STS-125 Hubble Release

[manaray10]

wow thats so amazeing it just looks so unreal

[umeshkmr91]

perfectt

[Calibra280]

i love this crew , i watching  everyday on nasa tv , this crew is awesome

[munchkin0518]

Awesome, in the fullest sense of the word. Awe-inspiring.

[007InMiami]

An old style earth space probe captain, possibly some kind of... telescope.

A telescope?

Yes captain, measuring 5.7...BANG!

Evasive action Mr. Sulu!

[Rammsteinify]

crew should of hurled it better.

[MotorSportsVideos]

And you would do better?

[007InMiami]

LOL! I know, who does that guy think he is?

[paranoid492]

0:50 its benny hinn! XD

[LonSeidman]

Excellent work on the Hubble repair. Everyone at NASA are true professionals.. Thank you for your service.

[TheSilentHero1]

This is utterly awe-inspiring. Viewing the Earth from space, or looking into that void from a spaceship, is definitely one of the most profound experiences of your life.

[crewstv]

does anyone know what sort of camera they use.. actual make and model??

[singedrac]

Great job!

[mls633]

Thank you dad and mom for everything. With out you I would not be a part of this. AWESOME!

[mls633]

All that matters is bring the shuttle home safe tomorrow. Thank you so much to all of the brave people and this increadible video.

[cuppadan]

Well said!

[cuppadan]

This is supposed to be a forum for commenting on the wonders of the Hubble and space. Why do right-wingers and name callers have to spoil this great moment in our history.

[nilbud]

Actually it's the comments section on youtube and if you consider watching a youtube clip to be an historic moment you should take some acid.

[utubin67]

my problem with the hubble is that no matter how far the hubble goes, human beings can't go that far out and it's like we are limited by the 'intelligent designer' or 'god' or whatever.. it's just the same principal as why you drown if you can't swim or why fire is hot every time you touch it. It's made that way! I believe we, humans, are here on earth for a 'lesson' i'm not sure what is behind this lesson.. still it makes sense because lessons are about the only thing that mean something.

[nilbud]

Give your chin a wipe

[singedrac]

Uh, Hubble was just recently serviced by human beings. What do you mean "human beings can't go that far out"?

I mean, that's why Hubble IS "that far out". We sent it there.

[utubin67]

no that is NOT 'far out'.

[utubin67]

can anyone explain how or why for example a satellite will 'orbit' around the earth. I would like an expert explanation if possible and would appreciate it as well.

[Pferdekopfnebel]

You've got the speed which makes it "want" to go straight so it will move away from earth.

But then you've got gravity which pulls on it and lets it move around earth.

There has to be a balance. Otherwise it will either leave the orbit or it will crash down to earth.

centripetal force = gravitational force

m*v^2/r=G*M*m/r^2

m:mass of your satellite

v:speed of the satellite

r:distance from earth's core

G:constant of gravity

M:mass of the earth

[somekindawizard]

Science rules

[cuppadan]

One dimensional thinkers usually rebutte with a nonsensical answer.

Rebublicans do it all the time.

[ZeroHumans]

Hubble can't detect other planetary civilizations. The advanced space faring civilization monitoring Earth is based in Big Dipper. Headquarter stars of the Federation are called Mizar, Alioth and Megrez, about 80 light years from Earth. Gliese 581 planet which is 20 light years away was recently detected by Earth scientists but this planet is used as a remote outpost of the Federation.

[hesperus7]

Atlantis and Crew.....wishing you a safe flight home...looking forward to seeing you land Saturday at Kennedy.... : )

[XStreetKingSX]

Awsome.........i wish i'll be there someday.

[Deepurple88]

Awesome!

[QuantumStates]

These guys make it look so peaceful up there. Wonderful.

[cslevine]

i notice at 3'16" the begining of something that's sounds like a techno rythmic sequence ! ...

But this is not : This is 9 shots of the attitude engines of the shuttle ( RCS / or OMS... ? ), in translation mode, for making the shuttle move far the telescope !

but i'm not sure : maybe someone in the cabin make a small joke by typing, in rythme with the bass sounds of the gas ejections. ( someone is laughing ;-)

[USAheartland]

One thing the Space Program, the Shuttle, and Hubble have provided is a viable hope that if we work hard we may be able to find SOMEWHERE to live as a species before everything here is used up, burned up, torn up.

