Shuttle Launch!
- Thread starter urbaindk
- Start date
We were able to catch most of the launch from the top of our parking garage here at work. We could see the flames for a good minute and then it was just the trail.
tank jettison.... 0-18,000 mph in about 10 minutes...... thats gotta hurt.

Besides the video feed where are ya'll getting this speed and g stuff?
I just watched it on TV...pretty cool new camera angles.
Looks like they spent more money on the goddamned camera equipment than they did revising the shuttle...TreeSaw said:

Not bad. and the timing was good too. I'm impressed.
yeah, the camera angels make for much more interesting launch. they now need cams in the face of all of the crew...kinda like on fear factor.
I wonder if the FCC would fine NASA for the "OH SH!T"s?TN said:
The external fuel tank jettison was cool.
This just in:
The space shuttle has attacked the atmosphere.
It already has a gap of 30 seconds.
The atmosphere is not responding, and has apparently cracked.
Maybe the atmosphere should have shedded a couple more kilos
during the off season.

But video of what appeared to be some kind of debris falling off Discovery during launch prompted questions that NASA officials said they couldn't immediately answer.
The NASA video showed the unidentified debris falling and not appearing to hit Discovery. Falling debris that struck the craft during liftoff was blamed for the eventual destruction of Columbia as it re-entered the atmosphere in February 2003.

They have added a heat tile repair kit in the shuttle now because of it.
There we go - the troposphere just popped and went off the back.Jeremy R said:
