All of us that were rocketry hobbyists as kids are watching this and at the magic moment laughing like idiots and going "Holy SHIT" at our monitors, haha. I would just love to get back into rocketry in the modern age, it's come a LONG way just like radio control has. SO COOL, great job you guys!! :-)
@@petermirtitsch1235 you'd be immediately hooked. I was never really into rockets of any kind until my uncle got me a kit, and then let me go with on all the outings. I promise you if you were to go to a high power event it'd blow you away. Even the smaller motors like C and D would, especially with boosters. They clear 2500 ft easily with right design, add cams and you'd be even more stoked. The cams are for end of coast phase and chute deployment, not launch where it's just spinning. That all stops
Love the use of the talking GPS system!!! Maybe you could use a metal enclosed camera system sort of like on the one used last millennium by the Estes corporation on one of their models. The camera was mounted to the body in such a way that the camera could tilt with the body of the rocket so that it always pointed toward the ground. I would love to build one similar to that one that included the speaking GPS system. Keep up the good work.
If you can build a technological rocket then perhaps you could use some of that technology to point the camera at the rocket and not waft it about pointing it at the ground.
@@frankmcdaniel2352LOL, Frank, you tube is over run with people that don't get it! They just run through the comment section waiting to bestow upon us their lack of. 😂
But the cameras melted! Obviously they didn't anticipate that or they would have shielded them to prevent it. They could have got some information from Hornady, the ammunition maker, whose plastic tips were melting when their projectiles went supersonic.
Kermit well they are not to military theses guys don’t have the billons to waist but since you brought up you want a better video then fund it for them
There are many versions of a "steadicam" that can be made for cheap at home out of simple supplies. It only has to be heavy enough to steady the camera for the person filming. It's the same reason why rifles weigh what they do. Cool video, awesome rocket!
Impressive launch and awesome recovery. if only i had the GPS stuff in the 70s flying just C engine kits where not enough clearance. just LOTS of “I gotta do it’s to launch. slowly getting back into it. love to come to one of these HPR events someday
All the people complaining about her video skills, she couldn't see the damn thing on decent so what was she supposed to film? If she would have kept came up, everyone here would be commenting why is she filming an empty sky? No one knew where it was until moments before touchdown. Hard to film what you can't see. But as usual, youtube is filled with people who think they can do it better.
At least she could hold the camera horizontally to capture *what was visible* -the other hobbyists and the equipment on earth. Otherwise, what's the purpose of 95% of the video? Have you ever seen a TV show or a documentary where the camera-man points the camera down, because he doesn't see what he wants? And yes, we can do it far better!
Absolutely the best ride I've seen on YT. Much superior to that giant Saturn replica that burped to 3k ft. and promptly peetered out - an overall disappointment.
Great - like the first rocket pioneers around Goddard, von Braun et al. Must be quite elation get to get your creation from zero to supersonic in a flash, plus the husky computer on board. Love it !
Your wife sounded just like mine when I flew my 6" x 11' rocket this weekend, "Yeah...it's really cool," in response to "Wasn't that amazing?!" :) Nice flight!
It doesn't really go right over their heads...they just shake their heads and sigh, thinking we're little boys with our toys and why don't we ever grow up? However, when they get that gleam in their eyes about some sweet deal they got when shopping for a new blouse and how they bought it for half off without realizing they spent $20 in gas traveling all over town to find it, then the shoe is on the other foot! :)
My nephew Joe P. is a master amateur rocketeer who has designed a better ignition system for such rockets and has a license to build engines powered by the same chemical mix (['ve seen both) used by the Space Shuttle. I had no idea that amateur rocketry had advanced so far. A few years ago an amateur rocket reached space (100 km or 61 miles high) and there is a serious effort to put a satellite in orbit using amateur rockets.
Someone made a comment that it flew as fast as the earth rotates which is nearly true. At the equator, the earths rotation is approximately 1600km/h or roughly 1000 mph (I think ) and the voice recording indicated mach 1.2 for the rockets peak speed.
Super cool words cant Express the joy i got out of watching this video they do a big rocket show jn kansas were im from im going to take my kid hope it still gies on as planned
Have you guys thought about launching a recording G-M counter to read the Cosmic radiation at high altitude? I didn't hear what the maximum altitude was but at 38000 ft you can typically read about 450 uR/hr. While on the surface, background radiation is usually about 10 to 25 uR/hr.
Oh man, this is one of the best model rocket videos I've seen on TH-cam. Ever heard of the rocket "QU88K"? Also pretty neat. Largest I've shot so far is an 80N•S impulse, hope to get up to 160N•S over Christmas!
***** Oh yeah, I've watched that one probably around 100 times. Look up the rocket "QU8K", that was also quite an impressive one. Built by Derek Deville
Back in the 60s, my friends and i would launch rockets, can't remember the name of them, you got a tube and rocket motors, and the better model had a clear plastic payload capsule, and we would sometimes put a small toad, or grasshopper in it, and send him into space, probably three or four hundred feet, its been so long ago i can't remember.
You hired the computer from "Aliens" : "You now have three minutes to reach minimum safe distance". Good job, by the way. It's good to know what is happening in real time
I wonder if those guys started playing with "D" size estes engined rockets as a youngster.......you guys rock for sure and will at least draw some STEM interest to the new gen.
Very cool. Iv seen video outside in the air stream before when an object goes through the sound barrier and it seems to get wavy like that. Not sure what causes that (boundary layer moving around) maybe, but good job.
Soak your ear flaps with water, that makes a great a/c. I used to staple a handkerchief in my hat when hoeing weeds out in west Texas. Soaked with water, it made a wonderful evaporative personal a/c unit. Also, may be counter-intuitive, but a long sleeve light shirt turns heat as well. I wear a tee shirt under it, that wicks water, and the long sleeves keep direct sun off. Just some observations from a kid that grew up in the "world before a/c..." Nice shot as well! Looks pretty cool.
Kate is brilliant...One suggestion to add to an otherwise perfect system would be a head end igniter and proper ignition comp reducing your ignition delay to under 50 msec...
well , what do you say . . .the take off was great , swiftly followed by some of the worst camera work i have seen for quite some time.... so credit to the people that got it up there , but serious condemnation of having the only footage after that pointing at of all things the ground . . . very very very very very very very disappointing . . .
Some commenters complaining the video is not professional enough but that's what I like about it. They had fun! For professional video see SpaceX or NASA channel.
What an impressive effort in making the rocket and the filming of the launch. Kudos! I am disappointed in all the critics concentrating on minor aspects of the filming and missing the overall time, work, money and energy that was the paramount theme.
I'm surprised these don't have a smoke trail for the descent. Do they go too high to see it? Maybe for the last 5000'? It would save a lot of stiff necks!
Hard to film something you can't see, which she clearly stated. I agree it could have been a little more skyward but nobody knew where it was till just before hitting the ground.

