NASA video: Space shuttle Endeavour final launch

[TeflonRick123]

Not Bad

[MrRRmovies]

i can cry about this the last endeavour mission.

good bye endeavour

[BaronHerezus]

It would really be awesome if every nation would just stop with any hostility toward anybody, and all together with combine forces develop 1 bad ass space program, and start to explore space.

O well atleast i can dream :P

[bahamiangreek101]

That take off was really awesome.

[Southwestairlines737]

and now we wait the long wait till the SLS comes out agh!!! anticipation is gonna kill us space geeks

[TheJediSlayer7]

Endeavour is my most favorite space shuttle. It's a shame to see it never be able to fly again. I look forward to the Orion Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle.

[Lowgaen11]

@TheJediSlayer7 so what makes ir your fav? just curious.

[TheJediSlayer7]

@Lowgaen11 The name has always sounded attractive to me. Endeavoring to push ourselves beyond what we can do. 

[1977ritchiemohammed]

great take off

[JorJorArmany]

i always have speaker test with this video, NASA FTW ;)

[slcastanon]

that waz freakin awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[barthoedemaker]

Bankers or not important, yet they are paid more than engineers and mechanics...

[CoreyIsTheName]

Humans are amazing.

[TheGraffitial3x]

:D wwoooooooaaaaaahhh

[iixrhy3xx]

GOOD NIGHT AND GOD BLESS And god bless America

[leelyndaa]

In 1959 was invented the microship,in only 10years1969 spaceship invented and sent to the moon the apple advance computer made in 1980.Then what computer was invented in 1969 to send the space ship to the moon? It all was invented thousands of years ago like the computers in the Atlantic City which had cold and hot water yet we now in existance was not there but appear again new.We are material living in a material world that always exist yet other gain thru old knowledge get the credit for .

[guitarnashelter]

we need a mission to phobos,buzz aldrin is right on that one. the shuttle is pointless goin back n forth to that stinkin iss

[CakeOrDeath88]

I just would like to say after reading many comments that the space program is going no where. All the people crying about the evil government taking the shuttle away should stfu and grow a brain. The Shuttle was a piece of shit that got us no where. NASA is looking into an updated "Saturn V" design that will take us to Mars and back. Is everyone happy now? All that took was a quick google search. Glad the shuttle era is over good riddance! Lets take the next giant leap for mankind now.

[honorsocietyfanjkm]

i muted this, and listened to the star wars theme song =)

[TobiGoodBoy11001]

@honorsocietyfanjkm hahaha same here

[ThePTB]

@honorsocietyfanjkm It's funny you should say that. I muted it so I could hear the sound of my lady gagging on my cock.

[pierswang]

America has the most advanced technology in the world, no doubt.

respect from china

[lexichronicle2]

I am really sad to see the end of the shuttles, but I think we need to keep it in perspective. The shuttles were great when satellites needed constant repair and upgrade, and they needed space on board to do experiments. Now, it's cheaper to just launch a new satellite and with have the ISS, which is far, far bigger than the shuttle and can stay in orbit for decades, providing a permanent platform. There is no point pouring endless cash into something that does a poorer job than the ISS.

[MrJackStill]

@lexichronicle2 The shuttle was vital in building the ISS. It's a shame when you compare military funding with space funding as military funding is so much higher. You don't hear as many people complaining about that. If NASA got just a fraction of that money it could develop the new SLS and keep the shuttle in service.

[slim22rj]

Nice job americans, greetings from brazil.

[CryptWarrior69]

amazing piece of machinery right there, i hope our american friends will make a replacement soon :(, we really need to start setting up a base on the moon and beyond hopefully in my lifetime , rather cut 50 billion from the military and hand it over to NASA would be awesome

[septemberfourten2009]

ARIZONA = UTOYA = THERE WAS NO SHOOTING EITHER IN NORWAY OR ARIZONA, BUT “AFTERLIFE” FLASH MOB INSTEAD !!

Tear gas and theater were used on faces of multiculturalism maniacs while calling YOU a terrorists !!

911(TWIN TOWERS) = NORWAY BOMBING OR STATE SPONSORED TERRORISM, HOWEVER, WAS REAL !!

STOLTENBERG = BREIVIK ! STOP THE GOVERNMENT TERRORISM AND TERROR AGAINST WHITES WORLDWIDE !!

OBAMA = OSAMA

MULTYCULTURALISM = TERRORISM

@septemberfourten2009 You're an idiot...

