I grew up on Merritt Island, the island right next to Kennedy Space Center. I've seen probably 30 shuttle launches. It was always a pretty cool thing to see, but the novelty did sort of wear off eventually to the point where you'd be having a conversation and suddenly hear loud rumbling. "Oh, is the shuttle launching today"? And then look outside the window for a few seconds lol. That's about how it was for locals.

Cuenta, como fue ese momento!!!?!!!

Well said,I agree

The space shuttle is and will always be my favorite spacecraft

Definitely!! It looks the Best of the Best. That's why all Hollywood movies use the shuttle to get to space.

It's almost like comparing a freaking Mustang from the 60s compared to a Tesla in 2022.

No, Space Shuttle was more powerful, was able to be turned around in 54 days, no F9 has done that. It also came back to land like a plane Nothing will ever beat the Space Shuttle

The station has its own arm. The shuttle arm removed the KIBO Japanese module from the shuttle and assisted connecting it to the station. No repairs done on that mission.

You’re friends with Michael Fossum? That’s pretty cool!

yea a nice story fake

I know I love it. It looks like it's about to lift the entire launch pad out of the ground and take that with it to space. It's amazing!

+LightningFast Rc Yessssssss

Just raw freaking power

+John Rambo Yes it is. Check out a Saturn V Rocket launch. Each Saturn V rocket engine produces 7.5 million lbs. of thrust. The most powerful mechanical device that man has ever created!

+Angrytiger That's because it doesn't belong on the ground. It wants to fly.

Nice

yea ow about that car alarm 2 mins 10 sec into it that make it so real i mean a car alarm said everything like ruin the sound

Hahahaha

Probably it became KFC under rocket fire

Nothing can stop what is coming LOL Q

what i wonder more is how nasa allows birds to be there in the first place. i thought they'd take measure to make it bird free? or is a bird impact not dangerous for the shuttle? the foam isolation on the tank would not be happy to crash with a bird. would be my guess. it had a bit more than one minute to escape death zone. also its not that bad in the air than on the ground in the near vincinity of the launch pad ( or am i wrong here?). also dont underestimate the intuition animals have. 1 minute at 60km/h means it would be able to get 1km ( ~0,63ish miles) away from the launch pad. the question now would be: how safe would 1km be from launchpad? ^^

Once those engines start nothing is hanging around. Having said that, there is footage of the space shuttle hitting a bird on take-off.

Because its humanity's next step

+Austin Texas If you ever get a chance, go see a rocket launch. If there are people on it like with shuttle, it's hard to not get emotional. The power rattles you to the core and you think "there are human's on top of that". It's just one of the most incredible things I've ever experienced. AND if you have seen one launch in person, then you probably know what I'm talking about. :)

+Austin Texas the feels man :3 the amount of collective brain power required to design and craft these shuttles and their culmination resulting in man venturing into space is pretty powerful (no pun intended)

talk about emotional watch it with the October sky soundtrack...I damn near cried.

+Big Moose Humanity's next step is Mars.

I'm sorry for the trauma he had to experience. And that he probably got laid off. Especially because he probably was fighting to postpone the challenger flight. Tell him it wasn't his fault. He might need to hear it.

@@williamsplays8528 Tragedy that to me could have been avoided. He was actually hired in 89' so it was after the investigation and after they changed their protocols, when he was there he couldn't tell me what he actually did. And I didn't ask. He had to have a security clearance. He got a patch for every mission he helped go up.

PNathan can’t wait to see the Big Falcon Rocket launch someday.

It's a shame that strapping the orbiter to the side of the fuel tank is about the worst possible option for launch aborts, though. It is very aesthetically pleasing but a capsule design with a proper launch abort system could have prevented the loss of life during the challenger disaster..

Hey, nasa got its hundreds of millions of dollars (per launch) worth on the wow factor of the shuttle! lol

The shuttle is probably the best looking space vehicle we've had so far, but in terms of capabilities and performance it definitely registered relatively low in both categories. The Falcon Heavy may not be as aesthetically pleasing as the shuttle but it's definitely a far more powerful and capable rocket. It actually has the possibility to continue human space exploration, whereas the space shuttle was never intended to go outside of low earth orbit

SpaceX and NASA are both equally incredible in my opinion

I seen it once in person, you dont just see it, you feel it to. It was one experience i wish i could have again. Everything from the launch to the crowd, it almost felt like a concert environment.

