they used hat felt and bathtub silicon to attach the heat tiles . so how didi that work out ?
the greatest space rocket to ever be made,the Saturn V was a beast but the multi uses of the shuttle for its era was best bar none
One of the most interesting and well done documentaries I've ever seen. Thanks a lot.

I'll blame NASA for the Challenger incident. They knew that the cold can cause problems with the ORings but the High ranked Managers thought they're godlike and nothing can happen to them.
What an amazing documentary.
America has always been an endeavour in space race. They made every space program impossible possible. Constantly Dwelling on risk to achieve success in such a micro gravity from launch pad till re-entry and landing safely on earth was always a night mare for NASA engineers as observed from many space documentaries I have seen. 👍
Gründe & Begründen .......
I remember this day well as I was sat in history class and someone out of our class had got a radio into class and turned it on to the amazement of the class to which he was told off by the teacher and had it confiscated we all said miss this is history in the making and we are in a history class turn it back on we want to listen so she put it on her desk turned it back on then told him he can have it back after school.
Hvor er det rigtig godt og er fantastisk af folk kan få os på en ny planet,og er kommet så langt som vi nu er.
Ja for i 69 gik der mennesker på månen, ja nemlig ja men vi kan ikke flyve til månen i morgen,. Hvordan kan det dog være? Van allen radiation belt, måske
Very nicely put together.
Space shuttle is a big machine evar
Still a Great Job done America. From the begining everybody hoped that nothing will ever ocure but in reality that does not exist.
2021 watching
I know its all about NASA, but sad they didnt mention about Soviet shutles, that were scavenge from stolen US plans, and if im correct the Buran actually worked, was cheaper to use, and because it flew only on external rocket wihout its own engines, it also had more storage. Even the Antonov 225 was especialy build to transport the shuttle. But all was scraped and forgoten after Soviet Union breakdown...
Stolen US plans ???
The Space Shuttle's non confidential plans had been on public view for years.
Not a clue what your talking about.

In UA-cam they only show the American glory, but USSR in that time also had the best super edge technologies, but we don't even know that
Because NASA tells its history in space, they don't have to tell others history, specially Russian which historically is it's most feared foo
@19.50 the tiles were loose fitted. Which means if any one tile fails, then it is free to fall. It's better to be interlocked with each other, so if any one of the tiles went loose, then the adjacent tiles will support each other. And there were 25000 of them.
Just on a side note: Loved it how John Young petted the "horse" after landing because he was so proud of the vehicle that had given him a hell of a ride (in the most positive way). ❤
And he landed "her" as smoothly as anyone could, handled her like the virgin she was... (sorry, got carried away a bit here).
Didn't they orbiter land itself tho?
Incredible feat to run those engines without fault for so many trips even more Incredible if they were exchanged numerous times and kept the reliability.
Excellent documentary - very informative. Also shows not everyone in America is an idiot! Thank you for the upload.
what kind of responsibilities does NASA have for families of the astronauts of the doomed flights of Challenger and Columbia space shuttles in the aftermath of the disaster? Does NASA have to face court battles from their families? or do they settle it before the disaster by contracting them to some kind of life insurance policies?
Senator Barbara Mikulski (1:03:36) knows where it's at: "If we were gonna go to the moon ehhh or go back to Mars...."

Many people believe space exploration a waste of money.
But it beats war as a means of raising tech to higher disciplines.
Landing on the moon drove technology to once impossible goals.
Today’s iPhone is proof of that.
Those teachers who got rejected for the mission must be thanking their luck...
if u know it can't be fixed it's best to not let your crew know it's their last flight, make it quick

I’m really conflicted about the Space Shuttle. On one hand, because it could only reach Low Earth Orbit, it feels like it was a hand brake on deep space human spaceflight. On the other, it was crucial in creating the ISS, which was essential to studying the effects of long term existence in space and all the problems associated with it. I don’t think we’d be able to eventually have manned bases on the Moon and Mars without that research.
Agree. Although the Saturn V could have achieved the same in 5 launches with room to spare. What did it it take the shuttle programme? 27? not to mention assistance from Proton rockets and Soyuz. That robotic arm did come in useful though.
Hubble Telescope did not record a single star being born, thats the only flaw in this material
Amazing Achievements.
Thank you for putting this together.
Worth a mention..
There is a person in this documentary who looks EXACTLY like one of the Olmecs from The Mysterious Cities of Gold; Fitting that this is a documentary about space.
I will neither confirm nor deny the name of the person.. but I look forward to your speculation if you are old enough to remember the Cartoon Series, and make the same connective observation that I did.
Stay.. Nice And Safe, All.

apologies, but I have to step in: the crew on Columbia knew all along what happened to the spacecraft, but they were told that all is fine. the crew on the ground spotted the foam hitting the wing, asked for more detailed pictures, but were denied.
more details here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linda_Ham.
to add to the injury, the team that ran the tests to see if the foam could actually destroy the carbon-fiber reinforced structure on the left wing was denied the possibility of tests repeatedly.
so again, with all due respect, the chain of events presented here is false.

