I'm still pretty much in awe this can even happen at all. One of my favorite things about the shuttle landing at Edwards AFB was hearing the two sonic booms over Los Angeles, especially if I didn't know it was returning that day, Very reassuring.
Marvellous camera work. My absolute favourite Space Shuttle landing video !
The Space Shuttle was one of the most extraordinary space vehicles ever!
not really it was kinda just a flying school bus, was overly expensive to launch, and only refurbishable, and sure, it put up some great things and helped the discovery of many great things, its not that great in it of itself
It was conceived as re-usuable, therefore economical launching vehicle.
but at the end, it costed more than conventional use once rockets.
so the program was discontinued.
@@Henby As the video demonstrates, the system was hugely specialized and expensive to maintain. A specialized frame rolls out to install a specialized engine cover on the orbiter, which is then lifted by a specialized crane onto a specialized carrier plane. Afterward, the three main engines had to be completely rebuilt, the 24,000 heat tiles had to be hand-inspected, and the solid rocket boosters had to be refurbished at a cost of more than just buying them new each time. I don't know what engineers originally planned, but that was a very expensive way to get to space.
@@texaswunderkind Give us examples of other new technologies that were rolled out and never improved upon.
@@davidjacobs8558 then again all the other programs launched like 12 missions meanwhile the shuttle launched 135
NASA and these pilots make this look so easy. What stunning beauty! 💛🙏🏼
NASA stole the ideas from German scientists after ww2
It's even more impressive when you realize that in this stage, the space shuttle is basically a giant heavy glider! And they still managed to land with it so smoothly. Just beautiful! Space shuttle and Saturn V are still my absolute favorite space vehicles. :)
A giant heavy glider with the aerodynamics of a brick
@@threestrikesmarxman9095 compare it to Artemis or SpaceX's capsule now please. It's a miracle that back then people were smart enough to design systems that would make that brick land back at AFB like a glider
@@threestrikesmarxman9095 it was designed like that it's a space shuttle not an airplane and if u played star citizen or elite dangerous then you would know those are space ships just like the rl shuttle
@@skiesarentthesame, Van Allen belts exist between 800 km and 36000 km I think. This Space shuttle was flying up to 400 km.
Pipe down.whats is it doing breaking sound barrier if it was a glider.
Everything glides blockhead .
You talk so much rubbish
Isten óvja az amerikai nemzetet! Üdvözlet Magyarországról.
It never ceases to amaze me how that big heavy shuttle under glide power only was precisely landed every time! No margin for error on landing!
"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic". This is why we should always price knowledge above anything else.
Only huge margin of error when exploding
@@RMTRONICS
No shuttles actually 'exploded'.
They practiced thousands of landings.
It is beautiful to see it touchdown safely...thank God.
landing a frickin glider from space to tarmac, supersonic to subsonic in about 3 mins with no go arounds and a beautiful rollout. I could watch these videos all day. What an amazing group of Pilot's they were/are!
Three minutes, no. It takes about an hour.
@@jrockett73 I'm talking about the final phase. I'm not retarded.
@@n1msu your reply could be a bit more gracious though
@@PA28Ace somebody who writes a smartass message to me isn't going to get a gracious reply. How would you have replied? You know nothing about my qualifications and neither does this kid. If I wanted basic space shuttle re entry times, I'd check wikipedia. A smartass 14 year old reading wiki and thinking he's a rocket scientist as a result (jrocket). Bore off. Give me facts when you've finished your MSc/ PhD in astrophysics
@@n1msu How many shuttle missions did you command?
okay but why are these videos actually cool as hell
If you have to ask why - then you don't get it I suppose. LOL
@@greggriffin3998 sigh
I rarely missed a landing. Brought tears to my eyes every time. What a beautiful piece of kit.
That's awsome I would've loved to see just one landing. Were you there when columbia didn't make it? I'd have to imagine the erie feeling. Very sad day
Hate myself for never watching a launch or landing
@@BiggHogg870 Thankfully not. It would have put me off for ever.
Жаль не выгодный
Gives me goosebumps! What a beautiful machine.
Precise flight, perfect landing, exciting!
Salute to the heroes!
精准的飞行，完美的着陆。
向英雄致敬！
Super Class smooth landing towards exploration
Amazing vehicle
I have been watching this vehicle since 1981.
Changed my life ambitions
Made my lfe better.
Saluting the space shuttle.
It's so impressive and amazing! Thank you.
Too perfect
Que Emoção assistir um Feito histórico 👏🏻👏🏻
In all the years, all the flights, all my reading and watching, I never had any idea that the aft flap below the main engine bells was articulated!
A thirty-year program with 135 missions, and even now, nearly a decade after the program ended, I'm still learning cool new stuff about it.
I love how there were actually people inside the tail cone while it was being cranked into position.
STS-1 nearly aborted due to the body flap being pushed out of position by the dynamic stresses of launch. The body flap is clearly seen in action in the chase plane videos. The shuttle was amazingly beautiful as a gliding spacecraft. Must be some reason for 25 years of taxpayers not wanting to get rid of it.
RIP space shuttles. Incredible video!!
I miss our beloved Space Shuttles
Me to makes me sad nasa and space program are gone :(
Have always liked the space shuttle, such a beautiful big bird.
Increíble que está nave espacial regresaba a la tierra como un avion
These footages are clear...good job👍
あの頃は毎回 飛び立って行くニュースを楽しみにしてたよ。👍
一度だけ とても悲しいニュースがあった過去があるが宇宙開発の歴史上 最も躍進 出来たスペースシャトルがもたらした貢献度は高いね！
good job 👍
Depois de décadas de aflições,numa jornada de incertezas em um mundo sombrio, uma máquina de retorno do espaço mais humana,porque sempre é bom manter boas aparências.
Love Space Shuttle Program ❤️
Thanks for upload..!