[RAPunkforeverGD]

@septemberfourten2009 Moron.

[mkid33]

@CobaltiSickle Yeah...

[mkid33]

WAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII­IIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT­TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT­TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT­TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT.........­. Next to last shuttle flight? did they stop sending shuttles up? D:

[jedihunter176]

I personally find it hilarious that this is on RUSSIAToday. Does anyone else agree?

[CobaltiSickle]

The poor Space Core must be devastated...

[WarIncProductions]

i was tehr for the lauch but it got scraped because of promblems....i have the coin for it thoiugh!

[METBOY215]

@4groundskeeperwillie The ending of the shuttle program had little to do with congress. Since the shuttles were coming close to there service life and the Columbia accident Nasa had no choice but to retire the shuttles. plus it costs 1.7 billion to launch a shuttle.Do you understand that the gov is about to default on loans? What do you do when your about to run out of money? you cut the fat and 1.7 billion dollars is alot of fat to cut so do your homework before you start blaming the gov.

[EpiDemic117]

@METBOY215 well that's actually inacurate. It was probably sometihngo n the line of a billion

but it's actually 400mil per launch.

[Honkynees]

@4GroundsKeeperWillie from the way things look I have to agree with your statement.

[OlderG0ds]

It isn't like NASA is closing down. They figured they unmanned aircraft are the way now. Until we can figure another type of space craft to carry people to other planets and beyond.

[Firebutton]

@OlderG0ds You're right. I'm pretty sure that they're still going ahead with the Orion CEV. They just cancelled the Ares Rocket it was going to be carried on. The Orion CEV, I believe, will still be carried on another rocket type into space.

[BlueRoseRocketBand2]

the end of the shuttle program isnt sad??

So now what?

We put on our 3-D glasses and be content with fantasy?

What shall we tell our childrens children

We do not see or hear the beaconing of the stars anymore.

Sadly we have become more concerned with coveting another man property and wealth and calling" it shared sacrafice!"

[AfortheFOXXX]

Yeahh, i saw this live on my iPhone

[eanielsen123]

the end of the shuttle program isnt sad. all the money were wasting on these shuttle launches is pointless now. we know the universe is too big to get anywhere in a shuttle and with the shuttle program active, NASA has no mission. Now they can fund projects that give NASA a purpose once again.

[megoins73]

If we didn't change then we would've never had the shuttle. We're doing the right thing. I get that the Shuttle was an Iconic American achievement. Its time to do bigger things!!!! It does suck about the jobs though.. But we gotta move on.

[megoins73]

hey Everyone.  You do realize that it was Pres. Bush that decided to end the shuttle program in 2004, right? just some food for thought. While I agree its sad we're losing the shuttle program. We do need to spend our money to get a new vehicle and do new things.!!!!

[outsideintelljr98]

by cutting the nasa funding obama is cutting 120,000ths jobs and millions of dream thumbs up get this herd

[MrNathanDanger]

Get your ass to Mars...

[brasteen1]

@MrNathanDanger I hope we get there someday.

[bikemtn]

NASA GOES TO MARS FIRST!!!!!

[bikemtn]

Lets go to MARS FIRST!!!! The race is on people!!!

[MrZazzles94]

Ive got my money on Russia reaching Mars first, what does everyone else think?

[halo27legend]

@MrZazzles94 screw Mars. Nothing to see there. Deep space or bust...

[bikemtn]

@MrZazzles94 I think the Russians want to get to mars first, forget the moon, we need to go to mars! sounds crazy but it sounded crazy going to to the moon too! NASA GOES TO MARS!!!!

[steveo451]

@championonwheels they about to get the bomb the fuk up

[Dstock8106]

@championonwheels You're pathetic.

[CCPlaetean]

@championonwheels how ignorant can one person be

[TheJojoeffect]

@championonwheels They aren't necessarily from Afghanistan

[PeteZ28]

@championonwheels Or 10 people like me that drove 1,100 miles to Florida, got up at 3:30am to catch a tour bus, and made it all the way to the NASA Causeway only to find out the launch is scrubbed.

[theLAngeles1]

@championonwheels look im american but i dont think that ur comment is good. this is prejudice. the bad peoples are the terrorists. not the population of afeganistain. be careful wiht ur comment cause our country is in a big crisis. we unfortunatelly are paying for all of we did. bye :)

[lexichronicle2]

@theLAngeles1 "the bad peoples are the terrorists. not the population of afeganistain."

