    ADDITIONAL INFO:
    1. The cause of the Challenger Shuttle disaster was the failure of the primary and secondary redundant O-ring seals in a joint in the shuttle's right solid rocket booster. The extremely low temperatures on the morning of the launch had stiffened the rubber O-rings, reducing their ability to seal the joints. Also, even though test data revealed potentially disastrous flaws in the O-Rings of the SRBs, the issue was never addressed. Furthermore NASA managers ignored warnings from engineers, about launching in such cold weather conditions.
    2. As depicted at 2:10 the orbiter was also able to dock with the Russian space station Mir.

    On the first few missions, the shuttle carried seats from jets instead of the normal seats because they had ejection capability. This would have allowed the only two person crew during the early test flights to eject. Not that it would have done much but its something. Remidns me of the gemini ejection seats.

  • @mister2fun
    @mister2fun Před rokem +1

    The starship by spacex is better because:
    Reusability: The Starship was designed from the ground up to be a fully reusable starship. In contrast, the Space Shuttles were only partially reusable, resulting in significant maintenance and operational costs.
    Larger Payload Capacity: The Starship has a much larger payload capacity than the Space Shuttle. It can carry up to 100 tons of payload into orbit, making it one of the most capable spacecraft around. The Space Shuttle could only carry about 27 tons into orbit.
    Versatility: The Starship is more versatile than the Space Shuttle. Not only can it carry payloads into orbit, but it can also be used for lunar and martian missions as well as interplanetary travel. It can also be used as a space station or cargo ship.
    Cost Efficiency: SpaceX is committed to making space travel more cost-efficient, and the Starship plays a key role in that. Its reusability and ability to carry large payloads should significantly reduce the cost per kilogram to orbit.
    Rugged Construction: The Starship is constructed of stainless steel, making it more durable and less prone to heat damage seen on the Space Shuttle. This enables longer operating times and better maintainability.
    Easy Access to Space: The Starship is better suited to provide inexpensive and regular access to space due to its high reusability and scheduled frequent launches. This could revolutionize the space industry.
    Autonomous Landing and Reuse: The Starship is capable of autonomous landing and reuse on various planets and celestial bodies, making it extremely useful for future manned missions to the Moon, Mars and beyond.
    High cruising speed: The Starship is said to be able to achieve high cruising speeds, which could significantly reduce the travel time to other planets. The Space Shuttle didn't reach nearly the same speeds.
    Sustainability: The Starship is designed to run on liquid methane and oxygen as fuel, which could allow future use of resources on other celestial bodies.
    It's also the fattest rocket mankind has ever built! 💥

    I’d say the Space Shuttle was really cool, except for when it was re-entering the Earth’s atmosphere. That’s why the nose, underbelly and leading edges of the wings needed heat resistant carbon-carbon panels. You know, so it didn’t burn up or anything, like what happened to Columbia.

      The Space Shuttle is the only vehicle to have had the technical capability of bringing an enemy space station back to earth. Salyut 7 was in orbit during the shuttle program and fit inside the shuttle payload bay. Shuttle also was capable of bringing soviet polar satellites back from a polar orbit, although polar launches were cancelled after challenger because there was no need to launch military payloads into polar orbit, as commercial launches were cancelled and shuttle was no longer planned to launch ALL military payloads. One extremely cool event was the fit test at vandenberg for the shuttle. There's pictures of an entire (mockup) space shuttle stack rolled out on a shuttle pad.
