  • check ufo at 2.50!!!!!

  • No UFO - just the venting of the liquid hydrogen in the tank for making the tank tumble more. Otherwise the tank would not get destroyed properly during reentry. The tumbling prevents that the tank just flies nose first though the atmosphere without fragmenting properly.

  • where is this big tank going to,,,

    is come with a parachute,,,

    how many parachute with a big tank

  • No parachutes.

    Only the SRBs are recovered and reused. The external tank is just left to burn up in the atmosphere and is discarded.

  • hi zane,

    what is a SRB,,,

    external tank can be use it again again

  • I think most of the external tanks burn and explode in the atmosphere by re-entrying. The others leave Earth's gravitation field and goes to the far reaches of space.

    Am I right?

  • Yes.. Everyone External Tank reentry in the atmosphere and burn. If you're lucky you can see it burning in the atmosphere with naked eye using the orbital elements.

  • I can amagine some smartass going BOMBS AWAY!!

  • What we see there is simply the venting of the EFT contents before inactivation. Remaining cyrogenic components are burned up by simply mixing them by a nozzle in outward direction.

    Strategically this is also used for braking the tank to it will descend towards earth.

    The EFT is not recovered but will burn up during reentry.

  • There is no ufo there lol -.-

  • guys come on that is not a ufo...that's just more stuff that falls off the tank...it happens everytime...come on don't fall for that crap

  • Check out the ufo at 3:45

  • Imagine looking out to a view like THAT...
