  • Air Canada! WEEEEEEEEEEUUUUH!!!

  • @paccio82 AND wrong continent :P

  • That is an incredible video!

    I would have loved to have been in that plane watching that!

  • @snowydro1

    Overall around 8 minutes. First part is 2 minutes unitl seperation of solid rocket boosters. Than 6 more minutes main engine firing accellerates it to 28 000 km/h. Later on there is a non powered flight for about 25 min. Then the smaller engines are firing for about 2-5 minutes (depends on which altitude your flight should have) to put the shuttle into proper orbit.

    All engines firing at launch are producing around 200 million hp and they burn about 2200 tons of fuel in only 8 min.

  • @blockfrenzydude how fast does it go

  • @snowydro1

    from launch until it gets into space....about 8 minutes.

  • how long does it take for a shuttle to get into space? days? hours? weeks? anyone know? can i get a few opinions please? thanks, joe

  • I'm watching a digitally encoded video for free on the Internet of men rocketing into space as seen from the vantage point of commoners flying through the air using their handheld computers to capture the event.

    What a joy to be alive in the free world in this age!

  • one of the best space shuttle launch video seen from a plane i've ever seen.

    normal c'est sur air canada les cousins de la belle province on des bon avion et des pilotes qui prennent soin de leur passagers.

    dire que j'ai passé 25 ans de ma vie a espérer pouvoir assister a un décollage de la navette mais je ne la verrais jamais mieux que sur internet de plus j'ai raté la super cagnotte de 160 000 000€ d'hier ce qui m'aurait permis d'aller passer quelques jour a bord de la station spatiale.

  • @smart451cab sorta yea did u hear that they found water on mars and umm my parents told me that the reason why they stop the space program is because there selling them to pay of Americas debt... and WOW you smart....