Keep strong. Dont forget that despite the evil in this world, God is full of justice, mercy and love.
Justice said we broke His perfect law - causing the world's previous perfection to be destroyed - and therefore we deserve Hell (like a punishment in any legal system but this is eternal as His perfect law is eternal too). Don't think you fit in that category? Ever done one of these?: lying, stealing - regardless of how small the object EVER, hating others - which is murder in God's perfect law, lusting (plus God sees our entire thought life). Justice says "the soul that sins shall die" - if we break one in thought/word/deed it's as if we're guilty of all of them. Quite simply, living by the law (which is doing everything perfectly) is impossible for sinful humans
. The law shows us that 1. We will die in Hell if we fail to follow it and 2. We cannot save ourselves BUT, 3. God's perfect, immovable law points us to Christ, who followed and fulfilled the law in thought, word and deed perfectly in our place. He did what we couldn't and did it on our behalf. He was then sentenced to death on a cross, and took our personal punishment for our sin, paying our penalty (like paying our fine) completely FOR us, and has given us freedom.
If we turn from the sins we have committed and repent (pursue the opposite direction of love through Christ) He will, overtime, recreate us back into that previously perfect image through The Holy Spirit which Jesus sends to all who accept Him as their personal Lord and Savior of their life. It's not about following the law - perfectly, as it's impossible - it's about letting Christ in to guide and teach you and obeying Him through His power (not ourselves as it's impossible without depending on His power and instruction).
He is our substitute in His life, death and resurrection. He essentially rewrote history in our place so that, if you believe in Him, it will be as if you had never sinned if you accept Christ's death as our own in our place.
He is in Heaven right now preparing a place for us so that He can take His faithful, believing children home with Him when He returns. He will ressurrect us from death when He returns, giving mercy to those who accept His love, instruction and teachings in their life, and give justice to those who refuse it.
He doesn't want ANY of us to go to Hell and die for continuing in evil and rejecting His way to life, thats why He died FOR us. Hes giving EVERYONE a chance, He wants everyone to take the free gift of salvation from Hell. He wants us to be His and begin to follow His life of love and service through His power and abiding (staying) with Him. So long as we keep our hearts near to Christ through His strength, strive to follow His will of perfect love revealed in the Bible, and let Him lead in the midst of (very certain) pitfalls and struggles, we will, in time, win the ultimate victory over sin, pain and DEATH through Christ. Even if you are willing to be made willing, pray for Jesus to come in and He will do what we can't. Give us The Holy Spirit who will guide us in the right way.
NOTE: You are NEVER too sinful or messed up that God cannot turn your life around through Jesus. EVER

Very useful. Thank you
Though Enteprise was never used as an Orbiter since was purely for testing its gliding capability thats all never went into orbit
@@jsmithmultimediatech Enterprise is considered an orbiter. It has an Orbiter Vehicle Designation number.

5:25. For all the wrong reasons.
SSTO shuttle should be launched on a rail ramp. The best method yet never tried.
It has been done, the G forces are far too high.
Most Complex vehicle with thousand things should go your way. 🙄That takes some courage and engineering.

interesting point about the columbia accident though. With the foam strike on the leading edge, what could they have done to fix it? Im guessing there was no AAA or spare tile patch kit on board.
Yeah, literally there was nothing that could have been done.
@@fredury no they could not have done that.
@@fredury There are several reasons. They were on a different orbit than the ISS. They did not have enough fuel to catch up to them. Also Columbia was not able to even dock with the ISS even if they could have linked up with them.
@@fredury Nope. Wrong orbit. They didn't have the dV to get to the ISS.
@@djbeezy There were some options, pack the hole with water bags, keep that part of the wing in shadow and freeze the water. Re-Enter and hope that the ice padding lasts long enough to get down to bail out levels. Very risky, low chance but something.
Atlantis could have been used for a rescue but that had it's own risks.
52:31 Charlize Theron?
They should display one of the shuttles with the full stack, obviously without fuel lol
they are planning on doing this i think
They'd need a bloody big shed in order to be able to do that.
The total height of the Space Shuttle stack including the fuel tank, at launch stands at 184.2 feet, that's roughly as tall as a 17 storey building.
Safe and Reliable?!! No way! The biggest mistake, was to use hitresisting tiles! They should have known that that was a GIANT mistake.
Feld?!! And ordanairy glue?!! For a spacecraft that had to withstand extremely high temperatures and dynamic forces?!! You guys were out of your mind!! Total irresponsible!! I can't believe what I am seeing and hearing in this documentairy!! This madness!!
Chill, man. It's an old thingy, whaddya expect for? If you're looking for safer spacecraft, then why you don't check out Dragon or Starliner?
All in all, the shuttle program was a big success providing solid launch pads for successive ones that the entire world should contribute to, basing on the fact that "no one is so poor to share and no one is so rich to receive".
It was impressive, but to consider it as a succes, I don't think so.
2 spacecrafts were lost, this is the saddest thing.
But after all, it must become a cheap way to do space flight, it turned out otherwise. Also non of the spacecraft reached the number of flights where they were originally designed for. The spacecrafts were simply not reliable enough.

