Great documentary. Thank you for producing this. From waking in the morning to switch on my tiny transistor radio and hear voices from the Moon - Oh Wow. That will never leave me. So I have lived through most of the space exploration era and am grateful that I did so.
Been all the way from Germany to LA just to see Endeavour, being close to one of the most impressive machines ever built... Can I just say I stood there and was crying? 😢
I never saw it in real life, but as a kid of 11 I watched the first launch and was in awe, and every other mission thereafter I’d never lost my awe, interest and respect.
A fantastic documentary. The loss of lives are a tragedy that we cannot undo. We can only improve processes and technology. Failure is part of progression. RIP all those brave souls that sacrificed their lives in the name of science.
Challenger disaster, terrible moment... Saddest thing watching live how 7 beautiful and brilliant people went that way ❤️🌹 same with the Columbia disaster, beautiful people gone
Shuttle: A word that has connotations of just catching the shuttle bus to Margate in order to catch the train to London. But of course, defying the imagination, it goes much, much further!!
Why did we stopped building and improving such wonders? The concorde, the space shuttle, ? Why did we stopped going back to the moon? just when technology has reached its peak.
2,200 tonnes. Starship weighs 5,000 tonnes. Amazing. Fun fact, every film showing something like the space shuttle gets it wrong. None have it inverted. Only one film got it right. Yep, the james Bond film (thunderball?) and that was before the shuttle first launched.
I Think You Are Confusing Thunderball With Moonraker ? ? ? There Are NO Space Shuttles In Thunderball OR You Only Live Twice, ONLY In Moonraker Do We See Space Shuttle's ! ! !
I remember the first space shuttle launch our class was all sat in our history lesson wanting to listen to the launch on BBC radio but our teacher disapproved of radios during class but one of us gt one into the class we said to her the teacher let us lisson because in a few years we will be covering the space missions in class and she said give her the radio, we thaught that she is going to confescate our radio but she came took it off of us and put it on her desk only quiet but enough sound so we could hear it when quiet and at the countdown she turned the noise back up and when we heard launch sequence complete with a smile on her face stood up smiling and wrote the time and date on the blackboard whilst doing a little dance after that class we all said that she was the best teacher in school, even though I can still remember her face but not her name only Miss.
I think it's a shame because it seems that if it wasn't for the management the 2 disasters could have been prevented, Such an amazing piece of engineering
I watched the first launch and landing and the last launch and landing. Amazing but it seems like the US could have done so much more than have a space truck for satellites. Anyway, it's done now, let's see where NASA goes next.
IT SEEMS LIKE THE LESSONS WERE NOT LEARNED 17 YEARS AFTER THE CHALLENGER DISASTER IN 1986 WHEN TRAGEDY STRUCK AGAIN WITH THE COLUMBIA STS-107 IN 2003 ! ! ! ? ? ?😭😭😭😭😭😭😭🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
It is the dream of mankind to build a spacecraft that can go and return, and the Space Shuttle Orbiter was the very first step in this direction. I hope that the next generation of engines will be invented and that the new Space Shuttle equipped with such engines will once again go into space.
Thanks for a great video. I have to say that given the fact we can gain from this video alone, it seems the problem with NASA, was its senior management, at the time of both fatal missions. Watch the video, especially regarding the second event. I feel sorry for that engineer who blamed the foam strike; only to be told they think he's wrong. Who the heck are they, to say that?
so nasa and washington was responsible for the tragedies and the end of the project. 1st they cut corners in absence of ideal launch conditions and in the 2nd, they forgot the 1st - refusing to act on the immediate evidence. if they could repair a telescope,the crew mightve worked something out even if they hadnt carried a bunch of spares - they couldve just docted into the ISS and waited for the pickup. so much talent and precious lives just evaporated
@@Tanks_In_Space Trying to do what hard? I think Trelona and her fakery doesn't need to try hard at all it's so obvious for those who can see it. Stay in your fantasy world where your comfortable and happy. Thx for your reply and enjoy your life. Its been a blast. For educational/entertainment purposes only!
I LOVED the shuttle, but I can see why they went obsolete. Maybe we'll have something similar in the near future, but I see it having modular pieces depending on the mission. We kept launching a "cargo ship" into orbit no matter what the payload.
It if was made just as delivery system or cargo vehicle, there was no need for a crew. Most of the missions, except "research", was just flippin' the switches or other minor things. Maybe the Hubble Telescope or ISS couldn't be made without use of the Shuttle, but we know EVERY single flight was a huge risk, with millions if things to be aware of, and where single problem/fault means loose of entire vehicle and/or crew. Space Shuttle is entirely different thing compared to the rest of regular spaceships. And still not even close routine "space shuttle" flights. How anyone could come to conclusion space flights would become normal, regular thing, like going to the shop doing groceries or whatever. It's insane. With the best vehicle ever, it always will be a huge risk, no matter what. Just thinking about it. it's silly.
@@override7486 I want to see you eat your words in a couple of years when SpaceX’s Starship makes it routine. Heck, for cargo, Falcon 9 has already made it routine with Starlink launches.
