I was fortunate to work and fly with Rick Searfoss, who flew Columbia twice and fifty other rocket flights, including six with lucky me in the right seat. He was just as cool and calm as this team.
Thank you for your service. I'm sorry for the loss of your friends. You all make me proud to be an American even more than I was from the start. Thank you Sir.
@@pj7362 Oh, I never was an astronaut, just flight crew on a rocket plane (on which we hoped to make a profit). Rick was the hero, I was just along for the ride, and to keep a wary eye on the engine instruments :)
@@r0cketplumber ahh I understand. Still a pretty cool individual in my book. I am sorry for your loss though. It is a loss to our nation. Stay cool .
Rocket plumber......you’re still a hero
@@k9cop18 most definitely
The pilot has such a cool and calm presence. These teams are so on another level. ✊❤️🇺🇸🥇
Thank you, Columbia. You did well. You will always be remembered, with your crew and Challenger's. :'(
I was living in Titusville and my apartment was so directly across from the Assembly building, I literally saw it out of my front window ( I was across A1 and nothing in front of us ) during the 97-99 era. I have watched day launches, night launches,,.... I was living there and saw John Glenn return to space and he came back in to Kennedy on my birthday that year. Nothing can ever prepare you for seeing a launch in person. It's an experience everyone should have. (FYI the night launches? It gets so bright you can literally start reading the newspaper in what was pitch black dark )

You're absolutely right but I would love to try must be in awesome and thrilling thing to do
On the STS-107, the command center was saying that the ship was automatically trying to correct the rolls and adjust the thrusters to fight the violent uncontrollable maneuvers caused by the effects of the damaged wing upon re-entry.
She fought for the crew till the very end.
That was a great ship.
When he said "Columbia youre such a good vehicle" i cried man.
OMG its ONLY a set ov Komputer Codés that All lol
Amen! I got to watch her on her maiden flt back in 81 -84 as my dad worked for NASA. She was simply beautiful! Her and Challenger.. 🙏
Yes it was.
@@arcosprey4811 I KNOW DUDE, GOD WHY DID IT HAVE TO BE HER
My grandparents took me to this launch in Florida when I was visiting because I begged them. We got tickets, drove 3 hours and waited another 6 for the launch but It was worth it! It was breathtaking in person.
In person? You mean you actually met Columbia? Sorry, couldn't help myself - I'm a grammar/vocab nazi.
"I can't believe that I'm here. I'm in space" and "what an amazing vehicle; Columbia you're a good spaceship.. It likes it when you scratch it right under here.. good boy". I can hear the childlike awe in his voice. And just like that, he'll never be the same again, just like those who went before him, are with him, and who followed him. I have so much respect, admiration, and awe for every NASA astronaut and astronauts around the world who paved the way for humanity to follow, and I pray for those and their loved ones who made the ultimate sacrifice for the advancement and evolution of mankind. 🙏
I watch this vid about every 6 months it seems. More suspense than any TV show
It's amazing (around the 5:00 min. mark) that you're high enough so that all the sound slowly starts to fade away, as you enter the vacuum of space, where there is no sound. The main engines go silent, even though they're burning a swimming pool's load of propellant every two seconds! Mind-blowing!
Slightly unnerving when ground control say 'negative return'.....say what ! Just noticed your pic jonesy....F-111 fan ?....Lakenheath ?
They are so casual. They make it look like they are on a Sunday drive.
They are likely ex military and have gone over this process over and over and over
That's the fastest "Sunday drive" anyone has ever been on.
They can hardly get up and start pacing around
Can you imagine how awesome it would be to launch in the shuttle? Man oh man it would have been a thrill like no other. Wish they still flew the shuttle
I've got to say, as awesome as it is watching Spacex and Rocket lab's craft take off there's still nothing in my mind like watching the shuttle and those enormous boosters launching off - what a sight 🥰♥️
@Alex Hier 100% agree
It's crazy just how violent it is as first and then it quickly becomes just so quiet and peaceful
The solids were just awful, 57 gees RMS. Imagine taking a coal cart down a washboarded dirt road...