It almost looks unreal.... Its too perfect....
Beautiful....
Well said and always trust your senses. If it looks to "unreal to be believable" then go with that inner intuition as your senses are your default safety mechanisms to keep you safe/alive/ prosperous in this physical world consciousness experience we are having.
Frikkin AWESOME
I was up early in the morning to see Columbia's first launch. In school when Challenger exploded. At work when Columbia broke up. Then saw the final lift off of Atlantis and her landing for the programs final time. Fact: One of the programs final crew members(Doug Hurley) was one of the first two(with Bob Behnken) who went back into space onboard Crew Dragon Demo 2. Behnken was also a veteran of a Shuttle mission.
Bausteine auf Einander....Vielen Dank für die Bemühungen
Exciting for me, it was being in Cape Canaveral, and passing meters from this launch pad. It was an unforgettable day, I want to go back and enjoy it even more than the first time.
beautiful
Totally AMAZING!
Miss the shuttles and the sonic booms, I have seen the shuttles come back on the 747 a hand full of times flying over my house as they where about to land at the space center here in Florida which is only 20 minutes away from me.
Lucky man
We all miss the Space Shuttle!!
Sure, it was a 1960s concept with 1970s tech, was expensive and, in a way, 'fragile,' but it was SOOOOO much cooler than plopping a capsule down in the ocean. And, in a way even, cooler than a self-landing rocket, a lá SpaceX.
After the first few missions, it was apparent they underestimated the turn-around time and cost, but were committed. And I'm glad they kept it going as long as they did!
If only America had a new space launch platform ready to go the moment the Shuttles were retired. (We should also have had a SST ready to go as soon as the Concorde was retired, IMHO!) 👍✌️
I have a feeling we'll never see anything like the Shuttles again. Not for a hundred years or more, when we'll have the tech to routinely get to space with airplane-spaceships with fancy powerplants (ion drives??? 🤔) Something like Star Trek, where a craft can take off and not be strapped to a rocket. I can dream!!!)
It should make all Americans proud, and I have no problems with America being a leader in space exploration! We need to up our game!!!
Take care everyone.
Fantastic landings✈️
Indeed it was a Marvel of Technology
Great watch for me. Thanks.
The NASA people mover ( white with orange stripe) is at the Flight Test Museum where I volunteer at Edwards AFB. It’s really cool!
Amazing footage here

آرزوی موفقیت برای خود و کشور تان .
Superb beautiful HD video ever see as a Space Shuttle landing.

AMAZING AND AWESOME FLYING MACHINE ! ! !
Fantastic
I wonder if these guys ever go from flying the space shuttle to a single engine plane ? I would imagine it would be refreshing to fly a small plane after that.
Same
Yes, Eric Boe the last pilot for Discovery started out flying single engine planes in the Civil Air Patrol. He went into the Air Force and went through the Air Force Test Pilot School before becoming and astronaut. He still flys single engine planes.
Their is a Shuttle Simulator that you can fly in Huntsville AL at the NASA Space museum there.
Oddly, flying the Shuttle is very much a practice in running through check lists. There is one for everything. You should do the same for single engine planes.
They're all military pilots flying F14 f16 F18. Jets
This is the most terrifing and most awesome thing mankind has built, what brave people. I would never get in that thing.
muy buen video saludos from chile
Salute CHILE, HAPPY 2022!!!
Wonderful good landing
Wish I was old enough to remember the shuttle launch
Enjoy your youth. I wish I wasn’t old enough to remember lol.
I reported the comments as spam, thank you
@@MechDesignTV what comments?
There were some other comments with spam, VJ Rei mentioned them and I reported and deleted them. No big deal, it was unrelated to your discussion
Well I was alive to see the last launch but never remembered it
Such grace
I do miss these
That's twenty first century exactly useful for all humanity starting from USA the great as first pioneer of highest technology ever of course.. wonderful skyskills and SPACE activities especially NASA
I so wish I could have seen it land in person.
Best footage ever

It's really awesome..#love from Guwahati.