Dave Terry i feel like in this day and age, most people would whip out their phones and record it rather than actually experiencing the launch

@king mah No, my family felt that something like a camcorder was a waste of money, so never was able to get personal footage, i would of loved to. I do remember so many people with those big RCA camcorders recording the launches, sadly, i was not one of them.

Ive seen many launches and i can tell you it never gets old. Ive probably got to see 5 on the space center and the rest i would see from my house. Night launches were amazing. The whole sky would light up and if you had a good breeze in your direction the sound would makes its way over. When the orbiter would make its way back to land after the mission was over, the boom when it reentered the atmosphere would make our windows shake. I really miss the space shuttle.

+José Luis Valencia Thank you sir. Those three RS-25 Main Engines exploding to life was my dad's pride and work. He was on the Rocketdyne/Rockwell International team well before STS-1 and retired just before the Columbia tragedy. The beauty of what happens at 1:28 is a big part of why I made this video.

It looks absolutely spectacular thank you so many so much for this vid +indiegun and one question I should know this but how does that cone in the middle of each rocket on the main engine stay there how does it work

+indiegun Your dad certainly has a lot to be proud of ! Wow, the technical aspects behind this goes beyond my imagination. Fantastic! Thank you for posting this !!!

+Gaz2598 the cone you are talking about is a mach diamond. The mach diamond appears when there is supersonic flow. The mach diamond is the result of interaction between supersonic flow and the atmosphere right outside the nozzle. As long as you have supersonic flow, the mach diamond continues to stay there.

Interestingly close to the jet engine test stand motto at the Fargo Air Nat'l Guard F-16 base: "Thrust You Can Trust".

The only thing impressive about SpaceX is that someone finally spent the money to do it. Thats it. They have not revolutionized anything. Not even the suicide burn return landings (which is what that maneuver is called in KSP which I am convinced the musky one or one of his devs ripped it off from). They did not have to create turbopumps from nothing, rocket engines, fuel containment, piping, control, feed systems.....They are standing on the shoulders of NASA, NACA, The US Navy......a number of German scientists, who, for political reasons, their involvement before America ran with developing the designs shall not be discussed in this post......Decades of research and development most of which was paid for by American tax dollars (which makes the research open to the public, literally anyone willing to dump the cash into the venture could have done the same thing, all that technology to get to space belongs to the public.....and most certainly was NOT dreamed up by some musky sycophants). Credit where credit is due, porting the suicide burn autopilot code from that KSP plugin to an actual rocket was impressive. And the landings are pretty neat once they got the bugs worked out and the PID loops tuned in (well, the ones before that were impressive too, but for other reasons ;) ). But there is nothing particularly groundbreaking about what SpaceX is doing other than burning cash to not have the tax payer foot the bill all the time.....the plans for the parts existed, they simply needed to adapt the dimensions to their uses. We already knew how to get to space by the time mr balding turtle face whos digital financial transaction business was scooped up by PayPal who subsequently fired him for incompetence came along to get everyone high on his farts.....I wish all that STEM funding wasnt such a waste and actually made people more scientifically literate instead of just a bunch of nerdcore cosplayers shouting "SCIENCE!" at every explosion they see. Maybe then there would have been more people who saw how incredibly reckless and dangerous the autonomous vehicle thing was, and known we discovered the problem is NOT computational, it is conceptual...we cannot program a digital computer to conceptualize a task like driving the way our analog brain does, thus the problem cannot be solved with more computation, and we figured this out through testing IN THE 80S!!!!! Computing hasnt changed! Its all still binary! Its gotten faster, cheaper, smaller, but it is still the exact same binary state machine operation it was since we moved away from the analog mechanical firing control computers we built for the last of the battleships.... That steam blown off and rant out of the way..... OMG Shuttle taking off is so sexy, right?!!!! that whole lurch thing it does then fires the SRBs as it springs back vertical...freaking incredible!!! Did you know there have been times the pyro bolts did not fracture the nut holding the SRB to the pad......so the SRB just rips them out of the pad, with a fully loaded and fueled shuttle, and goes to space anyways.....Those candles mean BUSINESS once they're lit. If you havent watched the slowmo film video of the SMEs lighting and SRBs being released yet.......DO! IT! NOW!

