STS-124 Launch w/ Sound

[lamrof]

This how deep sea fish would feel if they build a craft that launches out of water and travel for some time in air and re-enter. If they ever venture out they will have to wear air suit that will give them protection from the element such as the intense heat and low atmospheric pressure, not to mention they will have to carry oxygenated water to breath.

[lamrof]

re-entry time to landing was way too quick. Some video is cut out. Why is it so wabbly in orbit.

[glennbez]

Why would someone dislike this video?

[ikem555]

@glennbez aliens

[mmartini50]

AWESOME.

[hotdog2020]

so almost 7 mins from launch to landing. Very cool video never seen this before.

[seekingelite]

Haaaa that shit is crazy.

[supremelove83]

what a beautiful planet <3

[supremelove83]

awesome video

[TomTom40202]

What was the stuff falling into the water after it landed? Does it fall apart when it comes back?

[SneakyTweaky]

@TomTom40202

Sure, some pieces get off during friction with the thick air when it enters the atmosphere. You can notice here 4:12 the weird noises, its because its entering our atmosphere. You know, sometimes gravity is a bi**ch :D

[TomTom40202]

@SneakyTweaky yeah, i figured as much. The friction from air resistance must be insane

[nagasako7]

2:04

Goddommot, Gravity.

[maminecka]

Super!!

[WiriamuFirippu]

iiiiinnnncreeddiibblleleeee!!!­!!



[QuantumLeap365]

Sometimes I forget it's always night time out there. +1 earthlings.

[aaron9099]

Puts everything in perspective don't it?

[divineagent]

Awesome to hear the shit hitting it like rocks and debris

[Redpsyclone]

@shin00by Sound can travel through solids, the camera mount assembly could probably pick up those vibrations

[Shin00by]

ow did they get noise? Sound cant travel in space.

[joey199412]

@Shin00by sound travels trough gasses. There are no gasses in the vacuum of space. But they are releasing gas to proppel forwards so the sound you hear is fibrating through the gas that they release for acceleration. And eventually reaches the cabins oxygen gas and hits the microphone

[MrHurrikanable]

This would be amazing in HD or IMAX.

[moogpunk]

Good morning Mr. Sunshine

You brighten up my day

[kdwormy]

It's a shame that the sound fucked up.

[funx24X7]

Whenever I see the reflection of the iris in the lens, I hear this voice in my head that says "It's lonely up here, Dave..."

[eitrig]

>dat feel when amurika care's more about killing Arabs then going into space.

[Chocoboranger]

tune into 1:50 if you don't want to hear your speakers crying in pain for two minutes.

[ParamourProductions1]

This is an honest question: does anyone know why the camera cut out? The part when it went black was when I most wanted to see what everything looked like.

[kiplinght]

@ParamourProductions1 I think that's when the camera switched to a camera pointing near the parachutes. At first it looks like you can see some light in there, so I guess the camera was hidden underneath the parachutes until *BANG* they open up

[moogpunk]

@ParamourProductions1 Aliens.

[ParamourProductions1]

@moogpunk i fooking knew it

[Munchy365]

What's with the little particles falling out of the sky at the end?

[moogpunk]

@Munchy365 Aliens.

[Phiru808]

13 dislikes? who are the 13 assholes who don't think this is cool? Must be some fundie asshats who don't believe in science.

[HypotheticalMuffins]

FFFFFFFFFFAAAAAARGH SO COOOOOOOOOOOOOL

[neocon70]

if NASA is going to release fake footage, at lease release them with stars. they did the same botched job with the fake moon pics.

[Shikamaru524]

Fake, no sound in space.

[HomuncuIus]

@Shikamaru524 The rocket was still in the stratosphere, very thin atmosphere

[Emptypiro]

@Shikamaru524 this part of the shuttle never actually never enters space, which is why it falls back down

[Greeb17]

@Emptypiro Your conclusion is correct but your evidence is not. Falling down is due to the force of gravity, which would be experienced within the atmosphere AND in space (think of the moon). The equation is F=GmM/r^2.

