The shuttle is Discovery. You can hear the CAPCOM say "Discovery, Houston" in the opening seconds of the clip.

@Orion13622 Actually Orion is only the crew capsule. We have NO rocket under NASA development because Obama cancelled the Ares rocket portion of the Orion program. We now will need to rely on the Russia to get into space until private company's like Space X complete testing on the Falcon and Falcon Heavy rocket. We should have funded the shuttle until the new rockets were flight ready. Bush cancelled the shuttle program but funded NASA to develop a new Ares human and Ares Heavy lift rocket.

@xXxDANMANxXx 17580 miles an hour to be exact. Upon re-entry, the STS is moving at a speed of MACH 25. Hard S-Turns slow her down for landing. Hope that helps. :)

@Lifter85, How do you figure it's Obama's fault? If you were really up on NASA Technology and spaceflight, you'd know of the next ship called Orion, which will REPLACE the STS. You need to read your facts before opening up your mouth like an idiot. Do you seriously think we'd be leaving 6 people on the ISS?? The STS has to retire due to the age of it's design. Orion is taking it's place.
