Wonder if that 384 beam is still in use today or new units were fabricated. Also interesting that they stacked the left aft center with the first field joint mate before putting the right aft on the other hold down posts.

Good stuff as always...such a fantastic resource you are providing Mike, for generations to come

when nasa had to be cautious they were not later on they put out these show spacewalks (interesting nonetheless) to show how much they cared about the little things.

I miss these well done videos. NASA TV has ruined things lately

Commander joe engel(still alive) Pilot richard truly(r.i.p and dead in 2023)

Huh, Red Skull worked for NASA

The day after this launch, the films "Mission Impossible" and "Twister" premiered in theaters and need I say more about both films?

Was it built by rockwell?

I wonder where that thing is now.

Space shuttle atlantis took two mission specialist wow so fabulous

Love the gag photos

Say cheese

Love this

you can't tell me no one there that day wasn't a little on edge about the reentry. Everyone was aware that something happened during lift off and that possibly there was damage to the left wing of the aircraft. So for the flight director to say that that never crossed his mind until after the they started getting alerts back is a lie.

Nice clear video compared to other sites, but ruined because some vital narration is truncated, like the first mention of tire pressure issues, and many others.

Leroy Cain is such an incredibly decent man. Through the heartbreak inside, he maintained control. Best Flight Commander!❤

What happened was Nasa not willing to think safety first. They had to many scrubs and were in a hurry to launch. They knew there were people saying they had problems with the 0-rings and the cold affected them, Same as Columbia they worried more about Nasa then the safety of the crew. They could have got satellite pics of Columbia, they knew the foam struck the wing. They also knew Apollo 1 had trouble before the fire and most were disappointed with the Apollo capsule. It took 3 dying to rebuild Apollo right. So that's 17 that died because of Nasa itself.

WOW did those two work well together!! Fantastic.

I remember being home from school that day i was setting on the edge of my grandmother couch home from having chicken pox and measles my mom and grandma were shocked my mom said trun the TV off it was on all day and night it was on for two weeks my wife's uncle worked for NASA at the time he told my wife and sister-in-law when they were young he had to go and retve there hardwere he was an engineer for dod for NASA so yeah this was tough for all of us who grew up in the 80s but we've moved on no disrespect to the astronauts or there families I'm talking about us the kids teenagers the young adults that's what i remember just putting this out

Some of the segments seem spliced out of order, is it known for certain all of the footage here is time coded correctly to the audio? Not looking for conspiracies, just genuinely curious.

Many commenters have mentioned the "no go around option" as a hair raising, nail biting issue. While I don't want to minimize the absolutely awesome accomplishment of landing a shuttle safely, I do want to point out the sailplane pilots, skydivers and hang glider pilots face this exact situation on every single landing.

It's not 'landing', it's breaking a fall. LOL

Forever remembered as the Woody Woodpecker mission! 14 STS missions carried an IUS deployed payload - over a tenth of the Shuttle program.

Rest in peace Columbia you will be missed 🪦

Rest in peace Challenger you will be missed 🪦

The flight director was not the man.

Awesome! 👍🚀

A Holy Hell glide slope.

4:02 that’s a smooth and genius transition.

Thank you very much Shuttlesource, as always your incredible videos that take us back to the glorious days of the Space Shuttle. Congratulations space friend 🤜🤛👨‍🚀 Hail Space Shuttle Program ❤️

Stupid PR stunt putting on the bailout system. If the orbiter was stable enough and at an adequate altitude to bailout, then why would they bailout?

I/m currently building a retro 80's NASA shuttle suit and cosplaying as Guy Bluford. The shuttle, despite its problems, is still my FAVORITE vehicle!! Hands down!

Here we come to another space shuttle columbia sts mission flight

The CFI in me just wants to say, you were off centerline…

Remember that the pilot has been weightless for days. Must be tricky to use the controls after such a long weightless state.

Woodpecker mission 😂

The final TDRS satellite deployment from shuttle.

I love sts-70 mission

Beaitiful roses.

I find it very interesting that NASA was flying shuttle flights in spite of the public not paying attention because they're paying more attention to OJ Simpson and his infamous murder trial that was occurring during this time (not to mention Johnny Cochran's "If it doesn't fit, you must acquit." comments). This was also one of nine shuttle flights whose publicity was thrown under the bus by the "OJ Simpson Murder Trial."

The flying brickyard was alwasy exciting to watch land, this is awesome

They're gliding, No engines, so no go-arounds, no missed approaches. They have one shot. Incredible job! 👍

One summer day in the mid/late 1990s, I was a teenager cutting the grass in the front yard of our home in the Melbourne, Florida area. I happened to look up, only to see a 747 in a banked left-hand turn to head North up the coast to KSC. Gave me a fantastic view of the piggyback shuttle. It was quite a sight. Seeing it in person was far more impressive than seeing it on TV or in pictures.

I counted something like five instances that would have made me decide to go around in a Piper Cherokee. Holy descent rate, Batman!!
