NASA Space Flight STS-121 Take Off

[1234LETStartAwar]

must listen to with Wake Up - arcade fire in background magical 

[GucciRocket]

THE ROCKET SHIP ON MY PAGE IS BETTER

[agent333322]

@GucciRocket it sucks

[LOLO111111111111]

mute this video then play the Star Wars theme song. Perfect fitting haha

[lperalta63]

great nasa



[kankuropuppet10]

Wait, what happens to the big red thing? 

[wbgfsdert]

@kankuropuppet10 its the fuel tank that feeds the booster rockets. The big red tank and the rockees seperate and drop down into the ocean and get recovered.

[MrAndorox]

this rocks .I.

[Pottedful]

its the vechile of god's! 0:44

[Pottedful]

I feel sorry for all the people who had to make all the calculations :D

[DeAtHbEaD543]

When NASA first started sending up astronauts, they quickly discovered that ballpoint pens would not work in zero gravity. To combat the problem, NASA scientists spent a decade and $12 billion to develop a pen that writes in zero gravity, upside down, underwater, on almost any surface including glass and at temperatures ranging from below freezing to 300 C.

The Russians used a pencil.

[soulure]

@DeAtHbEaD543 "NASA scientists spent a decade and $12 billion to develop a pen" False: look it up on snopes dot com.

[AgrivatedKillah]

@DeAtHbEaD543 That's fake you dumb ass.

Why would you even put that?

It was developed not by NASA, however, but by one enterprising individual, Paul C. Fisher, owner of the Fisher Space Pen Company. By his own account, Fisher spent "thousands of hours and millions of dollars" of his own money in research and development — not billions.

I'm flagging your account for spam, and reporting your account.

[jack33343]

@AgrivatedKillah dude just shut up, you dont know what you are talkin about, i remember watching this live, its not fake dumbass

[thespaceboon101]

@uaman11 lol whut

[misterCJpenny]

At 0:37, the blast is so powerfull it blows the reeds around!!!!!!

[uaman11]

who taped me last night? i thought i turned off my webcam.

[galatasarayfan67]

Oh, that bad ass.

[AwesomePossumVids]

I thrust harder than that.

[migly131]

more like transferring to my anal.

[MyRock2011]

Thats Pretty cool. I bet they can discover new Planets

[Skullz1495]

My uncle was an engineer for those things in N.A.S.A.

[PokemonVampireKisses]

I once had this dream where I was standing behind a gate watching a spaceship blast off, then the entire sky grew orange and the smoke started to spread farther than it should have and engulfed everything like a nuclear explosion. The last thing I remember was me going "ooWAAAAAHHHHH!!!" then I woke up :3

[mik1867]

@PokemonVampireKisses AWESOME! ... was i there?

[PokemonVampireKisses]

@mik1867 hmmm... I dont know :O lol

[SCE2AUX]

Watching this, I'm thinking; "Lisa Nowak, now where have I heard that name before, I had a friend named Heike with that surname, but......ohhhhhhh."

[The7legacy]

I really get goose bumps when I see this.

[Skullz1495]

@The7legacy What the fuck?

[Lauderish]

And we have a go for auto sequense start SKART.

[Wielder432]

@Lauderish LOL

[drey4lyfee]

USA for the win

[NiamOfAsuras]

@drey4lyfee All the countries that produced the components and needed materials for that shuttle ftw.. xD

[jaguar870]

thats fuckin mental

[Aaronchi123]

wow, so so powerful. Really amazes me that humans have created such a intense power. engines are so strong that the jet is translucent

[kiwias88]

Thats bloody awsome you americans should have alot of pride with this

[RainbowManification]

Sad that it is going to be cancled, although I heard that a 5 year continuance was allowed. Why do we have to spend all our tax money on weapons of war, when we can use it to do awsome things like explore space, go back to the moon, explore the final frontier.

[nateamerica]

in your face north korea you suck!

[abedkh]

beautiful

[seychelles29]

wow that's so cool.. some serious speed!!

[SickM3nace]

HADOKEN!! 0:46

[PeoplesWar]

This was an Independence Day to remember!

[Xxwilly23xX]

When the rocket separates from the orange thingy, where does the orange thingy land. Does some lucky family have it fall on their house?

P.S. I would hate to be under the spaceship at 0:46

[AtomicBomb79]

@Xxwilly23xX they usually do it near the ocean so it doesn't hit any thing

[RainbowManification]

@Xxwilly23xX It usually lands near the coast of africa, or in the Indian ocean. And the booster rockets land in the indian ocean also. One time it didn't go off as plan and they had a late seperation, and the booster rockets landed in a farm field.

[gicatsam]

Just an excellent example of human ingenuity right there. Really is pure awesomeness :)

[Twistedpung1]

Thats just awesome i still can't get it how they build this

[BVargas78]

Do you think it will ever be possible to fly to space without rockets? Or maybe a built in rocket, in a special space plane that can fly to the edge of space using jets, and then a shunt of the rockets when at the edge of space?