[FmMan33]

@Shikamaru524 You're either a troll, or a total fucking dumbass.

[Shikamaru524]

@FmMan33 This statement is false.

Good enough?

[havocson]

@Shikamaru524 Cant tell if trolling. Theyre not fully in space yet.

[youtubedude]

My god it's full of stars.

[brackitbrackit]

These GoPro HD ads are getting pretty ridiculous.

[Qber4life]

STOP USING THE FUCKING LENS FLARE!!!! JEEZ!!!

[kefan06]

I'm about to throw up from watching this

[Shadowcurser]

Space, space, I'm in space, space ... space ... hey lady? SPACE!

[fazedsatchel]

that was fucking awesome

[Icix1]

Dang that was a relatively rapid descent....I thought it would been longer

[Xxkevin77xX]

This video had more lense flare then a JJ Abrams movie

[KantraScepter]

@Xxkevin77xX So you're saying that JJ Abrams should've had more lens flares to make it more realistic?

[frostytheaussie]

this camera apparently doesn't agree with its reentry

[prfit]

When I was little, my mother told me not to look into the sun. So, once when I was 6, I did.

[Kaikumach]

I wanna be a solid rocket booster when I grow up.

[JeroenUyttendaele]

best youtubeclip ever

[austinmo2]

wow, utterly amazing

[therealsuperhobo]

5:57 Suddenly, jellyfish.

[frogboy7000]

The earth is too oceany and blue and stuff. I wish my planet was cooler, like with lava on it and laser beams.

[bws12r]

@frogboy7000 Give it time.

[odantoro]

@frogboy7000 Actually I think that would make it warmer!

[tHoM0r]

is that the rocket plume in the distance at 4:28?

[ChrisAstro30]

@tHoM0r YES!

[keeperofthegates]

@tHoM0r Yeah, thats the contrail of the rocket as it went up. The reason it is so far away is because of the rotational speed of the earth.

[jameson63926]

@tHoM0r yep

[wetterdew]

The period between my birth and my death lasted less than five minutes, but I still managed to see more than most can ever hope to dream of.

I felt the cold snap of release. I watched the dewdrop horizon encroach on the vast emptiness that surrounded me. And at last, I felt the firm, reassuring tug of the sky-jellyfish giving me one last saving grace before everything was gone again.

Some say your life is only the extent of your journeys. Mine was a short life, but what a life it was.

[CaptainChaos]

@wetterdew That's beautiful. People, please vote up wetterdew's comment!

[00Raveran00]

@wetterdew

wat

[iexusuxei]

@wetterdew Don't they recycle these boosters? So not really death ..

[philoj]

@wetterdew Oddly, the only thing the other booster thought was "Oh, no - not again."

[severuxtrololo]

@wetterdew lol what the fuck? thats trippy but, just shut up fag hipster

[wilosaur]

@severuxtrololo u mad?

[LosAngelesFresh1]

@severuxtrololo He's talking as if he's the rocket "fag hipster".. and who even talks like that? Are you gay and in denial?

[severuxtrololo]

@LosAngelesFresh1 lol utryhardbro? are you his mom? then suck his dick FAGGGGGGGGGGGG

[LosAngelesFresh1]

@severuxtrololo i bet you aint get NO type of pussy.. now go jerk off to some harry potter or something you 11 year old twat

[severuxtrololo]

@LosAngelesFresh1 lololololo i actually am 11 and i have jerked off to some Harry Potter characters.

[LosAngelesFresh1]

@severuxtrololo Not surprised, now bury yourself alive and fucking die.

[severuxtrololo]

@LosAngelesFresh1 dont have a shovel. nor a grave...have to put that on my to do list. now get a life and stop replying to something that you dont care about you fucking nigger. Die a cruel, slow death...in hell. motherfucker lolololol if u reply that means you really have no life....

[LosAngelesFresh1]

@severuxtrololo I replied.

[VirtualSuperSoldier]

Can we get this in HD? Maybe even with the audio patched? Why this isnt in an I Max theatre already is beyond me (the cameras are pretty heavy tho).

