@playerdepimp Because the USA makes all the movies. Movies that feature the US "losing" something would cause a stir where it matters most for the movie box office. the US.
Hey Harry, we're sitting on 4 mil pds of fuel, 1 nuclear weapon and 270 mil movinf parts built by the lowest builder. That is as classic as the Blues Brothers. Love this movie.
@BENJIMANBREEG33 other countries did get involved. for instance, the shuttle landed in a RUSSIAN space station, the Mir, to refuel. likewise, the RUSSIAN cosmonaut helped get the second car to the drill site and they were able finish the drilling when he was able to fix the thrusters to get the car to land after they made the jump over the crater. the RUSSIAN also helped get the shuttle off of the moon, so other countries did get involved.
@knight6 Oh yeah, the silly Russian with the terrible accent, who was all alone in the station, that they just blew up. And yeah, the Russian just smashed the engine room up with a steel pole, that'll work. America isn't the most powerful country in the world, so it wouldn't have been them going up.
@BENJIMANBREEG33 Are we not? So who is little phaggot? We have the biggest and most extensive resources put into our military and space agencies and it is us who will be the leading factor incase a scenario like this will (god forbid) ever come. You think the Mexicans, Chinese, or Japanese are capable of this? Yes, probably, but nobody, even the Russians have the expertise like we do in this category.
Fk off and ur just jealous cause USA is better than ur country.
@KawasakiPlant China is fast overtaking you. Na, it'd be a joint thing obviously, not America just doing it alone, without telling anyone, and sending up a bunch of tards from an oil company lol. Jealous? Better than mine? In what way? We're a tiny island. Every country has its problems. I guess at least, we don't have "pro-life" people trying to blow up abortion clinics, and we get free healthcare.
max q outside the atmosphere, ET separation at the same time as SRBs, main engines still burning without ET, russian space station was not in an earth lunar transit orbit, not enough fuel and no place to store it to get to the moon with crafts of that size, speed too great for shuttle heat shields from lunar return trajectory.
@Aturayd Diferent Launch Profile (?), Internal Tankage + Crossfeed, internal Tankage, Never intended for that (you're right), Fictional License (NTR-SSME?!), another material for shielding... do you need more fictional licenses? :P
@SFisher1993 thanks, the orbiter is designed to orbit the Earth in the high atmosphere only. The one in the movie was probably propellednon space by extra rocket components like the seen at 4:13.
@TheJTSniper98 They look like that because they're not the usual NASA shuttles. They're (according to the movie) designed by the US Air Force, and clearly not designed for exploration missions. :)
This hit the nail on the head. If the Doomsday asteroid was coming to hit Earth it would be up to America to try and stop it while the rest of the world just watched and prayed we save them. We should only do if they agree to give us all the oil, gold, and become indebted to our every whim.
I've dressed you tonight, not as the president of the United States. Not as the leader of a country. But as as a citizen of humanity. We are faced with the gravest of challenges. The Bible calls this day Armageddon, the end of all things. And yet for the first time, in the history of the planet, a species has the technology to prevent their own extinction, all of your praying needs to know. That everything that can be done to prevent this disaster, is been called in the service....
Best movie ever! BUT fuck that bitch at 2:02!!! So only now, when the father is sent to save the world is he accepted again? Well i got news for you bitch, if he wasent good enough before, you can just go fuck yourself!
@SveaMike She and the kid didn't know about the asteroid till the day of the launch. Since it might be their last day on Earth and the man is trying to save them all seemed like the best time to tell the kid who his daddy really is and give the man his appreciation. BTW, in case anybody didn't know that chick was April in the original TMNT movie!
This scene would be nothing without Trevor Rabin's amazing music. Michael Bay always find someone with amazing music skills for his movies. For example, The Rock = Hans Zimmer, The Island/Transformers = Steve Jablonsky, and Armageddon = Trevor Rabin. I would also give credit to the co-producers, like Harry Gregson Williams, Nick Glennie-Smith, etc..
You know what i'd REALLY love to see? A video playing the epic launch orchestra, but during the launch of a fuckin' Saturn 5,no wait! TWO Saturn 5s launching at the same time like in this scene. THAT would be badass.
I can't believe that president Bush will retire the shuttle program right after the ISS building is complete and right after the loss of Columbia this is what happens when people don't think of the long term affect
@Alexander19851 Bush has nothing to do with it, he is no long the president just a private citizen. Bush was an advocate of the space program, unlike Obama who is the one who cut funding to NASA and killed the shuttle program.
If you pay close attention you can spot about a zillion continuity errors but it doesn't matter because this is the most epic movie ever produced by Hollywood.