The big O - E F G H I J K L, M,N How much impulse is that? What does the actual motor look like? Can we get a peak under the hood ? As the rocket approaches the sound barrier would it have a tendency to fly crooked? I was trying to follow the smoke trail. Would bounce off the barrier until it went through?
The real time telemetry to speech was hella cool!
A nice large screen display with real time data would have even cooler. ;D
But this way you can be informed without looking away from the rocket
That's the best close-up video of the desert floor, I've ever seen!
Kate's vocalized read out of telemetry is absolutely awesome and practical. It allows you to enjoy the show and hear the data, so very cool!!!!
Wow, that was impressive. Just wish I could have seen it.
I could see it.
Yeah, that would've been something.
As soon as you said "duct tape" on a video with 'supersonic' in the title, I knew the camera wasn't going to make it !
All of us that were rocketry hobbyists as kids are watching this and at the magic moment laughing like idiots and going "Holy SHIT" at our monitors, haha. I would just love to get back into rocketry in the modern age, it's come a LONG way just like radio control has. SO COOL, great job you guys!! :-)
I thought my old Estes rockets with a dual D rocket were gnar at the time. This. This is another level.
Never tried it, but can see the attraction. Maybe should add to my bucket list?

Parachutes deployed at eight hundred feet, so let's film the f*cking ground.
It doesn't take a Rocket Scientist to film a rocket launch. But, in this case it's an exception. Saw more of desert soil than desert sky.

