Which does more work getting the shuttle in space, the SRBs or the shuttles main engines?
-
As we are retiring the space shuttle program, these night launches will probably be remembered most of all. They were spectacular, staying up all night, and anticipation of the shuttle launching. I miss the shuttle already.
-
I was there, it was amazing. One and only launch I've seen in my life. Awesome, amazing experience!
-
This was the mission that got me into the space shuttle program. Too bad Endeavour's gone now. It will always be my favourite space shuttle. ALWAYS

@TrainGuy33 So did Russia's Shuttle Buran
-
I understand explosives are fitted to destroy the vehicle should it go out of control. And unlike the Apollo missions, I also understand there's no launch escape facility. Consequently, it's clear the crew are considered dispensable, which means one has to be very brave or stupid to hitch a ride.

@John19182004 bullshit

@spacevidcast no more or less "confidence" in it being successful; if they didnt' think it would be, they wouldn't fly.

what is the purpose of the gas vents at the bottom of the engine nozzles ??
yarbas89 9 months ago
@yarbas89 The space shuttle uses super cooled liquid hydrogen and oxygen as its fuel for the main engines. This fuel boils off at a very low temperature, so the gas you see at the top and bottom of the vehicle are the liquid fuels turning to gas as they boil off.

Most Space Shuttle Missions Are In The Day! Why Was This One Launching At Night?
TrainGuy33 11 months ago
@TrainGuy33 Because it just happened to be the right timing when the ISS orbit was in-plane with the launch pad. Plus there was a lot of confidence in the launch being successful.
