  • In the bucket means maximum dynamic pressure on the vehicle as it has to slowdown so the air pressure on the shuttle is lessened if the shuttle kept going quicker it would fall to pieces the air pressure would be far too great for the hull of the shuttle

  • It's actually not slowing down but just throttling back to reduce the acceleration as the all stack maneuvers. The velocity's still going uphill.

  • dream job F/D

  • I ask me what's Ellen Ochoa thinking in this moments before the launch. I can imagine it's a little bit of:"Yeah, we'll fly again." and a lot of:"hope all is working well and the crew is save."

  • @prielazybones The guy seated to the right of the director has a nervous (worried) frown upon his forehead. And that female is so nervous that she can't even set down. ("I got to go pee!)

  • 3:52 - heart attack moment

  • The astronauts may have the most fun, but these guys make it possible. Thumbs up for the guys behind the computers working hard to keep our astronauts safe.

  • This was... incredibly boring. Then again, most government jobs are. 

  • @genius16180333 yeah so, white people invented everything you fucking see there. And what's the matter there can't be a group of white people anymore without a bunch of minorities tagging along? Fuckin racist.

  • Isn't it nice how NASA is no longer full of white people? Oh wait...

  • 2 people worked in the mission control