Ofcourse its high risk. But I bet every astronaut was more than willing to accept that risk. I agree it never went obsolete. Bush decided a war in Afghanistan was a more important thing to waste money on than the shuttle program 🙄
Still they should’ve kept and put one of the original RS25 engines, not mockups, in each of the three that are in museums, instead of going to a watery grave never to be seen again 😢 that’s just stupidity
actually the docu is wrong, it wasnt the space shuttle that did more launches nor delivered more payload to space, that ship was called soyuz, its russian.
hi, cim here from South Africa, please explain to me, how do you synchronise the speed with the ISS while doing the docking process considering that it is at 28000km/h?
The USA are so far advanced this was something back in the 70s with the six million dollar man now it was realistic what a great piece of engineering 😊
Russians have used the Soyuz space capsule since 1959 to date and never had a single accident,it's actually nicknamed the Volkswagen beetle of space travel.NB:The Soyuz is what Americans have been using since shuttles were grounded in 2011.
Agree. Soyuz is extraordinary with its 60s technology. Of course it is not big as space shuttle, if Shuttle is a bus,Soyuz is just a taxi. It can't carry much stuff. But surprisingly long living ,economical and safer.
I was in 6th grade here in Finland and the landing was due 15.00 local time and it was shown live in tv.When we are leaving the classroom our nutty teacher says:"It s going to crash,nobody is able to do something like this."He was quite embarrassed next day.
We often see pilots go through the pre-flight checks both in and around their vehicle... should they be doing that as well in space for flight returns ?
Yes they get out in orbit and do a walk around pre-check before getting back on the road home, 3 points per bad tyre if they don’t and land with with not enough treat depth, if it’s not right they ring the breakdown service to come out and change them before returning
scale in the scope... more, more more... compacted in 3 persons the universe, you have to procrastinar um pouco... suns na mão de um guerreiro são filhos Abraão... Saiba contar... Não sabia contar as estrelas e te dei nações para o meu Herdeiro.
How many kids want to go to space? all say yeeeah. Teacher say okay with the shuttle 2 out of 100 will die on landing possible, and thats why we not using it anymore kids
At the end Russia won the space race. What craft is used today to bring astronauts and supplies to ISS? The Soyuz, that is based on the 60s tech and still reliable. The Shuttle program proven to be way more expansive then originally thought, not mentioning the complex and expensive maintenance requirements. The original STS program was way more complex then the final Shuttle. But due to budget cuts and political interference it became what we all knew at the end
That is a nonsense. First of all, 80 percent of the whole ISS wouldn't have even been there without the Space shuttle. You just couldn't put those big modules and trusses up on a Proton-K rocket. Hubble telescope wouldn't be there without the Space shuttle. I would love to see it serviced five times from Sojuz. Just because that old piece of scrap is able to put people to ISS (and pretty much nothing else) really doesn't consistute by any metrics a "win in a space race". By this logic the winner of space race is actually Elon Musk.
24:29 how he explains it makes him sound like he's telling a legendary tale, and its so satisfying..
Great documentary. Thank you for producing this. From waking in the morning to switch on my tiny transistor radio and hear voices from the Moon - Oh Wow. That will never leave me.
So I have lived through most of the space exploration era and am grateful that I did so.
Been all the way from Germany to LA just to see Endeavour, being close to one of the most impressive machines ever built... Can I just say I stood there and was crying? 😢
I understand you. I did the same, flew in from Europe just to see a Shuttle up close.
Ditto - Saw Atlantis in Kennedy. It was an emotional moment.
I'm waiting to do the same 🥺
You should cry because the Americans stole German scientists to create NASA.
I never saw it in real life, but as a kid of 11 I watched the first launch and was in awe, and every other mission thereafter I’d never lost my awe, interest and respect.
A fantastic documentary. The loss of lives are a tragedy that we cannot undo. We can only improve processes and technology. Failure is part of progression. RIP all those brave souls that sacrificed their lives in the name of science.
Wake up they're still alive see you tube.
Challenger disaster, terrible moment... Saddest thing watching live how 7 beautiful and brilliant people went that way ❤️🌹 same with the Columbia disaster, beautiful people gone
Best documentary ever
All alive apart from one. Not dead.
Just some added info, the 6 shuttles were:
Atlantis
Challenger - destroyed on launch
Colombia - destroyed on reentry
Discovery
Endeavour
Enterprise
Enterprise was never space worthy!
ProGreen LAWN - It’s still a shuttle though, and the one with the best name.
@@zerg9523 the runt of all shuttle! The red head step child shuttle!
Buran
@@TNsher776 The Enterprise is the reason that the others even made it into orbit.
I love the "ooh whoo" part! It's very strong feeling of faceing death and succeed.
got to be one of the best Documentaries i have watched
Bring back the best piece of engineering in history.i was there when challenger blow up so sad.
The best piece of engineering is now at Space X, far better than NASA. Shuttle failure rate was high
Thank you all the shuttles
Atlantis Endeavor Challenger Discovery Columbia and Enterprise
Thanks for all the best documentary
Amazing documentary ! I love the space Shuttles, can't wait to see one !
Never gonna happen mate
@@Sparklingtube in museums

