You need a sound system with a lot of power and a great sub (turned up to house shaking level) to get the right effect of this video. I made this for all the people who dreamed of seeing a launch in person but were never able to make the trip themselves.
Using dozens of different video sources and countless audio versions of Shuttle launches I mixed this little clip together to mimic as close an experience to the real thing as I could. I know that the exact sequence of countdown events is somewhat compressed and not time-accurate but I was going more for the 'feel' of a high energy launch experience rather than a technical documentary. Throttle Up and SRB Separation are sounds as might be heard from onboard acoustic transducers picking up resonant vibration in the vehicle's structure.
Please take care not to damage your sound equipment during playback. I did not do anything to boost the low frequency roar of the Shuttle during liftoff but the SRB and SSME thrust noise may be taxing to even high quality sub-woofers and speaker cones if played too loud.
For those who sit through the last few frames you can catch a glimpse of my home theater system I built a couple of years ago. This video really is best viewed at 165 inches or better!
i just realized, in my 17 years of life, ive never actual seen a blast off, only on animated shows but HOLY SHIT THAT LOOKS AWESOME

L.m.a.o., what?
He said this is awesome, this is on the upper end of the scale of energy and his human energy would compare if he's ever demonstrated such explosive power
I love how you can hear a bunch of car alarms going off in the background at the end because of the sheer power of the vibrations of the launch
fake, earth is fat
like my cat
@@Powerhaus88 r/whoooosh
that used to happen at airports in the 1990's cuz the engines were so loud on planes.
Crimson Clarity these people are nowhere near 10-15 miles away. This is like 2-3 at the most.
@@jordandupuis4342 But he did say fake, dumdass.
I can’t deny how impressive SpaceX and their rockets are but I’d be damned if I said that this isn’t more badass looking. Just reminds you that the astronauts are essentially riding a controlled explosion in a big metal shell at insane speeds into space.
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.
@@andblom88 true, and yet the older car is still just as cool as the newer!
The space shuttle launches are the most elegant rocket launches I've ever seen. So coordinated and perfect. This is one of the best launches as well.
I had the privilege to watch the space shuttle take off in 1995 in person. Unforgettable.
How old were you ? I saw it on TV the last time they went up. What surprised me was how fast it takes off. In movies they always make it look like this slow liftoff.
Soooooo jealous!!!

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!!!?!!!
O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain, For purple mountain majesties Above the fruited plain!
America! America! God shed His grace on thee And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!
The startup of the three main engines might be the most satisfying thing I've ever seen. It just looks so perfect when the exhaust transitions from red and turbulent to pretty much transparent with white mach diamonds (or whatever they are called). Just so clean and smooth😮
They are called shock diamonds.
@James Wheeler I don't know. He's a moron leave him be.
@@williamsplays8528 it's either or. Both are correct
Also how the whole vehicle leans forward even before the engines are at full power.
naw the best was the unwelcome car alarm 2mins 10 sec into flight
November 2023. I never get tired of watching and hearing the raw power of these amazing vehicles.
March 2024. I've watched this so many times. The raw power!
I love the image at the end. Imagine telling your great grandchildren about this time in history.
0:22 that bird has no idea what coming.
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.
I think as humans we have done some amazing things but this is the absolute pinnacle. The power required to leave the earth's atmosphere is awesome. When that Craft takes off it's just so beautiful. A fantastic video. Steve 👍
I can’t imagine what it must feel like to be on board at launch. I’ve seen interviews where they say at the end of the day you’ll either be in space or in heaven, either way you’re going someplace beautiful
This is insane, imagine the power it takes to launch this thing at these speeds
A lot😂🚀
18000 mph in 8 seconds
I read it somewhere and it actually said that the engines combined have around 30 MILLION HORSEPOWER
Yeah the space shuttle is much cooler ngl
It's something like 11,000,000 lbs of thrust
"Automatic launch sequence started". Nothing can stop what is happening!

Watch falcon heavy. Something this cool can be achieved with spending 90 million too
TieMan That rocket is significantly better then what the space shuttle ever was. Go falcon heavy!

