"Mars, the next logical step on the path of exploration, is dismissed as too costly." This makes me shudder. Money is something I'd call the most irrelevant thing there is, when it comes to things that actually matter. Do we have the resources to send man to the Mars? Sure as hell we do. Is now the right time? Perhaps not, we can't even settle our own primitive "anti-economy" straight, let alone our whole social system.
But perhaps, perhaps we can overcome such issues someday.
@Uribaani What's funny is we have 4 trillion dollars to spend on pointless wars, but we're not willing to spend that money on a lunar colony or martian human exploration. That make's COMPLETE sense. SMH
To all those confused, the first and last song is from The Dark Knight soundtrack, the first being "A Watchful Guardian", and the second, "Like a Dog Chasing Cars". The links are as follows: AWG- /watch?v=fOOE7faI6xw LADCC - /watch?v=a8-XarUUxM0
Hope this clears up the confusion. The space shuttle deserves such great music.
FYI: -face it boldly StarTreckers, -the entire notion of NASA was a shameful sham from JFK's get-go! It was all about using brilliant dr.vonBraun as a PR-scheme in the 'ColdWar' against Ruskies, -whom to their credit never tried to FAKE any LoonieLandings via Hollywierd as USA had done. Thus now a laughing-stock, owing whistle-blowing of the many phony Apollo Ass'tronaut MoonLandings; -the only honest exploits were via robotics, which are able to withstand rigors of outer-space cosmic-rays..!!!
17,500mph Ive never had the honour of seeing a space shuttle launch and now I never will, it makes me sad! better to spend money on thimgs like this than religious wars!!!!!!!!!! especially seen as though god doesnt exist, now thats stupidly foolish!!
@SultanMehmed this is true, I bet they make a fortune on the ammunition they sell, I don't remember making my other comment and don't even agree with myself haha. (apart from the bit about the space shuttle)
Paul Hill you cheese ball. "they absolutely believe that they are the one's... "
I'm sure they believe they are talented and capable and will do the best they can. And in allegiance with their talented colleagues, and with all the previous successes and talent that has already imbued the space program they feel the current mission has a very good chance of success.
I still don't understand what REQUIREMENTS the space shuttle was created to fulfill. Was it just a temporary space station we could send up for a few orbits around the Earth... But for what purpose? I am unaware of any Earth shattering knowledge that came from micro-gravity experiments, even after the ISS. I really don't think the Space Shuttle was about exploration at all, and the Enterprise name in itself was probably unsuited for that reason.
@zassounotsukushi I may not understand your quistion enough as it already seems you would know this .....but the space shuttle was originaly designed as an inter-continental ballistic missile taught up by Hitler and his mates during the war and then its technology was further developed for space exploration.
Sorry for that, but NASA has no money. Forget going to the moon and mars or asteroids. 1 Flight and the NASA must fly with russian rockets. The private industry tries to build some spacecrafts... But I've seen no human transportation system.
On the Del Marva Peninsula of Virginia, the Wallops Flight Facility of NASA is busy working with the Russians on the next generation equipment. Now being Paid for with China's money (chattled by the US taxpayers means we all pay it back,....with interest)) NASA is far from finished. It's now just working on a 'Pay Day Loan'.. LV's 'Pawn Star' takes over when US taxpayers are destitute..
EPA apparently does not see toxic emissions? To EPA.'only' cars, manufacturing and power plants are Toxic.
I don't care about artificial hearts or biotechnology I just want to explore for the sake of exploring, its one of our deepest instincts and trying to repress it is futile.
Considering I'd take a one way ticket to Mars, to say I support NASA is an understatement.
Give the $700bn military budget to NASA and give NASA's $10bn (average) to the military.
@Ashitaka255 They probably already are just we never know about it. Some of the aviation vehicles of today are known to be reverse-engineered. I just hope for the sake of human-kind someone uncovers or finds out the truth.
Why do the crew still fly to the Cape. Two of the Apollo astronaut core were killed when their planes crashed. It just seems an unnecessary risk. Unless the idea is that all the crew aren't on one plane at the same time.
@danielcaraj Exacto! In French I say like you say in Spanish: "Etatsuniens" "Estodounidenses"; not sure how to say in English though...? when I say "united-stats' people" I'm not understood... ;-)
@danielcaraj Sí y México se llama Estados Unidos Mexicanos, Alemania Bundesrepublik Deutschland, Japón 日本国 (Nihon-koku)... Ya pasé por esa etapa en la que me molestaba que se llamasen a sí mismo como americanos, pero luego me di cuenta que beh~ qué más dá. Si eligieron ponerle a su país el mismo nombre del continente hay que respetarlos, aunque luego piensen (no lo sé) que "sólo ellos" son americanos. No voy a seguir con esta discusión, que el video va de otra cosa no estas nimiedades.
@danielcaraj No lo tomes como una falta de respeto, no te olvides que el pais se llama Estados Unidos de America nosotros decimos estadounidenses, ellos se llaman a si mismos americanos, Es tan simple como eso.
Los Santiagueños no mencionan el "del Estero" para dar otro ejemplo.
(I remember a geography class, where the teacher had me repeat the answer, until I changed my answer from "America" to "USA"; for reference, I live in Europe.)
That was cool and all but there's still some stuff I need to know! Like um is that glass in the spaceships mixed with diamonds? I heard it was but that was a long time ago so anyone who knows message me!