Its a plane with 2 jet engines you can see the jet stream as it lands in the opening video. It was supposed to GLIDE from 'space.' Do research.
I keep going back to this documentary because it really got me into nasa and space exploration. I love it :)
Best documentary and such an inspiring one

Amazing engineering ,totally amazing
Most scary event live on camera..... very very remarkable moments in space histroy
The narrator makes the documentary sink in your mind
The space shuttle is massive my bigger than I ever thought it would be
Why did we stopped building and improving such wonders? The concorde, the space shuttle, ? Why did we stopped going back to the moon? just when technology has reached its peak.
Inspiring stories about mega science.
Very interesting video
HOW WOULD OSCAR WILDE HAVE PUT IT ? ? ? "TO LOSE ONE SPACE SHUTTLE IS UNFORTUNATE, TO LOSE TWO SEEMS LIKE CARELESSNESS ! ! !"🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
The worst part of this that they knew that the O rings will fail, but as a program must go ahead....
What you don't plan for gets you you must be perfect in everything you do

I remember the first space shuttle launch our class was all sat in our history lesson wanting to listen to the launch on BBC radio but our teacher disapproved of radios during class but one of us gt one into the class we said to her the teacher let us lisson because in a few years we will be covering the space missions in class and she said give her the radio, we thaught that she is going to confescate our radio but she came took it off of us and put it on her desk only quiet but enough sound so we could hear it when quiet and at the countdown she turned the noise back up and when we heard launch sequence complete with a smile on her face stood up smiling and wrote the time and date on the blackboard whilst doing a little dance after that class we all said that she was the best teacher in school, even though I can still remember her face but not her name only Miss.
Wow, no wonder I can't understand it, even after reading it few times. There's literally a single dot, as a full stop, in entire sentence.
I think it's a shame because it seems that if it wasn't for the management the 2 disasters could have been prevented,

yes this is reality and the life of a shuttle.
Final stop
It was a jet plane never went to space
The launch craft is covered in ice and the temp will stay at 0.C during the day, The boosters arnt safe ..... Nasa: Nah it will be fine

After the accident, the first thing they did when a shuttle got into orbit was a full check of the outside of the shuttle with a camera on a long arm.
Would it be possible to make the RUclips automatic translation tool available?
