The German state uses his secret service BND to systematically rape, torture and murder. My brother Markus Bott had been tortured during five and a half years. I recorded more than 450 hours on video which ended in the legal system. The BND continued under cover of the legal sytem to torture my brother for one and a half years. My brother was assassinated on 11.7.09 because of our homepage linked on my chanel. Whatever lie german snitchers tell you: Germany is the worst torture state on earth.
No human has actually ever been to space. It is just a mere conspiracy that the government has pulled off. They have been lying all along and we civilians are too retarded to think for just a second to realize that it is complete BS. We are humiliating ourselves and the government is laughing at us.
@cjracer1000 you answered it yourself. It is controlled in a command center, takes off, goes up a bit, then lands somewhere in the desert. Then, when it's time for it to "return home," they have it take off from the desert location and have it land at the runway they film. Just think about it.
@cjracer1000 you are correct about the launches. but remember, the secretive launch will not be nearly as explosive because all that fire and smoke is purely for show.
@Jrink30 So you're telling me that you can get up to the altitudes that this vehicle does in such a short time with out the fire that the rockets make? You're also telling me that the speed that they go doesn't need rocket either? Also, the video from inside the shuttle showing people, the video from outside where you can see the curvature from the earth, and the fact that you CAN see the ISS up in space means nothing?
I have NO idea about this sort of thing so this might sound like a stupid question, but how the hell do they land ON the runway? How do they get into position to do that? Do they start off in the correct position from outer space or something?
@jasonyeozhishen No engines are running. APU's are running to supply hydraulic pressure for aero surfaces to move. Fuel cells are running for electricity. Other systems are running for different reasons. But no rocket power.....
The shuttle was developed in the 1970's! Just imagine what we as man kind could produce now! Its un-thinkable. As soon as all the resession and financial plunder passes over i believe technological advances with leap forwards like we have never seen! Fingers crossed
@Rambo9612 Unthinkable eh? NASA couldn't even go to the Moon now without a 10 year run-up.... You would think that going back to the Moon would be nothing, seeing as how we've been there before... pffft.
@dforeigner Ur right actually.The space shuttle Atlantis has never been to the moon and nobody said it ever was. Apollo eleven took the astronauts to the moon for the first time in 1969,but it was the moon vehicle Eagle that actually landed on the lunar surface.
There's a mountain of evidence that the Apollo moon missions were faked. I posted a partial summary of it on a science forum. Google "The Naked Scientists". In the "New Theories" section of the forum there's a thread entitled "Did We Land on the Moon?". The summary is on page 15. It's the 7th post from the top.
People who still think they went to the moon simply haven't seen the hoax evidence yet.
The shuttle's approach speed from 10,000 ft is approx 400 knots (which is most likely the speed viewed from the rare side view taken),the astronauts flare the nose only in the last couple of thousand feet to bleed off speed for a 200 knot touchdown,this is also the reason why the landing gear is deployed just prior to touchdown
well that would be incredibly difficult b/c the farther u go the more gravity pulls u down and it would most def. need rockets anyway. The rockets on the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo missions were also necessary due to the incredible difficult of getting a space craft out of the earth's atmosphere (even though it's only 7-10 miles high above sea level)
i wish i could go in space, but i would get homesick... and don't your muscles get weak from being in zero gravity for too long? I'd imagine it would be like being in a coma
I know because I have a friend that was in a coma for a month, and he suffered significant muscle loss. Being weightless in space i would imagine has the same effect as being in a coma because there is no way of using your muscles in space. Lifting a 500 lbs barbell would be as easy as lifting a jar of peanut butter. See what I mean now?
They have ways of exercising up there, don't worry. Most STS flights are only in space for about 2 weeks. The astronauts that live in the ISS, they do exercise a lot too, so they turn out okay.
I know what you mean about getting homesick...not to mention the fact that I'm afraid of heights - can you imagine what being afraid of heights would do to an astronaut?
goes up as a rocket......comes down as a glider....incredible! 4.5 million mile mission...good lord.....how much money would you need to spend on a credit card to earn that many miles?
well the reenter somewhere over the pacific... prob stil near africa s they glide for a long time... given that white sands would be a back up and thats west of kennedy and they said runway 33 so thats 33 degrees on a compass so they'd be flying from west to east...
it doesnt need to use its engines, its going around 15000mph upon reentry, if it didnt, it would burn up. as it glides towards earth it drops speed very rapidly due to its modified flaps. when its within 1000 feet it is going qaround 1000 mph, then 500, then 250, then touchdown.
That is probably the INCORRECT analysis of the shuttle's reentry, approach and landing as I've ever heard. Do your research, or buy Space Shuttle 2007 simulator.
of course it doesent have any engines, when it re enters the atmosphere if it is of to high of an angle it will just bounce of the atmospere and to low wud just burn up
The American space program has fascinated me since childhood. Watching the shuttle land was truly spectacular. USA's contributions to science and technology are equally spectacular.
I think the problem with flaps would be protecting the inner parts of the flaps from the extreme re-entry temperatures, much like what doomed Columbia.
The space shuttle has a flap. It's located in the middle just under the 3 main engines. It's purpose is to protect, with its thermal tiles, those engines from the re-entry heat and it's also used for the pitch control in atmospheric flight.
For roll control, the pilot uses the elevons on the back of the wings and for yaw, a part of the vertical tail, the rudder, that also acts as a speed brake when it's opened.
btw, the crew can't fail to land or else they lost their chance and will fall like a rock because there's no engine thrust when they come back right ?
Exactly. At a precise time in space, the crew use a procedure called the de-orbit burn. Shuttle is moving "backward" in space, the 2 OMS engines are fired up for a certain amount of time to slow the shuttle's speed so gravity can pull it back. That procedure is done at a specific location in space.
Most of the re-entry is fly by the AutoFCS (Auto Flight Control System), which acts like an auto-pilot, until a certain distance where the crew takes manual control.
I don't work for NASA, although i read a lot about space exploration.
The deorbit burn GO is given by Mission Control on the ground, so issues about weather are treated prior to that. When the GO is given crew and mission control knows exactly where and at what time the shuttle will land. A reroute is not possible with the lack of engine thrust.
The 3 landing sites are Kennedy Space Center in Florida, Edwards Force Base in California, White Sand in New Mexico.
They don't have much choice, once they start the re-entry and landing process, I think it's just some serious math calculations and then gravity takes over. The shuttle doesn't land like a plane. Maybe some of the other viewers can explain it better.
Yeah, I know the shuttle doesn't have an engine and that it lands like a glider, which means any little mistake could be a crucial mistake that could put the spacecraft and crew in danger. Why not land at Edwards if the wind is that bad?
If a shuddle lands in Florida you can hear it from 300 or more miles away I live about 400 miles away from KSC and you can hear that bitch and see it taking off
The Orion Orbiter which is being designed as a replacement, should not be made. It is just a rocket like the Saturn-V really. They could design the space shuttle better though. They could design it to take off like an airplane.
When it frist enters the earth atmosphere the auto pilot flyes the shuttle. But when the shuttle reaches a certain speed(out of super sonic flight) the pilot takes over because he/she can fly the shuttle better than the flight computer. And you are correct the shuttle does not have engines so it cant Go around to line up for another landing attempt. It is a one try, one landing attempt.
That would be almost impossible the space shuttle can't fly like a regular airplane it can only glide. I doubt that even if you could mount jet engines on her she could fly. They are just to heavy they weigh about 100tons. Look at the 747 and the wingspan on it, the shuttles wings would not be able to get enough lift.
That was a test vehicle much light our Enterprise, half of the cargo bay was a fuel tank. The vehicle you are talking about was meant as a test vehicle and never meant for space flight. It was used to understand the gliding cabablities of the full size Buran.
Also it did not fly cross country it flew up a few thousand feet and then turned its engines off. So it couldn't be able to fly any distance, that is why the Russians built the An-225 to carry Buran.
So is THAT where they're going to send all the homeless that we don't want to take care of here on Earth??!!

