Blast into Space, Spectacular Fall to Earth

[BCAD01]

What's the name of that music?

[putittogether]

Thank god NASA is out of the space transport business. They really really sucked at it. Now private companies are doing it and cheaper, faster, and with better technology.

Example of just how bad they were, the Space Shuttle was designed in the 60's, built in the 70's and flew for 3 decades. Same technology! And the cost was CRAZY high per pound into orbit.

[lvoigtlander]

The scene of the rocket floating in the water made me realized how beautiful, perfect and divine is our ecosystem.

[nashkita77]

@lvoigtlander not perfect.

[SBernardoni1991]

NASA never ceases to amaze me!

[lexichronicle2]

nooooooo! that music has to go! especially since this has the booster return part of the video

[Ryio5]

Insane re-entry with the solid-fuel rocket boosters.

[slitor]

The last scene with parachute and all floating in the ocean was beautiful.

[navajo1806]

amazing

[gunny0488]

Thousands of years ago we were amazed at the discovery of fire...and now we are flying rockets to other planets. Mankind is truly amazing.

[rocketpunchgo1]

THAT. WAS. EPIC.

[OfficialRilo]

Now this is something i need to watch high.

[champinsoccer9]

cya bitches

[CAGEI2AGE]

Wow that was a great Vid..

[Keilink]

If you noticed, it's a fake giant Jellyfish at the end...

Stunning.

[TheMadNorsky]

@Keilink thats the parachute used to float the used boosters back to earth, not a jellyfish

[Keilink]

@TheMadNorsky I was just kidding :), the scene is really impressive anyway.

[TheMadNorsky]

@Keilink then the mistake is mine. So hard to tell with the written word when someone is being facetious or sarcastic. My mistake.

[Keilink]

@TheMadNorsky No worries :D

[SunDevilUTESFAN767]

:11 ASTA LA VISTA MOTHERFUKCERS!

[Altair1371]

No matter how many times I watch it, a shuttle launch is just so beautiful!

[Aristotelis124]

i want to go to the space. i guess i live a big adventure

and i want to dont see again those motherfuckers again

[ChelsaeH]

That's neat:)

[MrBxelB]

that was fast :D

[mellonwood]

i think i shit my self

[DrinkElectrolytes]

What if it hit you in the face? Would it be able to crack the glass? Cuz, I dunt wanna play if that can happen, seems dangerous.

[shekko4444]

@cataha NASA retrieves the rocket boosters from the ocean for refurbishment and reuse, they are never just left in the ocean. Green Peace have no say in this situation.

[subzerowarrior1]

How the heck did the camera survive the burn up when re-entering the earth's atmosphere? Or was it not at a high enough altitude to generate that level of heat? Either way, that's one robust camera.

[WildRover1964]

@subzerowarrior1 - The boosters' job is to take it to a high altitude. The shuttle doesn't really start accelerating properly till after it drops the boosters. It then accelerates using its main engines and the fuel in the external tank. That's why the boosters can be reused but not the tank because by the time the tank drops off it's travelling at orbital speed.

[amgen52]

@subzerowarrior1 The boosters dont re-enter the atmosphere. They never go out of it. They go to about 150,000ft and fall back. Out of the atmosphere is about 400,000. So there is no burning of any kind.

[Mr007eds]

n they say smoking is bad 4 the environment :3 *angry*

[HouseCiliviel]

awesome



[superotherguy1]

So bright!!!

[cataha]

where are all of the green(peace) people ??? pollution, disposal of trash in an ocean etc....????

[amgen52]

@cataha Disposal of what trash in the ocean ?

[staritskii]

Next generation spaceship /watch?v=pbj6fG3xrJA

[bored1980]

By far the best video I've seen today. Youtube, you have redeemed yourself.

[rajupanchal2]

sau

[ujeshpaul]

really hope theres no sailors out there in the open ocean

[SuperUntitledUser]

I can feel what the astronaut feels

[suquip]

was to study engineering combustion space

[AlbanianGuyPTP1]

What if they fall on someone's backyard?

[amgen52]

@AlbanianGuyPTP1 Shuttle launches over the ocean.

[MrGlennatat]

I went up in one of these last week to see my gran. It was great

[freeharddrive]

NASA=POWER=Awesome.

[mogaard07]

Man, I'd really like to go to space to get away from all the idiots that post stupid, ignorant, and closed-minded comments on YouTube. That'd be sweeeeeet.

[pjautuvas]

@mogaard07 Or you could just stop reading the comments?

