Landing the Space Shuttle


Quote:
What It Feels Like To Land The Space Shuttle - Space Shuttle - Jalopnik

The Space Shuttle approaches earth backwards at approximately 18,000 mph before turning nose-down towards home. This incredible video shows what it's like to glide to Earth after slowing to 700 mph. The landing gear is jarringly loud.

What It Feels Like To Land The Space Shuttle
This is the shuttle Atlantis landing at Edwards Air Force Base after shuttle mission STS-98, a mission to deliver the Destiny Lab to the International Space Station.
HOLY CRAP!!!!!