[utubin67]

ps- the first alien I see I'm going to snitch on our human race and beg them to take me to their planet.... We need alien's to come here and fix our broken civilization. All the crooks, scammers, and sheisters have ruined our planet and the human spirit! I will tell the alien's that the entire purpose of life here on our planet evolves around the 'dollar' bill- The alien mind will immediately see the defect in this kind of philosophy and know just how fk'd our civilization is! HELP UFO.. HELP!

[Orlor]

And what if the aliens are only here as tax shelter?

If things are so bad here on Earth, there's a way out you know.

[utubin67]

Yeah and since i don't drink, smoke or do drugs Im fk'ed again! HELP UFO!!! DOWN HERE!!! CAN YOU SEE ME? I'VE GOT TO TELL YOU GUYS SOMETHING!! SAVE US!!

[utubin67]

Hey Orlor... u thinkin bout "a way out"? what was your plan?

[Majpain007]

lol

[nilbud]

You're talking about the USA, it's because you keep electing republican criminals and being a bunch of indecent grasping swine. If you stopped that it'd get better what you need is the EU not UFOs.

[utubin67]

most scientists are no different than a guy on a corner playing 3 card monty. They're just looking for some way to rip off taxpayers.. taxpayers the never-ending well of money. Well the well is almost dry so all the scammers well they won't have a gig much longer...

No matter how deep a scientist digs to explain to us why it's important to go to space I will always know that it's only to get satellites up there to make money down here! cellphones, gps, satellite radio, internet.. cha-ching!

[singedrac]

You've never met any scientists I imagine.

If scientists wanted to rip off taxpayers they would have become bankers instead.

Scientists are interested in expanding human knowledge for its own sake, and corporations aren't willing to pay for science unless it's for research known to be profitable. The rest of the science is funded by the government because it's beneficial to the species. Useful discoveries are made that wouldn't have been were only private funds available.

[MusicalFan1701]

O.K. utubin67, don't purchase anything invented by a scientist, then your conscience will be clear.

By the way, NASA's annual budget is $21 billion, compared to the Federal budget of $3.8 trillion (3800 billion).

Scientists are human beings too and are entitled to earn a living - the welfare budget is many times greater than NASA's.

[StonesDunedin]

Who decides how much funding those fields of endeavor will receive, and who decides which ones are worthy of receiving funds? In the end it is likely to be a political decision. A wealthy country can probably afford to fund scientific investigations as well as looking after the poorer members of its society.

[StonesDunedin]

History recalls that there have always been explorers in the human race -- people who want to expand their horizons, investigate their surroundings, and understand the complex nature of the environment, the Earth, the Solar System, and Space itself. Apart from space exploration, there are countless scientists around the world 'expanding their horizons' in many fields of endeavor.

[utubin67]

did u pull that out of a book written by a scientist?

[StonesDunedin]

No, I have been a NASA fan for a very long time. I originally wrote it as a post on a forum.

If people like it, and its companion below, they can use it as long as they credit "StonesDunedin on YouTube".

Thanks....

[therealkmagill]

whats that second satellite at 5:25 ?

[CrizzyD]

I think that was the space shuttle's crane?

But wow this is amazing, space is the coolest thing ever! But they need to make it seem less like it's just boring old work and enjoy it a little like the guy who actually smiled at the camera. The guy at the end sounds so cranky I wouldn't want to be stuck in a little compartment in space with him for more than a week.

[gallowspole]

that's the robotic arm of the shuttle

[JephN]

That's not another satellite at 5:25. That's the robotic arm that just released the telescope.

[samvtech]

did someone drop the f bomb in the last 10 seconds? or am I hearing things

[DJCatylist]

its crazy to watch his necklace float around, there isnt anything else really to indicate they are weightless!

[tvwank]

This looks a lot cooler than those boring staged transmissions they do for the news.

[OctoCroc]

how do they coordinate all of this? what happens if some random Russian satellite crashes into them?

[singedrac]

Space is unimaginably vast so this is very unlikely, and most big space objects are very carefully tracked from the ground so if the shuttle was under even a remote threat of collision, they'd move her out of the way.

[BedededeII]

NICE VID!

GRETTINGS FROM ARGENTINA!

I LOVE NASA AND U.S.A!

xoxo!

[Orlor]

Not bad for a species who, just a scant couple hundred thousand years ago were sitting in trees, scratching their butts and wondering where their next meal was coming from.

[jonysuave]

is that the marvin martian gun to blow up the oirth?

[kittypie070]

What??

SUCCEEDING at a very hazardous and extremely difficult repair mission IN SPACE is *not* an achievement??

What do you want out of these people, that they should drink dry the oceans and shatter mountains with their bare fists!!??

