Getting old should be exciting, not daunting. The less time we have to live in this mentally fucked up world, the better. Who would honestly want to continue seeing the world go downhill? I, for one, cannot wait to pass & move on to my next life

Easily the most badass old man on youtube. Hauling ass around the desert on a glowing hot rocket, one hand on the steering wheel, beard flapping in the wind and not a seat belt in sight. Man I hope I'm that cool when I'm your age!
Sometimes I find myself walking through life feeling like I don't know what it's meant for. Then I see videos like this and realize that it's meant to be enjoyed and you are supposed to have as much fun as you can while you can! Love your videos!
The same person who put the laws in on which such epic engine relies to run, upon which it is built, the same Creator has a plan and purpose for your life. Seek Him and you will find Him, ask Him and He will answer, knock and He will open. He did not leave us to our destruction, but came into the flesh in Jesus to make all things new. The reason we find ourselves in meaninglessness is because we are far from home, far from our home with God the Father. That's why He sent His only begotten Son, that we may find our home again, and our Father, through His Son, Christ Jesus. Amen
To survive to old age, to tinker to his heart’s delight, and experience pure unbridled joy, is dope as hell and experienced by far too few. Old guys rule!
But that's his thing! I dont know if itd be the same. Guy is the greatest loonie I know (And if you're reading this Sir I mean that with the most respect possible). It just adds how crazy awesome he is

Failure looks to be in the welds to the brackets holding up the tail-end of the pipes. They just received more heat than planned from the hot propane mix.

I think It would be good to add some sort of coolling system (like those little tubes with a sort of very cold liquid that goes around Rocket thrusters) on the engine ir at least on the parts more prone to melting. I would be happy to get a second opinionon that for i don't know crap abput pulse engines (Sorry for bad english or vulgar language, i used to use Google translate on the Google keyboard but somehow they made the AI worse in the last update).

that was insane. the helmet he was wearing can be easily purchased here in Asia for motorcyclist at a very affordable price ($30-40). While it's a thrill watching Crazy Rocketman speed through with minimal protection, I can't imagine if he accidentally flipped and burnt by those ember exhausts. Loved the experimental spirit !

1. Engine is red hot ✅ 2. Nice style ✅ 3. No seatbelt ✅ 4. Steering with one hand ✅ 5. Holding camera on the second without losing it ✅ 6. Switching camera to other side ✅ 7. Risk of severe burn ✅ 8. Constant turns without falling ✅ 9. Tires survived the heat ✅ Yeah that wouldn't be me
Failure diagnostics: 1:55 all four exhaust tubes are visible. 2:01 you can see the back exhaust tube slowly falling. The heat didn't melt the steel tubes, it just made them so hot that they entered the superplastic or ductile area, just like when forging steel. Given their length, weight and vibrations, it's no wonder they bent down like hot candy! It 'only' took them nearly two minutes to collapse and you kept driving with them bent almost longer than when they were straight! Ahahahha epic! Ignorance is bliss! A simple support frane or a suspension cable would hold them up next time- minimum effort for maximum efficiency :) Excellent video!
your voice sounds younger than you are. Some say that's a good sign. and I agree. your heart is still young and full of adventure. not many people have that over the age of 40.
I genuinely love this man. I'm sat here right now just laughing at the shear audacity this man had to just go out and live life with nothing stopping him . All so can we all admire the engineering here
Your only as old as you feel, I have always said ever since I was 10 years old that I was going to live for 250 years, well I am 1/3 of the way there and feel like I am in my 20s, So I say keep living your dreams, there is a lot more people with you than you may think. "Thank You"
That moment when the ethereal sounds burst from the pipes and he is working some controls like an EDM magician before I presume he is about to blast off in his self created sci-fi vehical is low-key better than any movie I've seen in years
Rocketman, I really enjoy your work and especially your enthusiasm. It's good to see someone enjoying what they do and you certainly have fun on every run. Sorry you lost a motor but I'm sure you already have plans for a new one. Ride safe.

Love this stuff! Illuminating the salt flats with a pulse jet... hahaha! Too cool.
Mad Max at full speed!!!! Superb!!!
Guy was burning so much fuel his engine melted, what a lad!
Failure diagnostics:
1:55 all four exhaust tubes are visible.
2:01 you can see the back exhaust tube slowly falling.
The heat didn't melt the steel tubes, it just made them so hot that they entered the superplastic or ductile area, just like when forging steel. Given their length, weight and vibrations, it's no wonder they bent down like hot candy! It 'only' took them nearly two minutes to collapse and you kept driving with them bent almost longer than when they were straight! Ahahahha epic! Ignorance is bliss!
A simple support frane or a suspension cable would hold them up next time- minimum effort for maximum efficiency :)
Excellent video!
I'm just surprised the very bright orange glow on the ground, which he must have noticed, didn't alert him to fact something was amiss on this run.
i am curious of how the pulsejet action would effect steel when its that hot
@@FallenMeowBob Give it a few runs like this and it will oxidize in a blink of an eye, leaving holes the size of quarters!

When legends don’t die young this is the rare product 💪🏼
your voice sounds younger than you are. Some say that's a good sign. and I agree. your heart is still young and full of adventure. not many people have that over the age of 40.
great proof of not all old people are the same.
Hey grampa is high today
I genuinely love this man. I'm sat here right now just laughing at the shear audacity this man had to just go out and live life with nothing stopping him . All so can we all admire the engineering here
Your only as old as you feel, I have always said ever since I was 10 years old that I was going to live for 250 years, well I am 1/3 of the way there and feel like I am in my 20s, So I say keep living your dreams, there is a lot more people with you than you may think. "Thank You"
this guy is living out childhood dreams. Love to see it
This guy is a national treasure. Good luck and good health to him. How fast does that little cart go?
When he past the truck it looked like 50-60 mph 😂

mach 5 ish.
That moment when the ethereal sounds burst from the pipes and he is working some controls like an EDM magician before I presume he is about to blast off in his self created sci-fi vehical is low-key better than any movie I've seen in years
This looks incredibly dangerous, but even more fun.
Rocketman, I really enjoy your work and especially your enthusiasm. It's good to see someone enjoying what they do and you certainly have fun on every run. Sorry you lost a motor but I'm sure you already have plans for a new one.
Ride safe.
Did you see the backup he had in that trailer 😂
the pure joy on his face, i envy that
This guy is some crazy rocket dwarf, subscribed
Man wants to go out on his own terms and I respect that
Marvelous footage. Inspiring happyness in your face. Thanks for letting the child inside you be still alive and not stop playing. God bless you!!
