Man, the space shuttle was a masterpiece I stil don't know how people can called it a failure. To me, this was one of the most amazing things the humans had ever built. A lot of things were learned with this orbiter. The accidents were sad and I wish they didn't occur but everyone who was involved in this project are legends.
Because it failed at it's intended goals, which was to make a cheap and reliable vehicle with a quick turnaround. In reality, each launch cost an average of half a billion dollars, it's two accidents proved that it was potentially dangerous, and it went from an estimated 14 day turnaround, to an average of 88 days. That doesn't mean it wasn't an extremely advanced marvel of engineering, but it failed at it's purpose. Bear in mind this isn't because of the engineers or NASA, it's because of Congress' ludicrous demands. NASA intended the Space Shuttle to be a small vehicle to ferry people and some cargo to and from LEO at a very low cost, nothing more, very similar to the Dream Chaser. Thing is, when NASA asked for funding, Congress started making one demand after another, including making it able to launch satellites and, potentially, space stations, along with the capacity to assist in building them. (hence the Shuttle's robotic arm) This completely changed the scope of the project, made the Space Shuttle go from something slightly bigger than a car to the behemoth it ended up being, and it's sheer size brought about all the issues it had with reentry that made it a relatively unsafe vehicle. In the end, they spent almost 200 billion dollars on a spacecraft program that didn't do anything rockets like the Delta IV couldn't.
Whatsoever are the reasons I still believe it's a masterpiece, if you keep aside whether it met it's purpose or how many billions needed, some technological advancement are way ahead of the future, it's still a surprise they grounded Concorde 20+ years ago though aircrafts crash do happen and people do fly, Engineers of those time omg 👌
Many astronauts have said the space shuttle was the downfall of space travel. Went to the moon than the space shuttle became the focus that put actual exploration on the back burner all these years. Til now finally they are starting to explore again.
@Aziri School is not useless it has a meaning, sure some of the stuff is useless ,but school teaches you how to learn and get ready for real learning (college).
Ken, I'm sure you'd be a very interesting man to talk to. I'm sure you feel great pride and achievement in life knowing you had imput into this program. Well done 👏.
I really liked how you discussed the shuttle in such a simple and concise manner, also, I commend you especially for pointing out about the shuttle airlock and how it was swapped later for the ODS for ISS missions oh, and hit that 1m subscriber mark!!
Jared Owen - your research has been spot on I have to say, as I’m doing the same here, but for a physical scale model for both the ISS and the Shuttle using office materials and the published parts from my friend’s website - AXM paper space scale models keep up the content! we really love everything you upload!
Start Trades - the Shuttle uses its flight computers to calculate its trajectory and translates it to control commands via the RCS thrusters and the OMS rocket pods to meet and link up to an orbiting satellite like the space station
As a young Canadian at the time of these launches, I was always impressed by how our country put that government issued Canada graphic dead centre on that sucker for the whole world to see every time it was shown on tv
Man just watching this video the Orbiter vehicle is a lot more complex than I thought it was it's got so many parts and complex systems that make it work and to the crews of both Columbia and Challenger I salute you as you will never be forgotten.
Lemme name-drop some other science-channel or learn-channel, cause i like sharing Fun and thats all the reason i need: Sci Man Dan, UpisnotJump, Planarwalk, Second Thought, Hbomberguy, Joe Scott, Sci Show, Hbomberguy. And thats not even mentioning Channels specialized on covering Issues; local or global; like Crops and War and LGBT and whatnotelse!

