For some reason the thruster array posted was from the Buran, the Russian shuttle.

[Man2Break]

This documentary lost all of its credibility when it showed the RMS arm on the aft...

[TheEternalUniverse]

@Man2Break the SRMS arm can be located on the aft of the shuttle, its on a rail that goes along the entire cargo bay length....

[Man2Break]

@TheEternalUniverse The RMS couldn't be moved to the aft for the following reasons: The Manipulator retention latches are in the way and the wiring is too complex to be moved around. This data is all provided by NASA's PDRS section of the Shuttle Crew Operations Manual. Page 2.21-1

"...it's more than just a hunk of metal and bolts."

But that IS all it is, Story. That's why it's so cool, and really it's much cooler without the fake mysticism.

[1958louief]

The Best Documentary!! It is the only one I have came across that explains the workings perfect.

[AVIATIO]

One of the greatest feats of mankind ever made...yet the question is...what will come after it?

[KamilWow]

@AVIATIO Ares, a rocket

[pufixas]

fake...

[TheDudeFrom0Z]

@pufixas you are a idiot.

[pufixas]

@TheDudeFrom0Z

Thanks! You are too!

[kirza94]

i swear the Canadarm on the shuttle is at the front not the back ?

[aimhigh59]

@kirza94 Correct it is connected to the fwd port side.

[antidiz]

Awesome documentary, Thanx...

[TheNovum]

its hard to believe that this has been brodcasted at Discovery channel

[MrKevMan]

Uhh, he forgot Challenger. Granted when this was made, Challenger was destroyed, but it was still built and in the fleet at one point in time.

Brits should not do United States history documentaries and vice versa.

[antidiz]

@MrKevMan Yeah, that's the only problem with it.. Should have been done by an American..

[Isuckatpaintball2]

@MrKevMan bullshit go fuck yourself

[bates507]

@MrKevMan the narrator is British but this doesn't mean that it was produced by the British......

[emenentia]

@bates507 Yeah it was... they don't use the term "miles". They use Kilometers.... dead sign that the documentary was produced my British.

[BuonoBruttoCattivo77]

@emenentia "By law and policy, the metric

system is the preferred system of measurement within NASA"

[emenentia]

@BuonoBruttoCattivo77 Fine and dandy for NASA.... but if you read my comment and watch the video, you'd know I was referring to the narrator.

[CrasEntertainment]

@BuonoBruttoCattivo77 Space Shuttle was flown using imperial units. The displays, the GPC, the references, the checklists all list the orbit in terms of Nautical Miles, velocity as feet per second, distance during rendezvous is in feet. Not to far a jump since Aviation is all done in feet and nautical miles, and the Shuttle is a flying machine after all.

[askjiir]

Same narrator that's in the battlefield series. 

[cliffthelightning]

Lol i was like.... 'Columbia?" then i saw it was 1999 when ththis was made

[callmejacko]

amazing just amazing. I can appreciate the American superiority. You have to be extra ordinary to rule the world.

[UltimateVenom]

you just need money and right wing ideals.

[ineffige]

Dude, come on.... Keep your head high, quit that ass licking

[MynameisElliott]

Yeah money helps.

[flightgeek14]
