Landing of a Space Shuttle Full HD!

a space shuttle lands

Sonic booms heard over Kennedy space center! What an engineering marvel the space shuttle was! Must have been something to experience space flight in the shuttle!

My favorite of the five of shuttles built. It was also the most successful, completing a total of 39 flights, 365 days in space, 5, 000 + orbits and journeyed roughly 148 million miles!

The most complicated flying machine ever built- Col. Chris Hadfield, What I learned going blind in space. Fascinating TED talk available on YouTube

One night back in the late 90's there was a night landing at Kennedy. The 'trail' from re-entry lit up the night sky like a beam from Heaven. I was living in a town between New Orleans and Baton Rouge then. What was mind boggling was by the time we heard the sonic boom from when the shuttle passed overhead, it was already on the ground at Kennedy in Florida.

Imagine like "STS go around" hahah

The shuttle was amazing. Miss it so much

I know this isn't what this video is about but I find the woman's voice really calming😴

Sweet dreams - Mighty Bird . We will never forget you.

While expensive and deadly the Shuttle is surely amazing. The fact this thing is even capable of gliding and landing like this is rather impressive.

[lukaszwodzynskiHNB]

Still one of the most incredible human inventions

[TheMarioMen]

My understanding is it doesn’t have a live engine?? So it’s essentially gliding all the way down to earth 😅

The pilot not only flew & landed one of the greatest spacecraft of all time, BUT ALSO BUTTERED IT!

This is and will always be best of 🇺🇸🇺🇸

[kennylangley]

One of America's great ambitions and design.😎👍👍✌️✌️

This video is recommended for me 11 years

Shuttles, the only spaceships with tires.

[TimpBizkit]

Surprisingly buttery landing for something that comes in faster than a wing suiter. It's also pretty noisy for no engine.

Nice people Nice achievements. Hearty Congratulations to all team members Kind Regards 👏

O vídeo é bem interessante e o mais incrível de tudo é que o ônibus e encoberto por uma camada de plasma que chega a1500 graus Celsius 100 graus a mais do que um dos maçaricos mais potentes do mundo e a parte branca do ônibus nem se quer queima, quer dizer se eu encostar um maçarico de acetileno na parte branca do ônibus não faz nenhum sinal, Parabéns pela qualidade da tinta, outro ponto extremamente interessante são motores de altíssima potência sendo filmado por traz não se vê sinal algum do ar se mexendo por caloria dos motores além disso com o motor ainda ligado o paraquedas fica sem sofrer problemas algum atrás daquele motores.
Realmente confesso que os caras tem talento.

I was focused on the drag chute the whole time!