The thing about Columbia and Challenger, both vehicles were perfectly sound. It was all the damned external bits that spelled their doom. The SRB's in Challenger's case, and the ET in Columbia's. Further,... if the detachable crew cabin included in the original design were part of the Space Shuttle... both crews may have survived.
Thank you jared. I really appreciate these animations you make. It helps alot of people understand what happened. You're awesome! Just thought I'd remind ya bro! Thanks so much!
Now this is "brilliant". I have learn more from this video in 20 minutes ,that I have known in 20 yrs. They should incorporate videos like this to High Schools curriculums. Thank you so much for all this data.
@@JaredOwen maybe Mir too? I want interior for both! Maybe this is of help: The Soyuz spacecraft had many different versions. They were: 7K-OK 7K-OKS 7K-T 7K-TM Soyuz T Soyuz TM Soyuz TMA Soyuz TMA-M Soyuz MS The MS is used today.
I've seen the Discovery space shuttle in the National Air and Space museum as a kid. It's truly amazing to see in person and the thrusters at the back were absolutely HUGE
Words can't express how excellent the video was. Words can't express how excited and happy I am. Fantastic job. I am so very grateful for what you've delivered today. It's a blessing to get to watch something like this which adds up to the fascination and curiosity we have for topics like these. Thank you. I can't imagine the amount of work, research and meticulous effort it would have taken to produce such a comprehensive video. And then, you've done your best to cater to the requests we made. Just extraordinarily remarkable! You very well deserve 1M subscribers and many more.
Note that starting in 2005 as part of the recommendations imposed by the Columbia Accident Investigation Board. The shuttle was equipped with a 50ft extension of the robot arm called the Orbiter Boom Sensor System (OBSS). This was used to look for damage and assess the condition of the thermal protection system on the orbiter.
I BELIEVE IT WAS BACK IN THE 1970'S MAYBE 80'S BUT ALOT OF PEOPLE FEEL THAT THE U.S. GOING TO SPACE,WEATHER IT'S IN THE 1960'S OR 2020 IS THE BIGGEST WAIST OF$$$. THAT MONEY SHOULD BE SPENT SOMEWHERE ELSE,NOT WAISTING IT IN SPACE.I MYSELF DON'T LOOK AT IT THAT WAY.SPACE RESEARCH IS PART OF THIS COUNTRY,🇺🇸 AND SHOULD ALWAYS KEEP IT THAT WAY. CAN YOU IMAGINE IF WE HAD THE TECHNOLOGY THAT THEY HAVE IN THE STAR TREK MOVIES? IF MAN COULD TRAVEL 9 TIMES THE SPEED OF LIGHT? THE ROCKEFELLERS WOULD GO BROOKE!AS WELL AS THE ROTHSCHILDS!NO MORE GAS STATIONS,MOTOR OIL!WE COULD TRAVEL AROUND LIKE LITTLE GREEN MEN AND UFO'S!-OF COARSE WE CAN TRAVEL THREW SPACE SOMEWHAT LIKE THAT NOW(LISTEN TO THE RECORDING FROM BEN RICH THAT WORKED AT THE SKUNK WORKS AT LOCKHEED) BUT ALL THAT INFORMATION IS KEPT UNDER RAPS(COVERED UP,TOP SECRET,CLASSIFIED,IT WILL PUT TOO MANY COMPANIES OUT OF BUSINESS.
its rather sad that there are handful of humans who dislike their own lives so much and the only way they can make themselves feel better for a fleeting moment is hit dislike and generally be haters.... sad sacks. What can there possibly be to not like about this video
Waw, it's unbelievable the amount of detail. First time that I have this understanding of the shuttle, more than bits and parts, this time I get to see it as a practical whole. Thank you very much for your dedication, your video is impressive!
These animations fulfilled a lot of people's curiosity about things. Thanks a lot. The biggest surprise is that the space shuttle flew backward so as to not hit stray debris. That means space debris is a big problem.
Yes my friend. Our low Earth atmosphere can now join our oceans and most of the human inhabited land which are in desperate need of recovery and recycling. Such efforts would easily create multi-trillion dollar industries around the world and, oh yeah, help keep the Earth sustainable. Remember folks, the Earth does not need us, we need the Earth.
I think it's fun to imagine what a space debris removal machine would look like. Would its purpose be to redirect some debris away from low earth orbit? Or would it be an inert object with a massive shield of some sort, like a blanket unrolled with thousands of impenetrable tiles?
It's not that much of a problem, it's just that space travel is built on the principle of better safe than sorry. The international space station very rarely hits debris.
I would love to know how the engineers managed to make such slow rocket for space travel. You take a model rocket video and make it look the same size as the space shuttle rocket, and the space shuttle is barely crawling while a model rocket appears to shoot off like a bullet. I want to know why the scale speed does not appear equal in this case. After all when you take a real train going 60 and a model train appearing to go 60, film them side by side, and visually they appear to go the same speed. I feel the space shuttle launch is nothing more than a giant helium balloon floating up with a bucket of fireworks material dripping out the bottom to simulate rocket thrusts and they've been faking the whole thing this way.
@Mentally Ill Dark Jeroid It probably has a lot to do with thust to weight ratio. The fuel in a model rocket is much lighter than in a full sized shuttle.
Great video, back in the 70's I had an Uncle who worked for Litton Systems and he was on the team that developed the robotic arm used in the payload bay. I remember as a kid he had several very cool orbiter models. I grew up in Central FL and watched many launches, keep up the good work Jared.
Now I just wanna say that the Landing gear only comes down at 300 feet, 100 meters it is lowered at the height to minimize drag. So when he says close to the RWY I think he means REALLY close.
@@luz-5020 I'd like to recommend this video here regarding landing a space shuttle. It's got quite some neat details :) th-cam.com/video/Jb4prVsXkZU/w-d-xo.html
Among many and many documentaries and videos on TH-cam teaching things, this is one of the best in terms of narration. The voice is good to hear. There is not too much emphasis nor too low. It's balanced and very clear. Then, it's not boring to hear and watchers can pay attention the the content itself, not the way it's being explained. Well-done!! I loved it
Nasa is full of lies,lies and more lies and a thing called a confidentiality agreement when u hire on..we did not go to the moon.lets think about this.you didnt even have cars that got 20 miles to a gallon then.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Could you make a video explaining what went wrong with the 2nd and 3rd shuttles? I was in school when Challenger was launched we were watching it live in science class. I remember it clearly but I still don''t understand what caused the explosion, also I never knew about the one before that. What accident destroyed it?
Imagine designing a vehicle to take you and your family to the top of a mountain across some nasty terrain. Now imagine you are forced to do the same but also carrying a London bus in a cargo bay. Which would be the safest? The shuttle was a miracle of engineering because it achieved the latter with a fairly small rate of disaster.
The O-ring in one of the SRB's froze due to cold weather, causing pressure to build up, and eventually the SRV ruptured 73 seconds into flight, destroying the entire shuttle
The official name was the Space Transport System. Hence the reason why the mission names began with STS-###. But most people refereed to the orbiter and/or the whole system as the "Space Shuttle"
"The shuttle was designed to fit 6-8 astronauts." * sees 7 seats* ...so I guess the Waste Collection System is the least popular seat during a full launch.
I went to the LA Science Museum to look at The Endeavour - the space exhibits are really good, but it’s amazing walk around the space shuttle and see it up close. You’ve just put 3hours of walking and reading into a really informative 20 minute video! - Also a lot of what you covered is there to see in person, but your video brought it all together for me…
I'm still waiting for the California ScienCenter to finally build the new building where they're supposed to stand Endeavour upright with the tank and boosters. They said 5 years when I first saw it... 10 years ago.
suggestions: -How an air conditioner works - how a blender works - how a printer works - how an electron microscope works - how a mouse works -how a monitor works - how a hoverboard works -as a supersonic plane works -how does a fountain work - how a microwave works - how a refrigerator works - how a remote control cart works - how a television control works these are my suggestions (:
i grew up with the shuttle (born in 82) and was always fascinated by them.. i miss them so much. i realize it was its time, and im excited for the next step in human spaceflight... but nothing will capture my imagination like the shuttle did.
