Simply incredible. Shuttle launches always amaze me. I was inspired by Discovery's last launch to make a very high quality 'launch audio only' video (no music). It's pretty impressive if you have a sound system that can annoy the neighbors. watch?v=OnoNITE-CLc
@Icarusdecending82 Thank the chinese for creating rockets centuries ago? HAHA you mean fireworks? There is a big difference between a controled nuclear reaction lifting a space shuttle and a crew of humans blasting out into space and a stupid firecracker.....your pathetic at best.
@maurigian1 Firstly, its "you're" not your. There is a difference between modern rocket fuel and the old rocket fuel the Chinese discovered but they still had the first rockets. Just as there is a difference between modern artillery and a Napoleonic canon...but they're still both principly the same. Fact of the matter is that rocketry was born in China and you cannot dispute that.
@Icarusdecending82 Oh excuse my horrible English I'm from Germany, so my englishis just second hand. So what are you? a Chinese person ? Modern rocketry was born from German scientists, that's right ..Von Braun ? your ludicrous statement equals to me saying caveman invented the car because they drew a circle on a cave. Chinese people have never and will never invent anything,their tiny brains are too occupied with "fortunes" they are only good at copying others and claiming it as theirs.
@blacksoilder10 Can you read? Im not trying to say IM saying chinese did NOT invent space rockets...is that hard to understand? Sure they might have invented fireworks but the fact that I anything can go up with momentum is hardly a breakthrough and more of an established fact..heck i can even make a 2 little soda with altoids mixed go up...so with that in mind NASA and the modern space program was the brainchild of German scientists from WW2 if you need facts there is a thing called google.
@maurigian1 no shit...... but the way you worded your statement. it made it look like you were tryna say that chinese diddnt invent rockets (not talking about space)
@Icarusdecending82 I worked for a year transfer n California more specifically in the bay area at a Swiss biotech company and they have all this Chinese and Asian scientists that in my opinion have nothing to do with science and more to do with arriving at work playing scientists drinking green tea and going home in an expensive German car for doing absolutely nothing. No wonder so many biotech firms went underwater in California, what a pathetic bunch.
To the naysayers on the accuracy of this film, please check out my own launch videos at /JohnS72 most of what is still there filmed from KPP. The "crackle" is not adequately captured by recorders any more than true majesty of what eyes see are captured electronically. Someone already said that - it's true. The sound has a weird whispy sound and suddenly all goes silent. The vehicle, going away from launch site goes supersonic, and sound will never reach ground.
I've filmed these over the years and many of my own videos have similar sound. I prefer to film from KPP/Titusville (free and easy to get out) where the view is better, the sound is similar. The pop/crackle is caused by the fact the SRB's are not an even thrust but rather a continuous series of explosions going off in rapid succession, which causes discomfort and rattling aboard vehicle as the SRB tubes burn from inside out. Echo from speakers set up at Press Site.
I really like these rare twilight launches, when the vehicle climbs into the sunshine from the shaded surface of Earth. Great job! Endeavor's last launch may look very much like this, as it is going up shortly before sunset.
@Zoomer30 So I guess you are saying, conspiracies don't exist, right? The government is always right all the time even when they admit to their conspiracies after videos/audio proof is presented. Presidents been issued impeachments and politicians going to jail for these crimes, all that is fake? The shuttle Launches are real, getting into orbit is real, the moon landing is very questionable. If something is debatable at such magnitude, it is a HOAX...
@GUARDIANtrooper you are incompetent and have NO proof whatsoever. people smarter than you have taken their best shot over the past 40 yrs at presenting any credible evidence and failed miserably.
without any proof its just a bunch of wild eyed claims like chicken little yelling the sky is falling !
I challenge you to present ANY proof of what you claim and I will easily refute ANY claim made by the flat earth society. I have no security clearance, I can post here at will. put up or shut up !

Really inaccurate title. Audio has been altered to create an echo. Of all the launch videos I have seen directly from NASA TV, including the full HD launches, NONE have this echo. Besides anybody can make the shuttle engines sound really loud just by raising the volume level of the audio track.

