What are the compounds that hold the two pieces together @ 12:42?

[spacevidcast]

@DeepAbsentia The two support arms in the front don't carry any thrust loads. Only yaw loads (keeps the orbiter's nose from shifting left or right). The larger supports in the background (near center of the shot) are 17" liquid hydrogen and oxygen feedlines with a ball-and-socket type of attachment. They have small pyrotechnics that detonate when it's time for the orbiter and tank to separate.

Simply Amazing footage., Its a bit overwhelming to think in the vastness of space and the achievements the human race has acomplished in the past decades of space exploration., My respects to the crews of Apollo 1, SS Challenger and SS Columbia. Their sacrifice will never be forgotten and their memory lives on with each new discovery.

Such a shame our government cut the fund for NASA. I live in Florida and I go at least twice a year to Ksc. Is a great experience, educational. The IMAX hubble 3d is fun. And hands down for the shuttle launch simulation..

Such a shame we will never see another shuttle launching into space.

Atlantis is my favorite space shuttle of the fleet, but I like them all in addition to Atlantis. Too bad I'll never get to see a space shuttle launch in person now that the space shuttles have been retired, but maybe in the future I could go to KSC and see Space Shuttle Atlantis on display.

@AvatarAlphaOmega i am older than you flagfucker

@DeadJesus100 When you're older and wiser one day (many decades into the future for you unfortunately), and you realize how fucked up you are, how ignorant you are and how often you make a fool of yourself (every time you troll YouTube, at least), you will have the opportunity to redeem yourself for polluting the Web with your Neanderthal views by committing suicide and thankfully ridding the human gene pool of your corruption.

Until then, please shut the fuck up.

Thank you, that is all.