I happen to think that the crew of Atlantis

kicked TOTAL FRAKKING BUTT on this flight and accomplished a nearly impossible task.

What can YOU do?

[NarkAnon]

You were making a great point until you said "frakking". :(

[derhamm]

This space telescope deserved to be fixed because it has provided us with arguably the most important and valuable information about our universe than any other single scientific instrument ever.

[USAheartland]

Sorry, derhamm, I meant to hit the thumbs up in agreement.

[heroineworshipper]

Looks like a bunch of people having a good old time on the shoulders of the cold war generation's achievement & having no such achievement of their own to replace it with.

[reevesAstronomy]

They only just fixed THE MOST VALUAbLE scientific instrument ever made!

[UMOdegaard]

What? The Hubble project has done more for human kind than any other space project....

[r32adt3db]

so tell me what it's done? list the top 5 things it's done for me.

[JephN]

whats the last thing you've done for society?

have you inspired curiosity?

have you sparked dreams?

have you contributed to the education world wide?

have you explored beyond your continent or backyard?

would you have learned about the origins of our existence without religion?

Hubble has done all of this.

[MinatoNamikazeSenpai]

Nice try.

[r32adt3db]

answer my question you fucking prick. oh that's right, hubble hasn't done shit for me except take my hard earned money.

[JephN]

Firstly, I answered your question entirely. Secondly, NASA only allows astronomy and astrophysics to get about $1.5 billion per year. Hubble is also 'rented' by organizations, so in the grand scheme of things, your "hard earned money" only amounts to a few cents.

Maybe if you were better educated, or at least less ignorant, you would realize how stupid you sound right now.

[r32adt3db]

you call those answers? give me a fucking break. tangible evidence. 'sparked dreams' does not fucking count for an answer to 'what has hubble done for me'. haha geezus fucking christ you're an idiot.

and yeah, i've been to 15 countries so far. so......

FUCK YOU.

[JephN]

That's real mature.

We've confirmed that black holes exist with the Hubble. I hope you don't have kids or ever plan to, but if you do, they will reap the benefits and knowledge Hubble's provided. Any science book printed in the last 15 years has Hubble images in it. Those images spark dreams, inspiration, kids wanting to grow up and be astronauts.

If you don't like it, take your ignorant ass away from this video and complain to Congress.

[UMOdegaard]

It hasn't done five things, because each 'thing' it does takes many years to complete.

It has discovered the size of the universe and our position in our galaxy, discovered the expantion rate of the universe and many other things like super novas and colliding galaxies.

Name one instrument who has done more for man kind than the Hubble...

But why such a hater? Did Hubble hit you and it hurt? Did it call you dumb at school yesterday? Or maybe it stole your girliefriend...

[heroineworshipper]

If you mortgage bailing out idiots had a clue, you'd realize I was talking about the space shuttle, not Hubble.

[singedrac]

What has the space shuttle done for you? It's put government spy sats into space to help protect you from the enemies of America who wish to destroy you.

Oh and it put Hubble in orbit, too.

[singedrac]

Wah, so many thumbs down for my comment. D:

I'm saying the shuttle and hubble are GOOD, guys. :D

[pflykyle]

why doesn't everyone just stop and realize space is freaking cool.

[whatdamoo93]

wow this is sooooooo coool!!!

[bumpey6]

why are they fixing it ? perhaps to view possible asteroid collision with earth? can never have to many eyes in the sky?

[Atamv]

Lol so they can keep taking pictures of the universe obviously.

[Shardith]

Jeezus, this is awesome!!!

[hernandez1952]

Truly wonderful!

[rdewes]

hoping to see new amazing pictures of the universe!

[frededison]

During one of the latest STS-125 mission updates a reporter asked if there was going to be a fly-around of the HST after release. She was politely told the fly-around took place in the Shuttle cargo bay! Some people don't realize and fully appreciate that it's no Sunday walk in the park. But these guys made it look easy and routine, which is a testament to their professionalism and dedication to the tasks at hand.

Nice job, all. And by "all" I mean _everyone_ who helped to make it happen.

[USAheartland]

I think one reason people don't sometimes grasp the complexity of a mission like this is because they aren't into the math and physics of it. It is a number cruncher's ballet.

[zoidberg444]

Kind of sad that its the last time humans will visit that magnificent piece of technology in orbit. :( I love the shot at around 4.30 of them leaving it behind. And 5.05. The earth is very pretty from that altitude.

[Tommyr]

Friggin' AWESOME!!!! I LOVE this stuff! Great job!!!

