    We accidentally had the wrong specs on our NERVA / RD-0410 card at 1:26:00. The engine cycle type should be “nuclear/closed” and fuel should say Hydrogen. We messed something up there, our apologies.
    Also: I pronounced names the best I could. I listened to lots of documentaries and stuff and tried my best, but it’s not great 😂 so sorry! I’m terrible enough at pronouncing things in English, let alone Russian 😬

      You pronounce "e" in Korolev correctly (as "io"), but the thing that was bogging me was the second "o" - it should be the same as the first "o" (so "Koroliov", not "Koreliov")

      There are much more mistakes, almost every other name is pronounced wrong, including, for example - Chelomey - it is not [shalomi], it is che-loh-may.

      Imma disagree with Korolev being 4 syllables. But at the same time if that’s the biggest gripe I’ve got about a 90 minute deep dive into rocket engines where most of the technical details you need are in a tricky foreign language then I’d say it’s a pretty bang up job you did.

      Tim, there are big-budget documentary makers like Discovery & NatGeo who have far more resources at their disposal and make _far more_ pronunciation errors & typos in their graphics.... so on behalf of the dozen of vocal internet nitpickers & keyboard warriors who won't bother to check for your pinned correction, thank you for the clarification. From the rest of us viewers who live in the real world.... don't stress it, we completely understand & it has no impact on our enjoyment of all this hard work! 👍

    Once again, I'm absolutely floored as to the accuracy and depth of this rather turgid, esoteric material. It is beyond me how you find it to begin with. As a rocket nerd, (if I didn't know better) I would assume there are about 34 people interested in this kind of stuff. Yet you are reaching literally millions of people with a level of production and quality that, frankly, puts a lot of NASA historians to shame, and leads to a level of understanding that the Discovery Channel couldn't convey. Most importantly, you have the young generations looking not at their smartphones, but at the night sky. Most important channel on TH-cam.

No one else has had the time, resources and will to tinker around and experiment so much with the design of their rocket engines.

    I once heard a beautiful phrase. It was from a man from ex-OKB-154(КБХА as of now) who worked on Energia-Buran project.
    It was like "we thought in metal" (дословно, "мы думали металлом"). It was like anyone could say anything and if it barely made just ANY sense at all, they went for it. Just tested the idea over and over again. Imagine how cool was that. It may be some kind of nostalgia or over-romantic memories of the past or something else, but given the number of those engines just in this video, I really do believe in this.
    Anyway, this is video is truly epic. Thank you so much for the great job!

      I live in the ex-soviet union now. The idea we were told by the propaganda that they were thick and everything was crap and poorly built and outdated is RUBBISH.
      Im into hifi and Soviet speakers of the 1970's were built in a way that very high end [$40k] speakers are today in the west. The capacitors they made are still used in new high end hifi today. Things were NOt built badly, but things WERE built to last for a very long time and be easily repaired so designs didnt change for the sake of it - so YES, designs looked old fashioned. I recently bought a 1960 soviet steam iron and it needed a cable. So i went to the local shop and bought the STANDARD soviet cable for things that get hot - rubber insulation wiht a ceramic plug on the end it it cost $1.50 and it fit and the iron works.
      Every household item that gets hot had the same plug for 70 years. Unlike an iPhone that has a new one every 6 months.

This guy knows very well, that without Tsiolkovsky's work around 1900, there would be no modern rocketry.

      Hey do I have the video game for you (but you probably already play its predecessor).
      Kerbal Space Program 2 is (hopefully) coming out sometime in early 2022, at least according to the last information we've been given regarding release dates that came directly from the developers (who are the only people you should trust for that kind of information).
      And like I said, I bet you already play Kerbal Space Program, assuming you have a console or PC to play it on (hopefully a PC, so you can use mods).
      Me buying KSP back in 2013 is what made me the rocket nerd I am today, but these days my tastes have moved firmly into the "exotic propulsion" field, which in terms of how I play KSP means that if it's not running on some form of nuclear energy once it's in orbit I don't really want to use it. (Ion engines powered by nuclear reactors in deep space such as out near Jool/Eeloo, and just generally heavy usage of nuclear thermal rocket engines (and the occasional fusion rocket).
      Put in shorter terms, my personal favorite solution to the rocket equation is the power of the atom.