[silkessence19]

@mogaard07 lol

[OfTehMedia]

@mogaard07 Or cancel your ISP.

[daishippy]

@mogaard07 Virgin Galactic is booking, bro. Would you like a sub-orbital or full orbital space flight? :)

[stefanthealmighty]

@mogaard07 You wouldn't think idiots ventured into videos of space shuttles, but apparently they do. Although some are educated folks, they sure do a bang-up job, plumeting their respect to the ground.

[venku1222]

@mogaard07 but theres internet in space now.

[TITANSMRS]

@mogaard07 hahaha LOL I couldn't agree more hunni

[hamidmanowar]

FAKEEEEEEEEEEE



[kokocipher]

Star Trek should have used this type of camera work for the ship launch sequence.

[kokocipher]

wow, this is so epic :O

[gmosell]

well in the beginning looks real, but when it reach space looks like fake trash.

[shield543]

@gmosell Yes its all fake, all a conspiracy....... this is what you think? Idiot. Next time you use a GPS or turn on your TV and it works because satellites are orbiting around the Earth in outerspace. Try disprove that hmm?

[carlochuckt]

If you look real close on the way down...i saw an image of elvis!

[mouneeb745]

imagine if u have to drop all the down to the ocean that high

[jkleli]

[EDDlEMEDUZA]

space? space! IM IN SPAAAAAAAAAAACE!

[RyeBai]

They knew where to put them cameras perfectly. I bet the camera crew said -

"it's not like it's rocket science"

[salamattamalas]

just played this while i was listening to ,'silver machine',by hawkwind.....very good

[Ilgulliverblue]

wooow

;)

[Novaneolith75]

Damn you you damn dirty apes!!! 

[morpher44]

really amazing video. Like!

[4tt1]

Going into the space looks and seems like swimming : D

[LordKaisen]

U.S powaa

[1kyleabc]

all the birdies got scared away =p

[TheNipommu]

can somebody tell me, woudn't the silos burn and disintegrate?

[MrRi3m4nn]

@TheNipommu I don't think they travel fast enough for that, probably because they don't leave the atmosphere, so they don't go over terminal velocity. That's just my guess though.

[zXNooblyXz]

space SPACE SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACCCCCCEEEEEE­E

[Hypsan]

Just about every video I visit these days, there is someone going off the deep-end and wowing us with their huge 20 word vocabulary! It's a modern-day phenomenon that began with Gen X -- the final Gen whose copy quality (think in terms of copying a video over & over & over, with each copy worse than the last) was at least watchable without having to resort to digital enhancement. Now we come to Gen Y - WHY?!? - ZERO watchability - the "OCCUPY" this & that crowd that hasn't got a single clue!!

[Slichkit]

Made meh dizzy

[tadentt]

mute this video and play this..

watch?v=CySNhHVAokQ

[SittingMooseShaman]

...not any more. Obama: "The Backward Prez". Leader of the, "Nation of Mac Job; The Skill-LESS!" ...idiots.

[elmadrid91]

I WISH IN THE FUTURE WE HAVE A CHANCE TO GO TO SPACE

WHO AGREES?

[funnymanseven]

@elmadrid91 We do have a chance.. you can go online and reserve tickets on one of the flights into space... over billion dollars i'd gusse... one of the U.S. airlines also already have a prototype jet that will go into space orbit and come back down for epic flights

[elmadrid91]

@funnymanseven Damm! im not going to pay billions of dollars I rather spend that money in earth ooh i forgot I'm not rich hahahaha!

[nethangh4]

@EmceeSpawn oh fuck you you pussy i dont agree with anything you say

[iProDevinsha]

@EmceeSpawn why dont you shut d fuck up

[FastFiveForever]

@iProDevinsha Kiss my ass kid.

[iProDevinsha]

@FastFiveForever okay :D

[sideburnstijger]

@EmceeSpawn Welcome to Earth.

[jj1x0]

@EmceeSpawn finally, someone says that!

[JamesD567]

@EmceeSpawn How about you shut up

[ninjafapper]

When The Space Shuttle Ditched The SRB's It Was LIKE SEE YA SUCKERS THEN FLYING AWAY

[Darko2625]

@Emmydream2 Shut down your computer,TV or anything else. Science made it. -_-

[zombieX111222333]

2:33 was an amazing shot

[artdizayne1]

[yovillegirl4life]

all that circle got me feeling dizzy

[Dtac25]

Gotta love Science, this is amazing. I'm in college for a health profession, but I love Astronomy and Rocket Science. Such an awesome and inspiring sight. It's really moving to see man travel to space. Makes me feel proud.

