Only just catching up with Shuttle Sunday, sorry for my bad. Fascinating insight and looking forward now to catching up on the other Shuttle Sundays. Thanks Chris, Soyer and Jack
Thank you for adding the Columbia tribute at the end. I've not seen this before.
Super cool seeing STS1 again
This was an awesome show. It truly was a privilege seeing this old footage.
I worked for NASA at JSC when Endeavor was transported to Kennedy Space Center the first time. They circled the facility before landing at Ellington Field. Seeing the 747 and the shuttle circle was incredible, but seeing them on the ramp is hard to put into words. It was awe inspiring.
I was about 50 feet from it while it was parked at Scott AFB. It was incredible.
That speech at the end was inspirational. And proved that Columbia was indeed the best shuttle...
I was there on the causeway overlooking the clock. I went down after school with some friends. We stayed with my cousin the first night then my grandmother the next, so that we could watch it.
A triumph gentlemen. A great presenting trio.
Thanks for doing this NSF. Wonderful content as always. Grew up in the golden age of NASA so appreciate seeing this material. Looking forward for future episodes.
10% likes? Am I only in the 10%? This reduces my perception of what is important to humanity. OMG please Chris B....!!!! Keep doing these till the last flight of shuttle! I love It! Thanks for your contribution Jack and Sawyer! (spelling?) :) All smiles aside this is the content I want. This is content that causes tears of heartbroken memory. I miss those (hate that it is plural) shuttle crews! Thank you so much! Jack - Beard please, lose the kilt :) Gage - Jake rules! lose the bird - um natural enemy of Jake! Jake for president! So thankful you are all here! Has there ever been braver humans? Mach 2.8. Stage sep anxiety....what a perfect time to be alive... this was computer assisted flying. Underline and highlight computer assisted flying...to space... I LOVE that you covered the landing.. no go arounds...Our hearts were with them...............................
Awesome, boy does this bring back memories of my younger days! Thanks so much.
Watched most if this live, excellent discussion and cool pics and vids. Nice ending with speech from Crippen. Was 13 when STS-1 launched so it is vivid to remember as I was too young to remember last lunar landing. Live in Florida now and saw five shuttle launches in person near Titusville and Cocoa Beach, and many from west coast. Have been to several Space X, including Heavy, launches, cool as well but not compared to the display of a shuttle.
2 days to finally have time to watch
I was at white Sands missile range waiting for the launch. We were there for the 6 months preflight training for landing approach. I was in the USAF and supported the preflight training and for the first three landings. The 3rd flight landed there. We had crews with mobile TACAN navigation systems at all possible landing sites.
This is wonderful, can't wait for the following missions.
It was the mighty Space Shuttle that got me interested in Spaceflight
I’ve read the white paint added 600 pounds to the tank
Thought you were going to do this when nothing was happening .. we had crew 8 yesterday.. ugh mad I missed this live😂
Why did this never appear on my subscription feed? I found this on the list of random videos on the right edge of youtube page when watching a different NSF video. And apparently the same thing hit many others because this has a small fraction of number of views of other NSF live streams!
I was there!
So long ago❤
So true❤❤
to me it seems like yesterday.
Could the space shuttle have been designed as it was, but made to be safer? When I was a teen in the late 1950’s, I had a Monogram model of a space passenger rocket design associated with Willie Ley, German science writer & colleague of Von Braun.
Teach me things.
White ET is best ET, the weight of the paint was worth it.
Why is this video not public?
The STS trainer aircraft had large airfoils mounted under the aircraft like big landing gear wings. The STS trainer dropped like a rock coming in at a 21 degree glide slope over and over all day for months at white Sands.
We called the mounting system a stiff leg derrick!
The runway at white Sands is 8 miles long!