What a funtastic, dynamic and didactic explanation of how one of the modern triumphs of engineering actually was. All of my students loved your amazing work! Some of them even said they want to be astronauts, engineers or CGI specialists. I'm sure you helped to plant the seed of curiosity for science in them. Thank you so much for sharing your work with us. Greetings from Mexico City.
I really enjoy these videos! They are so well done. Our children enjoy them immensely. The videos are interesting for adults, yet simple and straightforward enough for fairly young children to understand. I love that there is no obnoxious techno music in the background, and your narrations are clear and easy listening. Keep up the good work, Jared!!!! P.S. Might I suggest a video on how a differential works....or perhaps an automatic transmission?
Here's why it is no longer in use. Originally, the shuttle was expected to launch as often as once per week, at a cost of $20 million per launch. Instead, it ended up costing about $1.5 billion per launch. I don't have much respect for members of the House and the Senate. But in this case, they made the right call in terminating the program. In addition, former NASA administrator Bolden initiated the private-sector space launch program. Now we have SpaceX, which can do it cheaper with reusable vehicles.
Nothing ever will be as cool as the shuttle. Back when being in America felt like being in the coolest place on Earth... Now everyone hates us... but for a moment there, we were AWESOME.
@@vquoi2 Some of us still know it's awesome. Its mostly the misguided youth.. Pampered college students paying $25K a semester with a new car from the rents, 2 cell phones and a house with 4 flat screen TVs....telling us how "oppressed" they are....
@@ASS_ault I'd say around the late 2000 teens is when US citizens started to hate their own country en masse. Prior to that, the vast majority of people were very patriotic. The height of patriotism was probably around Sept. 2001. You must be very young if you don't remember the world beyond 4 years ago.
@@truegrit1860 Indeed, and the first to launch a fully space-centric branch of our military. SpaceX will not be the leader for long. Eventually someone at the Skunkworks or Darpa will develop a super fast pulse drive, and ion drive or will harness antimatter for some type of futuristic travel at great speeds. I am very grateful that I lived to see not only the shuttle missions, and live to see SpaceX rejuvenate space travel for humans, but that I have a chance to possibly see us get beyond the bounds of Mars if I live a few more decades.
Fun Fact: when the hubble space telescope was first launched, its mirror was misaligned, so the pictures were blurry. They had to send a shuttle mission to replace the mirror
TrionFilms It wasn’t actually replaced, they added a module called COSTAR which corrected hubbles vision, like glasses or contacts for humans. And the Mirror wasn’t misaligned, it was the wrong shape.
@paul sticks Making such a negative and offensive comment like yours shows who the idiot really is. You can easily make your point without being a jerk. Try it next time, you might find the person you are commenting about may thank you for the correction.
This is awesome!!! Hope you can do more these: (My personal list): -STAR WARS (Venator Republic Star destroyer) -STAR WARS (Imperial II class Star Destroyer) -STAR WARS (Executor Star Destroyer) -STAR WARS (Death Star) -Ships (Titanic & Allure of the Seas) -Aircrafts (Boeing 747, Airbus A380 & Concorde) -Studio Ghibli (Howl's Castle, Spirited Away's Bath House) -Hogwart's Castle Hope you consider them, cuz you do a nice job, would be nice too see those petitions as this video ;)
I just descovered this channel some days ago. The animations and the explanations are excellent and in general very detailed. The audio track with artificial voice is great too, with great precision. For this particular video, however, I must point out the lack of some details regarding the launch and re-entry trajectories which would have made the work even more complete. In any case, excellent work.
Once they moved the airlock to the cargo bay it opened up a lot of space in the crew compartment. But yes it is not very big inside. That being said it is a massive machine. You never think about how big it really is until you see one up close. Visit the Atlantis exhibit at the Kennedy Space Center. You will be so close to the shuttle you can touch it. It is extremely humbling to be in the same room with that machine that has been to space multiple times. You can even smell what the Shuttle smells like. It's amazing.
@@ScarabChris I've been to the USS Intrepid museum in NY, where they've had the Enterprise (the one that didn't fly) on display but also on the same floor they had a real Soyuz capsule recovered from a flight to the ISS. You stand there and compare this little gray soviet port-a-potty that somehow 3 adults need to cram into, vs the massive shuttle, and then it hits you just how absolutely insane the achievements of human spaceflight are. I am a big guy but standing next to these incredible machines overwhelmed me with emotion. Highly recommended.
@@moti.g really sad that the buran got destroyed some years ago. Deserved to be in a museum as well, as the first reusable spacecraft able to carry out autonomously its mission including landing on the runway afterwards. A pretty dope achievement for the time.
I doesn't have any knowledge regarding to space but after this I learnt lot reallly....mind blowing animation .... I think this is the best explanation which we can't get even on paid ... How many of your agree. Love you from India.
Please note that around mark 7:20 the author says “there is no gravity in space “ when referring to crew sleeping in vertical bunks. Please note this is technically incorrect, at these height earth’s gravity is almost the same as on the surface, the crew feels the weightlessness because they are orbiting.
"Lands like a plane" or, as someone else mentioned: "It was about as aerodynamic as a brick. The ONLY way to simulate the "performance" of it during approach, was to take a small passenger jet, with gear down, flaps full down, speedbrakes out and engines in reverse. THAT's the shuttle's "glide" performance."
No, that is an autistic rant. The actual glide ratio compares to e.g. an early paraglider design and people could have fun with those 20 years ago... and it does land like a plane.
@@Baerchenization if a glide slope of around 10,800 feet/min (aka terminal velocity for a skydiver) is standard for an early paraglider, I'd stick with a brick instead
@@gajustempus If you knew what you are talking about, you would not have said that. A glide ratio is how far you get from a certain height, e.g. 1 Km altitude, 4.5 Km distance is a ratio of 1:4.5 -- time has nothing to do with it. Standard for an early paraglider was a 'kind' 3... 4.5 was already pretty good ;)
This is a killer animation and channel for that matter! I was sad you didn't go into a little more depth about the reentry phase, as it's extremely intense! They don't have any fuel and have to rely solely on gliding perfectly back to the runway on an insane 'bank' to cancel a lot of the speed. The whole process is wild, really, but this animation is awesome! Keep up the great work!
I was just scrolling through youtube to watch something interesting and by mistake tapped on this video. But this turned out to be a very good mistake and I got to see one of the best animated videos on youtube. Hats off to you man, you make really great videos. I am gonna watch your videos from now onwards whenever I feel demotivated to study.
Great video, Jared. It's more thorough and easier to display than my district-assigned curriculum. I periodically stopped it to add color-commentary and history.
@@mattgrant9652 You mean the STS Space Shuttle was a successful spacecraft. You know what was a failed spacecraft? The Buran program, the Energia program, and the N1 rocket program. Now, those three are failed spacecraft and programs. The Shuttle launched a fuckload of satellites and space probes when the reusable rockets for satellite launching weren't very good in the world until the late 1980s with the fantastic Delta II. The Shuttle-Mir, Hubble, and ISS programs were incredible and so were all the science research missions done by the Shuttle. Also the Russian space program would not be successful today without NASA and the USA. After the Soviet Union broke up the Russian government stopped funding their space program. NASA came to the rescue with Shuttle-Mir and the USA actually paid for the manufacturing and launching of Mir's Spektr (1995) and Priroda (1996) modules, LMAO. If you are gonna toot the Russians' horn then you gotta thank the USA for bailing their asses out during the 1990s when they had NOTHING in terms of space funding. Fobos-Grunt and Mars 96 were wonderful Russian programs, too, right? LMFAO.
@@nogoodnameleft it failed the majority of its design aims, cost too much and killed two crews...... Thanks for the essay in reply to a play on someone's sentence structure though.