I agree with the sentiment of peace not war, however this should be about major countries combining space craft construction and exploration for the whole of Earth, We need a space station and centre on the Moon to then move into true space exploration.
NASA still trying to figure out how to get a manned mission thru the VanAllen and into 'deep space' since the 50`s ,kinda sad.They should just scrap the whole program.
@ALFTUBE50 geez! NASA still cant get a manned mission thru the VanAllen into 'deep space' to the Moon ,forget Mars.Compton Gamma Ray Observatory did not go up til 1993,itll be maaany years b4 they figure out how to get a manned mission thru the VanAllen into 'deep space'.
America is freaking broke. I support the space program but that should be the cherry on the reestablished economy cake. Until then cutbacks are necessary on all levels.
@Clausfarre cutbacks across the grid are totally unnecessary. The vast majority of America's budget is in the military. If that were to be cut back to a self defense force ONLY, then there wouldn't be anywhere near as much of a budget problem.
@luccaskunk Although the deficit is unimaginably gigantic (and cutbacks desperately needed) I totally agree with you. If America focused on protecting only the borders and not fighting iin faraway countries a lot of money would be saved. The American military budget is insane.
@Clausfarre As the only western country that can guarantee exploration in space and whatnot, my opinion is that America should hugely increase their NASA budget. The responsibility is on them to take extend humanity's reach in this universe. They're a force for peace as far as I can tell, too, and I know that in the eyes of a lot of liberals and hippier people than myself, a slight cutback on the military budget over there would be welcome, and in its place a slight increase in NASA funds!
@Keadin That's another thing with all the technological progress we've made in the past century, we shouldn't be having these problems. Yet we are still forced to compete over resources, we should have stopped using 50 years ago.
It's all about the almighty dollar. Science could have us all living like kings, yet we choose to live in an inevitably failing economic system. For what, so the overwhelming minority can continue to horde money, power and destroy the earth ecosystem in the process?
Good video ;) But i have to say but because i know that we have knowledge to go far beyond this. Sad truth is it is being supressed by the power hunger lunatics who seeks to gain control over people by not letting it out and use it against them.
With the budget cuts...there will be no successor in the near future. We wont be going back to space for a long time most likely. The US government even wanted to back out of any involvement with the International space station!...
It makes me wonder if we have another secret space program. You don't really think we're just giving up do you? No, I think we do have other, more efficient means of transporting people into space. It's probably a lot cheaper and more reliable too. But since they're using technology we're not supposed to know about, as far as we're concerned the space program is DEAD. I guess keeping the war machine up and running, to keep fighting over resources we don't really need anymore is more important.
@DeathBYDesign666 The VASIMR rocket is supposed to be tested on the international space station by 2013. Much faster and more efficient than what we have now. It's supposed to reach 120,000+ MPH. The concept was researched by Franklin Chang-Diaz with NASA for years and later developed at his company, the Ad Astra Rocket Company. It's already been test fired so I guess we'll see how well it works in 2013.
@DeathBYDesign666 Yeh most technologies in flight and space are ages old they have surely invented some other sort of spacecraft and probably already are on the moon.
it's very sad that i will not see space exploration or technology. We have it all wrong i believe we should spend money on exploration , space programs with no budgets and not war or fighting over beliefs and religions.
We as a global race of humans should not waste PAPER money on supplys for this. money is just a symbol. This is moving forword for the human race :(
...im still confused... will will there no longer be a space craft that "lands" ? ...are they going back to the ocean "crash landing"? if so... ill miss the shuttle deeply. =(
INCREDIBLE... I dbout this country would be as excited about manned spaceship landing on Mars as America was about the moon-landing... what with the short attention span and focus on celebrities.
Just because NASA in not involved does not mean a end to the space program, There are a few private companies working on cheaper space shuttle like vehicles.
I think the private companies would do a much better job than NASA... matter of fact, if it were private we would have landed on Mars already... so long as there isn't a bunch of government red tape getting in the way, let the private companies take over space exploration.
@DrRapistaa - Batman approves this message. Besides, this is an educational and presumably non profit video so there really isn't a case for infringement.
Thank you, a very interesting and timely video. No matter the rights and wrongs of the shuttle development, the reasons, the excuses, the payoffs or losses, it still represented an enormously successful chapter in the history of space, or near Earth exploration.
Having enjoyed ( and felt heartache at times ) this exciting ride, I look forward to the next step.
Ah, the booster test site is not in Clearfield, it's outside Corrine, way out away from the population centers of the Wasatch Front. ATK's offices are in West Valley City. Looks like they found an ATK warehouse at Freeport Center (a site near Clearfield), and decided the rocket tests were going on there. Pretty poor research.

