  • @TheLiLD95 It's not copyright. NASA is funded by the government which in turn is funded by taxpayers, so all of their images they produce are public domain. ;-)

  • Que hermoso.... una lastima que ya hayan acabado....

  • i saw this on the highway on my way home and had to stop along with several other cars because of how cool it was

  • @foxtrot789 Regardless of what may seem, most of the content release by NASA including the millions of images they have is released under the public domain.

  • @KDALove That's like saying it's ok to take a police officers cruiser out for a joy ride cause you pay city taxes...

  • @Trex1094 the return velocity is greater than the ascent velocity through the rough part, the atmosphere. the second stage and so on get it up to escape velocity. it seems the only danger the sound barrier would offer is while returning through the atmosphere. it goes through the sound barrier while being deccelerated in a hot firey ball. what could go the most wrong at that point?

  • @dattajack Discovery most definitely dosent slow down until it begins its return to Earth.

  • @beatchildproductions The shuttle At MECO or Main Engine Cut Off its moving 17,500mph

  • I so much hate the gayish comments at launch, they're so full of annoying and boring cliches, like "aaaaaaand LIFTOFF" -> I can fucking see it myself, then "bla-bla of the space-shuttle X to bring science to a new level bla-bla -> CRAP", or "x milion pounds of humans and hardaware". JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP PEOPLE, ypu're ruining the launch. I really like listening to comlink between Houston and the bird, that's exciting. And best videos have NASA delivered telemetry on the lower left angle.

  • did she say 4500 miles per hour?!?!?!?! I cant even comprehend that..

  • was this the launch at april 5th, we were there march 25th so that shutle we have seen standing up being prepared for the launch
