Let's Manually Launch The Space Shuttle in Orbiter 2010
Welcome back to Orbiter 2010! Due to popular demand, I am going to disable the autopilot launch sequence and try to control Space Shuttle Atlantis by hand during a launch. This is extremely difficult, as not even the real astronauts control a space shuttle during launch. Spoilers: Instead of achieving a proper earth orbit, I end up parked in the median of the 528 Tollway. Can someone call me a tow truck?
If you'd like to try yourself, you can get Orbiter here: http://orbit.medphys.ucl.ac.uk/
The launch audio I simultaneously played is from this amazing in-cockpit video of a space shuttle launch: http://youtu.be/_vLl3K8yzOk
Watch the progress of the current space shuttle mission, STS-134, including spacewalks, live on NASA TV: http://www.nasa.gov/ntv