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
Look at that.
Two solid, controlled explosions,
A massive tank of hydrogen cooled to almost as cold as you can get,
Propelling a hyper sonic reusable space plane,
Accelerating humans to 7.8Kms per second,
and taking us above everything that protects us.
My god, us humans can do some amazing stuff!

Have you forgotten the challenger explosion?
Breathtaking. My older brother helped 6 missions go up. He worked with Thiokol Corp. He help with the boosters in Utah. I'll always be proud of him for that. My attachment to the shuttle program.
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.
1:28 that's so badass!
+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.
+indiegun Lucky
Yesterday's launch was cool but...this was on another level! Nothing like the Space Shuttle.
Yep... nothing like the absurd danger of having thousands of gallons of fuel sitting meters away from you exploding, then having to do a complex separation.
@@zomg51 No one said it wasn't more dangerous. But the shuttle was undeniably cooler.

The space shuttle is my favorite rocket/launch vehicle. It gives me chills every time.
Okay okay okay, I am impressed, very, but thinking about all the UFO’s thru the years (and we don’t need to pretend they aren’t real) we need some MUCH better technology for our aircrafts/spacecrafts. And I love Q too!!
Tom Cruise at the end of Top Gun trailer looks interesting ???
@Mike Tiwaz It's the Space Shuttle you fool. It orbits the earth. Then will travel to the Space Station.
you kinda missed the point
NASA just amazes me. The fact that we are able to get a rocket off this earth, on the moon, and back safely, just fascinates me. I can't wait to see what kind of crazy inventions future generations come up with. I plan on making it possible to travel faster than light speed. I'm only 14, so I have no idea where to get started, lol.
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!
Of all the lift off stuff, to me it's not about the machine, but about the video. From what I have seen, this video is the most superb of any of take-off stuff. But the launch is mind-blowingly, weepy, piece of video
I love SpaceX and the Falcon 9, but you have to admit that this is something special. The combination of raw power of the solid fuel boosters and the grace of the shuttle strapped on like a backpack is phenomenal
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
Whoever you are who uploaded this, Thank you! This was GORGEOUS footage! Thank you Thank YOU!
ipKonfig.com You are very welcome. You are exactly why I made this video. Thanks for the positive comment!

I played this in my home theatre sound system. It felt like I was standing there watching it live. Goosebumps 🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀
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
As impressive as SpaceX is, and will continue to be, I'm certain that I'll never prefer it over the Shuttle and the Orbiters themselves. Graceful, incredible machines, that for 30 years were THE iconic spacecraft, all around the world. Stunning machines ❤️
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!
Keep coming back to this video every now and then. It really is the pinnacle of mankind.
Absolutely incredible.
Me too
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

LavelyandLeggos AreFriends "One does not HEAR the Space Shuttle’s launches" It's both. The boom hits you in several seconds and the crackle of the engines is intense. But I would rate HERE as number one. That's pretty amazing since it's across a lake.

What an awakening we are witnessing 🙏🇺🇸🥁🍿🌎
And the Best is yet to come 👍😂😂😂
Probably the best part about shuttle launches is after main ignition start, when you can see the shuttle physically straining against the launch tower, like a race horse waiting to hit the track.
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.
01:30 just brings tears of joy in my eyes and I'm not the easily amazed type of person... The sheer power is just too much. There are 2 things I'd want to see irl the most - atomic explosion and space shuttle launch.
The exhaust of those three engines 37,000,000 hp on the shuttle is water vapor. Unbelievable.
SpaceX Falcon 9 & FH launches are fantastic, the ULA launches are great, the SLS test launch was great last year, the new Starship test launch was cool and all that, but nothing will ever be as cool, as dramatic or nearly as iconic as a Space Shuttle Launch; it was such an amazing & unique design.
I cannot watch this without welling up to the point of tears of pride, awe, and joy. There simply are no words.

What I would give to see this in person.
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.

Why is this emotional for me?
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.
We've come so far since the Space Shuttle program. Now we have the Artemis program with Artemis 1 having already launched and being successful. Space Shuttle still lives on as the SLS!

