttle down slowly to 67% thrust in the last min. That's like 100 kmph per second.

[@Norsilca]

@@srinitaaigaura Hmm, 1g is 9.8 m/s^2, which is about 22 mph/s. So 3g is 66 mph/s. I'm not adding 1g for gravity here, since at that point it's probably pitched over significantly. So it's not pulling 3g fully against gravity, like at launch. I don't know what exact angle it is, but I guess we know it's somewhere between 0 and 90, so it's capable of somewhere between 3 and 4 g's of acceleration, or 66-88mph/s.

I was amazed how the boosters kept there speed after the disconnect. Slowed down some, gained speed again then slowed drastically after getting into earth's atmosphere.

[@jrockett73]

Boosters never leave the atmosphere. Only about 150,000 feet.

[@jmstudios457]

I think he meant going out towards the edge of space(around 60k feet, for some reason despite being only around 1/5 of the way to the karman line) and then coming back down into the thicker parts of the atmosphere

[@davidodonovan4982]

Maximum apogee of the boosters is 220,000 ft they seperate from the main tank at 150,000 ft.and continue on an upward arc to a maximum apogee of 220,000 ft.

[@playststeve8789]

If only Columbia had cameras like that, they'd have seen the hole in the leading edge of the wing. :(

[@playststeve8789]

Not quite.. yes they saw the foam strike but "assumed" that it wasn't enough to penetrate the carbon carbon structure of the leading edge of the wing. They did want to use a spy satellite to photograph the wing in orbit but decided against it.. shame :(

[@mjptrapster]

Why do you bloody think they had those cameras in those positions? It was part of the redesign of the whole launch flow processes after STS-107. The camera is there to watch the RCC panels on the leading edge, because of what happened to Columbia.

[@slartybarfastb3648]

These cameras were added after the Columbia disaster. They also added post-launch inspections while on orbit by placing a camera on the Canadarm and the graceful backflip manuever before docking at ISS.

[@sol2544]

Slartybarfast B A good idea would have been to have extra re-entry plates on board the ISS itself so that such a repair could be made

chris cummings gravity makes the water stick. Go and learn some basic physics and it will all make sense

[@drivventodrumm1]

STRYKA FPV Gravity is considered a theory based on the fact that it is not repeatable. Real science is provable and repeatable. Take water for instance, we all know water seeks its own level and always needs to be contained with boundaries like any puddle, pool, lake or ocean...this is a fact... so until you can prove otherwise I suggest you refrain from making yourself look foolish

[@hatbat1234]

chris cummings so is the theory of germs, but hey they're just A theory as well. Level does not equal flat, level means 90° to the attraction of gravity. So no buddy, I don't see objects accelerating at different speeds.

You are correct, they weren't. Boosters had to be completely refurbished and so did the main engines, and the rest of the Shuttle for that matter. The entire project did not live up anywhere near to it's promises. Finally SpaceX has come along and shown us how it's done.