Pop and crackle is from the exhaust breaking the sound barrier in much the same way that lightning moves the air out of the way at such a high velocity that the air itself breaks the sound barrier producing thunder.
Or, it could be they have all the subwoofers on! LOL
"Really loud" space shuttle launch -- is there any other kind?
I saw one in person from the press site (STS-9) and what impressed me most was that popping sound, like the air is being ripped apart. Microphones don't do it justice.
@ApolloWasReal I agree about audio not adequately capturing the sound. I'd add that no video nor still photo I've seen adequately captures the vivid color of the exhaust plume.
Manned launches I've witnessed from the vicinity of KSC: Apollo 15, 16 & 17. STS-42 & STS-133
@smart451cab I am so jealous of you... With this year being so busy for me i missed my chances to get to FL and won't be able to see the last one launch... so sad.
@smart451cab Yes!~ Well said! I am interested in doing an e-mail interview with you about the "eye candy" aspect of the Shuttle and what your observations are of the Shuttle v. Delta IV Heavy / Atlas 5 / Space X v. your Apollo launch observations. I imagine without all the booster excitement or "eye candy" as I call the Shuttle launches, the main feature of witnessing Saturn V would have to be size and how slowly it launched, and how quickly it accelerated. Like could you "see" staging?
@T800System Thats great if thats what you believe. I'm not trying to take that away from you. The reality is in your original comment you suggest scientist build shuttles. The technicians & engineers who actually do it or did it were not trying to acquire knowledge but just build a shuttle.
you really think they are that obtuse? I'm pretty sure they recognise that their developments in aerospace technology are contributing to scientific research..
if you wanna argue semantics with me then by all means - yeah, I understand that fundamentally an engineer is different from a scientist but where aerospace technology is involved I stick by my original point in that you can qualify them as scientists
@T800System: Having been an engineer on several science missions (my signature is twice on Mars), I darn well know that the engineers and technicians who work on the programs are every bit as infused with interest for the goals of the mission. Do they enjoy the technical hurdles as they do so? Damn betcha. Would they do it for zero pay? Some would, if their family commitments could permit. I know I spent many long hours through the night doing things not absolutely necessary.
exactly. to assert that they are just low brow technicians and engineers does a disservice to everything they do and thats why I qualify them as men of science.
Hi, I'm planning on going from brazil to the US next february to see the last shuttle launch. From where were you watching this? Do I have to pay anything? Is the view good?
@TheKalinLihou It goes straight up and then slowly pitches over in a curve to throw itself horizontally into perpetual orbit around the earth. Thats how it builds up the incredible 17000 MPH speeds, as there is less resistance from air and gravity once you get to a certain altitude and angle. The angle has to be just right as too steep and it will fly off into space, and too shallow and it will fall too earth.
@KevLancaster1 YES! Excellent post! If you go to my you tube page /FloridaBeachMG you'll see an educational video I've just reposted from STS-124, Mark Kelly's most recent flight. People think it's over when the SRB's separate, but it's just getting started! You are SO right! The challenge for the 51.6 degree inclinations is to make up for the speed bonus lost by not going into the easiest KSC inclination, 28.5 - costs altitude and fuel and lowers payload. KSC's Speed bonus: 914 mph.
@FloridaBeachMG The first 15 min of going to the moon are the hardest to accomplish and the easiest to prove, as millions have seen it lots of times. Once out of the atmosphere and gravity of Earth the task becomes easier. Why oh why do these conspiracy idiots still insist we never went to the moon?! Have you seen the British documentary about the Apollo missions "In The Shadow Of The Moon" Check it out if not. The music is incredible.
@TheKalinLihou, the shuttle isn't supposed to go straight up; it has to achieve a massive 15,000 mph VERTICAL speed to stop it from falling back to earth. if it were to go straight up, the shuttle would just fall back to earth after the boosters burned up.....
Popcorn!!!! :D. That's what it sounded like to me. Also, that fireball coming from the shuttle right after launch lit up the sky to make it look like day o.O
Heck ! Thats the best Time to Steal a car while every single Car Alarm Goes Off at the same time, Everyone's Looking Up in The Bright Night Sky "No need to check our Hummer Honey, nothing Will Spoil our 4 of July Honeymoon !!
Its hard to appreciate it on video. Truely amazing watching seven people literally blown off the earth. In person it's not as loud as I imagined, but it is much brighter than film can convey. You can follow it for a full four minutes after liftoff with the naked eye.
I never get sick of watching launches. Leaving Earth is such a massive achievement for us...pity the news here in Australia is too busy showing football scores to EVER show something this amazing!
Well of course its pretty cool we were able to build sth like the ISS, but it isnt really "leaving earth". Its rather like flying very high but far from escaping our planet.
@Alexfan14 Actually, once the shuttle is aloft for just a few seconds, it is moving much faster than the speed of sound and all that noise is behind them and never catches up.
it is not loud on a camera b.c the sound has a limit, but in real life its horrible, imagine tons of solid fuel being burned at once, that makes a big ass lous mafaking sound that will blow your mind, its worse than those sonic booms from passing by jets.
Yes it is exciting, but isn't it basically just ancient chinese bottle rocket technology? I am looking forward to new forms of propulsion ie. electrogravitic drives.
we had 2 f16s do a flyby at PTI airport last year, with full after burners. And the same thing happened, every cars alarm in the wharehouse was going off. That was so friking loud. Everyone inside came running out.
Dude(bunch of numbers) you assumed that he stated that the purpose for setting the alarm was so that it would go off. This is incorrect because he stated that they purposefully locked their cars so that someone won't break in while they are watching the launch. The noise then shakes the cars and sets them off. Just drop the fight and get on with your lives. Btw great movie!

The capling sound you hear is in fact the hot gaz exiting the nozzle like 4-5 time the speed of sound. Hundreds of sonic boom. So awesome :D

Its hard to appreciate it on video. Truely amazing watching seven people literally blown off the earth. In person it's not as loud as I imagined, but it is much brighter than film can convey. You can follow it for a full four minutes after liftoff with the naked eye.

Unfortnatly, Nasa lost its funding, so now we are stuck on earth for the next few years and Nasa sends all of its equipment to Russia.

I wonder if in the space shuttle itself, if it is loud as well.
Alexfan14 1 year ago
@Alexfan14 Actually, once the shuttle is aloft for just a few seconds, it is moving much faster than the speed of sound and all that noise is behind them and never catches up.

Solid fuel boosters are a great threat for shuttles. They make it badly damaged increasing chanses of another disaster

Dear All,
I have some questions about psychology:
(1) Why do we love space travel?
(2) Why do we want to explore the space?
(3) Why do we enjoy the feeling of zero gravity and floating in space?
(4) what is the social value(s) represented by space exploration?
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE for your creative ideas and brainstorm!!! :)

it is not loud on a camera b.c the sound has a limit, but in real life its horrible, imagine tons of solid fuel being burned at once, that makes a big ass lous mafaking sound that will blow your mind, its worse than those sonic booms from passing by jets.

TrickyEmu 2 years ago 2
Dude(bunch of numbers) you assumed that he stated that the purpose for setting the alarm was so that it would go off. This is incorrect because he stated that they purposefully locked their cars so that someone won't break in while they are watching the launch. The noise then shakes the cars and sets them off. Just drop the fight and get on with your lives. Btw great movie!
