Oct 25, 2009 - ***Spoiler Alert*** sorry guys but this is fake and i can easily explain how they did it (very well done though congrats) it's a miniature model over a blue screen, and have cleverly used google earth as the back drop, and slowly zooming out :) Well done but i not that stupid

Oct 25, 2009 - Camera is not installed for disasters. Its used to document foam shedding off the ET in case it hits the orbiter.

Oct 30, 2009 - the space shuttle is stupid because tiles can fall off and hit its wings... The Apollo program was superior in every way, why we haven't been back to the Moon or to Mars is beyond me.. now we are just stuck in Earth orbit

Oct 30, 2009 - amazing. I bet that ten years from now, people will look back onto this footage and say "LOL!!! THAT'S HOW WE DID IT BACK THEN!!!"

mach25man Says:

Oct 30, 2009 - No tiles fell off and hit any wing. When did this happen ? Nasa did what it could with the money given to the program. When they went to the moon their budget was 6 times what it is today in 1960 dollars.
