Nope, Liquid Hydrogen and Liquid Oxygen powers the RS-25. This is why the exhaust is so clear, because there is no soot and the only bi-product is water. Hydrazine engines are hypergolic and an example of what that would look like is the Proton-M rocket which the exhaust is yellow/orange and there is a yellow exhaust from the dumped pre-burner exhaust. The Hover test of SpaceX's Crew Dragon Capsule also uses hypergolic engines.

Well no as it would cause the shuttle to be too heavy. The amount of weight needed to lift the shuttle into space is barely light enough to make it fordable to be effective. Even then the shuttle problem ended as it was still rather costly even in the end of being cost effective compared to the Apollo Program. So now even with huge budget cuts do to idiot government. NASA is trying hard to create a new shuttle that is effective and hoping to return to the moon. Yet those plans all been dashed slightly do to a certain president that is so narrow minded commie.

@nunchuckerz10 жыл бұрын
nunchuckerz Orbital velocity is around 7 km/s. carting around enough fuel to slow down the space shuttle to where it doesn't need thermal protection is ridiculous, so we get around it by making heat shields and blunt designs to redirect and absorb the heat. Also, it's way more expensive to launch a rocket (especially a heavy lift one that could be carrying a paying customer's payload) full of coolant than it is to slap some thermal protection on the bottom of a shuttle.
@Dilongparadoxus10 жыл бұрын
but thermal protection isnt always reliable and has cost lives, they could just load the shuttle with the coolant before re-entry
@nunchuckerz10 жыл бұрын
nunchuckerz the issue is that to carry more weight into space you need more fuel. And a bigger rocket is more expensive than a smaller one, as is sending many rockets. This is a physical limitation, defined by the rocket equation, not just something we haven't thought of. The shuttle would also be heavier on reentry, which might make the heat even worse, but I'm not entirely sure if those two things correlate. And the shuttle is the only craft that has lost lives on reentry because of its thermal protection, and that was partly because of nasa policy.

Reply if you know what that aluminum powder/ iron oxide Mizos called.
Bob Ninny thermite
what principle is mainly applied on the space shuttle

Given enough money even a brick can fly.
Hammond isn’t driving a car.... THE WORLD IS DYING
The Hamster looks so young!
Surprised Hammond didn't do this with May
36:30 listen for underwater sounds then dolphin noises over the top of the mini robot arm, nasa shuttle spacewalks filmed in a huge swimming pool
cypressbill1980 If you listen very carefully you can hear your stupidity causing a ripple in that same pool
forget the tea just eat the tea pot
just ignore the 13 dislike there are still innocent amazing documentary of Shuttle
24:03 *_"IM GONNA BUILD A WALL HERE."_*
genious germans absorbing sound with bubbles ;-D
i love cc 6
I hate how they flat out lie sometimes just for dramatic effect. The first machine to pump organs was not an "internal combustion engine", it was a steam engine. They had those for a hundred years before the internal combustion engine.
Didn't the shuttle end up being absurdly inefficient for reuse?
It did, sometimes described as a giant liability.
To quote Pete Conrad (Apollo 12 commander) "Maybe each STS flight cost 2 billions, but what the shuttle is capable of is 3 billions worth"
your mom is absudrly gay LOL
Wasn't that because it had to be designed for military use (hauling stuff for the military) but for most civilian / science uses its overkill
From what I remember cost of payload to LEO would be $20,000 per kilo with a Saturn V and $200,000 per kilo with the Shuttle.
@ 30:35 But why can i hear car horns and everything else just fine when it rains?
Just fine, but not with perfect resolution. Have you tried listening for sounds in a heavy fog, or thick falling snow? Same idea.
Nuclear ballistic submarines are more complicated than the shuttle ever dreamt of being.
Probably cuz they are real
what is up with all these videos in 240p?!? I must have fell into the low resolution section of youtube!
Is he going to use another Reliant Robin? I mean it is pointy at one end… How hard can it be?
Supa hot fire
Brill sonic boom thing!
Sadly, the Shuttle did not fly as many times as planned, was to expensive and had to be cancelled. New technology came and we are back to reusable vehicles.
why wouldnt they fly out
Im going to watch Doctor Who right now. Lol
The origin of rocket fuel comes from Chinese fireworks rocket technology. which is powdered aluminium with IronOxide and a binder
3000yr old thermite then !
and the engines are soviet made ..... they still buy them from russia to this day
The RS-25's are not Soviet or Russian made, they were developed by Aerojet Rocketdyne and are built by them. The SRB's were developed and built by Orbital ATK who are now Northrop Grumman Innovation Systems. The Atlas V rocket has Soviet and Russian made engines which is the RD-180 which still are built by Russia. The new Vulcan Rocket being built by ULA uses American made (by Blue Origin) BE-4 engines.
And all this time I thought Chinese fireworks were based on gunpowder starting in the ninth century.
05:30 (imitates homer simpson) mmmm....chocolate cattle....Ghhahhlnghhahhl

Al - you -min - ee - um.
haha. he said "red-rocket"
Andrew I get the feeling that you would eat a bicycle , if it was made of chocolate !!!!!!

