Is there any video of the entire process from inside the shuttle? Like documented evidence from liftoff all the way to the time they leave upper atmosphere and dock with ISS? Btw ISS is travelling at 17500 miles per hour, speed of sound is 767 miles per hour. ISS is almost 23 times faster than speed of sound. How does the shuttle reach such speed and then docks in the near vacuum with no issues whatsoever?

It' not like they shoot the rocket straight up. They go at angle so they can get at rougly the same orbit, which means they will have the same velocity. Then from there they fine tune the orbit to get closer to the spacestation. Then they dock.

Yeah, I know how it works, what I'm saying is its bullshit. The reason you see rockets go at an angle, and you should notice that that angle is always towards the sea/ocean, is because no rocket goes out in outer space, it just goes over the sea and then either dropped into it, or brought down and recycled, kinda like what Musk has came up with.

Not an argument.

Because there is no air in the way to cause friction and response,, “Sound” after all in the interaction of an object with air, pushing the air,away. And remember the people in the ship will have NO feeling of movement since they are going as fast as the ship,

You are right, but that doesn't address the issue of ridiculous speeds.

Speed is relative.

If they were both moving at 1 mile an hour in space on the same arc of travel ... do you think it would be easier?

Anyways to answer your question I’d say : computers.

It shows in the video they “waited” or tailed each other until the sun no longer could interfere with an IR sensor so they could link with the same sensor on the ISS and then the computers could figure all further math required to make the dock perfect.

If space is what they claim it to be, IE vacuum, then no it wouldn't. However reaching 1mph and 17500mph are 2 different things! There have been a lot of questionable videos released by NASA themselves, that put the whole "Space travel" sham in place. Try to research bubbles in space. Official nasa videos show bubbles forming and moving upwards (in outer space, or during a space walk). With no official nasa rebuttal.

Elledar, You can see the iss with a regular telescope. You think they just threw that up there to appease any one with an optic so they can continue pretending we have space ability?

C’mon mannnn

Just because you can see something in the sky, doesn't mean it is what you are being told it is. I know we can see something up there with the telescope, this doesn't mean there are people on that something.

THIS.

Just take a look for youself.

Bro. It is ok to question anything. But this are private companies, with lots of normal people working there. And yes there was full video from start to finish. It all makes sense from a physics standpoint. Maybe is ok for someone to think that the moon landing was faked. But this is not. Just accept it.

Just because these are private companies doesn't mean anything. All those people there working on what they think is docking sequence for shuttle and ISS, but all of them are compartmentalised and they are just looking at the numbers on the screen. They can think they are doing what they believe they are doing. But in reality they could be lied to just like the rest. Have you seen videos taken from ISS? Total bullshit CGI.

ISS is in the low Earth orbit, at about 408 km. Earth's atmosphere technically stretches out as far as 630,000 km. Even outer space is not completely empty.

As for the speeds involved, there's a reason they employ legions of eggheads to figure this stuff out, it takes complex math to pull it off. That's what rocket science is. Also, computers.

Outer space is 3 particles per meter cubed. At the height of 408 km the atmosphere can be neglected for mathematical purposes.

Yes, and those eggheads are strictly compartmentalised, so they themselves don't know shit they are doing apart from crunching the numbers that are in front of them.
