Rocket frame was a good move
Did they like, idk, measure the speed instead of just saying what it was?
Wow!
baller rocket. but…would the FAA like to have a word? (asking not being saecastic)
Never forget [the Congolese Troposphere program](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troposphere_(rocket_family))
I should rewatch October Sky
The sonic boom. What happened to the sonic boom?
The person that add the yellow text is stupid. Mach not mock
Homer!

He has a future at NASA….or Lockheed Martin
I wish I was this kid when I was a kid.
Lol love the Interstellar music
Mach 3.6 is 2,760 mph, faster than most military interceptors. The SR-71 Blackbird topped out at Mach 3.3 and cost $34 billion to develop.
I’m very curious about that launch set up and this short provides no answers on that.
Reminds me of the tech that was being used a while back with a university in Michigan that was launching weather instruments. I gotta try and find the video and leave it here. I remember they used that spiral launch stand and hit some crazy acceleration numbers.
I love the short form where no information is conveyed, subtitles mock mach by making it mock, and it basically just shows nothing, where it could have actually been cool and I could have learned something.
Instead I spend more time typing a response to…nothing. A nothing video. A reduction of a pretty amazing project, probably some really cool engineering (even though it’s nothing new, but a hell of a thing for the person doing it), and a great day that people took the time to record and edit, only for it to be cut down to bullshit.
Awesome!
The tip is pointy, I like it
Damn, that’s not a rocket, it looks like it got fired from the barrel of a rifle.
I really wish people would include the source on shit like this. The quality of the video makes it look like it was at least a few years back?
As soon as I heard his voice I knew it is gonna go boom
“Its not exactly brain surgery though is it?”
What’s the fuel?
I am not very experienced in this area but I have my L1 licence. That is extraordinarily fast and high for a rocket that size. I am very much doubting that his hopes for the speed and height are in any way accurate.
But maybe I’m wrong.
So, pointy *is* better?