I would patron/subscribe to the Brilliant program: unfortunately I'm really with a pitiful work as security guard and this doesn't allow me to spend any coin but for survival. Thank you for posting this kind of material. After all TH-cam is not only for very stupid nonsense things. Please keep up this great work. Greetings from Mexico.
Ya know, these types of videos are so interesting, my grandfather worked for NASA, and actually help design and engineer alot of equipment, from training the crew for and designing the ship used during Apollo 11, to working Mission Control at JSC for a couple of the Space Shuttle missions, really cool stuff, keep it up!
@@aeolian5366 listen man you don’t have to believe me, that’s your right, but I’ve seen so many things that he’s done, and am beyond proud of who I am and who my family is. I’ll respect your response, but I know the truth. I appreciate your comment.
@@dividedgalaxy5822 I have a masters degree in systems engineering, and I worked at Kennedy space center on the sound solid rocket boosters on Artemis. Its very difficult for one person to handle mamy hats like your grandfather supposedly did. I would take your word for it of he was one of those roles, but not all the ones you mentioned.
@@aeolian5366 that’s really impressive! Please allow me to clarify, he did in fact have a role in the Apollo missions, designing the computer systems and such, and what I meant by training crew, was teaching them how to use such equipment, as for designing the rocket, that one is a little exaggerated I’ll admit, but their team did have to figure out how to fit the computers in the ship, so it’s possible changes had to be made here and there. The space shuttle missions is true though, he did Mission Control until after either Challenger or Columbia, seeing as it was too difficult to continue much after that. Nowadays he watches and follows along with the current Nasa events, and sometimes does consulting for them to double check numbers and calculations. But you my friend, that’s cool, your role in this new era of space exploration 👍
Your videos are so helpful and you are so good at explaining everything. I also love how you like to do 3D animation it makes the videos even better than they are. I’ve learned so much from your videos that I just can’t even say how helpful your videos and channel is. I’ve found every of your videos very interesting. I’m just saying your videos are the best. I love them.
This is my first video of Jared’s. I have to say l this: What an extraordinarily talented and invaluable asset this man is to society. I’m amazed by people like him who use their passions and talents to contribute to us all. This channel is public service and I’m thankful I’ve found it.
Fascinating! It truly is amazing we are able to build things like this. I wanted to be an astronaut as a child and my artistic mind kept me from grasping math and engineering, but even if it HADN’T, my own fear of heights and claustrophobia would’ve kept me out of space. Still fascinated with it though and so amazed at what we’ve accomplished.
Brilliant, love this one! The shuttles were amazing! I went to the Kennedy Space Center last year. Seen that incredible exhibition of the shuttle program, then the Apollo! I love space!

