Aaaaand they've set fire to the tarmac. No literally.

Space stig to test?

Some say......

@@anuragrajkumar5406 Some say he puts rocket fuel on his Cheerios instead of milk.....and that he's actually the one driving that roadster that Elon Musk launched towards Mars. All we know is, he's called the Space Stig !.

You mean the Spig?

At the beginning of the show he mentioned that the space shuttle has flown 130 times, Nasa's STS 130 was flown in 2010, so he couldn't have recorded this before 2010 and therefore it's more like the definition of 2010

​​@@terranrepublic7023 nobody accused Hammond of being up to date on style, and OP is right, the way he's dressed is extremely 2005. Just because the show was released between 2008-11, that means nothing in relation to Hammond's apparel choices. He is British, after all. A lot of Brits still dress like WWII hasn't happened yet.

Agreed. I have watched this series a number of times and it never gets old.

HAMMOND! YOU BLITHERING IDIOT!

Is it a problem that I hear Jeremy's voice?

@@jacobcoopervfx4674 it's not, actually it means that you are normal

space shuttle in 2020 is a little outdated XD

Yes pleeease 🙏

Unreal… Exactly… Now wake up.

Lucky man. I am from Germany and I have been in the USA, but missed a shuttle takeoff only by 1 week. Sadly I have been at the cape during landing and it landed in California :-( due to bad weather in Florida. Now there is nothing left like this remarkable flying machine. Only small rockets.

Guess you never heard me after Taco Bell. Oh and dumcan, why you even watching something about space? Flatearther clown.

They do!!

Jeremy can explain things normally also, he has done some war documentaries and I liked them. He is really calm in those video's.

@@mexert14 what he says is often incorrect or badly simplified for the sake of entertainment

his documentaries arent that bad either.

Well aren't you very welcome. I'm sure the guy appreciated your support and compliment.

pretty good documentary, most of the information given is accurate with other sources i've seen. other than the columbia disaster section. that wasn't just caused by re-entry forces, it was caused by the NASA administrators' negligence to a large foam strike that punched a hole in the left wing.

Yet. 😂

you must not have watched the reliant shuttle episode

Where is the videos for uneducated unexpected un expensive Nu job ever Nu money to spend on polluted water rivers lakes oceans canals??worldwide humans cities farming more trash and wastewater Nu jobs ever yet for nature best animals insects fish from the rivers polluted yet?? Think 07

Hey! Don't be mean. The Reliant Shuttle was glorious 😂

Not much to be honest, it's an amazing example of the art of the bodge lol. Really not the best rocket design but certainly interesting.

Del boy would be impressed nether the less

I fuckin hate people who quote what was said in the comment section. Your a fuckin parrot

Well lots of rockets fail on their first test flight...

This was a TV series 15 YEARS AGO... Calm down...

@@NicTheGreek1979 😂

it's a controlled constant explosion in the direction you want to move towards, you could have learned it yourself by throwing a grenade at a stationary object and watch that stationary object move... basically just a missile that was sent into space in war time... THEN when peace took over, the civilians thought "hey, we could really do something meaningful for humanity, sure military would get our research too but he who keeps the lights on gets the spoils" - most times that has been beneficial to everyone but very critical for flight and environmental safety for the military.... such as memory foam and understanding aerodynamics to a minute level, aerodynamics wouldn't be used by you and me but for the military it means the difference between a jet making it from New York to Paris or not, memory foam is one of those eureka that benefits everybody from young to old and in most fields... including office chairs. Designs have assisted private ventures with skipping the harsh "learn by the hand of humility" and more about "learn from others"... Shame that governments don't go for a global front and pool money together to actually get a global space program together that is under the international law that no country has complete access, but all countries have benefits... could reduce the costs to $1B per country and get us quite far

@@HappyfoxBiz Great thinking.

@@HappyfoxBiz it's a stomach wrenching shame bro, the possibilities...

@Fetus PC-TECH world war 2 was deviating to the world, Wernher von Braun wanted peace... Shame he was born under the wrong flag, wish he was Australian then America would have a fun time, we would have a heavy hitter scientist and you guys would have had your space tech decades earlier

If this was the BBC they would be pushing the narrative that Zimbabwe Robert Mugabe children where the rocket scientists behind Space Shuttle.

Agree. I wish I had my lap top in 1960s, I could have learnt more than the fkn useless teachers I had that called me stupid. I was a visual guy, I can follow this easily rather than a blackboard.

Nothing can beat the raw spectacle of the Saturn V ignition

@@cleverusername9369 No argument from me, I love that just as much.

The SSME was a license production of MBB (Messerschmidt-Bölkow-Blohm).

Another proof that it is all just a big circus................... and money fraud.

James May is actually very good at explaining engineering. You should try this website called KZfaq, its got a lot of his stuff on.

lol nice name btw biomechanism!

yes, Richard Hammond

lol yea Top Gear, ex-dude

you mean the guy from the most succesful tv show in history worldwide? yeah, thats him

@@rShadowFace true, top gear is going back to the old top gear before 2002 , very boring for me

Fun fact: Originally, the Space Shuttle had a two-stage fully-reusable winged flyback design, (some of which could do all the TAOS shuttle could) but those were too expensive for NASA's shoestring budget. Later, there were proposals for Evolved Shuttle involving liquid fuel boosters, wingtip fins and an ejectable crew deck, but NASA couldn't afford those either. #FundNASA

"It ain't brain surgery!" To which Jim Gaffigan wondered what brain surgeons would say... "It ain't like...trying to talk to women!" (From his 'Beyond the Pale' set.) XD

"Its not music theory"

They have a shirt at the cape where I live and is says “yes... it is” with the blueprints of the solid rocket booster. The engineers I know all wear that shirt

@@F82TwinMustang the real answer

It's the O-rings!

Flat earthers 🤣

I think this episode was from back when everyone was dazzled by the word "reusable" and there wasn't much discussion amongst the general public about the actual turnaround cost of the shuttle.

And yet it was able to do what other Space programs could only dream about doing :V

@@MidnightmoonRR And was able to spend an absurd amount of money that other space programs could only dream of spending.

@@MidnightmoonRR what exactly is that? exploding twice in the space of a few years, killing all aboard without any safety or escape mechanisms ?

@@parapobabam you think there aren't risks? theres always gonna be risks

Its a plane in timelapse video

Search the video _How to Land the Space Shuttle... from Space_ by *_Bret_* for an interesting and enjoyable description of the shuttle's landing procedure from the de-orbit burn to touchdown.

I’m glad you said this

And the way he pronounces aluminum. It's gives me an ice cream headache.

@@user-kn3cy1oz9x but it's aluminium for the rest of the world

Adriaan Verburg I cant remember how he says it but it’s pronounced A-Loo-Min-Nium in England

The Columbia did not go to the ISS on it's last mission. It was 14 days of pure science, not a delivery run to the ISS.

I saw a program where they knew about some damage to the tiles (by replaying video of the launch where they saw the ice strike the wing), but did not take it further because there was nothing they could do to repair it, nor rescue the crew. Sad but true.

Seriously, you're comparing a walk around on the ground to one in space, once again, seriously?

Instead of a walk-around, they used the robotic arm to inspect the TPS.

If not checked after flight how would one know how much damage air and rain & wind could have done? We always checked both before and after operation. Air Force.