the space shuttle wasn't doomed after launch it was doomed when it entered earth atmosphere
It WAS doomed after the launch, 82 seconds after the launch to be precise, when a piece of insulating foam and ice broke loose from the external propellant tank and slammed into the leading edge of the Orbilers left wing at an impact speed estimated at around 530 miles per hour., from that moment on the Shuttles fate and that of her crew was sealed !!!

the best document I've seen to date. its interesting to see what Elon musk is doing now is nothing new. a capsule type design has already been done and one of the designs for the space shuttle looks a lot like the SN he is building now
Bro al dough the shuttle was crazy, it was a failure because off the cost. Musk is actually creating rockets without spending billions…
Kommischweiser diieser mal weniger Leute waren dabei bei Starten
Lets be honest! The design was a joke and a deathtrap
135th and "final mission" lol we can't leave
The designers and engineers could have known right from day one, that inspecting such a complicated machine with 2.5 million parts, would be costing far more time than two weeks! And a thousand parts that needed EXTRA attention!
Error in this documentairy: On the morning of the 28 of januari 1986, there was NO concern for the tiles! There was concern for the O-rings of the SRB's!! The day before, there had been a debate between Morton Thiokol and NASA, because wether reports made it very clear, that there should be temperatures of -46 degrees fahrenheit at the morning of the launch! That cold, was NOT good for the O-rings of the SRB's because they could shrink, and leak fuel! However, the NASA was overruling the engineers, and said they would not hold the launch. We all have seen what was the result.....
So you've seen "Challenger: A Rush to Launch" as well.
Why do I have to pink a tear watching this? Must be the menopause.

Only thing is the space shuttle never took anyone to the moon, so its a shame they got rid of the Saturn V
I agree. And there nothing SpaceX is trying to do now with Starship that couldn’t have been done in 1980.if the money for shuttle had been spent on a reuseable deep space vehicle we’d have a large base, bigger than ISS on the Moon by now, and be on our way to Mars. Having shuttle only capable of getting to low Earth orbit was it’s biggest failure, not to mention having it side mounted made it very dangerous from the start.
Go US!👏👏👏
I like cheese!

Why NASA can't went to moon by shuttle ?
Because it was only designed for low earth orbit. You need a huge heavy lift rocket such as the Saturn V or the SLS to launch a mission to the moon.
Nasa kamu faham apa nangsah
The Spaceshuttle was doomed from the beginning. It's construction was NOT high advanced, as is said in this movie! Only high complicated. TO complicated with 2,5 million parts! And not to forget those extremely vulnerable tiles, that costed the life of 7 astronauts!!
The Spaceshuttle was for the biggest part, a failure!
Yup, just like your life.
Man, you need to chill for a while. You sounds like you're overreacting over something that's already retired for nearly a decade.
It's on the past, and you have to be glad that now we have SpaceX with Dragon and Boeing with Starliner. It's more safer and you better to stop ranting over it.

Sorry, but the shuttle was awesome
The Space Shuttle was a great concept, however it was a top down design with almost no fail safes in the event of launch or re-entry emergencies, it's greatest strength also happened to be its greatest weakness, it's fragile heat shield, not to mention its external fuel tank which had a history of shedding foam insulation since the very first launch, also the fact that it ascends into orbit in a heads down position with the main fuel tank and the SRB's on top which left the most critical areas of the Shuttle, the underside and the wings, vulnerable to foam strikes which as has been seen lead with the loss of one Shuttle, Colombia, and it's crew. A bottom up design would have factored in all the safety issues and designed a vehicle around it accordingly, in hindsight the correct decision was made to retire it.
It was too costly, and too unsafe to keep going.