Yeah we have SpaceX now. Stay in your fancy seat and let the computer fly you. So not as sexy as the old shuttle. Even the commander/pilot not as hot. So glad I was able to see a great era. The REAL ship.
When they scratched Columbia and said "Good boy", oh man...that hurts a little.
That's about 18 minutes in for those who want to skip around. Columbia was a good ship. I remember one writer commenting on how hard she tried to bring her crew home after STS-107 . . .
I still have 2 tickets for the challanger.
I Know He Scratched right on the "Chin Panel" Of the Instrument unit. NO LIE! That's what it's called
This is at 17:41
Right before reentry!
"What an amazing vehicle. Columbia, you're a good spaceship."
Columbia: *blushes in spacecraft*
I got really sad when I thought about the windows and panels watching the video. Those window panels were recovered and are now on display at the shuttle Atlantis display at the Kennedy space center. They have them as a memorial along with the “America flag” shuttle challenger wreckage part of the fuselage. Had a hard time explaining what a memorial was for my daughters when we visited in 2018. Very heart felt memorial for those brave souls.
Scott Kelly has said that re entering in the space shuttle felt like taking a Cadillac on a cruise down a smooth LA street, while the Soyuz felt like sitting in a Russian beater car and driving it off a cliff.
Interesting- I've heard the shuttle was like trying to fly a bathtub, it was so unarodynamic.
@@sammarks9146 perhaps on landing... however on re entry it was smooth. Yes the shuttle had the worst glide ratio of any glider but idk if you watch a shuttle landing it's a lot more smooth than watching a Soyuz slam into the ground at 20 mph
The Soyus is still flying though. The Toyota pickup of space crafts
@@jacobjorgenson9285 nah more like the corolla from 1968. Sorta epic. Has a lot of epic history, but it's old, cramped, and expensive to keep running. Starliner would be your run of the mill Ford truck. It looks good. It's made in America, but it won't get to it's destination all the time.
@@TNTHammer it keeps going while the space shuttle is toast
I've seen the launch sequence of this many times and never get over how the sound of the vehicle moving through the atmosphere right after launch grows to a howl, and then fades away as they ascent continues....
I just love the raw power.
As the vehicle goes supersonic a shockwave builds up infront of the nose.
Bull
@@uncleteam
Bull What??
On re-entry you can see when gravity starts becoming noticeable. The white cord by one of the astronauts was wiggly and then slowly lost its wiggle! Damn that must be an unimaginably cool experience to do what these people are doing! Super cool!!!
I always wondered what took them so long to come out of the orbiter after the landing - now I know, it was due to a checklist as long as the runway. 😁
thx for the upload, learned something new... every day is a school day.
These are indeed my heroes. I say this with welled eyes. Thank you to all the astronauts and their families of every mission. Thank you for your service . May God comfort you and ease your sorrows.
At 10:43 you can hear the sound of Velcro getting torn off the wall and the checklist hitting the floor as the vehicle approaches 3-g's. Quite cool.
@Kaizaro123 Watch any video from something like the iss and you will see almost every mid to small size item attached with velcro to the walls etec
@Kaizaro123 Okey
@Kaizaro123 the interior walls of the cabin are not the fuselage, they are walls.
Kaizaro123 fuselage means the structure that wraps the plane.

Ya'll shut your fookin mouth...
Particularly neat how you can see the seat backs slowly get pushed further and further back under the G-load from about 5:00 to about 12:00, then suddenly return once the thrust drops off.
So sad Space Shuttle was put to rest. God Bless all the Astronauts sacrifice. Excellent Program. Thank you❤❤❤
I love the line "This is gonna start with the shake of your life."
plasma. ..crazy stuff, I have a plasma cutter in my garage and it instantly liquifies the steel plate up to half an inch and 100 psi of compressed air blows away the melted metal. .cuts like a Lazer beam clean and sharp much faster than an acetal in oxygen torch. ..these guys are flying thru/creating that environment..Goes to show how important the carbon carbon tiles are
Tiles are made of sand...
