Space Shuttle flight over UK

[westkilbride1976]

Pissing down in scotland as usual

[FienStudios]

@westkilbride1976 LOL, I've been to Scotland and trust me Ireland is worst.

[dtr748]

Fantastic. I didn't know this exsisted. Nor that the shuttle got up this far.. I can see my pub too. I was looking for something like this. Ireland is under cloud as usual. Still it is sunny most other places. We do exsist. Greenland is there too. That's where our weather comes from. Good luck everybody, everyone on "the Good Earth". (Apollo 8 Christmas eve 1968).

[truthfilter]

i can see the pub from here

[dtr748]

@truthfilter Yeah !!!!!!!!!!

[BlackWidowZ93]

Hey i can see my house!

[pembo3000]

WOW

[lilgirllost29]

That is class

[106yearsinarow]

typical rainy cloudy scotland

[ashbytimuk]

I can see my house from up here :-)

[SuzLa1]

Cornwall looks more out there than it looks on the map.

[AdamWoodhams]

I love it - all us Brits are talking about the weather.

[fenbogle]

ITS VERY RARE 4 the SHutle to do a uk flyover ,OVER,

[atikur1995]

too big to be uk

[bogieman987]

lol This makes the UK look so big from when you look at it on a map lol

[Red240104]

The curvature of the earth looks small which might be from the camera lens. Living Earth HD on iPhone is amazing and all so starwalk is a must get too !!

[rtenewsonone]

Hello! The island West of the UK is Ireland. You forgetting that?

[AdamAntiVlog]

@rtenewsonone actually, part of that island is in the UK

[jonbob1]

@rtenewsonone....U know its the UK thats matters :)

[eggfooyoung24]

Good job flipping the footage as it would look wrong the right way up. Nice.

[tutankhatenll]

Hmmm...raining in Scotland , just for a change:( - That could be any day of any season of the year :D

[amartinjoe]

amazing...just amazing.

[serjito87]

LOL then you would love living in Spain :D

[kirza94]

Look at Scotland ,, cloud's ,, look at Cornwall & Devon sunny :D , i love living in the SW :D

[adamski895RS]

Look MUMMY im on youtube!

[sebastiansz]

@philby37 it was on NASA TV live and you recorded it or in some kind of different way you connected with the downlink and recorded it? too bad it's not HD :(

cheers for reply

[jackamatyus]

To those saying it is fake...a person trying to pass off an authentic fake video of this quality would be unlikely to be stupid enough to put in an upside-down fake logo...

[stretch260579]

i can see my house

[HailToTheSkunk]

can u imagine world war 2 going on down there.

[SuzLa1]

Devon and Cornwall look like they jut out more from the rest of the country, than how it looks on a map.

[SabretoothSnowMan]

Why would this be a fake?

[charlieiscool1000]

wow this is really cool and rare i wonder how often the space shuttle has flown over northan europe and the UK looks really good

[SuzLa1]

Hardly a day goes by when I don't see clouds so it looks a little clear.

[SuzLa1]

No clouds?

[sonutulsiani]

Dude this is so beautiful

[TheFighterpilot93]

typical british weather lol england looks weird from space to lol

[TheL4777]

It is some dummies on this planet that is real.Some of you that think this is fake are the same ones that believe we are the only Intelligent life.There are So Many Galaxys Thousands The Universe is Neverending you'll will see 2010 is the Year Aliens will reveal themselves

[zeesham13]

LOl, yeah right, we are already in 2010

[paulbarrett1984]

You lot are dumbasses, if you think this video is fake...

The NASA logo is interveted for viewing... more people recongise the UK in this position, thats why they flipped it...

It's real!

[paulbarrett1984]

Typical.... probably one of the nicest days in the UK, and there's a big thick cloud over where I live.... :-(

(King's Lynn, Norfolk)

[paulsalvage]

My god when did the uk get so big

We are such a big nation .....:)

[Grantwebb13]

I can see my house! :)

[llokkee]

A good way to gage just how fast the ship is going is to put the cursor on the screen and imgine ur in a car or plane travelling across or over the land...pretty damn fast!

[GoranMPG]

CGI

[DelaWhere09]

defintly fake....the nasa symbol is upside down frow crying out loud

[philby37]

I captured this video from the NASA stream from the Shuttle payload bay, the camera was looking up at the Earth, because this made viewing less enjoyable I flipped the video to show a more natural view. Obviously the NASA symbol was also flipped. As for all the people on here saying 'fake', I think their brains are possibly fake if they think that a video like this could be made up in some way....!

[78rah78]

This is real, you could even ask NASA if they flip the video to make viewing more enjoyable, or else you wouldn't kno what your looking at.

[killratoss]

@philby37 ya u photoshopeed this vid! haha what a bunch of imbeciles.

[njirem]

@philby37 dont even comment on those poor souls who also think 911 was a inside job and the moon landing was staged and 2pac and Elvis are presidents of illuminati xd

[bmofano]

@njirem only one of them that you stated was true ;) just saying,....dont mix up truth with every other conspiracy theory youve ever heard......you poor soul.....

[starbabe58]

this is not a fake it is real

[PindzMedia]

ROFLMAO!!! this is fucking CGI FAKE !!

[edj66]

Fool

[ViperRob42]

video is inverted so it may not look like the Earth as we see it lol

[enfacedeglace]

This is a fake. Look at the shape of the horizon. Also, look at the shape of the countries and the ladscape is too big for that height. It's a fake I tell you!

[TonyBananas101]

yes, comparing the landmass with the horizon makes Britain the size of Australia and France the size of Russia. East Anglia isn't the correct shape, the Wash and the Thames Estuary are missing. Clearly fake.

