This looks promising; please check your volume balancing before uploading. The narration is too soft relative to the music and sound FX.

[@TexasNorthDFW]

This isn't about HOW they built the shuttles. I also agree with the other comments about the sound mixing being off.

[@milkyo1206]

Great video but narrator need to be louder

[@karistab3756]

A good, informational video, but miss titled; this isn’t so much about HOW they were built, but WHY…

[@annmariekaye7157]

The space shuttle is beautiful in how it looks and how it as beautiful for what it's done ✔️ 😍 x

[@darylallen8946]

I’m listening with beats.
No complaints.

[@charlesarnold4963]

The title of this video is incorrect. The video does NOT describe how the Space Shuttle was built, but tells what was achieved using the Space Shuttle.

[@bxpress6507]

I agree..the title is why I came here..expecting to see pictures or video of the actual construction of the shuttle itself

[@ilivehere8991]

The music on this video killed it. Hard to hear the talking.

[@JohnSmith-eu3ql]

And the question still remains!

[@DestroyerWill]

Ditch the over the top sound effects

[@diddlethepoodle4812]

So what about how they built it?

[@fanthonyfictions]

I wonder if they could potentially fund further research by hosting a lottery.
The winner gets to board the shuttle and visit ISS.
In the baby carrier, far from any buttons.

[@MrSlim1959]

This video had nothing to do about how the shuttle was built.

[@hugonunez5451]

Gracias..!👍😎

I had to watch with captions because Yoh voice is too low

[@michael_leclezio]

Note on the video production: voice needs to come out more, and music to be less dominant, so much softer. It really detracts from the viewing experience. Ending up not watching the whole thing, despite good content.

[@garydalrymple7308]

Yep. I agree about the volume and balance issues but, since the comments are from 8 months ago and it still has bad sound, that proves the poster doesn’t pay attention or care what’s said in the comments so I won’t be subscribing and giving a thumbs down.

[@Nessy..]

quite a bad sound could not watch

[@beefsuprem0241]

The music is way too loud on this, can barely hear the narrator 👎

[@TimeisReel]

Your voice is too low, and your background is too loud. I had to stop watching..

[@dougiequick1]

No one has built a REAL space shuttle yet period ....what we did was NEVER a true shuttle anymore than having horses pull an engineless car up a hill and then let it coast back down ....well okay maybe it has a little motor to help the horses but it changes nothing until it can actually do it all with no help I just read the British might have it figured out soon? A jet engine that turns to a rocket finally solving the problem. A REAL shuttle has to on its OWN take off make it to orbit, land and then refuel and do it again...THAT would be a real space shuttle
