      Errrr.... all the physics are wrong. Space Shuttles don't got from 0-100km/h in 1 second after the engines fire, if you ever watch a shuttle launch they don't move for the first couple of seconds because it has to turn thrust into forward inertia for millions of kilograms of weight.
      Then when he had engine separation the engines simply fell off the side like they were feathers caught in the wind, ignoring the fact they were providing all the thrust given to the shuttle and the shuttle only has inertia until the secondaries kick in. What really happens is the explosive bolts that hold them on blow and make the engines slowly peel away from the shuttle while moving at relatively the same speed and when the second stage kicks in the shuttle pulls away from the primary engines.

    This does a good job of showing just how much less dense hydrogen (orange) is compared to Kerosene/RP1 (red). It's one of the major considerations when choosing a fuel for a rocket. Hydrogen has more energy per unit mass, but lower energy density (in terms of volume). This means larger tankage. Plus it's cryogenic and a pain in the ass to manage compared to kerosene.

      It’s one of the things sadly the shuttle program never gets enough credit... for all intents and purposes, the boosters and 3 integral mains lifted 135 tons (maximum) to LEO... there was no reason why another payload (other than a shuttle) couldn’t have been lifted in exactly the same way. Or even a refueling tank devised to launch into orbit in place of the shuttle. Then Dock, and have more than enough fuel for perhaps a mission to the moon? Certainly the 30 ton cargo bay could have held all types of lunar equipment. And with the abundance of fuel available, capable of a “braking” return orbit to earth.

      Well no, this shows the massive INefficiency of a rocket based on a hydrogen sustainer engine.

I bet in 2050 there will be no manned missions to orbit (automation will progress, robots will be cheaper). I bet in 2050 Hollywood space movies will be even more stupid than today (I expect the plot to be like the self-pity thoughts of child trans-gender captain), so less people will be even interested in space.

And the third were 6 USAF satellites + a bunch of cubesats (more or less 2000 kg). And of course recovering all three boosters on the last two launches.

In a comparison like this, you have to consider everything above the S-IB as payload, and that's a lot of fuel weight.
      Skylab was only launched into LEO and it did so using just the S-IB and S-IVB. It's amazing how exponentially the size of a rocket grows the more weight you add to the payload.

      @@burggerbig102 size of the tank is one thing, but the density causes the thrust to be much lower (otherwise you'd need combustion chamber with very large volume, in order to push out lots of mass), hence combining efficient hydrolox with inefficient solid boosters to compensate for this lack of thrust.

      If you compare the Falcon Heavy to an Delta IV Heavy, which doesnt has those big SRBs, the burn times get closer (FH: 187s, Delta: 328). Still about double the burn time for HydroLox, but a much smaller ratio, than with the SRBs

      The video is correct -- the vast majority of shuttle flights used "direct insertion" trajectories which omit the OMS-1 burn. "Standard insertion" trajectories were used early in the program due to uncertainty in SSME performance in flight conditions and later when the required destination orbit would result in the ET impacting over land.

    Not sure if someone already commented on this but in case you didn’t know the reason why it looks like a thin line is burning down the length of the solid rocket boosters is because they have a hollow core so that the entire length of the rocket is burning to produce maximum thrust.

      @LordGroyper Depends on the engine really. Some engines use ablative cooling for their nozzles and that's what you can see, because some of the nozzle's material gets mixed with the exhaust.

    • @TheNoneMan
      @TheNoneMan 4 года назад +2

      They expand cuz the air pressure outside gets lower relative to the exhaust pressure. That's another reason to use stages, since engine bells are designed with specific curve, which matches some pressure range. FYI, it's bad if exhaust expands to sides, since it is not contributing that energy to rocket's speed
