Sonic booms heard over Kennedy space center! What an engineering marvel the space shuttle was! Must have been something to experience space flight in the shuttle!
My favorite of the five of shuttles built. It was also the most successful, completing a total of 39 flights, 365 days in space, 5,000 + orbits and journeyed roughly 148 million miles!
@@maxwellharris507 I know that. But there was also the “Enterprise.” That one was not built for space flight. The Enterprise now is on the retired “Intrepid” aircraft carrier in NYC.
One night back in the late 90's there was a night landing at Kennedy. The 'trail' from re-entry lit up the night sky like a beam from Heaven. I was living in a town between New Orleans and Baton Rouge then. What was mind boggling was by the time we heard the sonic boom from when the shuttle passed overhead, it was already on the ground at Kennedy in Florida.
I’m not old enough to remember the space shuttles landing but I live close enough to KSC to watch SpaceX launches from my house. If you could see and hear it from Louisiana I can’t imagine what it would have been like here, insane
Imagine this. Riding on a huge tank of high-explosive stuff to the space, then returning flying faster than any plane and having super oven-like heat under your butt for a long time, then you have to steer that large thing with no propulsion onto an asphalt oversized strip somwhere on Earth. And the Space Shuttle was aerodynamically just a well-shaped brick with wings slapped on it.
@@dare-er7sw speed hum well its an answer i guess i would accept to hear wind rush over the sts but not it sounding like a modern jet plane listen to the footage carefully.regards
@@richardbailey3343 Landing speed is 215 miles per hour. It does have APUs but they are powered by fuel cells. From Wikipedia: "The Space Shuttle APUs provided hydraulic pressure. The Space Shuttle had three redundant APUs, powered by hydrazine fuel. They were only powered up for ascent, re-entry, and landing. During ascent, the APUs provided hydraulic power for gimballing of the Shuttle's three engines and control of their large valves, and for movement of the control surfaces. During landing, they moved the control surfaces, lowered the wheels, and powered the brakes and nose-wheel steering. Landing could be accomplished with only one APU working."
What you're hearing is aerodynamic noise (aero-acoustics). Watch this video here: th-cam.com/video/8CZSUUrdMW0/w-d-xo.html You'll notice that these wingsuit skydivers almost sound like they are propelled by rockets.... but they are not. Now imagine the shuttle, which is much larger, and traveling much faster. The sound it makes will be substantially louder. If you watch this video: th-cam.com/video/gyr5TqE3t5Q/w-d-xo.html you can hear it better. 85 tons pushing through the cool dense air at night, doing 300mph.
Something as large and massive as that craft creates a lot of noise just cutting through the air at well over a hundred miles an hour. Plus, there are spinning turbines inside that are running the hydraulic pumps and the whine of those at high RPM could add to an "engine" sound.
Why would there be jet engines? Simply to make you feel better about believing that the earth is flat? Well, sorry to disappoint you but the real world works on engineering, not just a child's wishes.

I have no idea why they decommissioned the space shuttles a space traveling marble a craft that launches all like a rocket, but touches down like an airplane
It was meant to be a reusable and economically viable heavy lift launcher. It was somewhat reusable and not affordable. Also it's a very dangerous thing to fly
I think space shuttles and rockets are different because space shuttles takes off and land like an aeroplane and rockets don’t take off and land like an aeroplane I think space shuttles and rockets both go to space. Question 1. Do you agree with me that I think space shuttles and rockets are different because space shuttles takes off and land like an aeroplane and rockets don’t take off and land like an aeroplane ? Question 2. Do you agree with me that I think space shuttles and rockets both go to space?
the shuttle as APUs, but also things that travel through the air make air wooshing sounds. The higher pitch humming you hear is the APU, and the lower pitch rumbling you hear is the airspeed of the shuttle. Its a bit like the sound of an avalanche, also if you can find audio airplanes landing without any engines, it will still sound remotely like a jet due to the airspeed also where would the intakes be for the jet engines? this is such a silly claim
@@kadenbryant6916 if it's space shuttle as they claim it should have glide but this sounds like it came from somewhere else. Iam not sure if thesecame from the space.
The only thing good is the sexy voice describing the landing . Do not see the point of an airplane with no engines and only carrying a few passengers in a one class configuration. No wonder no airlines has bought this plane except for NASA Airways , which has no frequent flyer program by the way …..
The point of the whole thing is to maximise reusable parts of the rocket in an age when rockets weren't able to land on their own and be reusable that way. In the end the cost savings were dubious but the idea is to save copious amount of resources for the next mission. It's the closest thing to a spaceship humanity had prior to Space X.
0:22 370 mph??? You mean 37 mph, don't you?? 0:50 Drag-Shoot unnecessary, it was just for show, its coming it at less than 40 mph, and you could hear its weak engine-noise. So, this is NOT a glider, as it is falsely claimed!!!
two APU's on board, and faint drag noise every object hurling trough the air makes. You really tought you'd hear it quietly silently swooshing trough the air? Have some sense🤣

Yes.
The shuttle was amazing. Miss it so much
Try shuttlecock
Also amusing too
So those tires go from -450°F in space and then are "shielded" from 3000° reentry by those thin flaps and still function as intended?
The gears are contained until shortly before landing, they can only be deployed once. They mechanically break out, and stay out.
Thin flaps? Perhaps leave the engineering of things to those of us that are intelligent.
I know this isn't what this video is about but I find the woman's voice really calming😴
Yeah I think she’s still with nasa doing commentary
My understanding is it doesn’t have a live engine?? So it’s essentially gliding all the way down to earth 😅
Funny that cos you can clearly see that it has two live engines nearest to the rear fin and you can hear them running in this video.
