    Probably the single coolest thing ever made. Anyone who has ever played a spaceflight simulator knows how hard reentry can be, yet this thing was the size of an airliner, managed to launch, reenter, and then precisely land on a runway despite starting on the other side of the world - all without ANY power. Incredible

      It’s absurd to think about how basically everything has to go perfectly in such a complex machine full of things that can go wrong for a mission to succeed. And despite the issues there were only two catastrophic failures and sadly they were preventable.

You do realize that the ISS would probably never existed without the space shuttle, also NASA isn’t really the type of organization that can bring the costs down, same thing is happening with the SLS. Also 135 missions with only 2 failures is something unique tbh, also spaceX is working on the starship that is 10 times more capable than the space shuttle. Also wdym a “space plane that cannot land on other planets” do you even know what the purposes of spaceplanes are? Plus the Apollo program is extremely useless right now considering that the space race is over and going to the moon would be a huge waste of time, and finally the purpose of the space shuttle is to deliver large satellites, space station modules and other heavy payloads into space.

As an adult now, I'm just shocked that even after witnessing Columbia and Challenger, he's still got this true optimism for space travel and furthering our understanding of the universe outside of ourselves. We'll sometimes go outside and just look at stars and nebulas and galaxies we can see from earth. After moving out a while ago, sometimes I still just look up at the stars and want to talk for hours about them with him. These videos just make me really nostalgic for when I was a little kid and we'd look at space equipment in the Dayton Air Force Museum.

    I always loved how this amazing machine landed every single time and ut's one if the things that I miss so much. I'm so grateful to live at the same time for watching 'em lifting and landing.
    New shuttles are on their way to be made come true in the future.
    Thank you so much for uploading this video. 😉 😀

      Bad design concept. these things were too big. think about this for a sec. Apollo was 11 minutes from deorbit burn to touchdown. this thing was over an hour. What's that mean? Well its in the big heat for a LOT longer, that's what. Why? too big. It was also riskier at the other end than Apollo because Apollo's fuel was contained within the envelope this guy had almost all its fuel OUTSIDE of containment. We're gonna lose a lotta people in the future, folks.

      If you're talking about spacx landing they're boosters, they're not solid fuel rockets. They use liquid propellant. :)

      It wasn’t just the deorbit burn. When the orbiter was coming down, the flight control computer would make adjustments so that it would reach the destination field at the right height.

      You might want to google however 'Lunar Reconnaissance Orbital Camera', which WILL show you pictures of each of the Apollo landing sites, taken from lunar orbit.