Glad to see some others pointing that out. It's sad that it's degraded to this on a NASA video and that it's gotten so many thumbs up. People interested in this video should be more intelligent than to stoop to that.

[0valle0]

@championonwheels Oh right,because everyone in Afghanistan is a terrorist? Moron.

[NoShortColinPowell]

@championonwheels nice stereotyping, asshole

[zh354]

@championonwheels Amazing arrogance! you must be American!! -_-

[GhostNappaVEVO]

@zh354 Amazing ignorance! you must be a muslim!! -_-

[TheDevenrocks]

@zh354 Fucking muslim terrorist. How do you have internet in your dirty country?

[artur4467]

@championonwheels i liked it but its prejudice.

[ychilds99]

What, NO high definition.?! It's just plain silly nowadays. Cheap!

[teddyballgame09]

An end to an era for NASA . Hopefully the start of a new launch vehicle .

[EYEWEWPE]

Humans are smart enough to travel to space, but not smart enough to control their own numbers and avoid wiping out the global food supply in 39 years.

[TheStoryOfJohnny]

@How2Q Alright, everyone listen up.

This flight you just watched was the final launch of the 30 year OLD shuttle program. NOT the end of space exploration. NASA is merely shutting down the old program so they can start their new one. The old program was a waste of resources for NASA, and it's jobs given to smaller space agencies (jobs like resupplying space stations). This frees up NASA to focus on the manned exploration of mars, and meteorite research. This is a new era in space exploration!

[TheFlowersparks21]

your parents n teachers tell yhue 'you could be an astronaut someday!' there goes yhur hope n dreams

[TheStoryOfJohnny]

@TheFlowersparks21 Why? The new programs will increase the need for more scientists and 'astronauts' in the agency; making this the best time in history to (quite literally) aim for the stars.

[chugaboy]

Welcome to the second era of the dark ages. NASA, you will be missed.

[dandarya]

now how the hell will we find the pillars and help the autobots?

[EmilyEvans17]

there goes my dreams on going tot he moon

[twilightluva15]

No way in hell would I ever be able to be an astronaut.

[kromed01]

The people who actually run the USA, Council on Foreign Relations, prefers to spend American tax on bombing innocent country and stealing their oil than space exploration.

[princessbarbie18]

432322

[prokiddude]

@How2Q don't worry the Russian's and private space companies got that covered

[timd941]

@4GroundsKeeperWillie I agree but the space shuttle is 30 years old, we've had 2 disasters of it, it needs to go as much as we don't want it. It's aging and it's time to say farewell to the space shuttle.

[moko1117]

I'm going to miss the space shuttle. I don't know why people say they didn't accomplish anything. Look up your facts.

[jonathan6272]

wish i could see that in real life

[orangemouth]

Wonder if they're staying out of space for other reasons...

[wineverytime1]

At $196 billion, the amount of money taxpayers spent during the lifetime of the space shuttle program seems astronomical.

But the entire federal government spends that much in just three weeks. In big bucks Washington, even $196 billion is relative.

[redneckhillbilly23]

me and my dad r going on a cruise and we will get to see the finale space shuttle lauch so excited!!!!!!:)

[supportisrael35]

Good for Obama to shut this crap down. Space flight is racist, what America needs is more equality

[IIZODIIAC]

@supportisrael35 lol funny joke

[321bigman1]

Why why is nasa stopping space exploration please send me an email explaining why at

brumley.justice@yahoo.com

[TheGlock80]

Why did is america stopping space exploration?

No more money?

[IIZODIIAC]

@TheGlock80 actualy that realy is the reason, Obama said himself that he doesnt know how America will be able to pay back all the money they owe so no they definitely can not afford billion dollar space programs

[TheStoryOfJohnny]

@TheGlock80 Who said they are stopping? They are simply ending their old program so that they can concentrate on important projects such as meteor research and interplanetary flights.

[kbot22ridin]

it makes me proud to be a human being when i see beautiful machines like this BUT!!! the shuttle technology is over 40 years old an thats kind a sad we need a new space race wit new technology

[TheStoryOfJohnny]

@kbot22ridin That's exactly why the program is being shut down. Now 100% of NASAs top scientists can work on new technology :)

[gregknightstemplar]

i see black ufo diac in the back round .!!!

[barthoedemaker]

What a thrill to be in that seat, strapped to a bom going off blasting you into space

[CrystEarthPaw]

i lived in fort pierce for 7 years back when i was little, we used to go to the beach all the time and watch the shuttles launch over the ocean, it was inspired me to study cosmology and astronomy, i used to always want to go into space someday, now that the shuttles are being retired it really is sad. here's to the crews that have piloted these shuttles since their beginning.