The white and black tiles yes, but the wing edges are made of panel of reinforced Carbon-Carbon
***** Yes, just distinguishing the difference in your comment saying carbon carbon tiles.
great view of the back of the helmets.
I think he said, 'man that helmets heavy'
that must be an odd feeling after wearing
it in 0 G.
Everything feels heavy when gee comes back.
I wasn't around during the time of the Awesome Space Shuttle Orbiter Challenger OV-99 and her STS-51L Crew but I grew up knowing about it but I'll never forget Space Shuttle Orbiter Columbia OV-102 and her STS-107 crew! I cried like a baby when I saw that! I also cried at Kennedy Space Center when I saw the Challenger and Columbia wreckage along with the crew's personal belongings! That place means a lot to me as well as the shuttles too! When we lost them, to me it wasn't just 14 lives it was 16 because I count the Challenger and Columbia as well, they died with their crews!! God bless them all!
Fantastic landing sequence. The greatest flying machine of all time and forever more, too. It is sad that it is over. I love seeing highly qualified people doing great things. Let's go back to the moon. Let's go somewhere, and soon.
+dks13827 Do you know how this fantastic machines windows are protected from heat?
+Don Jin Yes. It is obviously a special window glass material. During reentry the shuttle is coming in belly first somewhat so that the windows are not getting the extreme heat as the belly, leading edges, and nose cap are. Belly first.
Amazing steering capabilities at reentering speed,heat,pressure,friction . Now its clear why Santa Claus has big belly. Belly first-later presents.
agreed!
fantastic, but NOT the greatest manned flying machine of all time ... that would be APOLLO .. it was the MOST powerful vehicle ever built, and still holds the World Relative Speed record of 24,791 mph, and flew the farthest from Earth at 248,655 miles.
While the Shuttle was an impressive, machine .. it's basic concept was flawed ... it's re-usability never came close to saving money, in fact cost MUCH more per launch than any other vehicle. Also, it had the worst safety record per launch of any vehicle, killing a total of 14 astronauts in flight. Lastly, the costs were so exorbitant, that the US continued to dump a large portion of the Space budget into the Shuttle for far TOO many years ... if the Shuttles had been retired earlier, we could have pursued much more cost effective vehicles and accomplished much more in Space. So, be glad these monstrous Shuttles are retired ... the Space Launch System is coming soon!!! .. time for some beyond Low Earth Orbit human space exploration, yippie!!
“Columbia, you’re a good spaceship. It likes it when you scratch it righhht here.” such a cute thing to say
As many crews as an aircraft (or spacecraft in this case) might have, each one develops their own “relationship” with the vehicle. I’d imagine it’s hard not to when this mechanical device is entirely responsible for getting you home in one piece; probably takes on a “soul” of its own.
That mechanical whirring you hear shortly after, it's like she's saying "Why, thank you!".
From the Titanic to this in 65 years!!!!
What WE can do is amazing!!!!
69 years actually. Far more impressive is Titanic to walking on the moon - 57 years.
Your videos are really excellent. Love that there’s no music - just the sound of Columbia.
50:27 “I should have stopped sooner, it was deceling so good tho.” “ your good mike you did a good job” “greased it on tho 😂 I strive to be that perfect of a pilot never settle for anything but the best
yup I never stop beating myself up, for gosh sakes the guy landed a space shuttle i hope he knows he has every right to call himself an amazing pilot
AMEN!
that was intense without any music or anything. holy hell
Haha "Whoever is VOXing." I love that there's always someone not fucking using push to talk.
its pushed, and pusched, and pushed...8 minutes long...awesome...astronaut`s or not...the stress vor humen is amazing
"Columbia is a good space ship. It likes it when you scratch it right underneath here. Good boy........Goooood boy...." I loved that line. Also, did that guy just burp at 18:23? 🤣
Wow, the length of time that thing glows during re-entry; amazing!
Nice to hear that astronauts can have fear too. "I have been here many times" (heavy breathing intensifies).
Talking about flying, there's nothing ever topping this, and your first solo at flight school.