[grenangle]

Oh boy oh boy oh boy!!

[cooolllll]

it is so eerie, you would thing this was coming out of a movie or something and every second you are waiting for the UFO to fly by and start shooting lasers or something.

[utubin67]

no we give them minerals not to do that. lol

[cslevine]

Magnifiques pictures. And...

thank you too for having put, for the first time of the shuttle history, some real good quality sound of the internal ambiance ( air cond ) of the space shuttle.

[socoolbob]

Jobs Well Done!

Keep It Up!

God Bless!!!

[cambridge7]

I really have enjoyed watching these guys and gal servicing the Hubble.Tinge of sadness as it floated way never to be seen from this angle again.Great job and may you all come home safely on Friday.

[dyrsten]

Amazing stuff, thank you!

[kilowattson]

No it's the arm. You can actually see it several times earlier in the vid around 5 minutes or so (and a better view). It looks far out because the arm is LONG!

[derek0452]

its the robotic arm at 6:34-6:35

[K46620]

WOW! Great Job, Atlantis! Congrats to all at NASA!

[SabikOv]

Awesome video of the release, breathtaking. I rewound it on my DVR last night!!

A wonderful job from the STS-125 crew - they rock!!

[vebbto]

Great job!!

When are we going to see the first images from hubble? I'm so excited !

[ThyGoddess]

Bye bye hubble.

Good job folks!

[Zshiro]

WOW!!! Great Job to the entire crew (including the ones here at home). Hubble's been here since I was born, can't wait to see the first few images it will get with the upgrade. Later on its supposed to get replaced by the James Webb Space Telescope. It's mirrors are constructed like a honeycomb structure giving it a unison like mirror which will allow us to see more and peer deeper into the cosmos.

[unaka2012]

Freaking awesome. My thanks to the crew of Atlantis and to NASA! Thank you for doing this mission. This is so very important and I look forward to checking out the atmospheres of a few more planets!

[utubin67]

I just had this weird thought the other day about that it never rains in outerspace. You see I have this 'intelligent design' way of thinking and it just seems that everything Earth has, it needs. Isn't that 'intelligent'. We have oceans that create clouds which in turn create rain, the rain gives life to vegetation along with the sun, and oxygen/nitrogen. The planet just seems to all these necessary things for 'life'. I don't think any of it is just a coincidence. Anyone who does?

[unaka2012]

Yes. There are many who think of it as "just a coincidence". Most of them would also say this is oversimplification.

You say that life has everything it needs to exist on Earth. This is a non-sequitur.

You say it's a sign of intelligence. If so, the universe is a poor design for life. 99% of the "stuff" in it is fatal to life as we know it. How is this "intelligently designed"?

Life exists on Earth because conditions allow for it. That is all we know.

Might as well worship the sun. Why not?

[utubin67]

I know a tiny bit about software programming... when you create a program it is based on logic and 'action & reaction' it is written to incorporate all things necessary for the program to 'come alive' and 'provide all things necessary' for the program to be meaningful. I once had this thought that human beings are actually merely a fitration system breathing in air and exhaling carbon dioxide. So we play a role here on Earth which as a planet is part of a much bigger 'life system'. breathe it up

[unaka2012]

Sorry, didn't mean to rant on you there. I understand where you are coming from. I'm just a little hair trigger over YECs and IDers. You don't actually mention a deity, so I don't know what you mean to imply by "intelligent".

My main point is that just because life exists does not mean it was designed. And even if it were, the designer did a darn good job of hiding himself (herself? itself?).

[MattB22890]

You're looking at it backwards. Life adapted to rain, oxygen/nitrogen and everything else on Earth, they didn't just happen to be working perfectly with life. If the planet were hotter or colder, life would adapt to that too.

Also, we're not sure if oxygen/nitrogen, and rain are all "necessary" for life. There could be life out there that survives on other things, like the sulfur vents on the ocean floor or maybe by some other unknown biological process.

[utubin67]

that's a 'what came first the chicken or the egg' argument because you really don't know that I mean after all you werent here on day 1 of planet earth. Also our planet went through violent changes as you know from its condition of origin.

Let me ask you this question. I get the idea that you are an intelligent person.

Since you're so scientific would you agree, then, that we human beings are no more significant than an ant on the ground? don't we over-grandize our importance as a specie?

[singedrac]

Significance is a rather subjective concept. What makes one creature more or less significant than another? Rather, what's the context of your question?

When it comes to decomposition of organic material, bacteria are far more significant than humans.