[hellagunner1]

@BVargas78 its somewhat possible :O only if your filthy rich

[artman40]

How much horsepower is that?

[poke1103]

@artman40 That thing using way more horsepower than your car... it's going at like 1000 mph and anyways think about it one horsepower is the power of one horse so how much do you think of horses will it take to go 1000 mph?

[armani9992]

Amazing!!

[xMyReflection]

I so want to do that! *envies people aboard*

[brilliantlights]

What an awesome video! Thanks for uploading it. I have created a techno track dedicated to Space Flights, check out my channel - brilliantlights, and listen to:

Space Flight Plan [Yamaha DJX2 - Techno]

[Lunarlaserranging]

the launch is always the most dagerous part

[trufa12]

And the landing...

[Lunarlaserranging]

Not really.  What makes the launch the most dangerous is you are sitting above all that burning rocket fuel boosters. The landing you are just a glider. YOu probally mean the re-entry in the earths atmosphere. the landing itself isnt really dangerous.

[trufa12]

Yeah I know but.. 1000+ celsius in the Thermosphere and an useless component and Game over..

[bopkick5]

could we please see a take off from inside the cockpit?

[drifter847]

to go to mars, they should build a moon base, then lunch off to mars. they should also calculate the time when mars is closest to the earth.

[Max11101]

wateronthesmoke: You are right!!!

The Germans had built rockets first!

[SuperYoshiGalaxy1]

Also, it's not quite ready for Mars, but NASA hopes to get people on Mars by 2027. Optimistic?

[mechtitto3]

Take off from the earth its too dangerous, build a moon base at the first.

[SuperYoshiGalaxy1]

You have to admit, he's right. USA may have beaten USSR in the space race, but both sides were largely using german scientists.

Awesome shuttle launch, btw. What a shame that it's slow by galactic standards.

[reallyniceshoes]

look at the power in that thing :O!

[IMSODELETED]

When it takes off the smoke looks sick as

[0111lol]

i think we should send one of these vessels to mars be good for exploration

[death18012]

impossible at the moment.

we can get the shuttle their, but there is not enough fuel to get their and BACK to earth. plus, the time spent up in space alone would be rediculous. it's 180 days just to get there, then 180 to get back. add exploration to that and its one long ass trip. so like i say, impossible with our technologies.

[mach25man]

Shuttle cant even get there.  Not enough velocity...

[barthoedemaker]

They should make an airplane which goes straight up, and down. Could do the flight in 1 hour, where normally 22 hours flight ore more.... Problem is, jet engine can't give enough to escape gravity. So they should build a rocket engine, wichs is realiable and refillable, like jet fuel, kerosine.

[increddavisstuntman]

thats one sweet ride..

[The7legacy]

It's Just Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!

[55whit]

never fails to amaze me,its fantastic

[619badazz13]

@55whit its fake 

[StephanSteijger]

@619badazz13 u r

[xXcynicalMINDXx]

Hooray! The Final Frontier! Now just watch as humanity uses it's ingenuity and intelligence to colonize the cosmos!

[melon2305]

thats incredible! thanks for sharing

[Chocosizzles]

Ha! And humans started with sticks and stones and look what we've got!

[john6757]

it's "spelled" 'parachute,' dumbass

[hedegaard8]

Haha! Good one! That was excellent when "robertfenlon" tried to incorrectly correct "prolarism" and you successfully corrected the arrogant "robertfenlon" Haha!

[robertfenlon]

it's spelt parachute dumb ass

[ThjeshtLife]

humans have got balls

[Number12interdan]

monkeys also do

(the ones who built and piloted the first space ships decades ago)

[prolarism]

Just wondering, when the rocket comes off the spaceship, where does it go??? Does it have a parashoot? Will it land on land dangerously?

[AshaDelane]

the rocket comes off in space

[SLYSIXR]

they have parashoots and fall in the water

[sledger25]

the solid rocket boosters have parachutes that deploy and the boosters fall into the ocean, the external tank burns up and falls into the ocean, which is not recovered...

[SkyboxMonster]

what if the external tank hit something?

Megahurtz!!!

[ThjeshtLife]

they'll fall in your toilet while you're inside

[antiego1]

the external tanks and rocket boosters all have parachutes, which are deployed when they get to a certain height after failling off the shuttle. they are intended to fall into the ocean, where they are collected and used again. of course, the trajectory is all planned.

[DEFORCER]

the external tank is not reused, it is released and it burns up in the atmosphere.

[WatchingViking]

One BIG ASS ROCKET!

[sparkplug92]

wow trully amazzzzing!!!!!

[jerkbeefy20]

yeah but its amazing to watch

[tickdog3]

yeah lets waste the tax payers money by bailing out all of the Incompetent companies out there!

[cainam979]

@buildingtherebabylon: if you knew which amounts of taxpayers money is wasted for helping crippled banks :D

[mongrellius]

buildingtherebabylon, it ain't your or my tax dollars going into it.

