It's hard to comprehend how steep and how fast a Shuttle approach was. We used to joke if you dropped a brick midfield from the same height of the Shuttle, the Shuttle would beat it to the ground, and it was true. This cockpit video makes it real. Who's... show more

The Shuttle Training Aircraft was a Grumman Gulfstream II modified to simulate a gliding Shuttle orbiter: It still needed to drop gear and reverse thrust to match the terrible L/D of the orbiter on descent.

After reentering Earth's atmosphere at hypersonic speed, the Space Shuttle had no engines to help it land. Once it dropped out of orbit, it became a heavy glider, relying only on gravity, aerodynamics, and the pilot's precision. There were no second chances. The shuttle had a steep descent, a narrow landing window, and just one shot at the runway.

In order to test the space shuttle Enterprise's landing capabilities, it was carried to 24,000 feet atop a modified 747, and blasted off using explosive charges.

Real Footage of UFOs Near the Space Shuttle...🧐🤔 This video is a footage of two orbs approaching the space shuttle in a very sharp way, we can clearly see their shape and then moving away, it's truly spectacular

40 Years ago Barbara Morgan watched as Challenger lifted off with a crew she'd got to know well. She was the backup for the teacher in space program. We all know what happened to the shuttle, and it's understandable that many people would see this and never want to fly on it. Barbara returned to teaching but would be offered another opportunity to become an astronaut in 1998, she was still working as an elementary school teacher at that time. She trained again and was expected to fly on STS-118, assigned to Columbia, while preparing for this flight she would be on a jet that was supposed to meet Columbia after it returned from space. Again she had a front row seat to a shuttle disaster. She was undeterred and would ultimately fly to the ISS on Endeavour in 2007, leading lessons from space. We all hear about fearless test pilots, but less about fearless elementary school teachers.

Today marks 3 years since Taiki Shuttle left us. His greatest win was the Prix Jacques le Marois in France. By chance, that race will be run in 2 hours. This video shows Shuttle and Doto curiously checking out Meto-san. It was filmed just 1 month before Shuttle left us.

And on today´s "Aviation in the movies" feature, the Space Shuttle Hijacking from the movie "007 Moonraker." (As a note, while what we see here is pure fiction, and in real life the shuttle could not fly like this, the Soviet Buran did have in testing, two engines similar to the Su-27 for reentry maneuver, so, in theory, it could do this. On its only space flight, the "flight engines" were not used)

Saw this video compilation on tiktok about Malaysian players defending style. Especially the dive, the sitting, and the lying down. It may not be the best (defending way) one, but certainly the most entertaining to watch. Also it is painful and dangerous. Makes you think, why would they go all the way to that extend, just return that shuttle. Lee Yong Dae 🗣️: 🇮🇩 is detailed one 🇰🇷 is powerful one 🇨🇳 has the speed 🇲🇾 has the defense “They (Malaysian) scoop the shuttle like a spoon.” “All of them did that.” 📸: Tiktok @/Jahzabby #BadmintonMalaysia

“So I Decided To Board Alex Otti’s Electric Shuttle Bus In Umuahia Today, From Isigate To Express Tower. It Was a Lovely Experience. Before Otti, This Road Was Flooded And Not Motorable. Kudos To Dr. Alex Otti For Restoring The Dignity Of Abians.” ~ Nigerian Soldier

🚨 IS THIS PROOF WE NEVER WENT TO THE MOON? Watch the clip until the end!! In 2001, documentary filmmaker, Bart Sibrel published, “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Moon” The film shares footage from inside the space shuttle of Apollo 11 in 1969 that was never supposed to become public At the end of this clip, you can clearly see the exposure of the camera change from inside the spaceship proving that the crew used lighting tricks to make a small round window in the space shuttle look like the whole Earth. This doesn’t conclusively prove that they never went to the moon. But it does show that at the very least, images of the Earth from space that aired on television was fake. Bart Sibrel was also the man who got punched by Buzz Aldrin Watch this video until the end and tell me what you think

After years of hustle, sweat, and hard work, we made it to 50k! That is CRAZY!!! Crazy to think this is how it all started 😂 To everyone who's been here from the beginning—thank you. And to the newcomers—welcome to the journey :)
