This is just a awesome series to watch keep them coming NSF it brings so many memories of the mighty Space Shuttle
Right 😊
I never really appreciated the heritage and history of the shuttle. These shows show the mood, styles and mindset of the times it took place. So cool. Thanks heaps guys.
This was another great Shuttle Sunday, Thanks Chris B, & all the NSF staff!!!
StS 7, my first shuttle launch from the cape. Such fun, wow I'm old.
Love the space shuttle Sunday shows!!! 👍🏻
great info from comentary team cheers from melbourne australia
@NASASpaceFlight Folks, the reason our MCC/Mission Control Center RMS team was a bit miffed at Sally putting the RMS in the ‘7’ position was because the ‘close to arm tolerances’ was because it was perilously close to a joint Singularity, where you lost (at least) one whole degree of motion/ability to completely control the arm. As one of the first fully-trained RMS astronauts- i..e., more involved with development of the RMS than the normal astronauts had been later- Sally felt more comfortable than she should have been in pulling that stunt, to be frank. - Dave Huntsman (NASA/Retired).
SALLY TOOK US ALL FOR A RIDE ON THE SPACE SHUTTLE ! ! !
thank you all at nsf team
Sawyer is so knowledgeable
I'm Hans, and I'm Sawyer... And I'm here to pump you up
Saw this launch live - the only one I was privileged enough to see as a kid.
I’ve always loved her because after the moon, I stated that I wanted to be an astronaut. I was just laughed at.
"Super machine" great way to describe the shuttle 💯💪🏽
space shuttle sunday yay
Thanks!
Loving Shuttle Sundays. You guys should start also mentioning book recommendations...here are mine and I read them in this order - "Into the Black", "Bold They Rise", "Truth Lies and O-rings", "Wheels Stop" and "Bringing Columbia Home". I also just finished "Handprints on Hubble" by Kathryn Sullivan, and now I am reading "Sally Ride" by Lynn Shear. Next on my list is "The Six" and "Through the Glass Ceiling to the Stars"
it's a really generous thing for people to do
My two cents to the disaster episodes: you should definitely cover it (and all of it). It is sad, but also a reminder what could ( and will) happen (again) when it comes to spaceflight. I have no doubt that you can cover even a heavy topic like that respectfully.
Dudes. We had good cameras back in the 1980s.
Thank You
I think the idea about covering the traffic missions from the 'lessons learned review' perspective a good option, although a brief overview of the intended mission goals, and completed ones, because that's a part of the whole story. I know we can trust the NSF team to maintain the proper level of respect deserved for those lost. Although the chat modes may need some adjustment for portions of discussions. But the moderation team have done a good job from what I've seen in the past, so I have confidence in them for this. For some people, this will be the only time they encounter deep studies of the orbiters, crews and missions, and avoiding the tragic moments world be a disservice. At least that's my thought on the matter.
I was hoping for this!
Took a picture of your image and searched it with Google Lens . And it came back as Médanos Isthmus
Anyone remember what mission was it that had a veteran MS (totally unauthorized) ride the entry while standing on the flight deck recording out the windows?
Real-life Ripley.
I am curious: Do your ears pop on launch and re-entry, or unlike an airliner, do spacecraft (including the Shuttle) maintain sea level pressure throughout rather than an "acceptable" pressure differential?
Is this LIVE? I did not get any info if it was earlier
It was live at 3:00PM EDT on the Space Coast Live stream. NSF clips it and makes a separate video. Pretty sure there is no KZhead notification since a new live stream was not created. There was a message in the red banner on Starbase Live.
when is the takeoff is it tonight May 7th
lets chat about rockets!!!
Can't believe you didn't cover the time she almost shot Ed Baldwin to avoid a nuclear war
5x5
It's radio talk to check people can hear our commentary
I turned this off when you guys went totally off the rails discussing STS-51L.Instead of STS-7 and Sally Ride. This was neither the time nor the place for that discussion and was disrespectful of both the Challenger legacy and Sally ride and her legacy. You need to discuss it internally and maybe have a poll or2 after you come up with come concrete ideas.
Couldn't disagree more, to be fair, Brian. But allow me to say why. This is not a scripted show. This will go through all the missions and how to approach the mission, which includes the very orbiter we were talking about - and asking the community - is totally relevant and on the rails. This was literally the part where we were overviewing what is to come in these shows, which will obviously have to deal with those missions. I know some Shuttle fans want us to avoid the disasters, but we'll never be that type of Shuttle fan.I fail to see how it's disrespectful to tie in the achievements with this because it was when they overcame those issues, the program found its true value in the following eras of crewed spaceflight. I feel very strongly about this, so classic it as "off the rails" (on topic) and "I turned off" (only want to hear the happy stuff?) odd. It would be like, "You mentioned Columbia when STS-7 liberated bi-pod foam from the ET." How could we not?
I think the disasters need to be covered, but in a thoughtful and respectful manner. A scripted show with chat turned off would be appropriate, not the usual spit balling and joking, their sacrifices deserve more.
