Great video and soundover!

Just launch the damned thing. 90% fluff, 10% flight.

More re-usable than NASA’s version 😂

Every thing with this video was AWSOME .I still have the rocket i made and launch when was 11

Model rocketry has come so far since my days with Estes kits in the 60's. A special fireworks license was required and we could only shoot rockets on an unused part of the artillery range at Ft. Lewis Washington.

Friggin' awesome!

This is so much cheaper than launching the larger space shuttles. NASA take note...

That's really neat. Unfortunately I live right next to a AFB and there is nowhere you can shoot rockets... :(

Awesome tribute ❤

and the rest?? $ide boosted parachute deployment and shuttle gliding bk to earth😅

Its a good lunch shuttle

Incredible, nice work 😊

Hey look, a really bad joke.

Nice!

My rocketry period was back in the 70's. I know how I felt launching my multi-month build of the Saturn V. GREAT job with the production and rocket! Neat Pete!

I have the original version. Plastic orbiter, not styrofoam, and wooden guide fins.

The real is off order 😂😂😂 Only in Hollywood 😂😂😂

The narration is lame

Did crew survive? No.. all died on impact.

Aussi captivant et stressant qu'un vrai décollage !!! :)

Nicely done!

Sweet video! Love the Rush background music. Well thought out and produced. Kudos!

When I hear "Challenger, go at throttle up", I get sad.... ☹

And the best background music in a video goes to……

I am disappointed it did explode like the real thing

The level of acceleration of that Space Shuttle would kill everyone onboard instantly. NASA wants to offer you a 45 billion dollar contract to develop the next SLS rocket after seeing this video.

Rush in the background..launch cant go wrong

Very nice launch and flight! Love your launch platform. 😄 I've built this kit twice - once when it first came out in the '70s/early '80s, and a later reissue, which is now a shelf queen. Looks like they've updated it since then to include a foam body for the Orbiter. Mine were both vacu-form, and it was a pain in the butt. This looks much easier to deal with!

Nice Job !! 👍

Class backing tune, got to love a bit of Rush!

PDQ (Pretty Damn Quick)!... what scale is it?🚀

At T-60 seconds there will be a 1 minute hold in the count to replace launch controller batteries and reattach an igniter clip. Range Safety has cleared a curious dog from the launch complex and has given a GO for launch. Recovery crews are standing by to recover the booster should its parachute meet a rocket eating tree. This is Shuttle Launch Control.

Nice blockhouse, errr,,, doghouse.

Could it be possible to put a small servo in it to controll the landing?

My 1st Saturn V was the Estes 1:232 (?) scale kit which flew on A,B, or C motors. I still have the rocket though the plastic glue on fins are gone. But, I modified the model to take the plastic fins that came with the Titan II model rocket I still fly her

Great video!

I wonder what Rush would think of this little toy remake?

I always wondered if these old classic ESTES models actually worked. It's amazing it actually flies. This video deserves way more views.

Excellent choice for the music! Long time Rush fan here.

Clever

Where did you get this version of the song with no vocals ? It’s excellent

I still have the 1:232 scale Estes shuttle, from the late 70s. It's a shelf queen now, because the plastic used has grown frail and brittle. This video convinced me to get this new version.

Fantastic 😊.

Great job! I love the way you edited the audio so smoothly to cover countdown, launch, and landing.

Wow! Very nicely done. Congratulations from Manitoba, Canada.

Nice video work. That's a tall challenge for a small fast moving object! That tripod and blast shield are exactly what i remember using in the early 70's when i was 10yrs old!

COOL!

Great music!

It’s wonderful to see this fly again after these many years. Mine flew many many flights with no drama. I eventually retired it for display. Thank you for sharing. Jim

That was just so cool. Love your launch tower. I used to fly Estes rockets 50 years ago. Still looks like fun, to me.