[myotherutube]

Yeah I'm not sure why we are throwing away money for the space program at this current time...I love it and think its neat but its not the time...heck id like a bigger house but right now is not the time for me to a bigger house...

[Avenaur]

I don't think they gave money for these or any missions within 2 years in this administration, or the last one.

This has been planned for years, so you can't really take it away like that.

[CowboyDiplomacy]

lol, definatley not gasoline, lol.

[MasterRaam]

Damn this is so impressive. Looking forward what the future of spcaediscovery will bring.

Am really proud to be a human when i see this(ignore the other side).

[2042539]

i cant watch this video

this video was good Qv

[im99mining]

LOL! space shuttle ice cream sandwitch... hmm interesting lol i can tell why it was dry :S

may have been a little bit melted.

[ForeverCharmedX]

i tried a space shuttle ice cream sandwhich once, it was really dry. its like chalk dust

[mach25man]

They really dont fly that crap. They eat what you eat here on earth.

[truepokefan]

where would u get the camera work?

[im99mining]

FORGET THE FIREWORKS!!! LOL

[im99mining]

lol. by the time it clears the tower, it's 120mph...(3 seconds after liftoff). and the shuttle has to go 7miles a second or it's not going into orbit.. 7miles a second is 25,000MPH so yeah this thing is fast.

[vicbub71]

Space shuttles go about 17,500 mph.

The fastest manned vehicles were the Apollo capsules 24,790 mph. The fastest man made object was the Helios 2 spacecraft sent around the sun which screamed at 153,800 mph!

[CowboyDiplomacy]

It has to go at least 25,000 MPH because that is its terminal velocity to get it out of the atmosphere.

[vicbub71]

I think you mean "escape velocity" and not "terminal velocity". And yes the escape velocity to needed to escape earths gravity is 25,000, but the shuttle doesn't escape earth gravity which is why it orbits the earth.(at 17,500 mph) The Apollo moon missions had to escape the earths gravity which is why they went much faster (25,000 mph) If the shuttle went 25,000 mph it would burn up on re-entry. The heat shields on the shuttle can only handle re-entry to about 20,000 mph.

[CowboyDiplomacy]

sry, I'm not that space savy, I just started studying it.

[dakin8888]

haha terminal velocity, wrong words, its more like it has to go 40,000kmh roughy 25000mph at a minimum to maintain lift

[dakin8888]

and to reack escape velocity as the fellow below said

[raykeens]

750MPH holy hell and I thought 220MPH was fast

[clubpenguinadmin]

ok space shuttlle launches are on tv EVEN FREE SEEING IT ONLY ON NEWS CHANNELS NOT FOX CBS OR THE OTHER ONES I THINKS IT NC ITS 26 27 36 37 35 I TIHNK

[bigrigjoel]

I would love to see a shuttle lunch.......It would be awesome.

[Purlukio]

I was at the Kennedy Space Center 2 days before the Atlantis Takeoff.

[sandplasma]

There are no words to describe just how amazing this is.

[santaclaus1986]

i want to go see one of those. i also loved watching the engines start. from a red into a clear and than boom

[sgbr101]

that would hurt is a bird flew into that -.-

[andrewww1987]

theere is a video of that.

search

space shuttle vs. birdie

or something like that.

poor bird:[

[MichaelCrawfordsFan]

awesome ness

[erzhik14]

amazing.

[betofernandez831]

2600 mph...hella fast

[georgesturdy]

i hear that these shuttles reach up to 18,500 mph awesome video

[raymondrayban]

fucking awesome,

[wepayforsex]

Great !

[Anarchemitis]

Mmmmm! Solid fuel!

[snauzy]

its kind of scary because you never know if its gona make it

[P0P357UR3]

I thought this was gonna be the one that blew up 72 secs after take off.

[tianhua1993]

oh you mean space shuttle challenger?

[P0P357UR3]

Yeah; they all seem the same design in my inexperienced eye.

[alstraka]

they are the same design no redesign till 2012 i think

[P0P357UR3]

Ah I see.

[nickabob234]

that was awsome

[fenway1342]

cool

[SteppinKrazee]

one of my friends from highschool was on this flight

[dynamic717]

Shut the fuck up.

[rubyfirelover]

disgustin.....ashole *$&%#$^%*)#%*#

[10kzebra]

Yay! Lisa Nowak was on this flight!

[Poni0306isshit]

will you stop putting those camazondating it is so annoying

[maryamqt]

yah this is sooo cooL!!!

[yousucknowgoaway]

oh crap the oxgen tank fell off!

[frankie8toes]

didn't discovery crash?

[jonaa3]

Very, very cool  yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MartinDawson]

ANYTHING Shuttle is brillent!

...and yes its lift-off!

Regards

(Rememeber Astronaut Nowak how tried to murder her lovers other girl friend? Shes on this flight...)

[erik88er]

that was tence!

[Beatlemaniak]

guau

[earcandy81]

just a little thing: Take off is for airplanes, lift off is for the shuttle and all other space-bound craft...

[gutahir]

that is cool
