NASA Engineer Shows YouTube “Best of the Best” Shuttle Videos
Sometimes Engineers can create something surreal and incredibly beautiful. Take a look at this video of the Space Shuttle launch from a selection of the 150 or so cameras that record each launch.
As the video states, the Space Shuttle, with over one million moving parts, is the most complicated piece of machinery ever built by humans beings. Ths Shuttle burns over 1000 gallons of liquid propellants and 20,000 pounds of solid fuel every second to generate nearly seven and a half million pounds of thrust. After eight minutes from liftoff, the Shuttle reaches orbit travelling nearly five miles per second.
Warning: It is 45 minutes long and you just might become very emotional watching this machine leap into space. Enjoy.