[silentbl00d]

u know the one thing i learn that just trips the fuck outta me is?

the fact where in space if you throw something in stay the same speed forever until it hits something, also in space no matter how fast u go u feel just as if u were standing still

like if u were in a car on earth with no top or windows going 80 miles an hour u would feel gravity pull and air pressure but if u were in space going 30,000,000 mph it would feel the same as standing still, not even a flick of the hair. crazy right?

[mogaard07]

@silentbl00d Crazy indeed, my good friend. Crazy indeed. I wish I could experience it.

[ukchris64]

Just makes me wonder where those booster rockets land once used?

[GoldenShaolinNutz]

lol had to take a prod at it. i was j/k. ty for the up. seriously, this was truly amazing.

[GoldenShaolinNutz]

Amazing!!! I wonder if the people who Disregard this blast off as common occurrences and not understand its significance for humanity. the magnitude of humanity over coming generations of prejudice, avarice, and greed among other things to create something of this scale that works, and is for the benefit of everyone from the few compared to the population of the world. IMAGINE what we all could accomplish together. We could surround the earth with giant phaluses. NO alien would dare attack.=)

[VlaXXie]

Too bad it was ruined by an awful soundtrack.

[Stounage]

at 1:11 can some1 tell how much the camera is zoomed in ??

[niravfest]

@SpaceRip The raw audio is so much more interesting. No need for 'hollywood' sound soundtrack to these videos. I think that is a detriment to them.

[KenderikGamer]

>  < Get it?

[oranakomaburanako]

00:09 OH!!!? !what the?? where is the remote control? :) my sound system logitech z5500.:D

[deadm4u]

i always wanted to know what happen to this rocket after they released into the space, thank you, nice video

[Sisyanor]

What's the music's name????

[AlgisKemezys]

wow super..

[kentucky9000]

The Shuttle launches are over now...! I wonder what will take its place ? 

[CarlitosWayz12]

3:25... what was the neeed to edit??

[MellonVegan]

@CarlitosWayz12 Let us just assume that those rockets reached space (which according to the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale would begin at 100km altitude) and weren´t dropped before that (although that wouldn´t make a difference to the explanation) and since I don´t know about their weight to size ratio let´s just assume that they have the maximum falling speed of a human being in a horizontal position (~200 km per hour). In that case the video would have to be 30 minutes longer.

[aimhigh59]

@MellonVegan Booster rockets get to a height of 150,000 ft. and splash down before the orbiter reaches space in 8.5 minutes.

[CarlitosWayz12]

@MellonVegan ohh ok thanks for clearing that up, i thought it would of been fake or something.

[MellonVegan]

@CarlitosWayz12 You´re welcome. Some moments really look fake but I guess a reason for this could be that I´ve never seen anything like it before.

[Eyedias]

they better get these rockets -.-

[bloodyanarchyonline]

Where are the weinies and marshmallows when ya need one....

[mylilhannah]

@bloodyanarchyonline i think the marshmellow would incinerate in half a second. lol

[bloodyanarchyonline]

@mylilhannah I see the marshmellow, I feel the marshmellow, I have the marshmellow..........I saw the marshmellow....i felt the marshmellow.....i had the marshmellow =( is a decent snack so hard to get around this damn place....

[mylilhannah]

@bloodyanarchyonline LMFAO. i love you.

[bloodyanarchyonline]

@mylilhannah =)

[Spedster777]

I think the Shuttle is such a beautiful creation. Makes me cry to hear NASA isn't using it anymore.

[charlieking100]

@Spedster777 Don't worry, Space Shuttle's a truck. Its just going down the road where the Horse cart has gone. Soon, we'll be going to the stars!! There are bigger things for us to achieve! :)

[charlieking100]

People, I am telling you, before you say this is fake, Imagine how important it is to our country, how many great minds came up with ideas, how many great people took decisions, how many engineers came up with workarounds, innovative methods to make this happen, how many people labored to build this, how much testing, design and testing again.... I'm an engineer, and I know its real!! Dont believe it, then GTFO here!!

[swlovesvegans]

i feel dizzy

[DJseanOP]

cooool

[Timmytimmy123123]

Fact: Space core is going to space!

Fact: The change of survival is 87.50%

1 minute later...