[mzzxr]

@BlackOpsFilm wow really :( i would have been sooo angry!! im going to the states in august unfortunately after atlantis' launch :(

[brianpaton]

I've lived in Melbourne, FL for 18 years and I've always been able to watch shuttle launches from out of my bedroom window. It makes me sad that the shuttle program is ending and that when I get older and perhaps have kids, they'll never get to see one of these in real life. Hopefully at some point in the near future we'll return to space, the Moon and eventually visit Mars.That would really be something.

[gregknightstemplar]

look close you will see black disc shaped ufo in the backround !

[phxracing42]

@gregknightstemplar where

[rockytop2117]

My dream has always been to go to the moon. Now that they are shutting it down it greatly hurts me :(

[tehsolidbeast]

@rockytop2117 We are going back to the moon in 2015-2020 and we are going to mars sometime around 2030

[Kanig94]

no wayy

does a shuttle reach outer space in 3 minutes?

[tehsolidbeast]

@Kanig94 Well no it takes more then that, but for example it takes about 15 hours for the Saturn V to reach the moon.

[ausuzuki]

ooo.. you humans....

[FastFerrari82]

what will the next shuttle(s) look like??

[pauze3232]

why can't nasa ever show the shuttle going into space or coming back to orbit. Why can't we see the whole mission from beginning to end from out the front window where the pilots sit. why can't we go back to deep orbit. If the Saturn 5 did it a bunch then why not bring it back out and go again. Why do they sneak these shuttles back in the middle of the night without letting anyone know until its back. Somethings fishy. I can't believe people actually believe this garbage!!!!!

[gyudi215]

end of an area;(..

[bombarderoazul]

This program should have been cancelled a long time ago, each flight costs over a billion dollars and the shuttle can only stay in space for a few weeks because it runs on batteries.

[dubz06jnr]

@bombarderoazul oh and you would prefer that the USA spends 663 BILLION on defence? surely we should be exploring space as humankind, rather than wiping eachother off the face of the earth?

[bombarderoazul]

@dubz06jnr I agree with you too on that, the defense budget is way too high, but really my point about the space shuttle is that, this program did nothing to advance our exploration of space in any way. We can't go to mars with it, it's old technology designed for low earth orbit. What we need are programs that will take us to mars or to an asteroid, we have been stuck in low earth orbit for too long. But the way it looks now, the chinese will beat us to it.

[dubz06jnr]

@bombarderoazul im relieved that you agree with me about the defence spenditure. i also see your point about endeavour. NASA budget needs to be seriously reconsidered. i dont know how they are getting away with it, its a crime against humanity!!

[Duffman3005]

I heard the loud ass sonic boom while staying at Orlando, couldn't see anything though

[angelgirl7473]

where do the rocket boosters go? do they fall back to earth?

[aimhigh59]

@angelgirl7473 They dont make it to space and land 145 miles from the Cape in the Atlantic

[archonthecook]

@angelgirl7473 pacific ...and then they get re-used

[jamesismyfave]

I'm sorry but this amazing thing brings tears to my eyes lol :P It just opens my eyes to what the human race is capable of.

[100dill100]

@jamesismyfave it opens your eyes? it hurts mine lulz its kinda bright bro

[PanjshirGuerrilla]

they gonna hide them all undeground for after the 2012 solarstorms

[swat305GINO]

@PanjshirGuerrilla wow people are still on this 2012 bull shit wow humanity is cliche. noting is gonna happen on 2012.

[PanjshirGuerrilla]

@swat305GINO

i think people shouldnt take your word over nasa's

from 2012 the world is gonna change in many ways

u wanna bury you head in sand to the multiple warnings and predictions from goverments militairys

and scientists around the globe fair enough

/science.nasa.gov/science-news­/science-at-nasa/2006/10mar_st­ormwarning/

[swat305GINO]

@PanjshirGuerrilla stfu?

[25151206]

@PanjshirGuerrilla When did nasa say something would happen in 2012? Were they talking about the end of their space fleet? If so, the world won't end, it'll just be the end of nasa's space fleet. Use your brains, people. What makes you think scientists will believe in an ancient incan prophecy? Even nostradamus, one of the worlds most "respected" and notorious "prophets" couldn't predict the end of the world back in 2001. Then again, maybe we just got the date wrong.

