See the launch itself at 9:00 in to the video. Space Shuttle Atlantis on a beautiful fall day. From T-9 to MECO



Plus the ISS, Few thousand tonnes.
oOo Number time
Well the main tank holds 539,400 US gal, and about half is used by T+30. The orbiter weighs ~240,000 lbs. at liftoff, total gross weight is ~4.4 million lbs, with total thrust ~6.8 million lbs! Or look at it this way, the shuttle must reach about 17,180 mph (7.68 Km/sec) or about Mach 23 to reach orbit and be free of atmospheric drag.
Consider too that over 4 million sensors are collecting data every second for analysis. I’m guessing she doesn’t run any form of WinOS
@iSahand 534,900 gal of fuel in the external tank (LOX and H2) and 435,000 pounds of solid fuel in the boosters.

Dear All,
I have some questions about psychology:
(1) Why do we love space travel?
(2) Why do we want to explore the space?
(3) Why do we enjoy the feeling of zero gravity and floating in space?
(4) what is the social value(s) represented by space exploration?
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE for your creative ideas and brainstorm!!!
I WANNA GO TO SPACE SO BAD XD
Guys, I sincerely don’t think this is entirely in favor for the human kind
