Leave it to NASA to figure out how to make a video camera stable at 2,900 mph....most Break videographers cant hold their iPhones steady while standing still!!

and... this was for?
Dan-Cavin-997 - a year ago
Guess I'm a science geek if I notice that the video skips from 10 seconds before max-Q, to 10 seconds after max-Q? (51 seconds to 71 seconds) Then.... to look at 73 seconds and say goodbye to Challenger....

i miss watching the shuttle launches from my house

@4sniper754 i miss watching the houses from my shuttle.

Missed the entire video because I was fixated on the speed readout.

well, another boring American video with a repeat of about 7 times in the middle. well done
@Jayteey Don't talk rubbish, I'm not American and don't agree with everything they do but that is awesome. America wins at space flight.

i tho in space there is no sound...
YouPPLMakeMeSick - a year ago
@boom232332 If you bring your own air there is.
Eric-Dalrymple-755 - a year ago
Why is there sound... once the boosters are in orbit... how can there be sound in a vacuum?
Nelo_Angelo - a year ago
@Eric-Dalrymple-755 The sounds you are hearing are probably vibrations within the structure of the booster which the camera will be bolted to, if you were in space, wearing a suit and someone tapped on your helmet, you would still hear it because of the air that is within the suit, the camera was clearly housed within a protective unit that would lilkely be sealed to keep air inside of it. I'm not certain that many cameras could function too well in the freeze of a vacuum.
Deadbird17 - a year ago
@Eric-Dalrymple-755 Sound can still be heard in solid objects. If you tap, or cause vibration on one end of the booster, and the camera/mic are attached to the other end, it will pick it up. If the mic wasn't attached, you wouldn't hear anything at all.

If I had that to go clubbing I could finally pick up girls, lolz.

Uh maybe I am the only one that noticed this, the number at the top right is not measuring velocity its measuring altitude...also to back myself up "a Space Shuttle must reach speeds of about 17,500 miles per hour to remain in orbit" (NASA.gov)
@Jimbobm123 Yea, to remain in orbit. No to break free of the atmosphere and enter orbit, the boosters only get it into space. The shuttle rockets carry it further and faster, which is why the fuel tank (the big orange thing) stays on for longer. The number in the upper right was measuring speed. Hence "mph"...
coachksuxdeznuts - a year ago
@ It was measuring the speed of the boosters you idiot. After they detached, the shuttle kept going. It also visually broke the sound barrier at the speed of sound in mph. Just curious, what unit of measurement did you think that was?
@Jimbobm123 The boosters only bring it about halfway into orbit. The External Fuel Tank and main engines bring it the rest of the way.
@Jimbobm123 One number is MPH... the other is the time reference for that particular camera.....

Is that tiles falling off? Shoddy workmanship...

@ ice you idiot
tezfair - a year ago
When I watched this the first time a few years ago it didn't have the numbers on. They have been added so im guessing its hypothetical
mattIam - a year ago
Anyone else expecting the speed to slow right down before accelerating downwards?
@mattIam No, because they weren't shot straight up. They are still traveling laterally as their ascent stops and their descent begins. Think baseball.... instead of thinking of a pop fly... this is more like a long arc over the left field wall....

fatsausagepizza Wht da fk all yo can say is nice? what does that mean? you are a stupid blond? because that z all they say
enforced - a year ago
I am surprised that falling from such a height at such a velocity that both boosters end up hitting the water within yards and seconds of each other.
@enforced NASA is good at what they do.
@enforced Why? They were released at the same altitude.... in the same direction... with the same inertia..... This isn't just throwing to items up in random directions... think more like... throwing two darts at the same time....

freaky seeing some of the heat tiles fly off at the beginning.
@Boardbug freakier still the fact that they are not heat tiles but sheets of ice.
Samuel-Peters-458 - a year ago
This was interesting because I am just saying it is well planned why the shuttle takes off from Cape Canaveral! I guess those boosters always land in the ocean somewhere. Can you imagine if one of those Boosters accidentally crashed into an cruise liner or some cargo ship out there by freak coincidence! Not a good look! lol

@Samuel-Peters-458 they've thought of that. the splasdown area does not contain cruise ships

um , this visor fling fails.. that wasn't 400 seconds.. it wad 401 ;D

pretty cool to watch something break the sound barrier that close

shouldn't that be in knots or something?

That was cool! so the sound was fake? I didn't understand thart part.