The thing about Columbia and Challenger, both vehicles were perfectly sound. It was all the damned external bits that spelled their doom. The SRB's in Challenger's case, and the ET in Columbia's.
Further,... if the detachable crew cabin included in the original design were part of the Space Shuttle... both crews may have survived.

Thank you Mayank!
@@JaredOwen u already got 1M
Exactly.....what I'm feeling u ...posted it😅
Note that starting in 2005 as part of the recommendations imposed by the Columbia Accident Investigation Board. The shuttle was equipped with a 50ft extension of the robot arm called the Orbiter Boom Sensor System (OBSS). This was used to look for damage and assess the condition of the thermal protection system on the orbiter.
As well as the backflip maneuver upon arrival at the ISS for crew on board to visually inspect the orbiter.
I don't know why people would want to dislike this
maybe commies lol because their space shuttle never actually flew
Conspiracy theorists who think space travel is fake and the Space Shuttle is in a pool of breathable, completely clear liquid with black walls.
I was wondering the same. People are just weird.
I BELIEVE IT WAS BACK IN THE 1970'S MAYBE 80'S BUT ALOT OF PEOPLE FEEL THAT THE U.S. GOING TO SPACE,WEATHER IT'S IN THE 1960'S OR 2020 IS THE BIGGEST WAIST OF$$$. THAT MONEY SHOULD BE SPENT SOMEWHERE ELSE,NOT WAISTING IT IN SPACE.I MYSELF DON'T LOOK AT IT THAT WAY.SPACE RESEARCH IS PART OF THIS COUNTRY,🇺🇸 AND SHOULD ALWAYS KEEP IT THAT WAY.

