🚨 THAT 12FT ROCKET ISN'T A TOY - IT'S M-CLASS He's loading a reloadable solid motor, that red casing pushes 1000s of Newtons. 🚀 Onboard cam + dual parachute recovery = same tech real space companies test. 🪂

Just like the Estes that I played with as a kid, only a whole lot bigger. Lots of fun.

They could add another ring with them that has a delayed firing timing, so that it kicks in before the first are empty.

1000 N is only 225 lbf....in case you were wondering.

Did you record the archived altitude? The flight trajectory was spot-on.

He looks like he’s being really careful. Except he’s not wearing proper clothing and shoes. If he’s not wearing all cotton and shoe that are self grounding, then he could be building up a static electric charge that can initiate the fuse or possibly the propellant.

gets me motivated to build some rockets again... bet i can make them self steering using a fpv cam and board and integrate Ai for navigation...

fun fact, the smoke trail is wasted energy. Develop a plumeless propellant and get an endless supply of money with multiple billions of dollars from the pentagon.

Ethan Thornton on manufacturing solid rocket motors: "It's very challenging because you're manufacturing millions of pounds of explosives. Essentially, that's what solid rocket motors are… By the time you light them, you don't really have any control. We basically just light it, and it either works or it doesn't. And when it doesn't work, it is usually quite kinetic. One of the things that's hard is you're getting all this precursor shipped to you. At scale, millions to tens of millions of pounds of explosives. So right now we're retrofitting about 200 bunkers that we're renting out to be able to store this stuff. The way we got here, we actually acquired a company called Exquadrum. I generally hate doing acquisitions. In this specific case, just the licensing to do this sort of stuff would have taken five years. Jet engines are plumbing, solid rocket motors are baking. You mix this dough. You pour it into the casing. It's a very specific arduous arts and craftsy process. One of the big things is how do you get every human out of the loop that you possibly can. We're aiming to be able to do hundreds of thousands a year in the coming two years or so. The single biggest rate limiting factor on production of systems like this will be warheads, and it will be solid rocket motors. Right now all the precursor for a lot of this stuff is made at one facility in the U.S. that's bought out like three years. So this isn't a build thing. This is a supply chain effort."