    Tangent aside, this video really reignited that passion of space i had. This video is really awesome to me.
    I especially love the part at 1:28:50. The sound of the rocket engines firing... like no one can say that's not extremely epic.
    I also had a funny moment. I was thinking a nuclear rocket engine would be so awesome, then you mentioned a nuclear rocket engine developed by the USSR seconds later. My mouth was open lol.

That said, I totally understand that the poster is genius (and a lot of hard work) just getting the information on one poster and attempting to create order out of seeming chaos! Well done. Well done.

    Bros and Sisses, everybody at Everyday Astronaut, great video!! The promises have finally come true and I've been waiting to watch this since it was first hinted at being made. The couple small mistakes notwithstanding, it is both entertaining and informative. It is a great way to cap off my first trip to KSC and allowing for comparing numbers to the Merlin, Raptor, the RS-25 and (of course) the RD-180 engines. Thanks for keeping things Norminal.

    13:40 , a very tiny correction with the chemistry there. When you pass hydrogen peroxide over potassium permanganate, the peroxide breaks down into water and oxygen gas. This is a very exothermic reaction, so the water will very often boil if you have enough mass in one place reacting. So in turn, you have steam power, yes, but you also have large amounts of oxygen gas being produced mixing with that steam. This reaction is done quite often on a small scale and classrooms and in shows and is known as the elephants toothpaste experiment when soap is mixed with the peroxide. But yes, it seems like you only left out that it's not just steam being produced. You have a mixture of steam and pure oxygen being produced.

      Curious but could you create a machine that uses these principles to create oxygen for astronauts to breathe and even create fuel to burn? Sorry if my question is pretty rudimentary I know from your response that you’re quite knowledgeable about chemistry. Thnx for your answer in advance BYS.

      @@chrisdooley6468 you're fine. No worries at all. From what I can remember, they either use potassium superoxide or lithium chlorate to produce oxygen and enclosed spaces like on spaceships or submarines or things like that. They generally don't use the same oxygen and stuff that they use for fuel for breathing. It's usually a whole different system for that. I believe that they do that just in case one system fails, it doesn't take the other out with it. But your idea isn't bad at all. That is indeed a way that they could make it happen. I just think that they have found more efficient ways that use less material and produce more oxygen. Sorry for my late response! For some reason TH-cam did not notify me that you had replied and I only saw it because somebody liked my comment and it gave me that notification. So I clicked on it and I'm just now seeing your comment.

      Also, I feel like I should put it out there that I am not the same person as the backyard scientist. Similar names, two totally different people. But I will say that I have been using this name longer than he has had his channel. Lol!

      the oxygen does not matter much. even with 100%h2o2 it would be only 33%% on mno2 cat, but you have a water solution, even though a concentrated. so it does matter, but not much

      It should be noted that Elephants Toothpaste uses yeast or potassium iodide as the catalyst. Potassium permanganate reacts far too violently to be used for something as comparatively benign as elephants toothpaste

    Thanks for your enthusiasm and your passion Tim, I thoroughly enjoyed.

    Stunning, as I knew it would be - Thank you Tim, and all that help helped research and sort out this deep dive.
    The designers and builders of these engines deserve the bulk of the credit. Actually learning how to make these possible and producible and in trying times is the gold standard of engineering. I may have been in the western military, but I was always impressed by Soviet and Russian skills and determination.

    Absolute masterpiece. I enjoyed every single second of it. Thanks to you and everybody involved making it. However, you might want to re-render the last bit, since I think there is a small "typo" at 1:26:12: when talking about nuclear engines, the info page states that the NERVA was on the Saturn-V and Kerolox, I assume that should also be nuclear and no rocket - right?

    • @VAXHeadroom

      NERVA was destined to be a Saturn upper stage, it just got cancelled along with the rest of the Apollo program...

    This channel is perfect for what it does and this is the first vid I've seen. Subscribed. Highly interested in Rocketry over the last year (after years as an aviation enthusiast) and this is great for where I'm at. Thanks for this.

    Excellent video. I really did not know much about the Soviet/Russian contributions to spaceflight, so this was quite eye-opening! Thank you for all of your time, effort, and the care you put into this video and others Tim. Great job!
