    Man, the space shuttle was a masterpiece I stil don't know how people can called it a failure. To me, this was one of the most amazing things the humans had ever built.
    A lot of things were learned with this orbiter. The accidents were sad and I wish they didn't occur but everyone who was involved in this project are legends.

    • @davidstinger1134
      @davidstinger1134 Рік тому +65

      Because it failed at it's intended goals, which was to make a cheap and reliable vehicle with a quick turnaround.
      In reality, each launch cost an average of half a billion dollars, it's two accidents proved that it was potentially dangerous, and it went from an estimated 14 day turnaround, to an average of 88 days.
      That doesn't mean it wasn't an extremely advanced marvel of engineering, but it failed at it's purpose.
      Bear in mind this isn't because of the engineers or NASA, it's because of Congress' ludicrous demands.
      NASA intended the Space Shuttle to be a small vehicle to ferry people and some cargo to and from LEO at a very low cost, nothing more, very similar to the Dream Chaser.
      Thing is, when NASA asked for funding, Congress started making one demand after another, including making it able to launch satellites and, potentially, space stations, along with the capacity to assist in building them. (hence the Shuttle's robotic arm)
      This completely changed the scope of the project, made the Space Shuttle go from something slightly bigger than a car to the behemoth it ended up being, and it's sheer size brought about all the issues it had with reentry that made it a relatively unsafe vehicle.
      In the end, they spent almost 200 billion dollars on a spacecraft program that didn't do anything rockets like the Delta IV couldn't.

      I would love to know how the engineers managed to make such slow rocket for space travel. You take a model rocket video and make it look the same size as the space shuttle rocket, and the space shuttle is barely crawling while a model rocket appears to shoot off like a bullet. I want to know why the scale speed does not appear equal in this case. After all when you take a real train going 60 and a model train appearing to go 60, film them side by side, and visually they appear to go the same speed. I feel the space shuttle launch is nothing more than a giant helium balloon floating up with a bucket of fireworks material dripping out the bottom to simulate rocket thrusts and they've been faking the whole thing this way.

    • @ajspice

      Here's why it is no longer in use. Originally, the shuttle was expected to launch as often as once per week, at a cost of $20 million per launch. Instead, it ended up costing about $1.5 billion per launch. I don't have much respect for members of the House and the Senate. But in this case, they made the right call in terminating the program. In addition, former NASA administrator Bolden initiated the private-sector space launch program. Now we have SpaceX, which can do it cheaper with reusable vehicles.

      Once they moved the airlock to the cargo bay it opened up a lot of space in the crew compartment. But yes it is not very big inside. That being said it is a massive machine. You never think about how big it really is until you see one up close. Visit the Atlantis exhibit at the Kennedy Space Center. You will be so close to the shuttle you can touch it. It is extremely humbling to be in the same room with that machine that has been to space multiple times. You can even smell what the Shuttle smells like. It's amazing.

Now, those three are failed spacecraft and programs. The Shuttle launched a fuckload of satellites and space probes when the reusable rockets for satellite launching weren't very good in the world until the late 1980s with the fantastic Delta II. The Shuttle-Mir, Hubble, and ISS programs were incredible and so were all the science research missions done by the Shuttle. Also the Russian space program would not be successful today without NASA and the USA. After the Soviet Union broke up the Russian government stopped funding their space program. NASA came to the rescue with Shuttle-Mir and the USA actually paid for the manufacturing and launching of Mir's Spektr (1995) and Priroda (1996) modules, LMAO. If you are gonna toot the Russians' horn then you gotta thank the USA for bailing their asses out during the 1990s when they had NOTHING in terms of space funding.
