@Hornadayfan I think that is because 100% is the rated thrust of the engine, meaning the thrust that it produced during its testing. Probably this day the engines performed a little better.
@Hornadayfan The engine is capable of throttling between 67% and 111% of its rated power level in one percent increments... so 100% is not the the max thrust available, it's a given value determined during the development of the engine, so it's one level of thrust... the engine can operate safely at higher values (like 104.5%), but higher than 104.5% can cause engine failures...
@RoboticTable Yeah, that's normal. It's called the "roll maneuver": I believe it's to better align the shuttle to the correct path into orbit. When I went to the Kennedy Space Station, they told us all about this. It's a pretty awesome place! :)
@NorthEuropean I'm talking about before the thing launches. The roll maneuver is when the shuttle is in the air. You can notice (barely) what I'm talking about between the main engine start-up and the SRB ignition. But yea the KSC is a pretty amazing place, you can't disagree there :)
@meDJSIRIUS Spending money on this make people fight each other even more. cancel every program of nasa and give money to the poor by eliminating certain characteristics of poverty and the world will be perfect !

@meDJSIRIUS Sorry to burst your bubble but fighting all the time is what lead to this. Rockets were mostly developed to deliver bombs and the shuttle was developed to deliver military satellites.
@Stover36 It was an issue with the older Spacevidcast ascent scripts. We fixed the problem after this flight and made the data a LOT more fluid. Also made it so if there was one error in the data, it wouldn't trickle to other areas like it did here.