Scared me when I saw this was Columbia which perished on re-entry later after wing breached at launch. This launch obviously successful. Freaky that they mention the cities they see in Texas over which the later flight broke up. Fascinating description of plasma.
That was a superb spaceship.. to bad we lost her. God bless the crew.
Mark Viereck. Bad design. Rockets in Iraq work better.
@@uncleteam liar it's good design for kids who want to be a astronaut sadly it ended but some in museum
@@unknown-x6j its was seriously seriously flawed vehicle, the whole sts system in general was, particularly the solid fuel boosters and the insulation on the fuel tank
@@LogieT2K :l
So why didn't they use the back technology captured 👽craft from Roswell 💫👍🤔
Greatest Flying machine!!!! Up, then down, flying. The orbiter itself worked great, every time.
Awesome.
Sad that the footage of "This" orbital was destroyed upon re- entry. I was on a business trip just south of Kansas City that sunny morning. I pulled off the highway to watch what was left of the craft blazing a trail across the sky.
I was in tears.
Tanner Phoenix 😭😭😭
yepit was "destroyed" all the footage
51:53 Using my grandma's "pickup stick" to hit the buttons on the ceiling lol
that was tense .so much work to do there and back .pilot was a champ.a plus buddy.
Matthew Crews so we are going to make huge steps in technology by time jumping but we are gonna go back to video taping??? Jk jk. I know what you mean 😂
I always say that NOTHING will ever be as cool as the Space Shuttle.
wow..proud of him.. so cool to be a spaceship pilot..
Smoother than a Ryanair landing.
They should make a full blown Digital Combat Simulator grade simulator of this.. Full clickable cockpit and all. Including the possibility of getting in and out of the shuttle so you can roam arround in the spacestation or ground. Dreams dreams.. Plus this won't be something you have mastered in a couple of days I think..
+spacedigger Space Shuttle Mission, there you go.
+spacedigger The free software ORBITER does allow you to fly the Shuttles, and some (but not all) of the switches in the cockpit are operational. Most of the commands are handled though the keyboard and joystick however.
+Oscar diaz, ORBITER allows you to fly other spacecraft (real and fictional), including add-ons like the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo spacecraft. They also include the ability to fly not only to the moon, but to the planets as well. X-Plane only has the shuttle.
+spacedigger Star Citizen.
Magicks
Woaw, since when Star Citizen is a simulator and since when it has space shuttle in it.
12:36 In every damn plane there is a crying baby
i heard that wtheck?
it was kicking his seat the whole way to space
Wtf
Sounded clear too must be a audio clip that was added in or something it sounded to clear tbh
ig: Boosted_Crew_ I suspect interference when uploading
What a rush being on that thing going up. I'd probably freak out but still hearing it accelerate and bouncing around like that had to be one hell of a thrill. I tell my friends and family it would be like going faster and faster up a hill for over 8 minutes with the pedal to the metal. Even that doesn't do it justice.
All the astronauts I worked with said there is nothing comparable. The shuttle is going OVER 100 MPH by the time it clears the launch pad. It hit Mach 1 (going straight up) in 45 seconds. The SRBs were designed to reduce thrust (and the SSMEs were throttled down to 65%) when the shuttle was going through its maximum dynamic pressure. Once the vehicle passed through the thicker lower atmosphere, the shuttle throttle its engines back up to 104%. It was the ride of a lifetime!
30:28...."Thousand miles from home". Then they mention being over Texas. Around the same time that Columbia started its breakup in 2003. Eerie.
The level of communication between the crew is awesome.
Jeff R You are so clever.
Gives me butterflies just watching it.
That would be one hell of an adrenaline rush but at the same time your please god don't let anything go wrong!!!
For those moon landing deniers, and in particular the questions about the rocket motor noise during the landing on the moon.
We don't hear the much more powerful rocket motors very loud in this launch for the same reason (even though there is air around the shuttle for sound to travel through) and the reason is the microphones are inside the helmet, and don't forget there is no air on the moon to transmit sound.