@Alexander19851 I said the same thing a few posts back, and some internet astronaut tried to tell me I was wrong, and that this launch was pretty accurate. oh geez.
This scene is so realistic. If the Doomsday asteroid was going to destroy Earth it would be up to America to try to prevent it. The rest of the world could only hope that America is able to save them all. I say we only do it on 2 conditions: 1) China gives us all their money and 2) the Middle East turns over all the oil.
@SniperViper1000 Really? What are they going to do? I'm sure in Europe they could give free healthcare to the all the people who will be dealing with stress. In China they would try and find a way to use footage from this movie to try and pass it off as them saving the world they same way they used footage from "Top Gun" and tried to pass it off as their new fighter jet in action. And in Africa they could throw spears at the asteroid like the Na'vi people in "Avatar"
You know there's also Canada, Japan, India, South America. Australia, New Zealand, Russia etc...
These 7 alone could save the world. Europe alone could also save the world. Africa also has very developed natinos such as Morroco and South Africa. Lastly, if the world was in threat of being destroyed you couldbet YOUR FUCKING ASS THAT CHINA WOULD DO ALOT MORE THEN COPY AND PASTE! They would take that oppurtunity to actually SAVE the world.
@SniperViper1000 What you call "generalizations" a person using logic would call "common sense" do you really think that China, Canada, New Zealand (are you kidding me? New Zealand?) would have any chance of doing anything to stop a Doomsday asteroid? How many countries have put a man on the moon? 1, the United States. How many countries have put a man into space? 3, and wasn't able to do it until 2003, LOL. And the Chinese can only send their "astronauts" up into space for 1 day at a time
1. Yuri Gagarin, a Russian, was the first man ever in space
2. USA does not have a manned space program now because of the retirement of the shuttles, and won't have it for a while because of funding issues
3. China has successfully put men into space, performed spacewalking and is underway to construct their own space station
4. China is also attempting its first moon landing. Their main rivals are Russia and India rather than the US because they canceled the Constellation program
5. Almost all projects in space in the past decade are the result of international coorporations between space agencies from around the world, including NASA, Roscosmos, ESA, JAXA etc.
6. Ever since the end of Apollo, space exploration has gone backwards: First we still had some sophisticated space probes like Voyager and Cassini, then we're stuck in LEO with Space Shuttles, but at least with ISS and Hubble, and now we have... nothing
@MStiff726 You do know it was a fictional film, right? Directed by an American. He can put whoever the hell he wants on that asteroid to save the day. If you feel your country was left out, that's tough. Become a film maker and put all of your countrymen in it.
@MStiff726 Just saying America is out of usable rockets to go into space. The last Atlantis shuttle took off a couple of weeks ago. If this doomsday asteroid happened. We would all have to turn to the Russians to prevent it. They are the only ones now who have usable rockets. Sooooo yeah.
I address you tonight not as the President of the United States, not as the leader of a country, but as a citizen of humanity. We are faced with the very gravest of challenges. The Bible calls this day “Armageddon” – the end of all things. And yet, for the first time in the history of the planet, a species has the technology to prevent its own extinction.
0:42 - 0:50 This is by far one of the most important quotes in this movie, and one of the most important attitudes for humanity. We, as humans, are soon to be no longer limited by our ability to effect change in our environment, in our ability to survive. Against almost anything this planet can throw at us, we have the ability to survive. All we are limited by is how we treat one another. We have been slowed down by our differences, but it is time to embrace our united humanity, as one species
why are people so pesimistic, ITS A MOVIE, What are movies made for? Entertainment... So blow the cliches and realisticness, and acuraccy out of your asses.
It was a great popcorn movie, but the lake of realistic accuracy throughout is just funny if you step back and think about it. For what this movie is trying to be though....9/10 in my book.
If I want to watch an accurate depiction of space, i'll watch when we left earth: the nasa missions. Personally, this is pure entertainment, and honestly it doesnt NEED accuracy. Its full of cliches and random explosions, but it was the 90s. We loved that stuff in our action movies.
@MrFryhead957 Possibly having at least one scientific inaccuracy in almost every space- or NASA-related shot (note: shot, not scene; each scene has many) has something to do with it.
If you think about it, what does having two shuttles mean in terms of film logic? It's so pointless. They never DO anything with the other shuttle except fly it and then lose it. Obviously, it gives them the ability to dramatically crash one shuttle and set up dramatic tension and suspense and kill off a lot of characters to manufacture a tear-jerking scene. As soon as I saw the two shuttles, I instantly knew one was going down.
