  • I just have to know, what do you do that you can get so close? I know you work at NASA. But, what is your job title? I wanna do what you do! lol

  • Aerospace engineering and I'm glad you like the videos!!

  • what was the object on the left side between 1:32 to 1:36 ?

  • That is the Gulfstream (G2) aircraft flown by the chief astronaut that shadows the shuttle during the last few miles of flight just prior to touchdown. The chief astronaut is looking for any abnormalities prior to landing primarily for post-landing investigative purposes.

  • Spectacular!

  • Beautiful...just beautiful.
