The Shuttle's Last Flight | An End. A New Beginning.

Ten years ago, the last shuttle mission (STS-135) dropped out of the predawn darkness and landed at Kennedy's Shuttle Landing Facility Runway 15 for the final time.
Over the course of the more than eight days, Commander Chris Ferguson, Pilot Doug Hurley, and Mission Specialists Sandy Magnus and Rex Walheim had spent much of their time delivering a stockpile of supplies and parts to the space station.
The end of their mission aboard Atlantis may have been the end of the shuttle era, but it was the beginning a new stage of exploration.

What a beautiful video, I love the space shuttle story. I'm Adriano, 17 years old, I live in Brazil. I'm sure the images shown in this video, especially of all space shuttle launches, are definitely the most beautiful images I've ever seen in my life. It's a shame to think that this project has come to an end. I'm sure others like me cry like this child with this video. My dream is without a doubt to know all the space shuttles, it will be a historic memento for me, if not the most special one. Soon I'll do a Discovery tattoo, which is undoubtedly my favorite. Thank you all who were part of this story, even as a simple admirer, I feel that since the astronauts the entire team that made this happen, you deserve the world, you made history and this story will never be erased, me, the united states and the world thank you for what you have accomplished, thank you < 3

@spacexishorriblepleasedeleteit Жыл бұрын

@@rikvermar7583 The US never won the Space Race. The Soviet Union won. If you look at the beginnings, the goal was set of putting a man into orbit around the Earth, hence the term the Space Race. Once Yuri Gagarin accomplished this, the US never wanted to admit that they lost to the "commies". To "beat" the Soviet Union, they changed the goal to landing a man on the Moon. It was not called the "Moon Race", it was called the "Space Race", which is just another reason why Yuri Gagarin won the race for the Soviet Union. They were not challenging the US with the Buran, they were simply trying to advance human exploration and discovery further. I do not have to imagine what achievements could have been made without the rift, because after the Shuttle retired in 2011, everybody launched from the Soyuz out of Kazakhstan. The Soyuz did great things, and thankfully, it's still out there to perform more science.

I watched STS 135 launch from Jetty Park near the space center. Watched every day as the crew worked on the ISS.. Imagine how awesome it was to learn that Atlantis would be swooping right over my home in Naples on her way back to the cape! I had just purchased my first smartphone so we had NASA TV on the beach! It was just before dawn and we could see the shuttle with our own eyes as it passed over Cuba. With one last sonic boom we watched as she passed overhead, following her with our eyes all the way. As the shuttle glided over Orlando she dropped from the sky like a "flying brick", touchdown, parachutes deployed, home safe, an era had come to an end. Thanks for the ride! ❤

I remember the first shuttle launch. I was 6 years old, and not quite old enough to grasp the greatness and impact our unique American achievement would have on our history and mankind. But I grew up in the shuttle era, cheering its successes, mourning its losses, and wondering often, "what comes after?" I've enjoyed watching NASA and our country making a comeback in space exploration with Spaces and Crew Dragon...and I'm beyond thrilled to be part of a generation that brings us back to the moon to call it home. And I get to share it with my kids and grandkids. And, God willing, I will be there with my family watching the first human stepping foot on Mars.

The Space Shuttle was truly a sight to behold on takeoff, orbit, and landing. It's honestly a bit sad to see them go to monuments. But the space shuttle monuments will never let us forget all the memories the space shuttle made over the past 30 years. We're all going to remember Space Shuttles Columbia, Challenger, Endeavour, Discovery, and Atlantis throughout history to which they were a major part of.
