Space Shuttle: Final Countdown - Achievements & Tragedies | Science Documentary | Reel Truth Science 

Very nicely put together.

One of the most interesting and well done documentaries I've ever seen. Thanks a lot.

What an amazing documentary.

the greatest space rocket to ever be made,the Saturn V was a beast but the multi uses of the shuttle for its era was best bar none

Gründe & Begründen .......

Hvor er det rigtig godt og er fantastisk af folk kan få os på en ny planet,og er kommet så langt som vi nu er.

Space shuttle is a big machine evar

they used hat felt and bathtub silicon to attach the heat tiles . so how didi that work out ?

I remember this day well as I was sat in history class and someone out of our class had got a radio into class and turned it on to the amazement of the class to which he was told off by the teacher and had it confiscated we all said miss this is history in the making and we are in a history class turn it back on we want to listen so she put it on her desk turned it back on then told him he can have it back after school.

I'll blame NASA for the Challenger incident. They knew that the cold can cause problems with the ORings but the High ranked Managers thought they're godlike and nothing can happen to them.

America has always been an endeavour in space race. They made every space program impossible possible. Constantly Dwelling on risk to achieve success in such a micro gravity from launch pad till re-entry and landing safely on earth was always a night mare for NASA engineers as observed from many space documentaries I have seen. 👍

Wo sind die Brocker.Controller Center bitte......

Excellent documentary - very informative. Also shows not everyone in America is an idiot! Thank you for the upload.

Epic white elephant

Still a Great Job done America. From the begining everybody hoped that nothing will ever ocure but in reality that does not exist.

Gratlation gelandet .....

@19.50 the tiles were loose fitted. Which means if any one tile fails, then it is free to fall. It's better to be interlocked with each other, so if any one of the tiles went loose, then the adjacent tiles will support each other. And there were 25000 of them.

Wessen sind die Verlust......

I know its all about NASA, but sad they didnt mention about Soviet shutles, that were scavenge from stolen US plans, and if im correct the Buran actually worked, was cheaper to use, and because it flew only on external rocket wihout its own engines, it also had more storage. Even the Antonov 225 was especialy build to transport the shuttle. But all was scraped and forgoten after Soviet Union breakdown...

Just on a side note: Loved it how John Young petted the "horse" after landing because he was so proud of the vehicle that had given him a hell of a ride (in the most positive way). ❤ And he landed "her" as smoothly as anyone could, handled her like the virgin she was... (sorry, got carried away a bit here).

Amazing Achievements. Thank you for putting this together. Worth a mention.. There is a person in this documentary who looks EXACTLY like one of the Olmecs from The Mysterious Cities of Gold; Fitting that this is a documentary about space. I will neither confirm nor deny the name of the person.. but I look forward to your speculation if you are old enough to remember the Cartoon Series, and make the same connective observation that I did. Stay.. Nice And Safe, All. Did you see what I did there? o.O' ^__^

what kind of responsibilities does NASA have for families of the astronauts of the doomed flights of Challenger and Columbia space shuttles in the aftermath of the disaster? Does NASA have to face court battles from their families? or do they settle it before the disaster by contracting them to some kind of life insurance policies?

I am watching this as i build the LEGO NASA 10283 Space Shuttle Discovery

Senator Barbara Mikulski (1:03:36) knows where it's at: "If we were gonna go to the moon ehhh or go back to Mars...." lolwut

if u know it can't be fixed it's best to not let your crew know it's their last flight, make it quick

1:15:05 that didn't age so well

Those teachers who got rejected for the mission must be thanking their luck...

interesting point about the columbia accident though. With the foam strike on the leading edge, what could they have done to fix it? Im guessing there was no AAA or spare tile patch kit on board.

I’m really conflicted about the Space Shuttle. On one hand, because it could only reach Low Earth Orbit, it feels like it was a hand brake on deep space human spaceflight. On the other, it was crucial in creating the ISS, which was essential to studying the effects of long term existence in space and all the problems associated with it. I don’t think we’d be able to eventually have manned bases on the Moon and Mars without that research.

God I love that thing I watched the first launch when I was five with my dad.

SSTO shuttle should be launched on a rail ramp. The best method yet never tried.

52:31 Charlize Theron?

They should display one of the shuttles with the full stack, obviously without fuel lol

Having the habit of using mnemonics at varsity, this is how I cram the Shuttle names ACCEDE( Atlantis, Challenger, Columbia, Enterprise, Discovery and Endeavor) Disasters happened for those starting with the letter C.

Sprachlos......

apologies, but I have to step in: the crew on Columbia knew all along what happened to the spacecraft, but they were told that all is fine. the crew on the ground spotted the foam hitting the wing, asked for more detailed pictures, but were denied. more details here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linda_Ham. to add to the injury, the team that ran the tests to see if the foam could actually destroy the carbon-fiber reinforced structure on the left wing was denied the possibility of tests repeatedly. so again, with all due respect, the chain of events presented here is false.

Hi

Now it’s only “history”. In my lifetime. Strange feeling when one ages, that my times are over. Columbus may well have found the continent of americas But Armstrong did it in front of some 500 million pairs of eyes. I was almost there, at the time, 20 07 69.

Hubble Telescope did not record a single star being born, thats the only flaw in this material

25:53 John Travolta

5:25. For all the wrong reasons.

Most Complex vehicle with thousand things should go your way. 🙄That takes some courage and engineering.

All in all, the shuttle program was a big success providing solid launch pads for successive ones that the entire world should contribute to, basing on the fact that "no one is so poor to share and no one is so rich to receive".

