    You need a sound system with a lot of power and a great sub (turned up to house shaking level) to get the right effect of this video. I made this for all the people who dreamed of seeing a launch in person but were never able to make the trip themselves.
    Using dozens of different video sources and countless audio versions of Shuttle launches I mixed this little clip together to mimic as close an experience to the real thing as I could. I know that the exact sequence of countdown events is somewhat compressed and not time-accurate but I was going more for the 'feel' of a high energy launch experience rather than a technical documentary. Throttle Up and SRB Separation are sounds as might be heard from onboard acoustic transducers picking up resonant vibration in the vehicle's structure.
    Please take care not to damage your sound equipment during playback. I did not do anything to boost the low frequency roar of the Shuttle during liftoff but the SRB and SSME thrust noise may be taxing to even high quality sub-woofers and speaker cones if played too loud.
    For those who sit through the last few frames you can catch a glimpse of my home theater system I built a couple of years ago. This video really is best viewed at 165 inches or better!

      I grew up on Merritt Island, the island right next to Kennedy Space Center. I've seen probably 30 shuttle launches. It was always a pretty cool thing to see, but the novelty did sort of wear off eventually to the point where you'd be having a conversation and suddenly hear loud rumbling.

      The shuttle is probably the best looking space vehicle we've had so far, but in terms of capabilities and performance it definitely registered relatively low in both categories. The Falcon Heavy may not be as aesthetically pleasing as the shuttle but it's definitely a far more powerful and capable rocket. It actually has the possibility to continue human space exploration, whereas the space shuttle was never intended to go outside of low earth orbit

      it had a bit more than one minute to escape death zone. also its not that bad in the air than on the ground in the near vincinity of the launch pad ( or am i wrong here?). also dont underestimate the intuition animals have. 1 minute at 60km/h means it would be able to get 1km ( ~0,63ish miles) away from the launch pad. the question now would be: how safe would 1km be from launchpad? ^^

      The only thing impressive about SpaceX is that someone finally spent the money to do it. Thats it. They have not revolutionized anything. Not even the suicide burn return landings (which is what that maneuver is called in KSP which I am convinced the musky one or one of his devs ripped it off from). They did not have to create turbopumps from nothing, rocket engines, fuel containment, piping, control, feed systems.....They are standing on the shoulders of NASA, NACA, The US Navy......a number of German scientists, who, for political reasons, their involvement before America ran with developing the designs shall not be discussed in this post......Decades of research and development most of which was paid for by American tax dollars (which makes the research open to the public, literally anyone willing to dump the cash into the venture could have done the same thing, all that technology to get to space belongs to the public.....and most certainly was NOT dreamed up by some musky sycophants). Credit where credit is due, porting the suicide burn autopilot code from that KSP plugin to an actual rocket was impressive. And the landings are pretty neat once they got the bugs worked out and the PID loops tuned in (well, the ones before that were impressive too, but for other reasons ;) ). But there is nothing particularly groundbreaking about what SpaceX is doing other than burning cash to not have the tax payer foot the bill all the time.....the plans for the parts existed, they simply needed to adapt the dimensions to their uses. We already knew how to get to space by the time mr balding turtle face whos digital financial transaction business was scooped up by PayPal who subsequently fired him for incompetence came along to get everyone high on his farts.....I wish all that STEM funding wasnt such a waste and actually made people more scientifically literate instead of just a bunch of nerdcore cosplayers shouting "SCIENCE!" at every explosion they see. Maybe then there would have been more people who saw how incredibly reckless and dangerous the autonomous vehicle thing was, and known we discovered the problem is NOT computational, it is conceptual...we cannot program a digital computer to conceptualize a task like driving the way our analog brain does, thus the problem cannot be solved with more computation, and we figured this out through testing IN THE 80S!!!!! Computing hasnt changed! Its all still binary! Its gotten faster, cheaper, smaller, but it is still the exact same binary state machine operation it was since we moved away from the analog mechanical firing control computers we built for the last of the battleships....
      That steam blown off and rant out of the way.....
      OMG Shuttle taking off is so sexy, right?!!!! that whole lurch thing it does then fires the SRBs as it springs back vertical...freaking incredible!!! Did you know there have been times the pyro bolts did not fracture the nut holding the SRB to the pad......so the SRB just rips them out of the pad, with a fully loaded and fueled shuttle, and goes to space anyways.....Those candles mean BUSINESS once they're lit. If you havent watched the slowmo film video of the SMEs lighting and SRBs being released yet.......DO! IT! NOW!