When it comes to art and poetry, humans are more significant than bacteria.

[utubin67]

let's talk about 'after-life'. Do you believe that an 'ant' and a 'human' end up in the same place which is 'nowhere' once the heart stops beating, or do you think otherwise? If you do think that it's lights out once dead, then why would we 'human beings' be so 'intelligent', spiritual, artistic, etc.. What do you think life is all about, and please don't break life down into minerals and chemical compositions.. be philosophical.. u can do it if you try.

[singedrac]

I don't quite see how the existence of an afterlife or lack of it affects human creativity or intelligence in any way.

Life's about living, I suppose.

[utubin67]

yeah but according to scientists who like yourself won't answer the question about an 'afterlife' hints that it's an area that is more spiritual than scientific so you just avoide it? Okay that's lame but not surprising. Anyway if life is 'about living' why not give me a good reason why I should live this life? What for? To what end? btw I'm expecting another dull answer so I'm pretty sure you and I are done here you are very shallow, no depth to your answers.. just plain boring.

[singedrac]

"scientists who like yourself won't answer the question about an 'afterlife'"

Not "won't" but rather "can't". Scientists literally cannot answer any questions about things they have no measurable data on.

"give me a good reason why I should live this life? What for?"

(1) to have fun.

(2) to help other people have fun.

(3) to help build a better world for your kids.

(4) to help build a better world for everyone.

I could think of more.

"you are very shallow"

At least I am not rude.

[utubin67]

I didn't realize I was wasting my time with some dumb dumb who thinks the meaning of life is 'fun'? That's all you have huh? Okay nice talking with you.. let's see how much fun you're having when life introduces 'loss' to you. Think of your answer at that time and get back to me you dumby.

[singedrac]

So you think we shouldn't have fun in our lives? That doesn't sound very fun. Are you saying loss is a good thing, or at least better than fun?

And no, it's not all I have. Read my previous post again and you'll notice I provided three other "things" in addition to the first one.

And why the insults? Is it that you're unable to make your point logically, so you lower yourself to name-calling because you have nothing else to fall back on?

For a Christian you're not acting very Christian.

[utubin67]

I'm saying 'fun' is half of what we go through it brings us joy and laughter, 'loss' is the other thing and that brings us pain and crying. My question was 'what did this person here think life was about with all his perfect scientific answers one would think he knew all the answers just like most scientists do. All these words, 'big bang' theory, "the asteriod is 40 billion light years away" let me tell you something now.. science is a scam! medicine is a practice no the outerspace, off limits!

[singedrac]

You asked me why you should live your life. I wouldn't say you should live your life specifically to experience loss. I think people should try and enjoy their time here and play nice with others. Have fun! Help people!

Science is NOT a scam. It's not a religion either. It's just a way of learning truth about the world around us through experimentation.

Science never claims to be perfect or to know all the answers. In fact, the goal of science is to prove its theories to be wrong. Weird, huh?

[singedrac]

Incidentally "40 billion light years away" is a nonsense phrase since the universe is roughly 13.7 billion years old.

[ZeroHumans]

No it isn't. Big Bang is just superstition.

[elianoconcerto]

a light year isn't time...

[singedrac]

A light year isn't time, but when we look at universe we are looking back in time. We can't see past the CMB which is only a few hundred years older than the big bang.

[SNOOSTER1]

hey dipshit, 13 billion years is how old the universe is. "40 billion light years away" is not a time, It's a distance. I hope you choke.

[singedrac]

We can't see past 13.7 billion light years so the phrase "40 billion light years" makes no sense.

[SNOOSTER1]

Alright, I apologize, I originally thought that was a "40 million" light years away, not a "40 billion".

I'm a dick. =(

[nilbud]

The universe is bigger than 13.7 billion light years or 27.4 it's much bigger than the visible horizon.

[singedrac]

The universe might be bigger than 13.7 billion light years, but we can't see beyond 13.7 billion light years.

[SNOOSTER1]

uhg, man, sorry for calling u a dip shit but I was having a bad day. I like anyone that thinks about the universe. Anyways

You have distance and time so mixed up. 13.7 years is not a distance. It's how old the universe is. One light year is the distance traveled going light speed for one year ( AKA how far light goes in one year). You seem to think that because the universe is 13.7 billion light years old we cant "see" past that far. The universe is 'almost' infinite, as we know it.

[singedrac]

It's okay SNOOSTER1, we all have our bad days.

Yes, 13.7 billion years is not a distance, it's a time. 13.7 billion light-years is a distance, though, since a light year is a measure of distance.

