  • The sonic boom! Is that like when it breaks threw the sound barrier??

  • Yes,

    as the space shuttle breaks the sound barrier, the sound waves are pushed together. At first, you hear nothing, and then you hear the sonic boom.

  • what sound was it at 2:27 ?? it was like a bang or something, what and why did it sound like that??

  • It was a pair of the sonic booms.

  • The sonic boom was incredibly loud here in the Tujunga-Sunland. :)

  • The sonic boom was incredibly loud over the Los Angeles area too.

  • I can just imagine a movie being filmed somewhere in LA when Discovery was coming in....BOOM BOOM "aaaww CUT! CUT!" "What was that noise!?" "Cant they see im making a movie here??"

  • @treelizard99 I Believe it is vapor trials coming of the tips of the wings because of the speed its going. I could be wrong.

  • What are the lines coming from the Tim's of the wings ?

  • @TheFutureIsRightHere No it is not. Regardless of how fast the craft is going as long as it is supersonic it will make a sonic boom. The boom is all the sound that the craft is generating piling up and then hitting you all at once.

  • Start this: /watch?v=HkRtn_8iVNk at 3:38, with the soundtrack at half volume.

  • What kind of nimrod would have given this a thumbs down?

  • Ah yes, the sonic booms. They were kinda loud when they past over orange county, but most likely less loud then when they passed over the Los Angeles area.

  • I've been fortunate to hear that sonic boom several times and it's awesome.

  • @henkeblenke1 When It goes BELOW THE SOUND Barrier

  • I love the fact that this is the most advanced machine in the World...capable of so much...but it still needs a bit of red cloth at the end of the mission to make it stop :)
