kerbalyeeter40 Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 So, supposedly, during the STS-80 mission, Story Musgrave recorded the entire re-entry with a camcorder, standing. I would like to see this footage, however i have been unable to find it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gargamel Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 (edited) Guarantee you he wasn’t standing. Edit: Well, I should know better than to doubt a Story Musgtave tale. Apparently he did it on both STS-6 & 80. Still haven’t found the video though. Edited December 12, 2023 by Gargamel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cubinator Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 (edited) The first shot in the "Landing" section at the very end of this (48:30) might be a small part of it, I can't tell for sure though. It's just a shot of the atmosphere, apparently rotating about a bit as the Shuttle maneuvered. Edited December 12, 2023 by cubinator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One wonders if it hasn't been released in full for OSHA related reasons, ha. Standing while shuttle decelerates at 2 gravities and engulfed in plasma may call for a hefty fine, by golly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone's selling a still of it online for $500, though, it must be possible to find it somewhere. Typically this NASA stuff is free to the public, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should I be so bold as to suggest they might also release it globally for the rest of us to enjoy? IDK how precisely one has to identify the stuff they request in the USA, but here in my country the information in this thread is sufficient that the officials are required by law to help identify the exact document.

Awesome. Sadly said site does not open for me. Not without a VPN at least and I have too much going on to dive into that too. So I could not have found that out by myself.

Gargamel Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 Kind of an aside, but In my research for this, apparently him standing up is talked about in these oral histories: https://historycollection.jsc.nasa.gov/JSCHistoryPortal/history/oral_histories/AllenJP/allenjp.htm The March 18th interview supposedly. I skimmed the 35 pages of it, but I’m at work and missed it. But there is a lot of good stuff in those interviews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awog Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 A small amount of the footage is in this video at about 14:14. I'm sure there's more footage though. I even looked through the NASA media library but couldn't find it there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
