You need to get see it in person - I went to see the Endeavour in Los Angeles… breathtaking doesn’t describe it. I got to see it when it was on stilts about 10-15ft above your head, got to walk underneath it - absolutely stunning. Tried to take my Dad to see it later that year but they closed it down because they were building an enclosure to put it into launch position with an external tank and boosters. - The museum was completely free, but I would’ve paid $100’s to go inside the shuttle - unfortunately it was a No when I asked! 😂
There's something to say about how even today, the Space Shuttle is still shown in media and across the internet as the default option for a modern spaceship.
It was an incredible piece of engineering, but it also unintentionally put the idea in the mind of the public that spaceplane configurations are the best solution for all space exploration, when in reality Shuttle was exactly what it said on the tin: just a shuttle bus for getting astronauts and payloads to and from orbit, that's all. Not an appropriate design for deep space or long-duration missions, yet every few years someone else comes out with a never-to-be-built concept design for another fancy looking spaceplane. As laymen we just can't get the image of a sexy winged starship out of our minds, and accept that vertically stacked rockets are the way to go.
That's because its superior to anything we have today with the possible exception of SpaceXs reusable rockets. Building new Shuttles today with modern materials technology and manufacturing techniques would make them almost foolproof. Mothballing them and going back to 1960s "space capsules" was short sighted. Thank fuck we have SpaceXs Starship reusable ships.
Thank fuck, I thought it was just me. Spent some time troubleshooting Bluetooth before I tried with the built-in speakers and it was still very out of sync
Decommissioned for more than a decade and it still amazes me. Think it's because it is the closest thing to a spaceship little me grew up dreaming off. Hopefully starship will make that dream live longer
As a fan of space stuff this video didnt tell me anything I didnt already know, but I really love how it's all packaged in a single video. So very densly packed with comprehensive information it's amazing. I planned to have it on in the background but the stunning visuals meant I couldn't keep my eyes off it.
Knowledge should be free, but he should be paid for making it. It's a hard problem and I'm not sure advertising is the solution, but nobody has any money for anything else.
I love the space so much that I even have a tattoo of it my belly. Thank you so much for this incredible video that is just as amazing as the space shuttle. ❤
Brilliant video. You missed the part about closing the doors on the bottom of the shuttle for the tank connections. I always wondered about those and what closes them since I saw the shuttle at the Smithsonian.
If you’ve never seen it, the video, titled ‘How to Land the Space Shuttle….From Space,’ is a must watch. It’s a real time, pilots view of the Shuttle landing in Cape Canaveral, narrated by Bret (also the name of the channel where you can find the video), who works with NASA & is giving us (and an in person audience) a power point presentation. It’s a lot of fun & has a lot of information about landing what is, essentially, an aerodynamic brick.
I know that this is ironic but I want to explain for those who wants to dunk om this statement. It was maintained and planned more times than modern commercial planes are and have way more backup systems (a commercial airliner has at least 3 different systems, one main and two backups. The Space Shuttles has more, I can't remember how many but they even counted in human error just in case after all this was a very dangerous vehicle that can destroy a whole town if it accidentally decides to dip down towards the ground) thus most of the predictable factors were considered before, during and after launch. After all, the hundreds of tons of volatile fuel mixtures are just sitting there, and tons of TNT worth of energy contained in each part except the Shuttle itself, relative to other parts. It's not just a danger to the crew of 2-7 but also to the launch platform, innocent bystanders, infrastructure, you get it. Almost as dangerous as the nuclear and thermonuclear warheads. And the Shuttle is similarly built with failsafes, especially because people were on-board.
@@lekmannen9990you do realise one is literally the most ambitious attempt at a rocket ever with the aim of pushing the limits of what can be done to their very limits. Doing so in an iterative flight based way and as of late they have conducted not only a catch of the booster but also 3 soft splashdown of the ship and booster and in just 2 more flights will have returned both stages for the first time in history And the other literally had to have crew on every flight, killed 14 astronauts, never managed quick turnaround times and was limited heavily to LEO?
Hallo. I wanted to tells you that your Videos are so nice and detailed. These high quality ducometaries does not only have nice informations but I can learn English with learning sth else together. Thank you so much for these nice videos.
I read somewhere that right after booster separation the shuttle is too heavy to go up with the SSME only (technically speaking it has a thrust to weight ratio below 1) so it temporarily decelerates. This phase lasts a couple seconds because the Shuttle + tanks become lighter due to burning propellant and oxydizer, the thrust to weight ratio becomes greater than 1 and the Space Shuttle starts accelerating once again.
Pretty sure the SLS uses a larger solid rocket having an extra segment compared to the shuttles. Also certain, the Chinese would point to their long march series.
Managed to see the Endeavour in Los Angeles - you owe it to yourself to see one of these shuttles in person! - At the time it was on stilts about 15ft above your head. The museum wouldn’t let me go onboard! ☹️
Both are incredible. Falcon 9 is no chump. It’s by far one of the most advanced rockets ever built and set new boundaries for rocket design Starship also builds on that. But shuttle is ofc iconic
It would’ve been cool if Starlink was around when the space shuttle was there so we can watch the reentry live because now they don’t have any blackout periods
It seems the interview scenes lost audio sync around the 40 minute mark. The animated and slideshows dont appear to have lost sync... Its fairly distracting.
So this is a compilation right? I swear I've heard this before. Odd that the audio is noticeably de-synced. I don't know if the the originals were like that, I don't rememeber.
I knew some day this absolute legend would star in a full hour video of Real Engineering
i will NEVER get tired of watching awesome documentary on the space shuttle
Is that curse even possible?

