AMERICA BABIE,

[minghiabrobut]

2 UFO's can be seen in this video.

6:03 left side of the craft

9:42 Object ejects from the top right corner and changes direction indicating intelligent navigation.

@minghiabrobut

I see nothing at 6:03. But if you do, it's likely foam popping off. That is normal for all shuttle launches and is commonly seeing around that time of the ascent as the fuel levels for the tank are depleted and the tank expands.

What you're seeing at 9:42 is ice being ejected from the engine bells on Atlantis. The change in direction is caused by the reaction control system jets firing to move the orbiter away from the tank. This is also normal for shuttle launches.

[Felderos]

i got to see this in RL :D

[MegaOctavarium]

this is the third-last flight of the space shuttle program. the next flight will be the STS-133 and the last mission will be the STS-134. What is the next space program? Costellation? obama intends to delete this program and he wants to invest to send man to Mars within 2030. Costellation space program or will there be? (sorry but my english is not very good xD)

[trechan]

@MegaOctavarium your english is not good but your comment is correct (to my knowledge of course). I have heard that Obama has infact been thinking of creating a larger space shuttle much like the orbiter but can take more people. This has only been of rumors and if anyone has anymore information on what I am speaking of, please send me a pm.

[pshinspections]

Thanks for posting the whole liftoff through orbit. It pisses me off when people cut anywhere in between.

[noodleninjaa]

It's 2010 and NASA can't update their cameras to HD!? hahahahahaha

[sunshinexxlover]

i was there!

[tbrais]

@sunshinexxlover me too, couldn't get cause way tickets though :(

[mikedo6]

What are you people smoking???? I see a reflection off the camera housing and a piece of ice from the thrusters......Christ,don't they teach people how to think in school anymore???

[EvilxMerlin]

@mikedo6

Of course not. Its easier to claim conspiracy or something unusual is happening. You know like 9-11? Or the Moon Landing, look at what the kooks think about those incidents..

[ponoobersie]

Ok so I see some peps have put about a UFO @ 6:55 and Aboodankboot has said its a star, now if it was a star why does it move faster than the shuttle is turning over? Also it seems to come from behind the earth and move up on the camera shot? I know they are moving at a stupid speed but a star wouldnt move that fast in the camera shot? also if its a star where are all the other stars?? surely the camera wouldnt pick up one star?

[tbrais]

@ponoobersie it's a rocket booster seperation

[lovetorace]

yup I see ufo at 6:55 too.

[Stingerbillion]

@lovetorace What are you talking about? I saw jesus. LOL

[ksaloverksa]

nice

[sixanahaf]

7,700 mph 270 miles from Kennedy space center.

[anime891]

What are you guys talking about orbiting Mars? This space shuttle was meant to carry the Russian Mini-Research Module 1 to the International Space Station, which is in low orbit from the Earth.

[hitmancrue]

thatsright UFO at 6:55 in the upper left part of the screen next to the wing.

[aboodankaboot]

@hitmancrue & @fredbessa It's clearly a star.

[Keithohsc]

I had the honor to watch the launch with 7th grade science class as I was subbing for their science teacher at school in Ohio. The first time they ever saw launch and I remember the first launch a April 12, 1981 Sunday morning when I was in the 3rd grade

[Neilram2001]

@Keithohsc must ave been an experience... I am planning on going to one.. I am 27... God this is amazing!

[fredbessa]

UFO at 6:55

[elbigjim]

it was a great launch... history continues to be made.

[Moeman774746]

heh feel the G's of being in front of nearly 3 MILLION pounds of force!

[peejaa]

to bad obama is making this one of the last flights we are going to have  How Sad!

[Daywalkertwentyseven]

@peejaa Atlantis is 25 years old. It was never meant to be used as long as it has, it's surpassed it's life expectancy.

FYI: this was all determined long before Obama was ever sworn in.

[peejaa]

@Daywalkertwentyseven Nope it wasint! Obama stop it 5 mo in to his 1 and only term! look it up! i did!

[Trex1094]

@Daywalkertwentyseven Well Endeavour is far younger

[Daywalkertwentyseven]

@Trex1094 Endeavour's days are numbered as well

[nmoeller104]

@Daywalkertwentyseven That is incorrect. Each orbiter was designed to fly 100 missions. Atlantis flew 33, meaning she's barely reached 1/3 of her design life. The shuttle program was scheduled to last until 2020 when Columbia was lost. That's when Bush panicked and said the program would end ten years early.

[Jellyrocket1]

UFO? You mean a bit of debris which you see on every single other STS launch?

[GenlVoetsek]

excellent launch. my question for the future is: why do we want to put humans into orbit around Mars, instead of landing there? Surely robots could do the same. If we're going there, we should land there.

[lordoftheriffs79]

@GenlVoetsek you are so right, mars is not moon, you cant go there in 3 days and any time you want, you cant also go there too many times ,so one shot landing must be the goal

[VdeVodka]

UFO at 6:55

[trechan]

@VdeVodka wow, you are really stupid.

[VdeVodka]

@trechan stupid is your father

[trechan]

@VdeVodka Stupid, is your mother..

[maestroko]

Cool! I was there today. Amazing!!!

[boomer757]

ive lived in florida all my life, and havent seen one of these things launch, i want to catch the next one so bad!

[lolvks]

@boomer757 well, theres only 2 left, so you better make sure you do experience one

[american2015]

Few things in this world are as beautiful as a shuttle launch!! Its a shame we only have two more to see.

[fredbessa]

6:55 UFO Launching

[350z350zify]

i was at school so i didnt get to see this. atlantis had a great run.

[sledger25]

half the weight gone in a minute and a half... wow!

[fredbessa]

There's something (high speed) in the 6:53 flying behind the atlantis and going to space.....UFO??

[scaremenga]

@fredbessa It's waving goodbye.

[shadowspork]

I watched the launch at work. Sad to see it fly for the last time. :(

[sib1981]

amazing!

[EverythingMagic101]

it was amazing i was there, i watched it from Milikens Reef

[DJDiscovery1]

i was in work....argh!....Final Atlantis Launch....come September with the final EVER launch....there will be tears...i'm 37yrs and have grown up with the Space Shuttle through Triumph and Tragedy.

[sledger25]

@DJDiscovery1 November now... Space station managers decided to switch out an Alpha Magnet Spectrometer for a stronger one, which has delayed the STS 134 mission until Mid November...

[DJDiscovery1]

@sledger25 Cheers for the update.....argh!....gotta wait longer.....never mind i know the wait will be worth it.Everyone agrees....every launch is spectacular...however,ever since they've put cameras everywhere,all the shots blow your mind!:-)

[FernandoCrescando]

The LAST flight for Atlantis?! Wow!

[Cydonia76]

Last Atlantis Launch....WOW

[mebeViolett]

I can't believe I missed it :(

[okauj]
