  • Hail Columbia.

  • And to think the Chinese stole the plans to this bastard.

  • 1 person didn't want to blast off into space...

  • もうスペースシャトルの打ち上げを見れないと思うと、寂しいです­。早く次世代の宇宙船を見てみたいです。

  • I wish NASA TV would start showing these old films again. These are priceless and fascinating to watch.

  • I've never seen footage like this before. Amazing. Can't wait for STS-135!

  • Long Live STS-1..30 Years In the Waiting. Bob Crippen,John Young Forever.

  • @invertballer12 I can't agree with your statement. The Apollo system had abort systems effective from launch till orbit, something the shuttle does not have. Don't get me wrong, the shuttle is still cool and I never miss a launch.

  • @MrGeeBeeEss though it may seem fair to say that no accidents from 13 flights is great, but would those same odds carry for 129 flights? 129 flights of an extremely complicated piece of hardware with 2 failures albeit tragic is remarkable considering the million possible issues. In a nutshell 0 fails from 13 doesnt make 2 from 129 seem appaling and program destructive.

    Those 14 crew and 2 ships lost will never die, they are exploring the heavens forever

  • I was referring to actual in-flight performance. But yes, three people died on the ground in a "plugs-out test" in preparation for AS-204 (apollo 1).
