Endeavour's last flight ever- STS-134
Watch Live!

EDIT: Just so you know, it's supposed to be spelled with a U, but NASA once forgot. Wikipedia's ref

The person just said that just 18 seconds after launch, it will have a velocity of more than 1000mph!

It's crazy how much they spent on these shuttles over the years- multimillion dollar craft and only in flight for a year total.

Just 20 minutes until STS-134 launches!!

Lol, we are the United States, where we can't afford to spend millions of dollars to send 7 people into space. XD

Hmm, you'll have to bring that up with the government. See why they're doing it. XD

Some stats I heard/saw:
The booster rockets used 11K pounds of fuel a second!
The main tanks used fuel at a rate of emptying a backyard swimming pool in 25 seconds!
It was going at 13500 mph!
On the HD view, it went from more than 111K viewers to less than 100K in just a few seconds after the launch!

Watching replays now. tongue

Thanks for the link Sci! I would have missed it if you wouldn't have put it there! I love watching the replays.

LOL at this: They spelled it "Endeavor" there. NASA chose Endeavour to name it after some British ship.

Only ONE MORE NASA Space Shuttle launch EVER: STS-135!

fire219 · 2011-05-16 17:04:09

yikes I missed a Shuttle Launch?!? sad

Yup, only 1 more launch left ever. sad

I make model rockets (small rockets that are like 1-3 feet tall, and use blackpowder motors), and I made a scale model of the shuttle awhile back. Maybe I should launch it on the same day as STS-135. I should video tape it, and post it online here. smile

brettman98 · 2011-05-16 17:06:56

I saw it.

Well, I think the government wants NASA to go to Mars- that's something really worth watching!

Would be really cool to launch your own rocket with STS-135; why don't you call it Atlantis Jr.? tongue
I'll make a different thread when the next one launches though.

It was all "routine" though each shuttle launch is unique. big_smile

I watched for about an hour before; I saw the astronauts getting in and the shuttle being loaded and closed. big_smile