@nfinn42 Maybe you're wrong... some plans for space missions (including the original moon an mars missions planned by Von Braun, and also the soviet unmmaned probes) involves two identical ships for one reason: REDUNDANCE. If a craft failed, the other could accomodate the two crews (this doesn't apply on soviet probes :P), complete the mission and return. This strategy worked here and, due the same reason, a space mission ALWAYS had a MAIN CREW and a RESERVE CREW .
There are scientific inaccuracies, I guess that is why they call it a science FICTION movie. Just shut up and enjoy the ride. Movie is actually fantastic.
Freedom crew. Independence crew. Imagine launching multiple space shuttles at once, formation flying up into space. This will happen in the future, sooner or later.
@tore28 Perhaps, but NASA will never be stupid enough to launch them right next to each other where they could get caught in each other's backwash / struck by each other's flying debris / be unable to get out of the way if the other one has a catastrophic launch failure or has to abort. It's just pointlessly stupid.
I don't know if the makers of the movie actually know basic geography. But how on Earth is it possible that it's daytime in France , Italy, Istambul, India,(!) and the United States at the same time?!
@Apokalipsz42 Because no producer feels to take in to account that little piss of nerds like you will watch the movie just to bitch about everything that isn't right. Because if they would, movies would suck.....a lot. Thats why you have no taste, therefore your arguments arn't valid.
@CyclonicTuna023 well , just to take the argument to your level, why don't you suck the cock your precious producers and masturbate to your fucking cheesy full of cliché that you call a movie. if a movie is not realistic its fucking BAD, period. Now run along and watch transformers or some other piece of shit, than wasting my time to read your pathetic reply. I didn't propose the question to people like you "oo I watched a lame action movie anyone who thinks its bad is a loser/nerd"
"youknow we're sitting on 4 million pounds of feul, one nuclear weapon and a thing that has 2070 moving parts, built by the lowest bidder. makes you feel good doesn't it?"
Take a close look at this movie...Deep Impact....both movies have a Space Shuttle ATLANTIS. In this movie it starts out with the ATLANTIS getting destroyed with meteors. Both movies have a mission for an E.L.E. event. Do some research on Comet Elenin, Nibiru, Planet X...you will see a clear message. No fear, just information to prepare emotionally, spiritually and physically. ;) Note: We just launched our ATLANTIS for it's "last mission".
@ScholarConsciousness It's an enormous irony that in at least 3 movies, Atlantis has been destroyed for one or another reason, while in the real world, she made the final flight of the shuttle program... :P
@Marchingfreak123 Trevor Rabin? Are you serious? He's the guy you hire when you can't even afford Danny Elfman.
Listen to the soundtrack to Apollo 13. Or better yet, just watch the video of the launch sequence in that movie. Blows Armageddon out of the water. (But then, that entire movie does - frame for frame, shot for shot. :)
The last shuttle launches in exactly minutes to the second. I am really sad right now and almost crying. God speed to the crew of Atlantis and may the Space Shuttle program live on forever. Armageddon is also one of my favourite films and it was a great tribute to the space shuttles. Rock on Bruce Willis and the crew of this amazing movie.
There were so many great parts to this movie, the acting, the directing, writing this movie is just beautifle in the way it was created...one of my many favorite movies of all time I still watch it to this very day michael bay's a genious director.
best scene in the movie. and i will be watching this before the final space shuttle launch next month. and to the people that say Michael Bay is a horrible director, you are just ignorant. this movie is a piece of work that deserves it's awards. it's the best movie ever in my opinion, but another michael bay movie could beat it this summer. we'll see.
Formation flying with space shuttles.... now that is why I love Jerry Bruckheimer movies, they are so cool and he gives a fuck in authentic realism, he sticks to "cool realism" and that's why we love him.
"That man's your daddy" Christ how can you not get goosebumps. Parts of this movie were so hokey but damn it you are not moved by this check your pulse. Watch the clip of the launch scene from Apollo 13 with the wives looking up. Hey Obama you know why I know you aren't an AMERICAN.... boy...because you are incapable of understanding what makes AMERICA/AMERICANS great. We reach beyond the average (space is only one example). You hunter/gatherer just look for the next wilder beast to feed on.
@thesnorklemonkey What a coincidence finding you here. Haha its not that, its just the heart of it. I agree, physics do not work well with this, but its just, especially as an American, that this movie (especially this scene) fuels our hearts to achieve great things.
Apollo 13 is better.

