SPACE SHUTTLE The complex machine

  • The most complex machine ever built in the space shuttle, that has more than 2.5 million parts, including almost 370km of wire.
  • If the shuttle's main engine pumped water instead of fuel, they would drain an average-sized swimming pool every 25 secons.
  • The temperature inside the shuttle's main engine and solid rockets reach more than 6,000 degrees, higher than the boiling point of iron.
  • Yet the main engine's fuel, liquid hydrogen is the second coolest liquid on Earth at minus 423 degree.
  • A minor mistake in the space shuttle will led to the blast of whole mission, costing around 125 crore rupees!
