  • That's strange. There are no covers on the RCS thrusters. I wonder why.

  • Blue-green flame is keenly honed combustion & very hot.

  • @ApoloTR, as always, your Shuttle videos are amazing!

  • So sad to see these wonderful birds being grounded.

  • LIQUID H2 + LIQUID O2= THIS

  • Could you imagine sitting in this cocksucker while it idles up feeling the rumble?

  • Burns so damn hot that it's BLUE!!!!!

  • just love it when the nozzles start flexing and the flames look like they are being pushed away.

  • I wonder why anybody disliked this video...?

    Title says slow motion SSME, and this is exactly what this is!

    Geez, people are not happy about anything these days...

  • That was fucking awesome.

  • @TimeLapseSteve Youre right, everything that can be connected to space, thats awesome. Makes You more "free" if I can say that

  • How do the burn-off sparklers work?

  • @flanksteak6 The spark igniters are enabled by the computer at T-10 seconds. They DO NOT ignite the engines!!! I cant stress that enough! They actually burn off excess hydrogen that has escaped the engine nozzles. If the engines were ignited with a hydrogen cloud nearby then it would damage the nozzles and/or engines.

  • why does the burnoff system continue to run all the way until srb ignition? seems useless once the mains are ignited...i mean, the whole point of those is to burn off vapors BEFORE mes, sooo....yeah.

  • They keep running in case there is a main engine shutdown before the SRB's ignite. It's happened at least twice that I can recall. If the mains shut down, there is quite a bit of unignited fuel that gets ejected.

  • @crazybastard82 there have been 5 instances of main engine cut off prior to SRB ignition and liftoff... and a few residual vapours of hydrogen when this happens, thats why the sparklers continue right up to SRB ignition

  • Nice!!

  • woow

  • WOOOOOOW

  • Absolutely incredible.