Pinnacle is the saturn V buddy

@@spinningsquare1325 Saturn V was impressive but it was literally just a big 3-stage rocket; capable of roughly equivalent thrust (though requiring less) and with 2.5 million parts, the Shuttle is justifiably regarded as the most complex machine ever built.

@@spinningsquare1325 kinda shitty rocket compared to nowadays performances

@@Quantiad the Shuttle is regarded as the most complex *flying* machine ever built, but i'd like to argue that it is what you labeled it as

Yes, I can say the same. NASA plans on sending a manned mission to Mars somewhere around 2030. Of course it will take time to design the rocket and pack food, water, and of course, air.

***** We HAVE been on Mars - just not with humans. The problem with taking humans to Mars is that we need to get them back home as well. This isn't much of a logistical nightmare for going to the moon because the moon is still within the Earth's sphere of influence, so getting back from the moon just requires enough fuel to escape the moon on a trajectory that intercepts Earth. The moon has no atmosphere and has the gravity 1/6th that of the Earth, so a pretty small sphere of influence. Once you leave that influence, you are pretty much already on a trajectory back to the Earth - and you only need to take enough fuel with you to do just that. With Mars, it is a completely different story. Mars is FAR outside Earth's sphere of influence, and is much much larger than the moon - and has an atmosphere, so the fuel required needs to lift another rocket off of Mars (with the fuel in tow), fight through the atmosphere just like on Earth - and ESCAPE Mars - - and then you're not done yet. You still need to burn even more fuel to get put on a trajectory that will get you back into Earth's sphere of influence. Basically, not only do you have to take enough fuel to get into Earth orbit and on a trajectory that escapes the Earth and intercepts Mars - but you also need to take enough fuel with you to do everything needed to get back home. And you need to get all that fuel off the Earth and into orbit as well. That's just an enormous payload and something we just don't have the technology to do. That's one reason many people have considered putting a fueling station and launch pad on the moon. We can make several trips setting that up, and when it comes time to launch for Mars, we can launch from the moon. We are still a long way away from this. In fact, there ARE currently civilian agencies with plans to land humans on Mars in the relatively near future. The only drawback? There is no plan to bring them back home. Whoever is selected for this mission will accept such mission with the understanding that they will never be coming back home. They will live on Mars for the rest of their life. This is how one company has 'solved' the fuel issue. Considering all of this, there is absolutely no reason to be surprised that we have not put a man on Mars yet.

If you want a good place to start try Kerbal space program, Yes its a game but its actually a really realistic space simulator.

Thanks! I will take a look. :)

Glad you liked my Space Shuttle launch video Finn. Really cool that you are interested in science and the space program as well. The Kerbal space sim is cool but be sure to also check out the other free space sim called 'Orbiter'. It's a bit tougher but it's my favorite. We need bright people of your generation like you to take science and space exploration to the next level. We're all in this together!

The shuttle was safer than the soyuz rocket and its the 5th safty spacecraft who ever was build when you ask me i fly with a shuttle not with a soyuz

Mou ntrix The thing is, if the Soyuz starts exploding on the pad or during ascent, there's a launch abort system so that the astronauts lives can be saved. Also both the shuttle and Soyuz have had exactly two missions that resulted in fatalities. Soyuz 1, Soyuz 11, STS-51-L, and STS-107. The shuttle fatalities cost 14 lives, the Soyuz fatalities have cost 4 lives. Still, I'd rather take a ride in the shuttle because it's roomier, and probably more fun to float around in. In the end though, the Soyuz is far safer.

In the 1960s ish BAe (or past equivalent i can't remember what their name was) designed an engine that could switch between air intakes and oxidiser and used RB1 as a fuel. it could fly into space without any need for rockets and could establish low earth orbit, basically a budget space shuttle but sadly the government cancelled it and spent the money on 'social issues'...

134 successful flights over 30 years, literally placing 90% of existing hardware destined for space into orbit with only 2 vehicle losses. Total cost: $191 billion dollars (or four (4) Twitters). $1.4B per flight. That is "K-mart cheap". After 10 years of SpaceX ... Starship has already cost a few billion and not one of them has achieved orbit.