Ask NASA if you can send a high quality HD camera to view the upper atmosphere, ALSO ask them if you can receive the signals directly from your experiment with your own antennas and equipment. Also, ask them what are these things:
/watch?v=T52TIUA5adw
/watch?v=N1YMPT1mdaU
Why do they follow the shuttle, why are they self luminous, how can they make 90 degree turns, how can they accelerate to 100,000 mph almost instantaneously?
@pettyofficer30 The external tank is'nt designed to be reused, it vapourizes upon rentry. The ET basicly gets destroyed and a new one must be built for each STS launch. The only reusable parts of the shuttle are the solid rocket boosters and the orbiter itself.
That's a thing of beauty. Launches at night get a 10 out of 10 every time. To bad NASA let that program close out. Hopefully the Russians figure out what went wrong with there last launch. It would be a shame to de-man the station after ten years of great science.
@iweedman12 Lands in the Atlantic where they are picked up and re-used. There's a video on Youtube with cameras on board each of the boosters so you can watch their entire trip from launch to landing in the ocean.
The space shuttle. What a joke that thing was. Originally promised to deliver $1,000 per lb payload into space. 1970's design. Actual delivery was $10,000 per lb. Original design did not include solid-fuel boosters (dangerous, cannot be turned off) and did not include the giant external fuel tank. That thing looks like a high school science project. All that crap tacked onto it. The Space shuttle COULD HAVE & SHOULD HAVE been what is now the defunct X-33 SPACE PLANE. Where is that now?! Gone.
when i was a child a very old men said to me that men will only go to moon or out of this world only with the help of JIN. and seeing the big flame i almost realised how true he was. jin are made of fire and if you assume that fire to be living it is just as if it is carrying the shuttle on its shoulders. this is back in 1950
Good thing President Obama canceled our space program, Now we will have more money to build turtle tunnel's and offer illegal immigrant's full health care coverage!!!!! OH HAPPY DAY'S!!!!!!!
@Psy0psAgent Because there are 300,000 gallons of water dumped on the pad by the time the shuttle clears the tower. It absorbs the shockwaves and helps cool the pad.
@spacevidcast And because the platform isn't metal, for the most part, but concrete. In the same way that the deck of an aircraft carrier or the launch blocks don't weaken when struck with jet fuel, the surface of the platform is built to handle heat.
Word to the wise.....if you have speakers with a sick bass system to go with it, I recommend you do NOT have it up loud like I did. Scared the crap out of me at 6 seconds!!
I stayed up all night to watch the live feed of this, and it was amazing! I was even able to see a slight glimmer of the launch from Auburn AL around the T+3-4min mark. Really wish I could have seen a launch in person.
@D3ADPiXELS Despite the lack of an official cold war, I would expect that certain maneuvers and associated data might still be something NASA wants to keep private.
If there is something secret about a launch (type of satellite or other intelligence gathering practice), the government would not give away any clues to interested parties.
@stinkykyle96 That's not actually a shockwave. It's some sort of unexplainable long-range videographic phenomenon. They break the sound barrier at about T+45 seconds or so. It never takes more than that to hit mach 1 unless one of the main engines has to be throttled back or shut down early.
@spacevidcast Been watching spacevidcast I got a little nervous when Steve Bowens suit was found to have a leak. Be happy when they are back on the ground tomorrow.
@gafalcon7 ingnore spacevidcast I know what you mean, I hate the adverts they spoil the enjoyment . Still it is a sign of the times I suppose.....................a step backward
They also install water bags in the SRB exhaust holes on the launch table to reduce the shockwave that nearly ripped off Columbia's body flap on STS 1.
@mailtrap22 STS-1 was heavily damaged due to the sound suppression system not flowing enough water. The body flap on the orbiter was deflected beyond design limits. Had Young and Crippen known of all of the issues with the launch, they would have performed an RTLS.
@Hoffy490 It's a flare stack about 600 ft behind the launch pad relative to camera angle. Burns off vented hydrogen to keep a very dangerous atmosphere from building up around the pad. Oxygen and hydrogen don't get along well, so they route the hydrogen away from the pad to burn and prevent uncontrolled explosions. The sparklers seen at T-10 serve the same purpose; they ignite to burn off any H2 as well, so that unburned O2 and H2 don't make an uncontrolled explosion. Would damage the SSMEs
@PowerGrooveDrummer: It's their shorthand way of telling everyone that, at that particular point in the shuttle's take-off, they still have enough resources to go back to Earth and make an emergency landing in Zaragoza, Spain (a pre-designated site) using only one engine, should something go wrong.
@D3ADPiXELS Speculating here: That might just mean "no data" or an error. If you look at how the values update from top to bottom, those numbers are simply "updated" with white squares. So it's likely the data stopped being sent since they're now in space. (could be some other explanation - this is just an educated guess)
This was the most gourgeous and fanastic shuttle launch I've ever seen. No, really, this was beautiful. Oh, Discovery, you seem to be having some camera problems. It's a shame that the shuttle series is almost over, though...
@D3ADPiXELS Because none of this actually happened. It's a hoax. Filmed at Disney studios. If you look closely at 7:13 you can see flashlights appear and quickly disappear: those were stage hands from another set who mistakenly walked into the wrong room.
im abseced with astronamy and is AWSOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and the g force was wrong it really about 9 gs and ive been to nasa and friken almost flipped shit when we could go to the lauch pads because the spaceshuttles were there and i was so dawm disaponted but i got to see thisspace shuttle in the repair bay and the building is so big and i saw a crawler witch brings the shuttle to the launch pads.
@1floss1 Nah the launch pads have sound suppression systems in place, which serve a dual role; absorb vibrations caused by the shock waves caused by the energy released by the rockets, and absorb a lot of the heat. Not all of it though, there's always some damage after each launch. They don't need to rebuild new pads or launch platforms though.
@RollingScot67: Right after the SRBs are jettisoned the shuttle main engines cannot sustain the weight of the whole shuttle. As Scott says, they dive a little to gain speed while burning off more of the fuel. Within a minute the weight drops to the point where the SSMEs can push for space. Watch the Gs climb as it accelerates.
That's awesome!

space shuttle launches are one of the most amazing things ever.

This was the most gourgeous and fanastic shuttle launch I've ever seen. No, really, this was beautiful. Oh, Discovery, you seem to be having some camera problems. It's a shame that the shuttle series is almost over, though...

очень красивый корабль-жаль что программу закрывают по моему это ужасная ошибка или злой умысел очень нехороших людей!

@D3ADPiXELS Because none of this actually happened. It's a hoax. Filmed at Disney studios. If you look closely at 7:13 you can see flashlights appear and quickly disappear: those were stage hands from another set who mistakenly walked into the wrong room.

@1floss1 Nah the launch pads have sound suppression systems in place, which serve a dual role; absorb vibrations caused by the shock waves caused by the energy released by the rockets, and absorb a lot of the heat. Not all of it though, there's always some damage after each launch. They don't need to rebuild new pads or launch platforms though.

Thank you for posting this, me and the family saw this from around 6 miles out, just fantastic.

@RollingScot67: Right after the SRBs are jettisoned the shuttle main engines cannot sustain the weight of the whole shuttle. As Scott says, they dive a little to gain speed while burning off more of the fuel. Within a minute the weight drops to the point where the SSMEs can push for space. Watch the Gs climb as it accelerates.