What a smooth landing that is without doubt one of the greatest manmade space craft what museums have them now atb from the uk
thanks for flying nasa.welome back.
Q. Ever wondered why it's 2 sonic booms and not one? (@00:24mn)
A. Because the shuttle is so large (122 feet long), you will hear the sonic booms created by both the nose and tail shock waves (they occur about one-half second apart).
It's an unpredictable, exciting, gripping video.
这是一个不可预测的、令人兴奋的、扣人心弦的视频。
The space shuttle is rerired
Felicitaciones mision sts 128
Ахуеть.....и что это такое......?!?!?;?
Americans have turned scientific fantasy into reality, the world is unique, and Americans have created human civilization and miracles.
America's scientists are worthy heroes.
美国人把科学幻想变成了现实，世界独一无二，美国人创造了人类文明和奇迹。 美国的科学家是当之无愧的英雄。
Spent many hours at Dryden for orbiter landing and turnaround. I see lots of friends in this video. Got to fly in the pathfinder aircraft, usually a C-130 or C-141 that carried a small crew of techs, inspectors, and a Thermal Protection System engineer, and some orbiter equipment back to KSC. The pathfinder aircraft also did just that, flew the planned route a few miles ahead of the SCA/Orbiter to ensure no precipitation was on the route. At ferry flight speed rain could damage the insulating tiles, and certain tiles would wick up the rain since their waterproofing burned out at just over 1000 deg. F. Turns out that ferry flight was hard on the quartz fabric gap fillers. The relatively sustained low speed/high density air impinged on gap fillers and thermal barriers causing erosion. KSC landings were the preferred landing site for many reasons.
Thank you for sharing all that!

Thank you Sir for sharing your experience. BTW what is the purpose of the fan tied to that pick-up truck
@@vikrantsatpute9984 Generally the fans were used to blow any toxic gasses out of the area.
@@charlieromeo7663 Ammonia from ammonia boilers? Or something else?
God made man. Man made this amazing thing. 👏👏👏👏
I love this Machine. They infected me with this special Spacevirus if i was (i think) 5 years old. I know, i know, this is only another same story out of a million but..... I LOVE THAT F.......ing Machine^^
Now im 43 Years old and i have Water in the eyes from this Pictures.
We need to use the space shuttles again because it is one of the most paramount technology that mankind ever invented similar to airplanes
43:20 that is very impressive! Slow as fuck, but very impressive!
Beautiful bird
着陸時のパラシュートがかわいいですね。
NO DOUBT SPACE SHUTTLE WAS EXPENSIVE BUT IT COULD FULFILL MANY VARIED MISSION REQUIREMENTS AND WE NEED THAT CAPABILITY NOW!!!
amazing
While the Space Shuttle Discovery is landing on the runway, and it came to a slowly halt. It sounded like I heard airplane noises, it almost sounded like fighter jets or flying by.
What was that noise in the background, when Discovery came to a very slow and sudden halt on the runway ?
Sonic booms or also: Discovery ringing the doorbell
Todos muito privilegiados em tocar neste ônibus , trabalhar neste ônibus , fazendo parte da história deste ônibus espacial 🥰😍🥰😍
NASA AEROSPACE ENGINEERING AND INNOVATION AT IT'S BEST!!!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

@@Midnight_34 Maybe They Already Have???
i'm just gonna say. the host talked right over the sonic booms.
Уникално. Браво.

It's not landing, it's falling super-stylishly. By rights they should have named at least one of these glorious vessels 'Bumblebee'.
Awesome
What can I say? Amazing!
Would love if SpaceX converted Starship into a horizontal landing vehicle with wings instead air glider flaps.
Anyone else notice the sign that read “Shuttel MDD”?!?! That drove me mad lol 😂
Same here
Probably some Indian working there
It stands for mate demate device
@@SanjanaRanasingha fuck off
@@SanjanaRanasingha So frigging ignorant and rude! 🖕
Fantastic Amazing USA !!!!
And Christer Fuglesang from Sweden👌🏼👌🏼
My deepest regret is schools today don't have their children appreciate everything the astronauts in these vehicles have accomplished!
Smoth touchdown
Rick Sturckow was a hard lander. On 117 and 128 one could see the main gear hit the runway surface quite fast vertically. Unlike Crippen, Gibson or others. To not be in any doubt wether they actually landed. Must be from his F-18-nning days....
Go navy.
To forget All previous period and start fresh even from ZERO only by science and scientists pilots male or female as well ASTRONAUTS too... Only to whom concern... FANTASTIC really
พัฒนาต่อไป
Sts 128 said thank you sts 128 crew
Super..i likr too
What's the vehicle with the spinning machine in the 13:50 for?
@1:45 he says time to touchdown in 2 minutes. Exactly 2 minutes later it touches the runway... Wow!
Well, they do have actual timelines of what's to take place at what time and what to do at that time in the mission.
Holly crap, zoom out zoom out zoom out already....sheeeeeesh
The speaker talk during the double sonic boom,ok!
nice...God bless all

After you see the shuttle in person, watching this doesn't do it justice on how big she really is.