Even a car has the camera inside a fin

But the cameras melted! Obviously they didn't anticipate that or they would have shielded them to prevent it. They could have got some information from Hornady, the ammunition maker, whose plastic tips were melting when their projectiles went supersonic.
Duct tape saved Mark Watney in more than one situation.
Did it melt from air friction or engine heat? Would a duct-tape covered, polystyrene, aerodynamic shroud have kept it protected?
this was total kickass. that badass sound when it took off reminded me of a sidewinder!
1:57 RIP headphones users
30 seconds of the rocket. 5 minutes of the dirt.
dam next time please give the camera to someone else!
Ground camera: fail. Rocket camera: fail. TH-cam video: fail. What you get: dislike.
for all the hi tech cameras around i was expecting better shoots
@Eagle1 Read the comments section, tons of people are complaining about the shitty camera-work and rightly so.
@Eagle1 Not poor baby, poor photography.
Maybe you should have somone other than a kid that pointed the camera at the ground to man(boy) it.
Pretty damn beautiful ants on the ground !! Damn it !!
Kermit well they are not to military theses guys don’t have the billons to waist but since you brought up you want a better video then fund it for them
Nice video of the Ground.
One of the coolest model rocket videos I've ever seen. Really enjoy all the angles and the voiced computer tracking.
Ian Mitchell i think this is a little out of the category "model" rocket
Not trying to get into a semantics debate with you but this is High Power MODEL rocketry.
"We can see it" as she continues to point the camera at the ground
Yeah. They need to fire the camera girl.
Need to fire the the editor that left all that in the video. Still very nice flight and some good shots.
amateurs ...
Thus the name "amateur rocketry".
Why give the camera to a child?
I really enjoyed the rocket launch but the view of the ground jerking around is not very good. Thanks for the launch though.
There are many versions of a "steadicam" that can be made for cheap at home out of simple supplies. It only has to be heavy enough to steady the camera for the person filming. It's the same reason why rifles weigh what they do. Cool video, awesome rocket!
I dont know why, but the thumbnail of this video is so cool! It looks so rugged and reminds me of an opening to a call of duty black ops mission.
Damn! That was some major thrust! I wasnt expecting that.
Extremely awsome👍
Wow...very well thought out and organized launch...love all the deatails of the onboard flight computer!! Perfect!!
Impressive launch and awesome recovery. if only i had the GPS stuff in the 70s flying just C engine kits where not enough clearance. just LOTS of “I gotta do it’s to launch.
slowly getting back into it. love to come to one of these HPR events someday
You can imagine my excitement every time I saw a missile or rocket fired at White Sands Missile Range. Must have seen thousands in my day.
I thought the desert floor looked particularly well for the time.of year.
amazing wobbly shots of the ground - did someone forget to point the camera?
All the people complaining about her video skills, she couldn't see the damn thing on decent so what was she supposed to film? If she would have kept came up, everyone here would be commenting why is she filming an empty sky?

Hang on, here was verbal readout of bearing and height. What was the problem?
At least she could hold the camera horizontally to capture *what was visible* -the other hobbyists and the equipment on earth. Otherwise, what's the purpose of 95% of the video? Have you ever seen a TV show or a documentary where the camera-man points the camera down, because he doesn't see what he wants? And yes, we can do it far better!
Photography was a bit underwhelming.... but congrats on the flight.

james Mcnealis re you serious? There are worst rocket videos than this out there.
that ground looks so nice….
This was Spectacular, One of the best I have seen! Bravo to the people involved in this!
Films a rocket with the camera pointed at the ground. 😂👍🚀
Okay, I'm impressed. The voice added drama to the launch. Good stuff.
Absolutely the best ride I've seen on YT. Much superior to that giant Saturn replica that burped to 3k ft. and promptly peetered out - an overall disappointment.

John Mullen Ah so i'm not the only one that also thought that :P

Maybe a nod to Kate Mulgrew?

I think the camera was strapped to the back of a dog or something?
That’s rude! Dogs take better videos
For all the effort you put in that rocket... you did a complete hack job on the video and the edit. About 3:44 I gave up.
A freaking talking rocket that is so sweet!!!! and saves a lot of work too!
I agree, but talking camera operator not so much. Next time, take the phone away from the camera operator.

All that trouble of installing an onboard camera and we cant even watch it ride to apex?
Did the thing burn up or fall off mid flight or something?
apex lol its not a race car, you mean apogee.
if you heard them talking and saw the text it said it was 8x slo mo camera at the very end just before it burned up from the heat.
Duct tape at supersonic? Lol.

Nicely done. The video could have been a million times better though if the camerawork wasn't done by a total m.ron.
Was she expecting for the rocket to com out of the ground somehow? :-D
Peter Pan no brains
I didn’t see this kit in the Estes catalog

confirmed. north Korea's ICBM test was successful.
