Space Shuttle Discovery STS124 lift off

[sharkowner95]

Props to these guys and every other astronaut.. you have to have balls to do this

[LolzVidz]

LOL JK, fastest is just over 24k

[LolzVidz]

It is correct the shuttle can peak at 32000 MPH

[blablubb12345]

@LolzVidz

The shuttle reaches a top speed around 17.500 mph, the speed record for manned spaceflight is held by Apollo 10 with 24.800 mph during reentry.

waiting and waiting JUST LIFT OFF!!!

jk i know there are procedures and what not

[mtnlogistics]

the g-forces on the astronauts bodies during initial lift off must be 100x more intense than anything ive experienced.

[laurierken]

@mtnlogistics I'd give 5 years of my life to experience that. What a ride that must be. Dig it, the guy said they were going a thousand miles an hour.... my God..... ANd re-entry, they are doing what, almost 17,000 MPH? Wow.

[r0nd0m]

look how Discovery gets far away from earth...

"Its quiet at the control room" :')

[chazer17]

Imagine the tension going through the team who built the shuttle, the pilots... must be so tense!

[fireking9934]

i wonder if the shuttle is more of a risk than the capsul

[elyazid1980]