The minuscule amount you do hear is the craft vibrating, which, in turn, vibrated the air inside. The air then slightly vibrates the mic. But by that time, and because the audio quality was bad, you couldn't hear it.
Exceptional performance. Eceptional machninery. Yet dropping a pod at a chute is just much easier with less possible complications than gliding a huge "plane" to the ground and having a pro pilot do the one-chance landing. I see why rockets are the future.
Qr2 5. 5 5 fff 5. 55 fff 5 5. 5
Pilot sees the fireball he's at the helm of. "Oh that is awesome."
WARNING: People who hold the Shuttle program at a sacred level as myself, beware. Beware of the ignorance that you will read in the comments section below. Some of it will make you cringe.
Although I don't hold STS on a sacred level (Apollo and Gemini are more sacred to me) - thanks for the warning. Get them on every vid about spaceflight these days.
I love how obvious max-Q is by how it gets louder and quieter
NASA needs to install dashcams on these things; can't see shit!
NASA needs to being back the Space Shuttle Program! :( All finished and decommissioned as of 2011. :(
there are videos taken looking straight ahead. I just watched one. Just do a search.
or gopros
Shuttles have been done since 2011 :( I was always intrigued by the shuttle but I would not want to take one up honestly. Columbia, Challenger absolutely tragic. I would be much more comfortable in a Soyuz. In all honesty I would probably even prefer Apollo over the shuttle. Maybe just maybe even the Gemini.
not much to see from the dash, some blue sky, then darkness.
Mach 16 like it ain’t a thing. What absolute studs!
17:42 Re-entry
THANK YOU OMFG
What was that whirring sound?
A bit funny when they mentioned they noticed a lot more stuff flying around than on their earlier missions. Not sure if they had flown Columbia before, but Columbia still had a ton of gypsum powder inside of it from its STS-3 landing in White Sands, NM. Shortly after the landing there was a large sand storm. Even though they buttoned up Columbia, gypsum powder got everywhere. Even up until its last mission, over 20 years after STS-3, they still had gypsum powder that would work its way out. They even found traces of gypsum on the wreckage after STS-107.
This looks way more calm and I would’ve imagined
This is actually Space Shuttle Columbia, but this is not mission STS-107.
You might think it is STS-107 at first when you clicked on this video, but it's not actually STS-107. It's actually STS-65.
Interesting how smooth it became upon separation of the two boosters. The jostling stopped completely.
I could watch 100 hours of this
Love hearing the wind noise early in the launch!
10:45 in. the convo about the checklist that freed itself from its velcro...
"Just a checklist. It's tethered. Well it was tethered."
I cracked up.
God yes 😂😂😂😂
This is not STS-56, which was flown on the Discovery. This is probably STS-65 on the Columbia, and in addition there are several crewmembers sitting on the middeck, whereas on STS-56 just one crewmember sat there. In any case, a great upload! Thanks.
Actually says on the caption at the beginning that it's 65
I want to see a monitor with their heart rates matched up to this video.
Kyle Breedlove beep... beep... beep... *launching* beepbeepbeepbeepbeep
🤨
Exactly cuz I still don’t buy this bs
The co-pilot at the after landing even mentions he's feeling a little dizzy, that primate brain got put through quite a stress test.
Probably same as ours at rest. These guys are as cool as cucumbers
I imagine the fresh air must smell amazing when returning.
The coolest thing is how you can hear it accelerating from the inside.
kudos to the pilot...great landing!! i would be cheering if it was an airplane!!!
Was nice to see the inside of a launch.. and landing. awesome... I have always wanted to go up in one of those.. has been a dream of mine.. Hmm thought there would of been more shaking during liftoff.. guess that is Hollywood for ya
31:18 I'm glad even in real life someone said "It's not like the sim"
Siempre he admirado y maravillado todos estos vuelos desde el Apollo 11. Gracias, por presentarlos.
I was surprised at how little movement there was during reentry.
I would have thought it would be shaking like crazy.