Maybe you will unemploy NatGeo
Natgeo is no where near the research and information density of the current Real Engineering video. Good luck on keeping up the incredible work

And yet it's a terrible piece of tech. It was expensive and too dangerous. Some rich guys have a cheaper and safer option now.
I think that's mainly due to not wanting to associate with SpaceX
That's because its superior to anything we have today with the possible exception of SpaceXs reusable rockets.

@@Toefoo100 Rule of cool.
Can't help but notice that there is audio-drift. By 30 ish minutes in, interview audio is pretty off... Maybe it's just me?
No you’re not alone 😅
I noticed it too. It’s also off later in the video as well
No, your right. I noticed there is some audio desync at around 31 minutes
Synchronising audio and video requires real engineering! 🙂
Thank fuck, I thought it was just me. Spent some time troubleshooting Bluetooth before I tried with the built-in speakers and it was still very out of sync
Is this a re-upload? I feel like I've already watched this
It’s the 3 episodes of the Space Shuttle series combined
@@RealEngineeringjust as I thought so
I had the same vibes. But worth the re-watch. 👍
Excellent video
I hate when channel does this
A new Real Engineering video? That's over an hour? On space?
This is gonna be a good day
Not new. More like an omnibus edition of an old series. V interesting though
Should definitely do some on relativity or other space startups. That would be cool.
40:01 “allowing any two spacecraft to mate, as Goddard intended” 😂 didn’t catch that on the first video but that’s hilarious!
Little busy now, will back soon to watch this video, i know it will be a wonderful video. . .
It's amazing honestly.
you don't have to, you have already watched it, cuz it's just recycling prevous videos
Decommissioned for more than a decade and it still amazes me. Think it's because it is the closest thing to a spaceship little me grew up dreaming off.
Hopefully starship will make that dream live longer
What a brilliant marketing move of making this video!

Liked even before watching the video
I always do with this channel. I hit play & like, one right after the other.
The 3d animation is insane, thanks a lot to the author of the chanel, I always follow the videos of this chanel from Uzbekistan, Tashkent
I still cry everytime I see the Orbiter Space Shuttle.
It just makes me so happy to that engineering marvel fly.
This really shouldn’t be free but I’m grateful we got this quality for free
Knowledge should be free, but he should be paid for making it. It's a hard problem and I'm not sure advertising is the solution, but nobody has any money for anything else.
Hey Brian, I think you should make more merch. Awesome video btw!
1:50 no they arent... the sls srbs are bigger... theyre literally the same booster with a new segment added so they're definitely bigger
Biggest of there time
Incredibly well-made and informative - thank you for this fantastic documentary!
Oh, this is gonna be a HIT
I love the space so much that I even have a tattoo of it my belly. Thank you so much for this incredible video that is just as amazing as the space shuttle. ❤
Song at 2:05 to 2:15? Beautiful intro.
Brilliant video. You missed the part about closing the doors on the bottom of the shuttle for the tank connections. I always wondered about those and what closes them since I saw the shuttle at the Smithsonian.
I just wanted to acknowledge and thank you for the obvious extreme effort your channel puts in to bring us facts that might otherwise go overlooked.
such an iconic spacecraft, did so much over it's lifetime.

Perfect timing for weekend.
You are my gateway to STEM. Thank you.
Amazing animations!
Recommended supplementary reading : Haynes NASA Space Shuttle Owners' Workshop Manual. There is also one for the Saturn V.
I like how you streamlined and lightened the orbiter by removing the vertical stabilizer :)
Fantastic video
helll yea it's the entire package!
Needed this video
Huh that’s weird, why isn’t it crashing every time? This must be some future super tech.

@ oh I was just thinking about current cutting edge private tech company’s attempts at space flight.

cant believe this is free!
For those curious, those 88x771mm hold down bolts were equal to 3.5"x30"
Absolute monster bolts.

