I will always be in awe of the shuttle. Designed in the early 70's when, let's not forget, there was no cfd or cad as of today and yet it still remains in service. That's a huge credit to all the engineers and designers that worked on this awesome spacecraft. The SSME's, for me, have been the most awesome part of the shuttle flights, proving 100% reliable throughout every mission. Everything about the shuttle is simply incredible and I love it. I'm so very sad to see it being retired to museums

@FOGGYDUC I wouldn't say they're 100% reliable, but they've definitely got an awesome flight history. See STS-93 for one example of less than nominal performance from them.

Two more, one for Endeavour and one for Atlantis

All the videos I seen of all the shuttle launches have 3 or 4 dislikers. Bet that they hate Shuttle. :(

But its a awesome shuttle

[MrAstronaut2013]

Remember watching CNN and the finnal launch of Discovery. Man what a awesome shuttle.

I was there! And a lot of drama and fingers crossed for a launch that almost didnt happen. they had 2 seconds to spare! A launch was #1 on my bucket list and a hot day in february with a lot of drama made for an incredible trip!

has anyone noticed that instead of saying "zero" at the T 0 mark. For Discovery they say "booster ignition" for every launch

This video would have been perfect if some had not edited little bit out of it...why was that done?

@EagleSoarsfps your dumb. a Water engine is Useless,

I think you need to have a look at what NASA has done for the world and then come back and comment. also with Space Exploration you can find better minerals on other planets and Chemicals to further help humanity. the future of the human race is in space not on Earth. I'm done commenting to a person who doesn't understand the Importance of Space Exploration, I will not be commenting back to a retard.

@EagleSoarsfps you retard NASA has been running on Pennies last 8 years

NASA furthers tech gain... 19 billion a year isn't alot. for such a Agency.

[Dogmeat1950]

@EagleSoarsfps are you fucking retarded!? they found water on the moon.

Are fucking dumb are you!?!?!? NASA has further Humanity through it's exploration and Tech then any other.

and yes there are livable planets out there. the key is getting to them also Nasa has found plants like ours but they are a good way away need tech to get to them.

I really hate people like you, NASA has done so much and you don't even know it.
