“Are you for real?”
“We have... unique metrics”
Might be one of the best lines ever 😂
40 lbs is not metric
@@tristanbrightman5539 i know, it's either a measurement or a parameter
but metric actually mean measurement, so some technical materials use it interchangeably, regardless of finer definitions
@@RadeticDaniel It was a silly metric/imperial joke, you've read me as much smarter than I am x
@@tristanbrightman5539 hahahaha
Doesn't make it any less true though =D
I completely missed the pun
just rolled into the comments to note this. 8:00 starts the best exchange ever.
One day, humans will successfully land a Christmas tree on Mars. Until that day, we have Xyla. The arc of history bends towards flying decorations. Godspeed Xyla.
The history books will remember this rocket as the Sputnik of Christmas trees.
This seems like the optimal way to kick-start the New Martian biosphere. Let's turn the Red Planet into the Red-and-Green Planet! 🎄
@@vigilantcosmicpenguin8721 That would have been the one she did last year
It will be a.... Christmars tree :)
Christmissle*
6:18 can we take a moment to appreciate the dust extractor's delightfull festive outfit
The drill press dressed up too!
It's an honorary elf.
Having the kind of friends willing to dress up as your shop elves for youtube is my new squad goals
And the kind of friends who will assist you on a project that will make everyone question why on Earth someone would want to do that.
@@vigilantcosmicpenguin8721 Well the obvious answer for that question is
'For Science!' :-)
I really hope this tradition stays for years, season's yeetings to all :)
Unusual traditions are great, like the Essential Craftsman blowing up anvils on the fourth of July.
İt's cultural appropriation for chinese or eskimos etc... to celebrate xmas.
AND TO ALL A GOOD FLIGHT!
new favorite tradition
Yes, yeah to TH-camrs Christmas specials!
This is so cool! My daughter and I watch all your videos together and she is SO inspired to follow your footsteps!
may her christmas trees always fly straight! :)
That sounds lovely. Hopefully her excitement can also pursuade others to become interested in science/ engineering.
Imagine you are a tree, living your best life, someone comes and cuts you down, hauls you on a truck to a Home Depot, and this girl in a Christmas dress comes along, brings you home, drags you out to the Desert and yeets you into the sky on a rocket...
🎄
🚀
🔥
What a way to go .... 🚀
It went down in a blaze of glory.
yes! that is my best day ever. 😂 😂
Xyla's outfit is truly Elf & Safety approved ( people outside the UK may not get that )
I was worried for the elf of the others involved too.
On the other side of the pond it is "… Safety & Elf …"
We on this side of the pond call it OHSA but we understand marry Christmas
Ahahahaha
@@queeny5613 Ditto. I hear Phil Harding saying that all the time on Time Team. And I'm from & in California.
I love the "it survived a fairly sporty landing" and then proceeds to scratch the lens by rubbing the dirt covered lens on her pants :D
Seriously tho, you guys are amazing.
I think you guys made a ICCM, intercontinental Christmas missile, with how much that tree was flying sideways 😂
For when you really need to send over those season greetings.
You joke now, but soon enough it'll become reality.
@@vigilantcosmicpenguin8721 😬
Next year... we have to wait till next year...
Xyla has Launched her tree. NOW it feels like Christmas.
Ah, yes, the S.T.A.R. (suitably-tinseled aeronautic recovery) system, excellent choice
GENIUS
With your knack for acronyms you could get a job at NASA.
SPRUCE X !!! LOVE IT =D This should totally be an x-mas tradition
I can think of several sponsors who align to this channels content. They're missing out, IMO. You do some crazy fun stuff here! SpruceX - too funny! In just 3 days a tree flew thru the air. Loved the laid back enjoyment in this one. Who needs critical precision when you have holiday spirit!
And it still worked! (mostly)
Any extra precision would have been made irrelevant by the decorations anyways.
"really commit without overthinking" - words to live by
Under canopy and descending with the engine still going, I immediately thought of the SpaceX boosters coming back for an upright landing. Well done.
don't ya mean.... SpruceX?
@@xylafoxlin Awwww, I see what you did there! Good one! Keep up the cool projects! ( I know, stupid to say it, you are going to do it anyway without my encouragement and I thank you for that!)
Reminds me of when I resurrected my dads vintage “Big Bertha” rocket and a fin tore off on launch, pitching it over horizontally and shooting off straight at the neighbor’s houses.
Thank you for making me feel better about my minor screw ups! 😆 "measure once, cut thrice!" Would make an excellent shirt, BTW 👍🏻
This is the same energy as everything at Safety Third Podcast
That shirt would have a target demographic in every engineer ever.