its rather sad that there are handful of humans who dislike their own lives so much and the only way they can make themselves feel better for a fleeting moment is hit dislike and generally be haters.... sad sacks. What can there possibly be to not like about this video
These animations are incredibly cool.
Superbly made videos. Flawless!
Thank you!
Waw, it's unbelievable the amount of detail. First time that I have this understanding of the shuttle, more than bits and parts, this time I get to see it as a practical whole. Thank you very much for your dedication, your video is impressive!
Well put. I was looking at schematics and diagrams trying to make sense of it all. This video was perfect.
I've been a shuttle geek since STS-1 and still a learned some things in this video. The animation looked great, too. Thank you.
These animations fulfilled a lot of people's curiosity about things. Thanks a lot. The biggest surprise is that the space shuttle flew backward so as to not hit stray debris. That means space debris is a big problem.
Yes my friend. Our low Earth atmosphere can now join our oceans and most of the human inhabited land which are in desperate need of recovery and recycling. Such efforts would easily create multi-trillion dollar industries around the world and, oh yeah, help keep the Earth sustainable. Remember folks, the Earth does not need us, we need the Earth.
I think it's fun to imagine what a space debris removal machine would look like. Would its purpose be to redirect some debris away from low earth orbit? Or would it be an inert object with a massive shield of some sort, like a blanket unrolled with thousands of impenetrable tiles?
It's not that much of a problem, it's just that space travel is built on the principle of better safe than sorry. The international space station very rarely hits debris.
I would love to know how the engineers managed to make such slow rocket for space travel. You take a model rocket video and make it look the same size as the space shuttle rocket, and the space shuttle is barely crawling while a model rocket appears to shoot off like a bullet. I want to know why the scale speed does not appear equal in this case. After all when you take a real train going 60 and a model train appearing to go 60, film them side by side, and visually they appear to go the same speed. I feel the space shuttle launch is nothing more than a giant helium balloon floating up with a bucket of fireworks material dripping out the bottom to simulate rocket thrusts and they've been faking the whole thing this way.
@Mentally Ill Dark Jeroid It probably has a lot to do with thust to weight ratio. The fuel in a model rocket is much lighter than in a full sized shuttle.
Great work Jared, Your Space Shuttle video is so technically accurate, Thank you for all the careful attention to detail and animating it all so well.