@MStiff726 You do know it was a fictional film, right? Directed by an American. He can put whoever the hell he wants on that asteroid to save the day. If you feel your country was left out, that's tough. Become a film maker and put all of your countrymen in it.

@MStiff726 Just saying America is out of usable rockets to go into space. The last Atlantis shuttle took off a couple of weeks ago. If this doomsday asteroid happened. We would all have to turn to the Russians to prevent it. They are the only ones now who have usable rockets. Sooooo yeah.

Why would the SRB's separate at the same time as the External Fuel tank?
TehCheese 5 months ago
@TehCheese In a world where...
- the two shuttles are in separate launch pads but the astronauts get into them by the same one pad,
- the shuttles fly very close to each other,
- at the end of the roll maneuver they're back to the initial position again,
- the SRB/ET separation comes immediately after the Max-Q (maximum dynamic pressure) phase,
- the SSMEs continue to burn without an ET,
- the shuttles fly in space like an airplane in the air...
Everything can happen!

I address you tonight not as the President of the United States, not as the leader of a country, but as a citizen of humanity. We are faced with the very gravest of challenges. The Bible calls this day “Armageddon” – the end of all things. And yet, for the first time in the history of the planet, a species has the technology to prevent its own extinction.

0:42 - 0:50 This is by far one of the most important quotes in this movie, and one of the most important attitudes for humanity. We, as humans, are soon to be no longer limited by our ability to effect change in our environment, in our ability to survive. Against almost anything this planet can throw at us, we have the ability to survive. All we are limited by is how we treat one another. We have been slowed down by our differences, but it is time to embrace our united humanity, as one species

If I want to watch an accurate depiction of space, i'll watch when we left earth: the nasa missions. Personally, this is pure entertainment, and honestly it doesnt NEED accuracy. Its full of cliches and random explosions, but it was the 90s. We loved that stuff in our action movies.

MrFryhead957 6 months ago
@MrFryhead957 Possibly having at least one scientific inaccuracy in almost every space- or NASA-related shot (note: shot, not scene; each scene has many) has something to do with it.
nfinn42 6 months ago
If you think about it, what does having two shuttles mean in terms of film logic? It's so pointless. They never DO anything with the other shuttle except fly it and then lose it. Obviously, it gives them the ability to dramatically crash one shuttle and set up dramatic tension and suspense and kill off a lot of characters to manufacture a tear-jerking scene. As soon as I saw the two shuttles, I instantly knew one was going down.
Tired disaster-movie cliches are so boring. :\

MrFryhead957 6 months ago
@nfinn42 Maybe you're wrong... some plans for space missions (including the original moon an mars missions planned by Von Braun, and also the soviet unmmaned probes) involves two identical ships for one reason: REDUNDANCE. If a craft failed, the other could accomodate the two crews (this doesn't apply on soviet probes :P), complete the mission and return. This strategy worked here and, due the same reason, a space mission ALWAYS had a MAIN CREW and a RESERVE CREW .

Freedom crew. Independence crew. Imagine launching multiple space shuttles at once, formation flying up into space. This will happen in the future, sooner or later.
tore28 6 months ago
@tore28 Perhaps, but NASA will never be stupid enough to launch them right next to each other where they could get caught in each other's backwash / struck by each other's flying debris / be unable to get out of the way if the other one has a catastrophic launch failure or has to abort. It's just pointlessly stupid.

Take a close look at this movie...Deep Impact....both movies have a Space Shuttle ATLANTIS. In this movie it starts out with the ATLANTIS getting destroyed with meteors. Both movies have a mission for an E.L.E. event. Do some research on Comet Elenin, Nibiru, Planet X...you will see a clear message. No fear, just information to prepare emotionally, spiritually and physically. ;) Note: We just launched our ATLANTIS for it's "last mission".
