    When i watch it, i think, it is a loving Tribute to the 1986 Challenger crew.
    I love every single second of this video.
    All the people in this video made this crazy world a little bit better.

    I was on a plane back from The Republic of Georgia, after doing a joint exercise with their military in 2011 and saw the last shuttle launch of the NASA program from the aircraft. STS-135. It just so happened to also be the Atlantis shuttle shooting through the sky. It was the most amazing thing I'd ever seen, and, to this day, it still makes me think that I could've maybe been an astronaut instead of a Marine. Honestly though, I think I would've loved to do both if possible. Watching this video, even though not the same launch, made me tear up a lot.
    We were mostly sleeping, and the captain came on the intercom, quite loudly, and told everyone we were about to witness something that won't ever happen again. Told everyone to look left, out the portholes, and look at the lower cloud cover. Out of nowhere we saw a missile like object just flooring it through the clouds. It looked like it was a mere 10 miles away, but we were flying into Bangor Maine and were well over 1000 miles away. The plum from the boosters was massive and within 10 seconds the shuttle was gone into the upper atmosphere. After it disappeared the captain said that we had seen the last launch of NASA's space shuttle program and that's why were the luckiest people in the planet at that point in time.

      ​@@letmetellyousomethin9410 Balloons can't fly that fast, that high, carry that much weight, can't travel 740 miles (1,190.91 km) and burn that much fuel in 8 minutes, not even a poor try on your part, just simple incompetent mental capacities, and a lot of flat earth indoctrination for +ons.
      But you people don't even read or watch the videos, just listen and understand what you can, and make up the rest in your own tripping heads. You can clearly see the Shuttle is on its own, and burning fuel from internal tanks, so there's no additional tank or attached objects you can call balloon. And FYI balloons can only go up as high as a max altitude of 50 km, where atmospheric is as dense as helium normally is, and after that, near vacuum atmospheric conditions will make the helium burst the balloon.
      Helium is the second-lightest element known, so there is no possible way any balloon can go above 53 Km (top record), and no balloon that can go higher and travel faster than wind speed has ever existed, and specially not where there's no air.

    I am 80 years old and watched, on TV not in person, nearly every launch of the shuttle. In my estimation, to borrow a quote from the movie Patton, "Compared to a shuttle launch (he used the word War) all other forms of human endeavor shrink to insignificance". I have watched this video many times and I get the same feeling I did with the first launch. Breathtaking, spectacular, emotional and, perhaps, one of man's greatest achievements. It never gets old and I miss those missions and the anticipation surrounding each launch. It was a great time on out history. Sadly we currently have no space program. NASA has, in large measure, turned it over to Space X. Despite the talk I doubt we will ever make that trip to mars. The Orion program is several years behind schedule and we have lost our spirit of discovery and exploration. Sad for us and our future

    Probably one of the most exciting moments of my life was to go from the U.K. to Florida and get the opportunity to stand with people from all over the world to watch a shuttle lift off. The vibration in my legs and chest and the lovely people around me made it exciting but extremely sad moment to see one of the last shuttle launches as the space program for the shuttle came to an end. Lots of emotional people at cape canaveral base.
    The Americans have terrible tv and fast food but my god they pulled the stops out when the first shuttle lifted off in the 1980’s . Since that first launch I skipped school to watch on tv. I made a deal with myself that no matter what happens I have to witness a live launch . Incredible 👍👍👍👍👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🌹👏🏻👏🏻🌹

      I was down in Florida in 1994 for environmental sampling of some of the older launch pads. Since I had a pass, I was able to drive to the viewing area, the closest you could get without being mission control or the press and got to watch the shuttle go up. It was day time but once the shuttle was clear of the steam cloud, the flame was really too bright to look at with the naked eye. It was a nice to be on-site during one of the launches.

    The Space shuttle was a beautiful machine , I can watch the space shuttle launches over and over and loved the watching the B747 with Space Shuttle piggy backing on it , a beautiful sight , the rockets that are used these days just don't have the same appeal ,maybe today's rockets are more advanced and fuel efficient but I really care to watch those launches.

    • @fork9001
      @fork9001 2 года назад +9

      @@nirbhayatiwari5425 No, you are wrong. The STS stack had 35 MN of thrust, and the Falcon 9 has 7.6 MN of thrust. The space shuttle is even more powerful than the Falcon Heavy (around 17MN). Idk where you got your numbers from, but mine are from wikipedia. Also convert to imperial yourself. The two boosters alone produce roughly 24MN of thrust, which makes them more powerful than falcon heavy. But the RS-25 engines on the back have much less thrust then the falcon 9 (of course, its 3 engines vs 9 engines, even though Merlins are not as powerful).

      I'm American, but we are humans every single one of us. Everyone bleeds the same let's be proud of being human, having the will to risk billions of dollars, tons of manpower, and the brave humans who put their lives on the line just to advance us. It's that curiosity and persistence to explore that makes humans special. It's ingrained in us, irregardless of where you were born it's just in our genetics. NASA is compromised of people from all different nationalities just with a common goal.
      Even during the Cold War when we here in the United States and those in the Soviet Union were willing to vaporize either nation at a moments notice with nuclear weapons there was a mission, not well known unfortunately but it was beautiful, the Apollo - Soyuz mission in 1975. The Apollo capsule from the USA and the Soviet Unions Soyuz capsule docked in space and they boarded one another's spacecraft. Despite our severe differences on the ground, up there, there are no boarders, we look different and speak different but they got along because under all the bullshit we are just humans and pioneers and explorers doing what humans do. Risk life and limb to push into the unknown and discover. That's all of us it's in our genetics from millions of years of evolution, I hope we get spaceflight cheap and available enough that one day people like you and I can experience it. If you have Netflix definitely check out the inspiration4 mission that just took place we are going in that direction. Best wishes in the future brother!

I watched Shepard launch into space and right back down again in my 6th grade classroom, then John Glenn orbit and watched Neil take his first step onto the moon as a newlywed. I have not missed a launch since even though they quit being a huge event on TV. I was watching the "Teacher Launch" live though and then when Columbia broke up on reentry, and they were no longer routine. Thank you for this and thank you Atlantis.