    I’ve always had a love of sounds. Music, or sound design in general. While I get this isn’t sound design like that of movies and games, but I find something extremely satisfying about the powerful sound of the thrusters lifting off. This isn’t some beefed up muscle car or truck, this is something much, much larger. Something much more powerful.

Maybe only top officials of those know about them but play along to hide it. BECAUSE if they admit that they have reverse engineered crafts since like the 50's or 60's, they would also have to admit that they lied to the whole world population for half a century and also wasted hundreds of trillions on stone age technology like these rockets, just to keep the show of distraction running. Just my opinion and believes. Of course I can't prove it, who can? I can't walk into secret military bases to take a look, but I wish I could^^

      Dude, this machine of science proves that we can pretty much do anything. Even when it's cost is unreasonable.
      Heh, this video makes me tear up too. I think it's because I know I'll never get to ride like a bat out of hell into goddamn space myself.
      Or maybe It's because we as the american people have lost our own ability to do that. The government can't do it themselves, and while private companies can do it, they still have to ask permission. They have to ask permission to: "Can I just... Leave right now? I'm tired of this planet, I'm going somewhere else."

      marks4301
      I believe that the sparks light the main engines. I think that the engines start blasting vaporized fuel, and the sparks light it like a spark lighter lights a Bunsen burner. I am not sure what that vapor is, but it isn't smoke.

    NASA just amazes me. The fact that we are able to get a rocket off this earth, on the moon, and back safely, just fascinates me. I can't wait to see what kind of crazy inventions future generations come up with. I plan on making it possible to travel faster than light speed. I'm only 14, so I have no idea where to get started, lol.

    • @FinnDillow
      @FinnDillow Před 9 lety +3

      Yes, I can say the same. NASA plans on sending a manned mission to Mars somewhere around 2030. Of course it will take time to design the rocket and pack food, water, and of course, air.

    • @willoughbykrenzteinburg
      @willoughbykrenzteinburg Před 9 lety +25

      *****
      We HAVE been on Mars - just not with humans. The problem with taking humans to Mars is that we need to get them back home as well. This isn't much of a logistical nightmare for going to the moon because the moon is still within the Earth's sphere of influence, so getting back from the moon just requires enough fuel to escape the moon on a trajectory that intercepts Earth. The moon has no atmosphere and has the gravity 1/6th that of the Earth, so a pretty small sphere of influence. Once you leave that influence, you are pretty much already on a trajectory back to the Earth - and you only need to take enough fuel with you to do just that.
      With Mars, it is a completely different story. Mars is FAR outside Earth's sphere of influence, and is much much larger than the moon - and has an atmosphere, so the fuel required needs to lift another rocket off of Mars (with the fuel in tow), fight through the atmosphere just like on Earth - and ESCAPE Mars - - and then you're not done yet. You still need to burn even more fuel to get put on a trajectory that will get you back into Earth's sphere of influence.
      Basically, not only do you have to take enough fuel to get into Earth orbit and on a trajectory that escapes the Earth and intercepts Mars - but you also need to take enough fuel with you to do everything needed to get back home. And you need to get all that fuel off the Earth and into orbit as well. That's just an enormous payload and something we just don't have the technology to do. That's one reason many people have considered putting a fueling station and launch pad on the moon. We can make several trips setting that up, and when it comes time to launch for Mars, we can launch from the moon.
      We are still a long way away from this. In fact, there ARE currently civilian agencies with plans to land humans on Mars in the relatively near future. The only drawback? There is no plan to bring them back home. Whoever is selected for this mission will accept such mission with the understanding that they will never be coming back home. They will live on Mars for the rest of their life. This is how one company has 'solved' the fuel issue.
      Considering all of this, there is absolutely no reason to be surprised that we have not put a man on Mars yet.

      Glad you liked my Space Shuttle launch video Finn. Really cool that you are interested in science and the space program as well. The Kerbal space sim is cool but be sure to also check out the other free space sim called 'Orbiter'. It's a bit tougher but it's my favorite. We need bright people of your generation like you to take science and space exploration to the next level. We're all in this together!
