This man literally spent most of the summer teaching us about the space shuttle, respect for this man

I'm an aerospace engineer, with several spacecraft designs and flight missions under my belt in ca 20 years of career. So I can tell you this: man, you good. Loved the Apollo series, but with the Shuttle you're hitting a new level! Respect

2:08 Despite being "as tall as a 38-story building", the VAB is technically a 1-story building. It holds the world record for being the tallest building with only one floor.

Jared, I just wanted you to know that my 4-year-old son LOVES your videos. He is such a curious kid who is always asking about how things work, so I was thrilled when I found your videos because they contained simple, yet thorough explanations. He walks around and tells me about all of the things that “Jared has taught him”, and when he explains the same things to strangers he meets in public, they look at him in shock because they can’t believe a 4-year-old would know so much about these subjects. 😅 I’m thinking about taking him to Seattle one day so we can visit the Space Needle. I know he would be thrilled to be inside, but I can already hear him warning me, “Remember, Mom, only the floor is spinning. So if you put your belongings on the side, you’ll slowly spin away from them.” 😂

There should be a petition for him to explain how the falcon 9 works

Whoever dislikes this man's effort, you must reevaluated your life

I was glued! One of the best narrated, space shuttle breaks downs, along with demonstration and graphics which was clean and clear. Amazing work 😊👍🏻

Another fun fact I learned at Space Academy in Huntsville, AL is the reason the Main Engines fire at T-6 seconds is because they are angled slightly (note the gimble test earlier). The angle of them causes the whole structure to tilt when they fire and the structure then rights itself. It takes approximately 6 seconds for the structure to come back to vertical so it's pointing straight up when the SRBs fire. If you watch old videos of shuttle launches you can see the "twang" that happens with the main engine ignition.

Oms: orbital maneuvering system Also the shuttle rolled for 2 main reasons. 1) so the communication antennas weren't obstructed by the tank 2) the more complicated item was the flight azimuth. Basically you need to go in 3 dimensions to get to space. That's very complex math for the computers. Rolling to get the right angle removes 1 direction to manage. Now its only height and distance to calculate. Simplifies the computations for the computers to get into orbit.

"Once inside the animation video, Jared Owen would literally crawl all over to edit and add effects to the work to upload the next video. This process can take several months to complete. This is part of the reason why Jared Owen's content is so marvellous

I love how he doesn’t just show us cool 3D animations he also teaches us a little about history science and technology.

Constant thought- How is this video available for free ? Work of a genius!

Hi Jared, This is incredible. It's answered so many questions I had about the space shuttle launch. And to imagine you put in so much time to research it. Keep them coming. Warmly Egan

I really dislike social media. YouTube is the only one I do,and not for much longer, but it's videos like these that I really enjoy tyvm for sharing this.the people that made this vehicle, and what it was capable of doing is absolutely incredible.there are some very intelligent people on earth,im glad they came together to give us this.

Video idea: How does the Kennedy Space Center work? (Launchpads, VAB, different facilities etc.)

I was a fan of Jared Owen I suggest one of future videos : -Soviet Moon rocket N1-L3 disaster -About the Baikonur Cosmodrome at Kazakhstan

I don't know how or why you started making these videos, but I am very thankful that you make them. I really appreciate what you're doing! Thank you!

This guy actually deserves a lot of respect and more subs than he has right now. Watching his videos is much better than wasting our time on social media, etc. This truly has helped enhance my knowledge. A moment of silence to appreciate him...

Extra fun facts about the SRBs: At the top, surrounded by solid fuel, is a carbon composite structure shaped like an asterisk (*). This structure burns with the solid propellant, and it makes the propellant around it burn a little faster. However, it burns up entirely in about thirty seconds, and the burn rate slows back down to normal after that. This creates the effect of throttling down the boosters by reducing the amount of thrust they create. The composite structure is sized perfectly so it burns up completely right at max-q. I like this idea because it's a clever way to reduce the thrust when they need to without anything too crazy. Another cool fact is that they were going to make different, lighter, newer boosters for flights out of Vandenberg, but those were cancelled after the Challenger disaster, which was one of the many nails in the coffin of the Shuttle-Vandenberg idea.