They're a force for peace as far as I can tell, too, and I know that in the eyes of a lot of liberals and hippier people than myself, a slight cutback on the military budget over there would be welcome, and in its place a slight increase in NASA funds!

@Keadin That's another thing with all the technological progress we've made in the past century, we shouldn't be having these problems. Yet we are still forced to compete over resources, we should have stopped using 50 years ago.
It's all about the almighty dollar. Science could have us all living like kings, yet we choose to live in an inevitably failing economic system. For what, so the overwhelming minority can continue to horde money, power and destroy the earth ecosystem in the process?

With the budget cuts...there will be no successor in the near future. We wont be going back to space for a long time most likely. The US government even wanted to back out of any involvement with the International space station!...

It makes me wonder if we have another secret space program. You don't really think we're just giving up do you? No, I think we do have other, more efficient means of transporting people into space. It's probably a lot cheaper and more reliable too. But since they're using technology we're not supposed to know about, as far as we're concerned the space program is DEAD. I guess keeping the war machine up and running, to keep fighting over resources we don't really need anymore is more important.

@DeathBYDesign666 The VASIMR rocket is supposed to be tested on the international space station by 2013. Much faster and more efficient than what we have now. It's supposed to reach 120,000+ MPH. The concept was researched by Franklin Chang-Diaz with NASA for years and later developed at his company, the Ad Astra Rocket Company. It's already been test fired so I guess we'll see how well it works in 2013.

it's very sad that i will not see space exploration or technology. We have it all wrong i believe we should spend money on exploration , space programs with no budgets and not war or fighting over beliefs and religions.
We as a global race of humans should not waste PAPER money on supplys for this. money is just a symbol. This is moving forword for the human race :(

It's the technology human kind deserves, but not the one it needs right now.
So, we'll end the space shuttle program. Because it can take it.
Because it's not a pioneer.
It's a silent spacecraft. An accomplished explorer.

I think the private companies would do a much better job than NASA... matter of fact, if it were private we would have landed on Mars already... so long as there isn't a bunch of government red tape getting in the way, let the private companies take over space exploration.

Thank you, a very interesting and timely video. No matter the rights and wrongs of the shuttle development, the reasons, the excuses, the payoffs or losses, it still represented an enormously successful chapter in the history of space, or near Earth exploration.
Having enjoyed ( and felt heartache at times ) this exciting ride, I look forward to the next step.

Ah, the booster test site is not in Clearfield, it's outside Corrine, way out away from the population centers of the Wasatch Front. ATK's offices are in West Valley City. Looks like they found an ATK warehouse at Freeport Center (a site near Clearfield), and decided the rocket tests were going on there. Pretty poor research.