The object 5 - O - 5, Europe. "The shuttle EXCELLERATE trough MACH ONE WITH UNBELIEVABLE PURPOLSIONS." Dont you worry; i will always find my way home. :-) Absolutely astonishing documentary. Thank you.

Keep strong. Dont forget that despite the evil in this world, God is full of justice, mercy and love. Justice said we broke His perfect law - causing the world's previous perfection to be destroyed - and therefore we deserve Hell (like a punishment in any legal system but this is eternal as His perfect law is eternal too). Don't think you fit in that category? Ever done one of these?: lying, stealing - regardless of how small the object EVER, hating others - which is murder in God's perfect law, lusting (plus God sees our entire thought life). Justice says "the soul that sins shall die" - if we break one in thought/word/deed it's as if we're guilty of all of them. Quite simply, living by the law (which is doing everything perfectly) is impossible for sinful humans . The law shows us that 1. We will die in Hell if we fail to follow it and 2. We cannot save ourselves BUT, 3. God's perfect, immovable law points us to Christ, who followed and fulfilled the law in thought, word and deed perfectly in our place. He did what we couldn't and did it on our behalf. He was then sentenced to death on a cross, and took our personal punishment for our sin, paying our penalty (like paying our fine) completely FOR us, and has given us freedom. If we turn from the sins we have committed and repent (pursue the opposite direction of love through Christ) He will, overtime, recreate us back into that previously perfect image through The Holy Spirit which Jesus sends to all who accept Him as their personal Lord and Savior of their life. It's not about following the law - perfectly, as it's impossible - it's about letting Christ in to guide and teach you and obeying Him through His power (not ourselves as it's impossible without depending on His power and instruction). He is our substitute in His life, death and resurrection. He essentially rewrote history in our place so that, if you believe in Him, it will be as if you had never sinned if you accept Christ's death as our own in our place. He is in Heaven right now preparing a place for us so that He can take His faithful, believing children home with Him when He returns. He will ressurrect us from death when He returns, giving mercy to those who accept His love, instruction and teachings in their life, and give justice to those who refuse it. He doesn't want ANY of us to go to Hell and die for continuing in evil and rejecting His way to life, thats why He died FOR us. Hes giving EVERYONE a chance, He wants everyone to take the free gift of salvation from Hell. He wants us to be His and begin to follow His life of love and service through His power and abiding (staying) with Him. So long as we keep our hearts near to Christ through His strength, strive to follow His will of perfect love revealed in the Bible, and let Him lead in the midst of (very certain) pitfalls and struggles, we will, in time, win the ultimate victory over sin, pain and DEATH through Christ. Even if you are willing to be made willing, pray for Jesus to come in and He will do what we can't. Give us The Holy Spirit who will guide us in the right way. NOTE: You are NEVER too sinful or messed up that God cannot turn your life around through Jesus. EVER If you have any questions let me know xx

Why didn't using METRIC numbers?!

Many people believe space exploration a waste of money. But it beats war as a means of raising tech to higher disciplines. Landing on the moon drove technology to once impossible goals. Today’s iPhone is proof of that.

Safe and Reliable?!! No way! The biggest mistake, was to use hitresisting tiles! They should have known that that was a GIANT mistake. Feld?!! And ordanairy glue?!! For a spacecraft that had to withstand extremely high temperatures and dynamic forces?!! You guys were out of your mind!! Total irresponsible!! I can't believe what I am seeing and hearing in this documentairy!! This madness!!

Why do I have to pink a tear watching this? Must be the menopause.

the best document I've seen to date. its interesting to see what Elon musk is doing now is nothing new. a capsule type design has already been done and one of the designs for the space shuttle looks a lot like the SN he is building now

Das geht an President Verantwortung.....Kann ich nicht Verantwortlich geben

the space shuttle wasn't doomed after launch it was doomed when it entered earth atmosphere

135th and "final mission" lol we can't leave

Go US!👏👏👏

Die EU Projekte schon Beendet ist

Lets be honest! The design was a joke and a deathtrap

Only thing is the space shuttle never took anyone to the moon, so its a shame they got rid of the Saturn V

Why NASA can't went to moon by shuttle ?

The designers and engineers could have known right from day one, that inspecting such a complicated machine with 2.5 million parts, would be costing far more time than two weeks! And a thousand parts that needed EXTRA attention! Error in this documentairy: On the morning of the 28 of januari 1986, there was NO concern for the tiles! There was concern for the O-rings of the SRB's!! The day before, there had been a debate between Morton Thiokol and NASA, because wether reports made it very clear, that there should be temperatures of -46 degrees fahrenheit at the morning of the launch! That cold, was NOT good for the O-rings of the SRB's because they could shrink, and leak fuel! However, the NASA was overruling the engineers, and said they would not hold the launch. We all have seen what was the result.....

I like cheese!

Hats off to USA

OMG!OMG! HOW YOU TAKE A SHIT IN ZERO GRAVITY?DOES THE SHITS FLY? I ASK SERIUSLY,NO SHIT. OMG!OMG!

The Spaceshuttle was doomed from the beginning. It's construction was NOT high advanced, as is said in this movie! Only high complicated. TO complicated with 2,5 million parts! And not to forget those extremely vulnerable tiles, that costed the life of 7 astronauts!! The Spaceshuttle was for the biggest part, a failure!

Why lie

B m,

You just cant picture how noisy that is. Ye not wrong Pal lmao.

Sorry, but the shuttle was awesome

the limited bs moon mission looks more and more like the hollywood set it was filmed in

Hi