To the Q team- you all have no idea what this video means to me, just no idea.

@@fringemajority8805 it was said that 5 G was changed into a harmless frequency but not sure if it is true. But yes NASA, same as c_a, was founded by Nazis.
This is so amazing it brings tears to my eyes. We humans can do anything we put our minds to. We need to bring back the shuttle. Simply amazing
Even though the shuttle was very dangerous, and expensive, and didn't have a big overall mission for 2 decades, I still think that this was the coolest spacecraft ever. This thing flies into space like a rocket, it orbits the earth like a spacecraft, and it glides down into its landing like a plane. It's an engineering marvel, and while it was necessary to move on, and design a newer, safer vehicle, I'll still miss the space shuttle. Hail the Shuttle.
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.
That's incredible how it's noisy and chaos when the shuttle is launched and after a few seconds it's so calm like nothing's happened.
it's really sad to see all of the comments downplaying the space program and saying this was faked. Really goes to show what our society has come to...
Whenever I buy a new set of speakers or headset, this is the video I play to test them.

Troy Davidson Whats wrong if he is? nosecomosellama No need to act like that dude.
It was just a word
And your just a troll
Idk why but as the count hit zero. A chill went through my body and I teared up
ACCELERATION ! ! ! THE SHUTTLE STACK SEEMS TO JUMP OFF THE MOBILE LAUNCH PLATFORM, IT CAN'T WAIT TO GET TO ORBIT IN A BIG BIG HURRY ! ! !👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
There have been instances of the frangible bolts not firing or not fracturing the nut properly......The SRBs, with a fully loaded main tank and shuttle mind you, just ripped the bolts off the pad and went to space anyways...... Scary thrust in them candles....
Q sent me. IN GOD WE TRUST. We wait at the ready.
Still pissed off I never went to see a launch live.
Amen brother!
At least we found a video that wasn't filmed with a potato.
Are they never launching a space shuttle ever again? ;P I'm sure you still have a chance.
NotTheThngs YouSaid Not at all likely. Since the fleet was retired it I don't believe it will ever fly again.
me too :(
The first launch I watched live on tv when I was a little boy about 7 or 8 years old....on that launch....space shuttle Challenger exploded in the atmosphere killing all aboard, including what was to be the first civilian astronaut, a teacher. Some things you just never forget...
Yes I think I am about your age. Was told at a San Francisco schoolyard privately that the thing exploded and it was likely all 7 onboard were dead. I could not believe that. I can feel for a boy who was so scared at the thought of killing seven like that. Yet, thats how our future programs can only develop.
From a showmanship standpoint, nothing beats a shuttle launch... *NOTHING* !
Incredible. That never gets old or "normal". Such Power!!
Much lol !
"T minus 17 seconds and counting" Indeed ;)
ruclips.net/video/W2NjH1EXH0c/видео.html STS-121 launch countdown starts way before 17... as evidenced by other videos.
I could watch this 1,000 times and my eyes would still water every damn time..
It is a very emotional event because this shows what humans can accomplish.

I agree, however sadly, that phrase can highlight the other side of the coin.
From living in caves to this... It's unbelievable.
The car alarms going off in the background tells you of the real power of this engine.
Much love Wales 🏴 UK 🇬🇧
How far are you from Pembrokeshire? I have ancestry from Wales.👍
@@robin6290 we’re about an hour or so away xxxx
From KENNEDY Space Center. I see what you did there Q.
Bingo !
Wow, didn't think of that. Symbolic. Thanx.
Takeoff in T-17 and negative return.
Thank you for adding no music
I love that BOOM sound when the SRB rockets fire.
Same here, you don't hear that very often in launch recordings
Thank you from Canada 🇨🇦 ! God Bless 🙏 Liberty and Freedom for All.
The hardest thing for us to do right now is set aside our opinions, and come together. Don't argue over Corona's origin, or masks, etc. Focus on freedom, and standing as 1 people. God bless you all.