Dammit, I’ve cut it three times and it’s still too short.
Thank you so much for the support and joining my patreon, it makes sponsorless videos so much easier. Another fun way to support my channel... I made the SpruceX shirts available on my merch store! 😂

Great video Xyla!!
Yaaay another Xmas tree
İ've got a christmissile but it's in pocket rocket form.
It's a Christmas miracle that it didn't land on anything! Congratulations on the semi-successful launch!
Im glad this is still a thing. Hope its a Foxlin tradition and will catch on.
Because of various creators, I have been hearing about Total Boat for a couple of years. So far, I have never seen anyone use Total Boat on an actual boat.
i have built multiple boats on this channel with botaltoat, thankyouverymuch! :)
True. My memory's not as good as it used to be.
Amaze-balls poem at the start! Really impressive how you got such an ungainly unbalanced yeeter to fly sort-uv straight up. Well done y'all.
You Rocked It! 🚀 This was amazing!
Being as into rockets as I am, this is the perfect holiday video. It appears that you and Joe are making this a seasonal thing, and that makes me supper happy!
Any Xyla/Joe collab makes me happy. :)
Any crazy annual tradition makes me happy. :)
I'm jealous of the hand drawn straight line ability displayed at 8:43....
you are not alone *0*
@@DiegoGarcia-yl3im thanks Michael !
The wibly-wobbly payload could be improved by using a dwarf tree, and allowing it to dry out ahead of time. Alternatively, you could reinforce it with a few layers of resin, which would eat up any weight savings, but would improve its rigidity.
Regardless, this was dope! Very cool project!! Lots of fun! I hope to see more!
Great Launch very happy for your team to assist with the build and decorations. Very happy with the Princess with power tool program, Girl's Engineers :) 😀
Amazing! This was so much fun to watch! Full of holiday cheer and excitement!
Happy New Year ! Congratulate everyone ! Thanks for a great youtube channel!!
That was a close one! I don't think they're going to let you do that again!
A perfect sprucex launch and landing.
I bet they didn't see that (semi) propulsive landing coming 😂
It has become my Christmas tradition to watch you and your friends launch a Christmas tree and then proceed to regale everyone I meet with the tale of how it all went! ;) Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays/Season's Yeetings to all!
Another glorious yeeting! Well done to the whole crew for pulling off another masterpiece!
Definitely my favorite new holiday tradition! It’s always fun to see your team of friends who clearly love making rockets.
I came to see a Season be Yeeted, and I leave contented.
Seasons Yeetings to all, and to all, take flight.
"Princesses with Powertools" is THE BEST NAME EVER
OMG it is that time of year again! This year rocketed by.
2:04 The first time ever I hear you say Total Boat correctly and not Botal Toat!
Haha rocketry / rocket-tree. I only noticed this after watching the video. Maybe I was too excited by the infectious enthusiasm, matching outfits, and all the glitter.
I found you via twitter back when you built your wooden corset and I've been following you ever since. Your videos are always so entertaining and relaxing to watch, no matter what you do! Also you are an amazing woman and I strive to be as crafty and smart as you!
This was amazing
*That's* what we call engineering! And, mechies, EEs, computer nerds, there are real jobs doing space stuff. Not specifically mentioning All Space True Rocket Advocates (or companies related to the acronym thereof), but we hire people who get out there and *do* things! You keep kicking launch butt, Xyla!
Your mistletoe is no match for my TOW missile!
Nicely done!
Your design styles definitely compliment each other - Joe breaks out the CAD software, and you are more... approximate (which definitely seemed to work better in this case!). Great to see the ornaments are selling for a good cause!
Love the Puns. Happy Holiday!. Hugs n Love Xyla =)
OMG you're back at it! I'm so in, everything I had planned can be delayed by 23 minutes, it's worth!
Always a pleasure to witness the season's yeetings!
Seasons Yeetings! Looking forward to more crazy STEM stuff in the new year! Also, you should totally do a second channel just for flying & airplane stuff. I'd follow that for sure. You and all your elves are awesome and an inspiration. Even to a jaded old Aussie.
Sounds safe to stand in front of a life Christmissile while talking about your sponsor 😅😅😅
"Olaf's having a bad day!"
Lol that's how I feel everytime I see those inflatable lawn ornaments deflated.
What an amazingly fantastic Christmissile! This looked like so much fun, I can't wait to build my own wacky rocket of that scale some day...
Good to see that Kevin doesn't get left home alone for Christmas anymore.
🌟❄⛄🎄🎀🎁
The jingles from the bells are such a wonderful part of this video.