Not a word to say but Quality❤
Thanks!
How wild! I was just on your page looking to see if there was a new video
Epic videos 🎉
The one spaceplane to rule them all.
The intro made me cry man space shuttle is the greatest rocket ship ever designed nothing that come after have match it imo

Yes although those boosters get it far enough for the vehicle to compensate well
1:15 hour video? Old youtube is back? It would be around 400 shorts.
Ahh its reupload. It was too good to be true.
Heheh... "Umbiblical...". Every time. Teehee... But still, incredible work! Thanks!
Now that's some mindblowing real engineering related to the operation of the Space Shuttle! Terrific documentary! 👍👍💥💥
Audio sync issues at 43:45 and around there.
Colume, really?!
At 3:29 surely you mean closed loop engine control, not open loop. Open loop engine control is scripted
An hour long video grab the snacks sit back nd relax ive always wanted longer vids that go more in depth into certain aspects of
When are you gonna do "The insane engineering of the Starship-SuperHeavy Booster"?
what a cook🔥
Interesting!
Is it just me or the sound goes out of sync more and more as the video progresses?
Built in the 70s but damn she is still a beauty all these years later
Is the audio out of sync? - in any case, great documentary!
Pretty sure the SLS uses a larger solid rocket having an extra segment compared to the shuttles. Also certain, the Chinese would point to their long march series.
This vehicle has more gadgets than James Bond's spy car!
This is hard to even think that humans achieved this sort of engineering way back
Hell no. I'm not watching this right now. I need to make a proper dinner and buy a good bottle of wine first.
3:27 I think you meant "exiting open loop"?
Managed to see the Endeavour in Los Angeles - you owe it to yourself to see one of these shuttles in person! - At the time it was on stilts about 15ft above your head. The museum wouldn’t let me go onboard! ☹️
Ah, working for the military-industrial complex I see! War is very profitable, get that bag and ignore the haters!
I'm losing my shit over Brian's pronunciation of "umbiblical" 🤣
Still absolutely loved this series though.
I love it
SpaceX has done a great job in efficiency and cost cutting. But the shuttle is such an engineering flex, it’ll always be awesome.
Both are incredible.
Falcon 9 is no chump. It’s by far one of the most advanced rockets ever built and set new boundaries for rocket design
Starship also builds on that.
But shuttle is ofc iconic
"hey how are we supposed to light this huge solid rocket motor?"... "with a smaller one?"
It would’ve been cool if Starlink was around when the space shuttle was there so we can watch the reentry live because now they don’t have any blackout periods
"...grab it with their bare hands..."
In space. 😁
Where are the comments of the Space Deniers ??? 😅
😂😂 earth is flat man, there i got the flat disc rolling for you.
"as Goddard intended" haha nice one
0:35 narration says Endeavor but the shuttle in the video is the Atlantis
😂I caught that to
Wonderful video, thank you for this information
The tank looked like a bullet casing and shell.
Yoo, next up, we want on either - StarShip, Heavy Booster ( landing ), Crew Dragon
There have been 5 spacex videos on the channel, one on starship was this year.
I think we should get another on an unmanned probe/rover mission.
@antonf.9278 Crew Dragon I guess 😅
21:10, UMBILICAL, not umbiblical. Why do you keep saying Umbiblical, or "em biblical" as the subtitles suggest?
41:19 Lip sync?
It seems the interview scenes lost audio sync around the 40 minute mark. The animated and slideshows dont appear to have lost sync... Its fairly distracting.
Can we get a video like the for the SpaceX starship super heavy?
I, again, now have a sudden urge to play Kerbal Space Program
@44:36 life support umbiblicals. Jesus aproves!
this time I saw this video in 1 hr after it is uploaded
We need a video on the insane engineering of cold war fighter jets
"Umbiblicals"
nice

So this is a compilation right? I swear I've heard this before. Odd that the audio is noticeably de-synced. I don't know if the the originals were like that, I don't rememeber.
Fairly certain it’s “umbilical” not “em biblical”
38:40 the same tech as in the blackbird?
how im litterly building the lego space shuttle i just wanted to watch a random vid
That's a fun build. Have mine sitting next to my record player
5:20 Which came first, the miniature solid rocket motor, or the miniature solid rocket motor?
That's easy, it's the miniature solid rock motor😂
Damn... just on the tram going to dinner...
Any prediction on when this will be up on nebula? As the link links nowhere, and the last upload currently is the f14 video
Sorry! I thought I had published it. Up now
@@RealEngineering just got the notification, thanks!
Bro? No 4K ?
im having Audio sync issues from 1/3 of this video
What is up with youtube and the ridiculous amount of ads the last few weeks? I swear it seems like every minute they play a stupid ad.