You can hear the doppler effect. The sound gets lower and lower as the shuttle accelerates.
A shuttle launch never ceases to amaze me with it’s sheer awesomeness.
Counting down...
#Q sent me #WWG1WGA
Nothing can stop what is coming
I am ready
?
T minus 17 seconds and counting..
Nicely done.
Q sent me
I dont think anyone even noticed the countdown started at 17, except you and me...
What's the significance behind the number 17?,
@@arshiaparsheh1568 Q is the 17th letter of the alphabet. President acknowledges the Q movement by often saying or tweeting the number 17.
For great info go to RUclips and watch "The Great Awakening ".

@@desertfairychickres4021 Can the 17 also be a countdown? Like in 17 days will something big happen?,
Why do I appreciate those MORE, now in the era of technically superior reuseable rockets?
Despite its flaws you can't deny the space shuttle was one great magnificent machine
The overcomplicated solutions to unnecessary problems don't make it any less magnificent.
Imagine how it must feel during that countdown to be aboard that thing.
Sitting there thinking about how in a few minutes you're going to be in space, somewhere so few have ever been, the pride and anticipation these people must feel as the rockets ignite beneath them is crazy, then once you've broken orbit and the main rockets disconnect....thats it, you're there, there is no turning back now.
Every single thing you have ever known and every single thing humanity has every known in its entirety is left behind on a blue dot that's getting increasingly smaller, then to see the stars, distant planets like mars as well as our own planet in perspective must be life-changing, how do you come home and continue paying taxes and listening to everyday pointless drama after you've seen how small we are and what is out there.
LASER BEAK couldn’t have said it any better
Well stated!
Imagine if space itself is a hoax, there's no such thing or place that anyone or anything ever has been or ever will be or can possibly go. You may not have to imagine, it might just be true.

Interestingly close to the jet engine test stand motto at the Fargo Air Nat'l Guard F-16 base: "Thrust You Can Trust".
The most Epic spaceplane ever engineered, attempted and made functional - and may never happen again
From ROFI ignition to engine start to the "twang" to liftoff to clearing the tower to rolling to the azimuth and climbing uphill, there's just something about how a Space Shuttle launch looks that hasn't been equaled before or since.
T minus 17 seconds and counting!
New Q follower here!
We have been patiently waiting. Welcome aboard 🚂🚢🚀. 🇺🇸TRUMP2020🇺🇸
Glad to have you. WWG1WGA. God bless you
WOW! This is first time I've been awestruck at the noise and power of a rocket launch!
I actually play this whole thing on my earbuds as im about to get ready to start my 5 mile run. At liftoff is when I take off as well. When they announce Negative Return, i switch over to my music. Makes for an awesome mind boost.
NOTHING CAN STOP WHAT IS COMING! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💓💓💓💓💓💓💓
What is coming? I feel like Q has been pretty vague on what will actually go down. I know we are supposed to be the ones to shepard people into this new era, but I feel like we have not really been given the full play book at this point. What am I supposed to tell my parents when they start freaking out? Just telling them that I knew the whole time is not really going to make them feel any better, it almost seems like rubbing it in at that point. Should we have some food ready or will the grocery store still be open?
@@highflying4688 the swamp is about to be drained. No need to worry Trump and the Patriots have it under control. Grab some popcorn 🍿 and watch the show.
Q confirmed. T minus 17. We have Lift off. Nothing can stop us now. We have entered orbit. #WWG1WGA
Of course you should have some food because we’re going into uncharted territory’s. This is biblical. Get right with God and be ready for anything. All will be exposed & they may retaliate & only God knows what exactly happens next. The bible gives us a good idea though.
Lmao all of you people are insane..
From Canada, thank you and god bless q!!
I would loved to have seen one launch in real life! Totally amazing the heat coming off that thing 🥰🤩🤩
I was lucky enough to see two launches live. One on the 4th of July and the second was a night launch. When the night launch happened, for a second it looked like the Sun was suddenly on the horizon. Unbelievable
i will NEVER get tired of watching this or listening to that awesome rippling sound
Its so loud the shockwave was detected 1100 miles away.