The run way is 55 km long, which I believe is about 35 miles.

If a shuddle lands in Florida you can hear it from 300 or more miles away I live about 400 miles away from KSC and you can hear that bitch and see it taking off

The Orion Orbiter which is being designed as a replacement, should not be made. It is just a rocket like the Saturn-V really. They could design the space shuttle better though. They could design it to take off like an airplane.

Wow that was a great landing. Does anyone know if you can fly the space shuttle on Microsoft Flight Simulator 10? Please give me a link.

touch down speed range from 170 knots to 195 knots. initial approach is about 680 knots.
final approach is 270-290 knots.

thinking how it will be to be up in space and come back and try landing this super sonic flight and try landing it
elskerstine 3 years ago
When it frist enters the earth atmosphere the auto pilot flyes the shuttle. But when the shuttle reaches a certain speed(out of super sonic flight) the pilot takes over because he/she can fly the shuttle better than the flight computer. And you are correct the shuttle does not have engines so it cant Go around to line up for another landing attempt. It is a one try, one landing attempt.

i was just thinking, why spend money on a 747 SCA when a detachable pod powerful jet engines can bu mounted on a shuttle and let her fly back?
that removes the time consuming mounting and demounting on a 747.
nakazatoGTR 3 years ago
That would be almost impossible the space shuttle can't fly like a regular airplane it can only glide. I doubt that even if you could mount jet engines on her she could fly. They are just to heavy they weigh about 100tons. Look at the 747 and the wingspan on it, the shuttles wings would not be able to get enough lift.

impossible?
take a look at the russian's shuttle trainer.
its same weight size as their Buran shuttle but has FOUR AL-34 afterburning turbojet engines.
lifts off @ 300 kts.
see watch?v=TF_6iZIlYrE @ 1:12

That was a test vehicle much light our Enterprise, half of the cargo bay was a fuel tank. The vehicle you are talking about was meant as a test vehicle and never meant for space flight. It was used to understand the gliding cabablities of the full size Buran.
Also it did not fly cross country it flew up a few thousand feet and then turned its engines off. So it couldn't be able to fly any distance, that is why the Russians built the An-225 to carry Buran.
FORZION 3 years ago
well maybe use eight PW-100 jet engines like those on F-22 raptor.
naaahhhh just being imaginative.
nakazatoGTR 3 years ago
where would it get the fuel for that? It would barely be able to fly around the airport.
FORZION 3 years ago
as i said i was being imaginative...
well if you add wing extension and winglets that may squeeze some lift.
again i was just being imaginative.