When we look 13.7 billion light-years away we see an opaque wall of microwave photons. This is called the "Cosmic Microwave Background radiation". It is a relic from when the universe first became transparent .

The universe might be bigger than 13.7 billion light years, but we can't see past the CMB.

[singedrac]

Er, I mispoke. :) nilbud's got a point. It's 13.7 billion light years to the CMB, so even if that's the edge of the universe then the universe would be 27.4 billion light years in size right now since it's a radius and not a diameter.

But yes, it's likely bigger than the visible horizon. I suppose "40 billion light years" isn't exactly a nonsense phrase, but it's a distance that is meaningless to current known science.

[bitbutter]

"If you do think that it's lights out once dead, then why would we 'human beings' be so 'intelligent', spiritual, artistic, etc."

Non sequitur.

All the things that make you, you, (memories emotions skills etc) demonstrably depend on the functioning of the brain--we know this from studies of brain damage victims. Since the brain stops functioning when you die, it seems there's nothing left over for 'you' to be, and without a 'you', 'you' cannot experience an afterlife.

[utubin67]

there are studies that show consciousness remains when the body dies.. get your facts straight! I had a near-death experience hit by a car age 4 broke both legs, fractured skull- I awoke from unconsciousness to my mothers voice "jerry sweetheart, wake up" that's the power of love.. let me tell you nothing is more powerful than love. While unconscious I did not experience any memories and I've been knocked out twice another from a motorcycle accident. That one as well I just woke up like from sle

[singedrac]

(1) Please name these studies. I'm interested in learning more about them.

(2) I'm not sure what your car accident has to do with the afterlife since you didn't actually die.

[bitbutter]

"there are studies that show consciousness remains when the body dies."

Are you sure about that? I'm aware of anecdotal claims that this happens, but not of any studies that have verified it. Can you name one, or provide google keywords that will return an example?

[Dee13i]

Beautiful! I love NASA TV!

[maxcath]

I never fail to be amazed at the awesome work our astronauts and folks at Launch Control and Mission Control accomplish. God bless all of you at N.A.S.A! Too bad the shuttle fleet has to be retired. I never grow tired following the S.T.S. missions on N.A.S.A. tv!

[goombawa]

Truly humbling.

[thehtgrts]

i probably would have a heart attack if i were to be floating our there in all that darkness but at the same time it would be cool :)

[utubin67]

'having a heart attack' and 'being cool' wow how'd you get them both in one sentence.. lol

[Gregster138]

Excellent! You can hear someone off camera ask "Did we reboost it?" Apparently Hubble won't fall out of the sky without one. You can hear the thuds from the thruster pulses! I get chills watching this.

[NoadiArt]

So amazing and beautiful but sad to know these will be the last views of Hubble in space. The next time any of us will see Hubble is when it comes down burning up in the atmosphere. Hopefully that will be many years in the future and Hubble will show us many more wondrous things in the universe first.

Good job guys and come home safe.

[peppeddu]

Too bad Nasa wouldn't be able to bring it back to earth as originally planned.

It would have been an awesome display at the Smithsonian museum.

[btl743]

Goodbye Hubble!

Launched the same year I was born!

[vegasfun2]

This was the most thrilling 6 days of space flight ever. Thanks NASA for the video, Can't wait for the IMAX version

[mrcole92]

Awesome.

[doolok]

That is one awesome view..thank you so much for posting these videos! Come home safe STS-125! Great job!

[Falkirion]

Free flying Hubble once again. Glad to see the release went well. Fare well Hubble.

Here's to a successful landing by Atlantis in a couple of days

[joejames007]

What a beauty!

There are mixed feelings in knowing that this may be the last time in which we see the Hubble Space Telescope...

This videos are the peak of humanity!

[Ludo1950]

What a wonderful experience watching the coverage of the space walks. Just got High Speed Internet and was able to see it all properly. Still in awe.

[fcycles]

Wow, simply amazing video! Thanks to the astronauts of STS-125: Michael J. Massimino, Michael T. Good, Gregory C. Johnson, Scott D. Altman, K. Megan McArthur, John M. Grunsfeld and Andrew J. Feustel! Nice job! :)

[mls633]

The men and women at NASA are bloody heroes. Every one of them.

An inspiration to all Americans! Just like the men in women in service too!

Completely inspirational.

Can't wait for commercial spaceflight companies to get civilians up on a routine basis.

There's so much to discover beyond our tiny rock, and so little time, it seems.
