For the people wondering about the speed changes: Remember that the rocket's trajectory is an arc. For the first 2 minutes 35 seconds, the rockets are climbing under power (reaching 2960mph). For the next 1 minute 15 seconds, the rocket's momentum carries it up to its maximum height of 41 miles high while gravity and minimal air resistance slow it down to 2556 mph. It it were travelling straight up, its speed would be zero here, but it's not. It then starts falling back to earth, gaining back speed due to gravity. Around the 5 minute mark, it starts getting into the thicker part of the atmosphere. At that point it's going much faster than its terminal velocity (how fast the air density will allow it to freefall), so the drag slows it down rapidly towards that terminal velocity. The chutes then open and slow it down even further before a "gentle" dive into the ocean at 96mph.
+misterfeeto Also, is interesting how the chutes make a small opening at first and when it slows to 170 miles they fully opens 6:46 ...and how at 3:01 you can see were atmosphere ends by watching the smoke left by the shutlle. I would like to know the distance they travel, are they recovered in the midle of the Atlantic?
solountipomas Lol I know this is two years ago. Hello future you. I don't think that's where the atmosphere ends I think that is where the SLS Thruster engines cut off. The Atmosphere is not that precise. Also the Shuttle I believe switch to solid fuel engines at this point. I maybe wrong.
3:25 Perfect shot of our humble planet. If this was widescreen, it'd be my wallpaper. Thanks, NASA, for inspiring people. It really makes a difference.

I think the best booster cam video I’ve seen. The sound, the movement of the shuttle at main engine start, then booster start. The view coming down was good too.
@@RestrictedHades Land Speed Record jet cars. But my joke referred to the Delta IVs, Atlases, and other rockets I make parts for 😁 BTW Mach speed is dependent on pressure, temperature of the air, and also in general on what fluid you're moving through.
Awesome! I always thought the transition from the vacuum of space to the upper atmosphere was very gradual. It almost seems the boosters 'hit' the atmosphere very suddenly and slow down all of a sudden
You're both wrong! The boosters never leave the atmosphere. They don't reach space! Space is at an altitude of 100 kms or 328,000 ft.. *The Kármán line.*
@@wildone8397 no they arent all that wrong, The Karman line is only really the legal definition, when talking about atmosphere, hitting it at 10-15 miles makes sense due to the rapid increase in density and high speed of the boosters.
This is amazing. Also I'd love to know more about Skywalker Sound. Really hope NASA keeps building their own launch vehicles and rockets and we don't just end up with SpaceX but that's how it's looking.
I would love it if Skywalker Sound did this for a Falcon 9 launch and landing! It would be very interesting comparing the sound of a liquid-fuel booster with multiple ignitions and supersonic retro-propulsion to this video. I wonder if SpaceX would consider contracting Skywalker Sound to do that?
The footage is incredible, and at times eerie, going from the thrusting, pulsing sounds of the launch-pad, to suddenly the deep silence of space, punctuated by bangs and smashes as various propellants keep the rocket on track.
Yeah, I've gotten so used to watching stage sep followed by a controlled reentry that the tumbling felt very strange. It's beautiful in its own way for sure.
I feel old reading this... Falcon booster still blows my mind that we are able to do a back burn before touching down. "Discarding" was the norm before
I think when some unburnt propellant burns it pops and causes a surge in pressure, which creates the puff of smoke but as the pressure subsides the wind resistance of the booster falling backwards wants to force atmosphere into the cavity, ceasing the puff of smoke until the pressure builds up inside again, and this process repeats. Its just a little battle of pressure between unburnt propellant within the booster and the surrounding atmosphere trying to force its way in.
will never happen, they always make sure its land in the sea. but spocetrash in worse case could hit ur house. but getting hit by lightning is a higher chance.
Gangdaulf oh no, it's flat, it's just that space is warped and it's curved and gives the illusion that it's,,, just kidding, yea it is a sphere, more or less.
Well, at position 3:13 the horizon is curved upwards (as a result of both the distortion caused by the lens and the rotation of the camera). This doesn't prove anything about the actual shape but shows that the camera has an effect on the apparent shape.
We really love this Video :) We made an alternative Version of this Video with one of our Tracks from our new Ambient Album "SPACE", we hope you guys will like it :) You can find it on our UA-cam Channel :)
Its so neat watching it go through the sound barrier and this is really eery. Did you see all that foam they came off during the launch, no wonder Columbias leading edge got a huge hole in it, surprised that disaster didn’t happen a few times.
I'm surprised they landed so close together. So, flat earth folks... did they switch from a fish-eye lens to a regular lens once the hit the water and you see the horizon? Nope, same lens.
92kosta if I remember, the SRB's nozzle is dropped right before impact to prevent it from ramming into the SRB itself which can be seen hitting the water.
@@phillipsturtles1236 Thanks for explaining that, mate. I've always wondered what that was exactly.

Reminds me of the joke (or true story depending on who you talk to) of the Lufthansa pilot complaining at having to speak English to the Frankfurt tower. "I'm a German Pilot, flying for a German airline and I'm in Germany. Why should I address you in English?" A British Airways pilot interrupts on the radio and says "Because we won the bloody war."
The brilliance is in the sound design. I would be surprised if any of the sounds were recorded live. Watch the credits, and you’ll see the talent behind this.

Best part is 1:20 as it passes through the sound barrier and all the sudden the condensation just vanishes.
Definitely the best part. Max Q, and shockwave condensation.
For sure, I didn’t know that you could hear anything before the boom when passing the sound barrier till now
It was actually raining u til they go to that point then it stoped rainin
KC Wildcat Um no, if you don’t know anything about advanced aerodynamics you shouldn’t talk about it.

+misterfeeto Actually it hit the ocean surface at almost exactly 55mph, which, gotta admit, sounds like a reasonably gentle landing.
So if someone farts you have to breathe all of it?
The smoke is from the solid rocket boosters. Once they burn out, there is no more smoke.
solountipomas Lol I know this is two years ago.
Hello future you. I don't think that's where the atmosphere ends I think that is where the SLS Thruster engines cut off.

0:27 the way the space shuttle moves is terrifying
it already starts wobbling at main engine start. Awesome and terrifying at the same time indeed.
It should be wobbling all i've the place as it's so huge, but incredibly it's not, it's a calculating behemoth the size of a building
Geez I wish my dad could see this. He passed away 4 years ago. I remember watching the guys landing on the moon with my dad.
The shot from the booster being released at 2:33 is probably the greatest thing ever filmed by a human camera.
There will never be anything else quite as spectacular as watching the space shuttle launch.

Wow, that’s amazing. The sound quality is phenomenal. How did I never see this footage before.
its not the real sound as far as i understood, it says 'sound design' in the credits which would mean those are added in post production

What an incredible ride that was! The real time sound is the icing on the cake, no silly music needed on this video.
Greatest thing ever built by man.not to mention it came back to earth with zero gas..the space shuttle was and is the complex vehicle ever made