He couldn't have described the Space Shuttle any better!. Well done.
Great video, back in the 70's I had an Uncle who worked for Litton Systems and he was on the team that developed the robotic arm used in the payload bay. I remember as a kid he had several very cool orbiter models. I grew up in Central FL and watched many launches, keep up the good work Jared.
Now I just wanna say that the Landing gear only comes down at 300 feet, 100 meters it is lowered at the height to minimize drag. So when he says close to the RWY I think he means REALLY close.
also it could only gravity extend, so it could not be put up again, one of the reasons the Space Shuttle had one shot at landing
Good you used both metric and imperial now no one understands
@@luz-5020 "No engines" was probably a close 2nd to "non-retractable landing gear"! ; )

Could you make a video explaining what went wrong with the 2nd and 3rd shuttles? I was in school when Challenger was launched we were watching it live in science class. I remember it clearly but I still don''t understand what caused the explosion, also I never knew about the one before that. What accident destroyed it?
Imagine designing a vehicle to take you and your family to the top of a mountain across some nasty terrain. Now imagine you are forced to do the same but also carrying a London bus in a cargo bay. Which would be the safest? The shuttle was a miracle of engineering because it achieved the latter with a fairly small rate of disaster.
The O-ring in one of the SRB's froze due to cold weather, causing pressure to build up, and eventually the SRV ruptured 73 seconds into flight, destroying the entire shuttle
As for the other, a chunk of insulating foam broke off during launch and knocked a hole through one of the wing's thermal tiles. That was 2003.
You didn't look at the back of the there was hundreds gas pouring out
I saw the Challenger disaster in the cafeteria at school
The official name was the Space Transport System. Hence the reason why the mission names began with STS-###. But most people refereed to the orbiter and/or the whole system as the "Space Shuttle"
More Rockets.. Perfect!!

Watching this just shaking my head...
IT IS THE MOST COMPLEX AIRCRAFT EVER.
the space shuttle is such an iconic thing that its kinda depressing when you figure out its no longer in use
space shuttle: no longer being used
spacex: *helo*
Kinda, yes. But understandably so...
Space Shuttle has a special place in my heart.
But overall, it must go after ISS finish(ish).
Hey guys if you like space videos then do visit my channel once pls 🙏 🙏🙏 🙏
Here's why it is no longer in use. Originally, the shuttle was expected to launch as often as once per week, at a cost of $20 million per launch. Instead, it ended up costing about $1.5 billion per launch. I don't have much respect for members of the House and the Senate. But in this case, they made the right call in terminating the program. In addition, former NASA administrator Bolden initiated the private-sector space launch program. Now we have SpaceX, which can do it cheaper with reusable vehicles.
Nothing ever will be as cool as the shuttle. Back when being in America felt like being in the coolest place on Earth... Now everyone hates us... but for a moment there, we were AWESOME.
Yep, I'm glad I at least got to experience USA before everyone, including its own citizens, began to despise it.
@@vquoi2 Some of us still know it's awesome. Its mostly the misguided youth.. Pampered college students paying $25K a semester with a new car from the rents, 2 cell phones and a house with 4 flat screen TVs....telling us how "oppressed" they are....
@@ralphralpherson9441 I can sit in a planetarium and watch stuff like this all day. I would break for lunch.
@@ASS_ault I'd say around the late 2000 teens is when US citizens started to hate their own country en masse. Prior to that, the vast majority of people were very patriotic. The height of patriotism was probably around Sept. 2001. You must be very young if you don't remember the world beyond 4 years ago.
@@truegrit1860 Indeed, and the first to launch a fully space-centric branch of our military. SpaceX will not be the leader for long. Eventually someone at the Skunkworks or Darpa will develop a super fast pulse drive, and ion drive or will harness antimatter for some type of futuristic travel at great speeds. I am very grateful that I lived to see not only the shuttle missions, and live to see SpaceX rejuvenate space travel for humans, but that I have a chance to possibly see us get beyond the bounds of Mars if I live a few more decades.
Fun Fact: when the hubble space telescope was first launched, its mirror was misaligned, so the pictures were blurry. They had to send a shuttle mission to replace the mirror
Actually, NASA knew the mirror was faulty when made. It wasn't misaligned. A misalignment could have been corrected, even after launch.
bruh the space shuttle launched the hubble bro
TrionFilms It wasn’t actually replaced, they added a module called COSTAR which corrected hubbles vision, like glasses or contacts for humans. And the Mirror wasn’t misaligned, it was the wrong shape.
that didn't replace the mirror
@paul sticks Making such a negative and offensive comment like yours shows who the idiot really is. You can easily make your point without being a jerk. Try it next time, you might find the person you are commenting about may thank you for the correction.

