I think this would be the ONLY appropriate time to applaud when the pilot lands the aircraft.
@DCONightingale3 роки тому
Samael I’m not saying a pilot’s job is easy, I’m saying it’s routine. You don’t applaud when you arrive at your destination by car, do you? It’s not always easy to drive, and there are far more fatal hazards on the road than in the air. Driving a car is routine, flying a plane is routine (there are literally thousands of planes in the air all around the world right now), landing a space shuttle from 200 miles above the surface of the earth is science. Science that didn’t happen everyday, and is literally a hit or miss. If you miss your exit on the highway, get off at the next exit and turn around. If you’re coming in for a landing but the wind is a little too strong, go around and try another runway. If the space shuttle landing wasn’t executed perfectly, and missed the mark by even a fraction of a percent, there were no second chances.

But the "Pilot" does not land the shuttle any longer. It landed by itself. The ONLY interaction with the controls is to lower the landing gear at a certain time. And if the pilot does not execute on time the system will lower them anyway. A person has not flown the shuttle to landing in a long time.
@waaahl3 роки тому
@@stuartgray5877 You're wrong in saying the pilot/commander didn't fly the shuttle to landing. Almost all of the shuttle's approaches and landing were done manually. Also, the Space Shuttle program is ended, so no one has been flying it for quite some time, manually or otherwise.

@krazycatzРік тому
My late father Carl J. Brunswick worked for Rockwell International at the Santa Susana Pass location on the border of Los Angeles county and Ventura county from the 1950s until he retired in 1985 or 1986. As a child growing up I never knew exactly what my father’s job was at Rockwell International. The Cold War with the USSR was still going on at the time. My father and everyone who worked with him were required to sign documents that they would never discuss what they did upon penalty of death, outside of assigned locations. It was only a few years before his death in 2010 that he was able to tell his family some of the things he worked on. He was known as a troubleshooter. That meant whenever something went wrong it was his team that were to figure out what went wrong and fix it so it didn’t (hopefully) happen again. During his years at Rockwell International he worked on a number of different projects, from helping to build and test the engines that were on the rockets that went to the moon, to helping build the computer system that was on the first space shuttle. I’m sure my father would be happy that other people are still working together to help everyone on earth have a better understanding of space and our future in it.

@jrockett733 роки тому
Well, the last 30 years wasn't just about hauling cargo. The shuttle did many things to advance space flight wether you agree with the program or not. In order to build the ISS there had to be a platform so to speak. The shuttle provided that as it hauled the equipment, was a work shop to put it together and a safe area for the amount of people it hauled. It was also a platform to retrieve, fix and release satellites and prove new technologies. It was a testing ground for EVA's in space along with robotics. It was the beginning of new, reusable and lighter materials such as carbon fiber, insulation tiles. Fly by wire control systems was introduced by the program. Because it wasn't economically a success , some people call it a failure. Sometimes you have to do things wether its cost effective or not. My opinion only.

Fantastic video - serious question: with the gear deployed so late, I guess there's nothing they can do if it doesn't drop? And would that be catastrophic or would they survive it?
@Yazidn2 роки тому
It would be a catastrophic event, simply put. I read somewhere that there is a chance they might survive if the cargo bay was empty, only a chance though, since the shuttle is not designed to belly land.
@RichTCS2 роки тому
There’s no option for pulling up and circling around for a second landing attempt, so once they deorbit that’s it - they’re landing one way or the other. Fortunately the landing gear never failed in 133 landings!
@ronanbambrick98252 роки тому
I think the reason they drop the gear late is because of the drag that they can cause. For instance in many commercial airlines, pilots tend to pull the gear as soon as possible because of the large amounts of drag that they cause. I don’t know a hundred percent why the gear of the shuttle are dropped late. however, I think this the most likely reason

@@ronanbambrick9825 Watch STS-3. The gear was down and locked only a couple of seconds prior to contact.
@darthvader9969Рік тому
Right, there would be nothing they could do except to hold on. The reason why none of the landing gear failed was because they weren't powered by hydraulics or electricity, they were simply dropped, and gravity/wind resistance pulled them into place where they locked.

You must be young. The shuttle retired in 2011. Brilliant machine. I recommend reading up about the history of this beautiful machine. You will love it.