[PanjshirGuerrilla]

@25151206

the link to nasa

://science.nasa.gov/science-ne­ws/science-at-nasa/2010/04jun_­swef/

or if you wish just type it into google u can find it there "nasa warns solar storm"

should scientist belive ancient incans (mayan) prophecy theories? ...no

but shuld they belive in recorded astronomical facts taken from thir ancient societys 3000 years ago

who knew more about the stars than we have only just discoverd in the last 300

[25151206]

@PanjshirGuerrilla There MAY be a large solar storm due to happen sometime next year, but solar storms happen all the time.So what?

Sometimes, it may affect the electrical grid or even sattelite communications, but other than that, it's of little significance. Obviously it would be a good opportunity to study solar storms and guage their effects on earth, but other than that, we have nothing to worry about.

[25151206]

@PanjshirGuerrilla As for ancient knowledge of astronomy, some ancient civilizations may have known a certain amount about the stars, and were good mathematicians, which allowed them to build monuments in certain ways, but I seriously doubt they knew what we currently know about space, such as the various elements produced in space, temps these elements are produced at, the speed at which light travels from one place to another, etc.

[25151206]

@swat305GINO I agree with you. I'm not wanting to bible bash or nothing, but the bible states that no human will know when the end will come, and even Jesus Christ Himself, who Christians believe to be the very son of God, and also believe to be God, didn't know when the end would come. Jesus said that knowledge is only held by God Himself.

[yuabonuga]

Pa pap apapaaaaap apapapapa space space space space wanna go to space!!! let's go to space! space space space space :D

[mzzxr]

That looks incredible would love to watch it live

[faostube]

@mzzxr standing under an engine nacelle when it lights up would be much enjoyable, lol.

[MjrDario]

@mzzxr you could have watched it live on NASA.com, exact time recording, it's like your computer being a TV, go on NASATV

[mzzxr]

@MjrDario yes yes i will definately thank you xoxo :))

[JONACAN]

Amazing.

[ofcourseitshunter]

sooooo much power.

[ciscop2000]

Oh, and great footage by the way,

[ciscop2000]

Who would dislike this? It's basically science. UFOs are just government secret weapons that are disguised as UFOs. From area 51! How does UFOs have to do anything with this?

[chiesuto]

I'm dreaming that we can all experience this in the future!!

[dtrain69er]

@chiesuto not in our life time i imagine :'(

[sronsr]

I can't believe that this is, how this wonderful era ends. The space program brought us so many inventions and improved our lives so much, everything from your mattress and its Memory Foam, to your car, to your internet, to aviation.

This is a sad moment for all of us...

[MrWeatherman10]

God speed

[etbadaboum]

"Final launch of Endeavour, spend our knowledge, spending our lives, in Space"

[sronsr]

@etbadaboum expand* not spend

[DrCooler1000]

@etbadaboum He said expanding not spend.

[etbadaboum]

@DrCooler1000 my bad, I wanted to correct (hence the double "spend") then I forget. Nice motto though.

[OrionGiza]

There is something that fly's past the Rocket Engine at take off at Incredible speed. At the top there are UFO's that are phasing in & out at the beginning of the launch. This isn't Fake!!

[manolofranco]

In the NASA small tower

[manolofranco]

UFO I see 2 for real

[CueroBoy22]

i saw this at school my science teacher was jumping up and down so happy lol

[dx7897]

anybody know why they're done with the STS missions? i mean we finally know how to safely fly the shuttles and we havent had a failure since columbia. i dont get it (not to make me seem stupid or anything)

[25151206]

@dx7897 Cause it costs too much

[hardstyle905]

9 people believe the moon landing was fake and UFOs exist.

Stupid jerks

[XYtruck25]

is Sarah Palin going with them?

[pauldls]

Nice, but the cut-over to the EFT cam. should have been made after the punch through the low clouds.

[CaptainCruise1]

since the discovery and endeavour are retired what space shuttles will they use now ??

[TheFreedom2choose]

@CaptainCruise1 They hitch a ride with the Russians

[CaptainCruise1]

@TheFreedom2choose hmm true:P i really never thought of that:P

[thisisy0utube]

@CaptainCruise1 New shuttles are being developed to replace the last generation of space shuttles. More sustainable vehicles, I believe, with a lot more power.

[SteU4IA]

those words the guy says during take off is so moving!

thumbs up if you got shivers

[tonyhig1]

end of an era :(