[mythicalireland]

You forgot to mention Ireland in your info. The Republic of Ireland is the first country seen in this video!!! COME ON IRELAND.

[NumbMuzik]

woooooooooo yeah :D

[djleito]

COME ON BRITANNIA

[vincent7520]

rule britannia

[FrizzleFry117]

I missed spring in England last year...Sigh...

I was in the bathroom.

[mikemcgibney]

Really, Mr Flanders?

[FrizzleFry117]

Damn diddly straight!

[mikemcgibney]

[FrizzleFry117]

Hm. I never knew Flanders(grumble Flanders grumble) said that.

[paddylav]

[jimijamesmorris]

[DJScread]

You're saying that in the 20 year gap this could have been filmed in you can't remember a single clear day?

[cienwcieniachcieni]

ASAN - it is new top secret eskimo aerospace agency.

[britrb32]

Have fun all,

Brian :)

[cookieda1]

looks like london is gna b a nice day lool

[Snoopo]

Computer fake. Wales is far to big and northern England is too thin. Trust me, Ive been on the ISS and seen it myself.

[christhekiwi12]

your wrong

[Snoopo]

I doubt it. Im an astronaut.

[christhekiwi12]

I very much doubt an astronaut has the time to watch 13,011 videos on youtube.

[Snoopo]

You`ll be surprised how much free time we get in between missions.

[christhekiwi12]

Personally I can do as many missions as I want as I dont have my mommy telling me to turn my playstation off. When you are older, you can do as many "missions" as you like.

[Snoopo]

No idea what your banging on about `mummys and playstations` sir, but Godspeed.

My next mission is in May, I`ll upload a vid for you and my fellow astrological youtubers..

[christhekiwi12]

haha yeah you do that man. sad

[philipr07]

hahaha snoopo got owned

[keiich1e]

if you are an astronaut then can you get me guest passes to watch a launch? when does atlantis next lift off? how big the shuttle? can you steal atlantis for me as its my faviourite shuttle

[conservativeSoldier1]

lol. move out of your moms basement and get a job loser

[Snoopo]

lol, Dont swallow the hook....loser

[cutterschoicenotmine]

looks like a nice day.

[OhHaHaThatsCool]

Just a question, how does the shuttle move so fast over the earth like that?

[romolow67]

Because it has a warp drive installed

[dumbtreeclimber]

ObHaHaThatsCool: It moves so fast because it has to move that fast to orbit the Earth. It is traveling at roughly 17,500 mph. Objects in orbit are actually in free fall, but are traveling fast enough horizontally that they never hit the ground. You know that when something is thrown sideways (like a baseball), it curves towards the ground. And you know that the Earth is curved. Imagine tossing a baseball so hard that it's curved path followed the curve of the Earth. That is an orbit.

[dumbtreeclimber]

ObHaHaThatsCool: Also, they can travel 17,500 mph easily because there is almost no atmosphere to slow them down at 150+ miles above Earth. They just launch to that speed, and turn the engines (rockets) off. Since trace amounts of atmospheric drag slow them down, they must fire their rockets every few days, weeks, or months-depending on their orbital altitude.

[christhekiwi12]

the earth spins very fast dude.

[calosity]

Hahah! Although your right, it does spin pretty fast. That is not why the shuttle travels so fast.

[zipper2k8]

He never said it was -_-

[calosity]

.... I guess he didn't.

Thank God you were here to clarify that for me. I would have spent the rest of my life thinking that yes, he indeed said it was.

Man, that could have been rough. I don't know what I would have done without you.

[ranny528]

why does wales look like a pigs head when it's sheep that they are really after.

[trinidad1992]

looks like google earth..^^..

[DFORCE1969]

An Almost cloudless sky;Makes a bloody change.

[WhoDoYouWant]

St. George's Day,

Now that you've declared how proud you are to be an Englishman, you might start trying to learn the English language so that we all can work out what the hell you're saying.

[StGeorgesDay1]

Just think,that tiny island are the most successful country the world has ever seen.Out of every nation of earth ,if it wans't for UK and England in particular the world would most probably be a very diffrent place indeed.

I am biased of course,so i get this from USA journalists and the most extensive study done by the Japanese,they come to the above conclusion.

THNK GOD I WAS BORN AN ENGLISHMEN.

[Rich3982]

Can you see me waving??????

[eatmahcherry]

hilariouss

and yes i can

[BLITZ4209mmKuSHSmoKe]

wow so tiny compared to it's sister country, the United States of America, soon to be the North American Union.

[ilovetool420]

r they actually serious with the north american union

[ranny528]

its tiny because if we were any bigger we would have u.s "friendly fire" on our homeland.

[PathoftheStrong]

dont you mean Big Brother country?

[neiluk2006]

Fantastic video our great island looks great from Space.

[Brockway84]

The UK looks massive in relation to the curvature of the earth. Seems to be completly out of proportion to how we are used to seeing everything on a globe.

Amazing.

[andrewbarrett42]

Yes I,ve noticed that,the UK looks small on a globe where it looks big here.

[uk1983]

there's my house!

[Xxfancythat79xX]

that is absolutely amazing!!!

[Ellisf1]

Why is the NASA logo upside down?

[philby37]

When I recorded the streaming video from the NASA site, the video was from the Shuttle payload bay camera, I reversed it vertically so that it was easier to make out the UK.

[zigeunerjack]

Oh damn!

Who hasn't washed his car? It's too dirty, I mean the white Citroen down in the parking lot.

[CADAVERHUSK]

why is east anglia smaller than on a map???

[neiluk2006]

nice !

[air1989]

[chriroe]

I can see you haven't cleaned the windows of your house.

[ohcrapusuck]

[terrasidius]
