Totaly true hell make it 15

Anders Lennqvist true very true

ROFL I was going to make nearly the same comment and yours was the first in line. Dang it!! LOL Shoot I'd go as high as $25 or $30 to ride that to the bottom. I remember the first IMAX film I watched was about the shuttle. They took the camera in the basket and watching it on the HUGE screen actually goofed with my brain a little. That would be sooooo cool.

I'd pay $100.00

😂😂

Or maybe this is a better way to thread a belt, only we don't know it yet, it takes time for the space program innovations to reach the general public.

*and spacex

Dragon is from SpaceX

@Felix Gieles yes, but he’s said the new dragon CREWS, which is NASA astronauts, not employed by spacex.

@@stewartj3407 To be fair, we should see commercial passengers on the dragon in a short time, so it won't be just NASA crews.

It’s crew dragon

F P I guess you missed the part where they took manuel control over their vehicle and flew it themselves...

Triffty they still manuel piloted their craft for a time. Part of their official title is literally test pilots...

​@F P You are confusing the terms "Astronauts" and "pilots", but first of all the two Astronauts that flew in the last Dragon capsule are NASA Astronauts that previously flew to space several times with the space shuttle, so even by your "criteria" they are Astronauts, second, from Wikipedia: "an Astronaut is a person trained by a human spaceflight program to command, pilot, or serve as a crew member of a spacecraft", so nobody said an Astronaut must pilot the spacecraft in order to be called an Astronaut, and in fact most of the astronauts that flew into space didn't actually piloted the craft. Astronauts job is to go into space and perform different tasks or experiments, how big is their part in piloting the craft that takes them into space is not relevant for them to be called Astronauts.

Not likely. But you'd really be glad it was there if you needed it.

not only that but the wires are connected to the Launch pad, which even if they got into the baskets, im not certain in an emergency how long the launchpad would "exist" to hold up those wires.

rob mausser Yeah, it seems like a lot of NASA safety plans were half to make everyone feel better about having options, and half so it's there in the tiny chance it's needed.

@@Studio23Media absolutely. It was a "congress pleaser" aka when government says "you have to do something so it looks like we care about the Challenger accident."

Nasa know’s if it helps they would not just put it there for decoration

During launch the crew is wearing pressure suits, not full spacesuits, like the spacewalk one. They are designed to act as an internal atmosphere if there is cabin depressurization.

coolguyjoe99 ye, but wouldn’t it still be significantly more difficult to get their legs up and over? Cuz the pressure suit still is restricting

@@ryonotrio6904 No, the launch/landing suits are escape rated

coolguyjoe99 huh. Didn’t know. Cheers coolguy

My guess, is that either they transport them on a normal truck and then lift them using crane. Or attach battery powered motor to it temporararily, and roll it up on its own power. I do not see any other way.

Winch on the tower, runs a cable out that hangs on rollers and runs down the main cable. Hook the cable to the basket once it gets down to the landing area and then release the brake on the basket before pulling it back to the 195' level.

There's a switch just like the one up top. When you hit it it goes back up.

Rogue Ldr1123 Yeah climb in it and pull on the steel wire 😂 If you let go halfway then you have to redo it from start 😂

don't be

George Mallory Everyone there know there’s 0 chance of surviving an emergency during launch but they somehow find comfort in pretending there is

@Nathan Lynch its very, very close to 0 percent chance of survival. There was no launch abort system at all, there was no quick way of getting away from the craft, there was a lot of time still spent on the launch tower before you could get away from the shuttle, so if the propellant ignited you would likely have been blown to pieces. A Soyuz on the other hand, if something goes wrong they simply fire the escape tower which pulls the ascent module high enough for parachutes to function, and you end up a large distance from the rocket in a short amount of time

Wow - how funny! How bloody backwards facing must you be?

He probably thinks the Earth is flat too

T. Lane succesful bait. I salute u bro

Nice b8 m8

Shes in charge of the space laundry