I haven't watched the video yet but I'm already giving you 10 out of 10 for pun skills in the title 🤣😂👏👏👏
I love the guy at the launch site who was so pumped to launch a tree. 13:20
So many things involved in getting this going. But all that hard work paid off for a wonderful result.
Just ordered my yeetings ornament. You all are amazing. Can't wait to own a piece of Season's Yeeting's history.
Inspiring work and engineering. (apart fron the 3 cut end plug, all been there) .Fantastic and succesful result. A pleasure to see the whole team build. Great work.
Can't decide whether launching anvils or Christmas trees is more
more fun !
This was such a fun video !
You are the cutest elf and your enthusiasm and joy are contagious!! Thanks and Merry Christmas to you!
It’s all fun and games until a hypersonic ground to air Chrismissile takes out Santa’s sleigh.
Nice! I was wondering if a tree would fly this year, I am happy to see that you guys at least are trying again (haven't seen the whole video yet so I don't know if it worked out at the moment of writing)
You meen if a tree WOOD fly?? :D
You're a nut! LOL
I hope you keep doing these XTree launches, it is such a hoot and the teams' energy is infectious. Props!
"Unknown assailant launches missile at Los Angeles. The missile appears to be made out of a Christmas tree."
Nice launch, merry Christmas 🎄😊👍🏻👍🏻
Seeing a Christmas tree being launched into the sky brought me joy. Thank you!
Hey Xyla your rocket is full of love an science, thanks for sharing
Thank you sooo much for saying curing not drying! Oh...and thanks for your generally awesome videos too!!! 😀
this is a great birthday gift for me, love the chaos!
Just went down the christmas makers rabbit hole from Colins site and found you. I have a 16 year old daughter who will be graduating with her associates degree next year and plans on going into biology with a specialty in genetics.. Women like you are such an inspiration to them in STEM. Keep up the great work!
A shooting star* ALTOs** a Christmas tree...
* Xyla shoots guns.+ The Shooting star is also the first American jet powered aeroplane to see combat.
* *(Air launch to orbit)
yeet goes up! yeet comes down... newtons law winning again! thanks to everyone for launching another tree this year!
🎄Awesome Xyla, fantastic video as usual 🎄
This was very entertaning, the costumes made it perfect.
"They key is to fully commit without overthinking it." Thats a T shirt right there.
I was wondering when this video would drop! Thanks for all your hard work to give us these videos!
you're welcome
That's One small step for a tree... One giant leap for treekind. 🎄🎄🎄🤣😂
...slipped the surly bonds of Earth and danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings
Looking forward to 2023 and seeing what delightful things you launch into the upper atmosphere! Joyous Christmahannukwaanzayulemaskahtide!
Wow, the amount of effort everyone put in is awesome! Gret Job!
As everyone knows, christmas decorations increase the tinsel strength of materials
Your videos are always a joy and this one was pure delight. Thank you for the wonderful uplifting experience.
Season's yeetings to you too!
That moment when faces went from
"OH WOW!" looking up to
"OH SHIT!" looking sideways, to
"OH PHEW!" the relief that nothing was destroyed is absolutely priceless xD
wow, that's fabulous! 🤘😝🤘The tree looks amazing, it's flight was literally perfect!! The way it pitched to horizontal to fly over the site like a scene from some christmas special comedy, then it lands safely in the parking lot !?!?!?!?!?! seriously, it could not be better!!
Xyla, you have superb leadership and organization skills, you are surprisingly intelligent and so fun to be around and it shows in your videos. I absolutely love this video, keep on being your amazingly awesome self
I love it how you and your friends are so apologetically geeks!
WooHoooo!
The Stars wanting to be the "Shooting Star" took control from the fins rotating the trajectory down. As we all know, Shooting Stars are Falling Stars.

Alignment issues with the Star bolted to the top of a bendy tree, lead to large moments at Max Q.
Thankyou you awoke my Christmas spirt,.You have made a whole new meaning to having to put the tree up. have a nice time all
That was AWESOME!!!! Hope you all have a great Christmas 👍👍👍👍👍
Saw the title and laughed so hard that my dog came to check on me.
I have enough problems in my life, so I doubt I'll ever watch any of your videos, but that title is a work of art.
Another successful launch. Merry Christmas!
We need more Xyla's in the world.
Yes!! Merry Christmas Xyla and friends
18:43 I got a picture of you guys and the rocket in the same frame and I’m very proud of it
This now is real comedy, with even a hidden message.
It's officially Christmas time now that the Rocket Tree has launched! Great job, can't wait to show the kiddos!
ME: "Yay! No one got hurt!" 😆
That could have gone really badly for a second there
The subtle bells jingling the whole video cracked me up