Grab me, grab me, grab meeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

[orb2005]

so beautiful

[Grathom15]

This is clearly faked

[tomas123106]

@Grathom15 fuck you this shit is the real deal

[keronplug14]

@Grathom15 FAKE?

Lol, you must live in North Korea, don't you? Where people there doesn't have international showcase at all. And internet. pfft, such a caveman.

[MsBoobyboobybooby]

[BattleButlerJeeves]

NOBODY'S GOING TO SPACE MATE

*NASA shut down*

:'(

[riversidefb48]

@sk8erkidmab8 In science, an idea is recognized solely as a theory until proven factual through logical reasoning and proof though... just sayin. not to mention not too many people i know worship the theory of evolution, they simply look at it as a possibility, just throwing that out there.

[xinecallaw]

@03:14 & @03:25 what is that object that lights up right next to the sun. I thought it was transit of Venus or Mercury, but when I found pictures of the transits of those two planets when viewed from Earth Orbit, neither are large enough. Then I thought it was transit of the moon but those pictures show the moon is larger than that when viewed from Earths Orbit. Is it Mars or other outer planet? I assumed they would not be that large, nor reflect that much light?

[alejandria1987]

espectacular.

[kolektiv7]

why do people even take the time to press the dislike button? like they're gonna have some sort of impact on the posting of this video.

[1BustedMyth]

No birds were harmed in the making of this film, but several fish were killed and one snorkler

[guitdude09]

great now im dizzzy and feel sick :(

[capio78]

How accurate are there projections for the safe landing of the boosters? how do they stop them hitting ships?

[aimhigh59]

@capio78 There is a clear zone put into effect the day of launch. If ships are in the zone the launch is scubbed.

[capio78]

@aimhigh59 very interesting thank you, any idea how big those areas are? I guess they know within reason where it will land.

[aimhigh59]

@capio78 A couple hundred miles out. Its kind of like a triangle with the point at the Cape.

[gavanjezusafkees]

@capio78 i think they just warn the ships for wich course they cannot take while launch and landing. at the other hand oceans are big enough to find a safe zone no ?

[gekko14]

I don't hate you. I feel sorry for you. You're somewhat pathetic in trying to build a case for your point of view. I don't hate but it 's people like you, so arrogant in your own small mind that only you have all the answers. Speak for yourself. I for one think you you need lots of attention thus you make statements to get replies in order to fill your empty life.

[Textrybal]

At 4:42 you can picture a Finding Nemo seagull poking its head saying ''mine!'' :) Awesome stuff!

[717021]

Space travel and lunar landing are a HOAX.. Don't believe it!

[aSandriusAS]

@717021 Lol, you are wasting your time kid, no one is going to follow you and change their minds. Ech, children

[VeryFatTurtle]

suck my dodo!

[nuttenprella]

what happened to the astronaut who did this video? did he came back to earth safely?

[rawdmon]

@nuttenprella You can't be serious.

[mikecawood]

@nuttenprella Camera attached to the solid rocket booster.

[mikecawood]

Respond to this video... Pity about the background music, it spoils it so I won't be saving a copy.

[willian32976]

you really have no sense of how fast the shuttle travels in this video. but you can really get a good sense of the speed if you go to: 2007: LAUNCH OF SPACE SHUTTLE SEEN FROM AIRCRAFT. WHAT?!?!?! 11,000 LBS PER SECOND?!?!?! it would be sooo cool if the boosters had passenger pods so you can ride to the edge of space and decend with them!!! 3:44 you can see its shadow about 2 inchs left of the #'s on top right corner.

[sidhuporwal949]

incredible video

[yankees3936]

This looked fake for a bit but then I really saw the realness of it



[notiunion]

Nee ehtow sae…

[prcacowboy82401]

That was neat!

[sosoasian]

@prcacowboy82401 Lenny Pepperbottom?

[losability]

Who/what is filming at 2:35?

And this psychedelic shit from then on..?

[roamingcroat]

@losability From 2:35, it's cameras on the solid rocket boosters showing their descent to the Atlantic Ocean. There are several of these cameras on each booster.

[tutoriales3minutos]

Q. What happend with the big orange tank?

[roamingcroat]

@tutoriales3minutos After separation, the external tank is uncontrolled and reenters the Earth's atmosphere about half an orbit after launch, falling into the Pacific Ocean. Because of the incredible heat, it is destroyed during its reentry and generally falls in multiple pieces. The only video of a tank reentering is from STS-29 (watch?v=sejfpoWlfz0).