Y’all are nutcases
Is it only me that hears him saying chocolate I scream kettle?
"Toobs"

That's like saying you have choice of either siding with us or North Korea. He's obviously gonna pick the US but he probably would have wanted the Germans to get there first. He was, after all, first and foremost a German. Regardless, my point was that we could never have done it without the research that the Nazis did and the German rocket scientists who we employed after WWII.
They didn't really kidnap Von Braun, he had a choice of siding with the USSR or US and he chose the US. It was his dream to see man in space
LOL
1 guy 1 canon... xD

Surely its hydrazine, not hydrogen, that powers the shuttles engines??
Nope, Liquid Hydrogen and Liquid Oxygen powers the RS-25. This is why the exhaust is so clear, because there is no soot and the only bi-product is water. Hydrazine engines are hypergolic and an example of what that would look like is the Proton-M rocket which the exhaust is yellow/orange and there is a yellow exhaust from the dumped pre-burner exhaust. The Hover test of SpaceX's Crew Dragon Capsule also uses hypergolic engines.
RIP space shit thingy
He forgot the most important ingredient that we had: kidnapped Nazi scientists. So basically WWII put us in space.
Water is more dense than air. Thanks NASA.
Lankey Bastard why do clouds float then
no body left the earth
People have left the earth and there is plenty of evidence to show that they have.
@@lewisnorth1188 But if does that, he'll have to admit that his narrative is wrong!
Every Hammond documentary can be watched easily on 1.5 speed...it actually makes them much more watchable.

When is it ever cold enough to wear a leather jacket in south Florida?
Fairly often, actually. Cold air slants down the East Coast from the North Atlantic.
I think launching satelite in orbit for gps or weather forecasting is reasonable but having space station and feeding the crew with this expensive space shuttle is not so reasonable.
mohammad reza Farhani The space station is one of the most valuable laboratories we have. The ability to perform tests without gravity interfering is essential to a lot of investigations, it has even led to certain cancer treatments.
@@lewisnorth1188 We are finding out all sorts of things that are completely contrary to what appears "reasonable" at the bottom of a gravity well.
Waste of chocolate, water, and a grill :P
couldnt they just use the same method for cooling the engines in re-entry
Well no as it would cause the shuttle to be too heavy. The amount of weight needed to lift the shuttle into space is barely light enough to make it fordable to be effective. Even then the shuttle problem ended as it was still rather costly even in the end of being cost effective compared to the Apollo Program. So now even with huge budget cuts do to idiot government. NASA is trying hard to create a new shuttle that is effective and hoping to return to the moon. Yet those plans all been dashed slightly do to a certain president that is so narrow minded commie.
Qardo dam money ruins everything, if they could take up the coolant to the space station with heavy lift rockets and just pump it into the new shuttles just before re-entry, also wondered why the shuttles/capsules cant come through the atmosphere slowly
nunchuckerz Orbital velocity is around 7 km/s. carting around enough fuel to slow down the space shuttle to where it doesn't need thermal protection is ridiculous, so we get around it by making heat shields and blunt designs to redirect and absorb the heat. Also, it's way more expensive to launch a rocket (especially a heavy lift one that could be carrying a paying customer's payload) full of coolant than it is to slap some thermal protection on the bottom of a shuttle.
but thermal protection isnt always reliable and has cost lives, they could just load the shuttle with the coolant before re-entry
nunchuckerz the issue is that to carry more weight into space you need more fuel. And a bigger rocket is more expensive than a smaller one, as is sending many rockets. This is a physical limitation, defined by the rocket equation, not just something we haven't thought of. The shuttle would also be heavier on reentry, which might make the heat even worse, but I'm not entirely sure if those two things correlate. And the shuttle is the only craft that has lost lives on reentry because of its thermal protection, and that was partly because of nasa policy.
it is a good and informative show...just a little condescending in the presentation as Hammond appears to be talking to 10year old children when he turns to the camera.....
"Nasa designed the Shuttle to reduce the cost of space operations" Well, i would say: FAAAAIL and back to the drawing board
Actually at the time it was cheaper to reuse the shuttle rather then to build a whole new craft then u half to go through new testing to dead the craft space worthy and that it can handle the g's and violent shaking and rattling from the launch while still maintaining it's space worthyness. It was actually very much cheaper compared to building a new craft.
24:03 Sound like Trump
i scream ice cream
you know what isn't the most advanced machine ever built, THE POTATO THAT THEY FILMED THIS DOCUMENTARY.
Big Falcon Rocket I'm pretty sure the person who copied the video and uploaded it to KZhead just copied it at a lower resolution
And if he came across like a professor and explained everything scientifically, the average KZhead user wouldn't understand what he was saying, thus your comment is invalid.