[lancevancedance]

please excuse my ignorance. but is that big bright object the sun?

[sargeantwelsh]

@lancevancedance yes lance, that would be the sun. haha

[bubblinbrownsugar616]

OH MY GOD!!! The minute it separated from the ET it scared the shit out of me (had my earphones on!) but then when it started to fall and you saw that blackness of space and the Earth and UNBELIEVABLY the sun............

This planet is just freaking awesome!!! LOLOL!!

[lapisScarab]

this is so beautiful....

[featheredmusic]

Can i purchase these videos? this is priceless



[JuniperSprouts]

Fantastic.

[brainache86]

i'm just saying k. what if the early footage is just a fraud and the real thing is only after the blackout.???

[ace69er]

Brilliant! But WHY is it, we NEVER see any UFOs in these vids?

Some1 been Sanitising??

[RealmOfPlagues]

@ace69er Or maybe its an indication that the space outside our planet isn't just filled with UFOs.

[ace69er]

@RealmOfPlagues ;o)

[cryptsub]

@ace69er Maybe because there aren't any?

[simonsound1]

This is amazing. Is any of this footage available on DVD?

[thebioniclekid]

i love space.

[pigeonkill]

Stunning. You can spot rockets' itself vapour trail at 4:29, 5:17 and probably elsewhere, too. So cool.

[razreshat]

Thank god they had a microphone on that camera, the video just wouldn't have been the same silent. The sounds as it began re-entry were terrifying and amazing.

[squamata70]

What is the swirl in top-left corner at 4:29?

[ZorkFox]

@squamata70 I believe that's the exhaust/contrail of the orbiter at an altitude where it can still form vapor. A few seconds later you can see the remains of the booster's own exhaust as it starts to spiral in its fall.

[squamata70]

@ZorkFox I think you're right. Thanks!

[pigeonkill]

@squamata70 I think that's vapour trail rockets we now see falling down left during the way up. Fantastic.

[delbertgrady]

there is something so fundamentally weird about seeing the sun in a black sky

[CorpHo]

What is that white speck at 3:20? Is there a more specific answer than "it's a planet"? Thanks for any insight.

[UnconventionalDice]

Wich speed do they pick up before atmosphere begins to slow them down?

[tdrockass]

i was listnig to origa-moon as i was watching this, wow, just wow. the music goes really well with the scenes from space, no idea wat she's saying tho

[karakan1453]

after a while you see a star :)).

[xXKushkinXx]

@karakan1453 its a planet, cameras like this dont have the type of exposure needed to see stars

[karakan1453]

@xXKushkinXx don't know if it's a planet or star :) atleast i saw something:)

[ottovw]

That's A-mazing. Seen the SRBs drop many times but NOT from this angle!

[usdesertdweller]

Quite a show, NASA! Great job!

[samehomar1993]

Wow...

[frootofaloom]

the first half of this video sounds like a vuvuzela

[jesseVenturanotaSeaI]

Thanks for killing the space program Barrack Obama. 

[SalamenceKeeper7450]

Houston, we have a problem.

[poxopox1995]

this reminded me of bioshck

[Krawke]

Fake.

[CaptainLibertarian]

Is that all in real time? Didn't think getting to space and coming back down to earth could be done so quickly!

[emkayusa]

@CaptainLibertarian

The SRB's never actually reach space, they are jettisoned at 146,000 feet, continue to rise to 220,000 feet under their own momentum, then gravity does the rest.

[sucazza]

waooo amazing

[Stefernie2]

OMG! SEASICK NOW! lol

[ZombieSunset]

feat. merzbow

[Kenobel]

very beautiful, thank your for this

[illspirit1965]

i hear someone whistleing in the back, maybe its god

[illspirit1965]

i hear someone whisteling in the back, maybe its god

[showtimebabies]

4:27 exhaust left by the rockets.

so cool.

[PhantomFragg]

*metal creaks and groans*

"Captain, the inertial tolerance is exceeding maximum thresholds! We're entering the atmosphere!!"