That's what Hollywood does to us lol
Its actually quite shaky if you look at 45:50
On initial reentry the vehicle skims the atmosphere as opposed to "plunges" into the atmosphere like the Soyuz. The most movement comes from the brief supersonic flight at about 45,000 feet and of course any turbulence right before landing.
Imagine a camera fixed to the wall in an airplane cabin during turbulence. It would go up and down with the plane.
After the SRBs separated (solids burn very unevenly, so that was responsible for most of the vibration), the shuttle was Rolls Royce smooth.
the part when he said Columbia was a great space ship. RIP
And that mechanical whirring afterwards that sounds like affectionate purring
MY HEART
@@teddyobrien4801 what is that whirring anyway
wow, that was great. I can't belive how smooth the ride into and out of space was. I figured you would get shaken into pieces. Too bad they quit the shuttle program.
Yeah, but Bro It costed so much Money "only" to do a 15 day mission
The 2008 financial bailout was more that the ENTIRE NASA budget up to that point in history.
When a nations interests turn inwards time is almost up
I'm really amazed by how quiet everything is during the re-entry phase. It seems like there would be some noise just from the flow around and over the spaceframe. But I'm guessing, even that is supersonic and so, silent.
Agreed, im still having a hard time accepting that everything is so silent. I was expecting a very noisy environnement
So glad the cleaner finished hoovering the shuttle ready for take before take off occured... phew!
HAHA what I was thinking 😂 hey what's my mum doing finishing up the hoovering before take off😂😂😂
Those are the best teams of the space shuttle. and it's nice to hear and see that the commander and pilot making jokes 😂 ILMAO and they have a good sense of humor so that makes the mission even better. About this machine this space shuttle is an enormous technological piece of engineering. I can't imagine how this thing is built and how people and engineers have figured and tested this all out and it worked as a dream but it is the most complicated machine that is ever built. The tiles are the most important protection of the craft and the most fragile. They engineers said that after a long time of service the lifespan of the Shuttle comes to an end because all that vibration after each launch and re entry causes weaknesses in the airframe of the Shuttle. Eventually was the Colombia the first shuttle and the oldest as a result in combination with the damaged leading edge and missing tiles as well as the airframe that was in bad condition Colombia fall apart on reentry😢. It was to risky to go on with the shuttle program so program was canceled
52:30 nice Burp 👍🏼🤣
It was a fart!!!!!
And at 18:24
wow, the most work done is shutting the thing down!!!!
She flew 28 missions. Almost 9 years later to the day she flew her last:-(
It is all like from Alien movie. I mean sounds in background, video quality and radio communication is like 1979 :-)
My favorite movie!
Quite a bang when the solids separate
Probably my favorite video PERIOD. SO COOL
Not your typical cartrip with friends :-)
If GoPros were existing in those days! Head mount video would of looked really nice
The Space Shuttle: the only winged vehicle to fly in space and come back in one piece. Respect.
Space only exists in the minds of sheeple there is literally no evidences of space
@@dayzwarrior.4452 Are you trying to be funny? Not being sarcastic, I actually want to know...because, you know, Poe's law...
@@fubaralakbar6800 not sarcastic at all.
What about X-15 and X-37B? Buran is also a thing, but it was one-timer.
@@caav56 You are correct about the Buran, my mistake. I always thought that was just a concept build that never flew.
The X-15 didn't quite go to space. It did Mach 6 at just over 100,000 feet, but for space flight purposes it didn't even go suborbital.
The X-37 is a fair point, but with those stubby little wings and the fact that it's launched as a rocket payload, it doesn't seem very different from a Gemini capsule.
I'm a little surprised you didn't bring up Spaceship One. Can't believe I forgot about that one--I was so proud to be an American when I heard of it!
12:34 You can here the baby in the back of the shuttle celebrating.. 🤣🚀👶
That SRB sep @ 5:34 lights up the whole cabin!
0:39, ahh finally mom stops vaccuming the cockpit. X-)
we're all so proud of you guys and girls!!!!
What a wonderful machine the space shuttle,I have always been fascinated with space travel,ever since we landed on the moon,I was 11 years old
