Tested Visits the Space Shuttle Enterprise
During our visit to the Intrepid Museum in New York, we came face to face with the Space Shuttle Enterprise and learned how NASA’s tests on the Orbiter prototype paved the way for all the other Orbiters that followed. We were just not prepared for the incredible size of the Shuttle.

I was very fortunate to grow up in central Florida and be able to see the space shuttle launches from my house.
Amazing video again!
Is there a lot more videos from the Intrepid left in the pipeline?
Hopefully you have one of these in the hopper for the Concorde.
Great video, but it’s an orbiter,not a Space Shuttle. It is only a Space Shuttle when everything is attached.
When I was a kid (6th grade) I saw it on the launchpad while taking the bus tour at Cape Canaveral, they were testing the armature or something. I was really into the Space program as a child and I lost it when I saw that. I thought (rightfully so) the shuttles were not scheduled to launch for years but I thought it was going to take off while I was watching 🙂
I have to make sure to see it again if I ever go to NY, I’m sure she’ll remember me 🙂
do they let people touch it?
NOPE.
I still want our shuttle back… It was nice to have it in DC.
Did they have to chop the vertical stabilizer to get it to fit in the ship?
So cool. Great job guys.
it’s not in the ship, it’s on the deck under a tent.
Great video! the curator has so many interesting stories
Truly a marvel of modern engineering.
As a resident Canadian, I’m obligated to give a shout-out to good ol’ Canadarm whenever speaking about space vehicles.
Oh, that makes more sense… the shuttle is huge and I didnt think it would fit inside the carrier.
Norm… did you lick the Enterprise?
Heck yeah! Go Canadarm!
This is the one thing I will always regret in life, never seeing a launch in person.
Great video.
So much great content lately! Keep up the great work, guys!
Ah the prototype! this is awesome!
, , oh you guys! Teasing Enterprise in the Intrepid video… Almost made me sad, then I saw this! So amazing, so incredibly beautiful. There are so many things that are mind blowing about this vehicle, for one thing it is still beautiful and it was made “long ago”.
I loved the discussion on the shuttles heat shield tiles and it’s abilities in regards to heat.
Made me think how awesome it would be just to own a bit of those tiles.
Well. Guess what I found at my local thrift store in the middle of Germany for 1 EURO =D