[mehigh2marsiansky]

@PhantomFragg hey, wheres that from? :)

[PhantomFragg]

@mehigh2marsiansky oh that's something StarTrek related. dialogue I made up.

[JWY]

Yes, I've watched a lot of these - they are very cool

[dogyasha]

what were those things at 4:33 ??

[NightElectric]

@dogyasha Those are the vapor trails from the rockets.

[WRplayer2]

Awesome.

[juniornib]

LOL

[zephyr89s]

wait a minute, the camera survived RE-ENTRY??!! Holy crap!

[AlphaLuna]

@zephyr89s Do you think is a normal handy-cam sticked with tape outside the ship? xD think again.

[Dchernikov1]

oh god, how beautiful it is!!!

[assarta]

+99999999999999999999999999999­9999999999999999999999999999

[semkras]

This is diabolic video , crazy shit

[artoodiitoo]

whoa, my kettle went to space and back!

[yusbarrett]

holly shit!!! :|

[1285215]

my god what a beautiful planet we have

[robertwillmer]

@1285215 Yet we as a race are destroying it more and more everyday

[johnsom33]

@robertwillmer kind of... we are destroying ourself. The earth has been around for lot longer than humans, and when we make it unliveable for us, the us will keep on and repair itself. We will be a minor roadbump.

[antipeterleague]

@1285215 too bad its going straight down the shitter thanks to nuclear power, endless waste and pollution, industrialization, but bigger than all that is the impact of the meat industry...but it's ok. keep supporting them. sheep!

[MrCrasken]

@antipeterleague Haha, you think that nuclear power is doing anything to destroy the earth? Oh, the ignorance.

[antipeterleague]

@MrCrasken no what's happening in japan is totally normal and, in fact, beneficial to our health and the health of our planet.

[MrCrasken]

@antipeterleague And what are these amazingly terrible effects that the nuclear crisis in Japan has had on the environment? Do you even understand what caused the nuclear crisis in Japan?

[antipeterleague]

@MrCrasken If there were wind turbines present in place of the nuclear power plant, would it still constitute a disaster? Would it send radiation into the atmosphere, into our food and water supplies? Let us thank governments everywhere for nuclear disasters like Chernobyl, and now Japan.

[amagilly]

it sees, it hears,

it's alone, and it's scared.

[davidlucasfer]

impresionante lol

[Larico100]

HERMOSO

[spamviking]

How long can those things float for? In the ocean before recovery I mean.

[lambourghini81]

ahh hueston we have a problem,

Base: What seems to be the problem?

WERE COMING IN HOT!!!! SH!#!!!!!!!!!!!

[KomodoNameless]

Turn on adagio for stings while watching :U

[lambourghini81]

@KomodoNameless OMG I LOVE THAT SONG

[89Sunbird]

Wooooooooooooooooow

[ElectricPriest]

Liquid fuel pumping, then slosh with rotation. The sound is transmitted through the tank walls and internal atmosphere. This is amazing. You hear debris hitting walls from pyrotechnics and exhaust gases. Wonderful sounds.

[tcoreyb]

so cool!

[HenryxPub]

Realmente impresionante, Que bien que difundan estos videos.

[sliderlm]

AMAZING

[JasonHD1985]

Beautiful.

[FuzzyDander]

This was great to watch thanks

[candibandi09]

Your Ticket- Departure: 2:30 mark, only on the day after the 19th of the 4th month of the year....Arrival: 6:38... Instructions: Do not watch until YOUR TICKET is understood

[gugastgo]

cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[UnableToGiveADam]

space....

so fucking awesome

[st8sis]

Ech. Way too much lens flare just like J.J.'s new Star Trek.

:-P

[wowcolors]

There is still air that high up for sound to travel in?

[MetallicaPwnsAll]

@wowcolors There's not really a point at which air stops going into space. It just becomes thinner and thinner and thinner...and thinner. Until eventually theres only a few molecules here and there I would seem to suspect.

[plasticbarf]

very surreal

[crazyzer0]

3 STAGE PARACHUTE!!!???

So cool

[nemains]

este video es la raaaaaaaaaaaaajaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­a ¡¡¡
