You’re ‘flirting’ …
You’re ‘flirting’ with nonsense

when it going faster than sound, lol, in this case “flirting” with the barrier

Rocket smoke. …
Rocket smoke. Since when does cloud stick to stuff? Anyway it’s going like 1000+

cause is high …
cause is high enough not to need any extra engines! the gravity there is low

there just bosters …
there just bosters for the first part they help break the sound barriger then the jetasen crash into the ocean then it carries on with its main engines

The shuttle gets to …
The shuttle gets to space because there are engines on the shuttle itself. And it might have something to do with the fact that there is less gravitational pull?

They land in the …
They land in the ocean in front of new smyrna beach, fl just a few miles north of the lauch pad. the shuttle keeps accelerating under its own power in space after booster seperation!

after seperation …
after seperation the boosters fall back into the ocean below, the shuttle powers its 3 main engines for a short period of timr till its in low orbit, the big orange fuel tank is dumped at that stage that orbits the earth then burns up in the atmosphere, and no the white vapor clouds around the shuttle have no connection with being supersonic, just a drop in air pressure

Where do the rocket boosters land? and how does the shuttle keep flying towards space?

apollo 13 was the …
apollo 13 was the fastest vehicle to reenter the atmosphere. I may be wrong but I think it was between 30 or 40000 kph

breaking the sound …
breaking the sound barrier occurs at about 760mph @ sea level. For the shuttle to go into orbit it needs to reach about 18000mph.

sweet some sed …
sweet some sed that it dont go fast enuf to break the sound barrier wat a total tard this is my proof thnx

Nominal separation …
Nominal separation of solid rocket boosters (SRB), i don’t see anything wrong.
In this launch the sound’s barrier breaking is more evident due to high humidity in the air.
Sometimes is barely visible, sometimes more.
Nice one.

i thought they could only break sound barrier on re-entry

About 8 1/2 minutes …
About 8 1/2 minutes into the flight of a Space Shuttle, the engines are disengaged. At that point in its trajectory, the Shuttle is traveling about 7,000 meters per second at an altitude of 110,000 m. What is the Shuttle’s Mach number? If we again look at the Mach 1 vs. altitude tables, we see that the speed of sound at 110,000 m is 300.7 m/s. When we divide 7,000 m/s by 300.7 m/s, we find that the Space Shuttle is traveling at Mach 23.3, or 23.3 times the speed of sound at that altitude.

Wasn’t that the …
Wasn’t that the explosion from detaching the side rockets? Of course i oculd be wrong but, that’s just my opinion, Anyway it’s quite larger then the normal explosion so it could easily be a sonic boom.

lol i was wrong aha …
lol i was wrong aha i thort it only broke the soundbarrier when re-entering so yeh i was whey wrong and here is the proof lol i feel stupid but yeh i was wrong and the shuttle is the fastest veichal (wrong spelling) in the world when re entering and that is a fact
August 3rd, 2009
seriously people, …
seriously people, whoever says the shuttle doesn’t break the sound barrier is talking absolute … the OLD saturn rockets even broke the barrier in under 1 minute… it reaches about 24/25 times the speed of sound before reaching space
August 3rd, 2009
plus… how ing …
plus… how ing long would it take to get to space from the ground if you went slower than the speed of sound??
August 3rd, 2009
LOLOLOLOLOLOL! your …
LOLOLOLOLOLOL! your talking crap! it reaches about 17,500mph just before it leaves the atmosphere, thats about mach 24 ya know? 24 times the speed of sound!!!!!! dont talk rubbish
