@VirtualRealities nah as much as I love these machines, they were not what NASA wanted right from the start and something better will come along before too long. The new one looks like a backward step, being simply a bigger version of the apollo system, but other people are on the case. Who knows, a private effort done by enthusiasts like in Denmark might be the way?

thats part of the launch pad, the sparks are there to ingite any stray gases to keep them from building up so when teh main engines come on any chance of an explosion has been dimished

What an amazing vehicle. The engineers that came up with it sure had their act together along with all of the people that have maintained it over the years. Pride of the USA! I got to see the launch from the not so illustrious clarion inn in titusville!

Spark igniters are to burn any pockets of hydrogen that form under the orbiter. Dont want little explosions under there !

We can't let them shut down the Shuttle fleet.

Video of launches have come along way since the 80's. The shuttle belly cam really gives you a new understanding of how fast that sucker is going. Godspeed to anyone who straps one of those things to their ass.