I didn't realize that there was so little room inside for the crew.
Once they moved the airlock to the cargo bay it opened up a lot of space in the crew compartment. But yes it is not very big inside. That being said it is a massive machine. You never think about how big it really is until you see one up close. Visit the Atlantis exhibit at the Kennedy Space Center. You will be so close to the shuttle you can touch it. It is extremely humbling to be in the same room with that machine that has been to space multiple times. You can even smell what the Shuttle smells like. It's amazing.
@@ScarabChris I've been to the USS Intrepid museum in NY, where they've had the Enterprise (the one that didn't fly) on display but also on the same floor they had a real Soyuz capsule recovered from a flight to the ISS. You stand there and compare this little gray soviet port-a-potty that somehow 3 adults need to cram into, vs the massive shuttle, and then it hits you just how absolutely insane the achievements of human spaceflight are. I am a big guy but standing next to these incredible machines overwhelmed me with emotion. Highly recommended.

Please note that around mark 7:20 the author says “there is no gravity in space “ when referring to crew sleeping in vertical bunks.

"Lands like a plane"
or, as someone else mentioned: "It was about as aerodynamic as a brick. The ONLY way to simulate the "performance" of it during approach, was to take a small passenger jet, with gear down, flaps full down, speedbrakes out and engines in reverse. THAT's the shuttle's "glide" performance."
*It Just Works*
Lol
No, that is an autistic rant. The actual glide ratio compares to e.g. an early paraglider design and people could have fun with those 20 years ago... and it does land like a plane.
@@Baerchenization if a glide slope of around 10,800 feet/min (aka terminal velocity for a skydiver) is standard for an early paraglider, I'd stick with a brick instead
@@gajustempus If you knew what you are talking about, you would not have said that. A glide ratio is how far you get from a certain height, e.g. 1 Km altitude, 4.5 Km distance is a ratio of 1:4.5 -- time has nothing to do with it. Standard for an early paraglider was a 'kind' 3... 4.5 was already pretty good ;)

This is a killer animation and channel for that matter!
I was sad you didn't go into a little more depth about the reentry phase, as it's extremely intense! They don't have any fuel and have to rely solely on gliding perfectly back to the runway on an insane 'bank' to cancel a lot of the speed.
The whole process is wild, really, but this animation is awesome! Keep up the great work!

What school did you go to where they spend a whole year attempting to teach you about a failed spacecraft?
@@mattgrant9652 You mean the STS Space Shuttle was a successful spacecraft. You know what was a failed spacecraft? The Buran program, the Energia program, and the N1 rocket program. Now, those three are failed spacecraft and programs. The Shuttle launched a fuckload of satellites and space probes when the reusable rockets for satellite launching weren't very good in the world until the late 1980s with the fantastic Delta II. The Shuttle-Mir, Hubble, and ISS programs were incredible and so were all the science research missions done by the Shuttle. Also the Russian space program would not be successful today without NASA and the USA. After the Soviet Union broke up the Russian government stopped funding their space program. NASA came to the rescue with Shuttle-Mir and the USA actually paid for the manufacturing and launching of Mir's Spektr (1995) and Priroda (1996) modules, LMAO. If you are gonna toot the Russians' horn then you gotta thank the USA for bailing their asses out during the 1990s when they had NOTHING in terms of space funding.

The space shuttle missions is true though, he did Mission Control until after either Challenger or Columbia, seeing as it was too difficult to continue much after that.

Дуже круте відео! Дякую! Дочитав книгу Маллейна якраз. І ваше відео чудово її доповнило!
Радий чути, що це було корисно для вас! Дякую за перегляд.
Engineering is definitely a form of art!
Fascinating! It truly is amazing we are able to build things like this.
I wanted to be an astronaut as a child and my artistic mind kept me from grasping math and engineering, but even if it HADN’T, my own fear of heights and claustrophobia would’ve kept me out of space. Still fascinated with it though and so amazed at what we’ve accomplished.
Brilliant, love this one! The shuttles were amazing! I went to the Kennedy Space Center last year. Seen that incredible exhibition of the shuttle program, then the Apollo! I love space!
Awesome video! 😃
“This was a contribution by Canada.”

This is so good. I watch this a lot. A handful of times every year, it's that good. Probably more.
