Great video, but I think you should have included the USCRPL Fathom II, this launch that went to 144,000ft a few months back. Also, the HEROS 3 record is set to be broken at the end of the year by Delft Aerospace Rocket Engineering with their Stratos III rocket if all goes to plan.
More worthy than Fathom III is Embry Riddle Icarus. Unfortunately there’s no good footage. 199,580 ft apogee in mid-2000s by a university group. Also Reaction Research Society Boosted Dart to 50 miles (250 kft) in 1990s.

Ha, we'll stick with the little ones. Funny, I bought a high powered rocket kit when I was a teenager. Assembled it but never flew it. It was cool to have. Besides, no where to fly something like that n Queens, New York, ha!
That person would likely be the next Homer Hickam; and if they're not immediately picked up by NASA or SpaceX they might be prosecuted by the FAA for an unauthorized orbital launch.
The Phoenix looks like a cost-effective solution that I would look at. These are cool, but I really don't want to spend too much; what if you're unable to recover the falling parts? Great homemade rocket video and thanks for posting! :-D
Years ago I built an Estes rocket that I launched many times. One day I decided to remove all the weights it used to have and put in an extra long-burning C engine with a long report delay. It went up and up and we never saw it again.
my university, embry-riddle, launched a rocket called icarus out of wallops afb that went 37miles. it was built entirely by students. We held the record for highest altitude for like 10+ years. It's kind of annoying how we never receive any kind of recognition.
Great lineup. I had no idea that there were 'amateur' rockets that went that fast or that high! That Saturn V scale replica; if one were made of aircraft aluminum, properly painted, and had actual liquid fuel rocket internals vs. stock hobby solid motors, I'm almost certain enough to bet it could achieve orbit.
Your blood wouldn't boil, and you wouldn't freeze within seconds. Pressure in the human body is enough that your blood does not, in fact, boil, unless it's exposed to the vacuum (your saliva, tears, etc. however will). You won't freeze to death either "in seconds" because there's very little air around you to convect heat from your body. These are two of the most annoyingly often repeated pieces of misiformation about space and near-space.
Lol I've been on too many flat earth debunking videos, I thought you were sending me some source that was mixed pseudoscience and religious nuttery. I was genuinely surprised when it was a legitimate source! xD Thanks!
there are some seriously brain damaged people in the flat earther cult. anyhow yeah facts and getting those facts correct is super important. if i am not mistaken a russian cosmonaut actually had his hand exposed when his glove came off his suit. he actually lived

A good friend and I, ears ago was in to building and flying model rockets and we built some rockets that were experimental new ideas and to our surprise they all flew but not all flew like we hoped they would . I'm going to start buying some rockets from companies that make them and I'm going back to the drawing board to building experimental projects in model rockets again.i enjoy your videos on rocketry.
No ..thats not how missiles take down planes .... plus a plane traveling 900 km/h would have to be preatty unlucky to be hit by vertical flight of a rocket , and even more unlucky to get hit into the engine or a wing ....

The nazis were poor executers. They had junk. The russians have always had junk, too. Americans have always been superior in everything. This is why we win wars and nazis and russians DONT... the V2 was a piece of shit. It was used more for fear mongering than anything else. 10,000 casualties? Bet half of them were idiots who blew themselves up trying to launch them...
Need a ww2 lesson there much eh? the Germans had superior equipment for most of the war, it just didn't have the reliability they needed to be combat effective. and how did soviets end up into the talk? and there tanks and other things were good later into the war especially with the introduction of heavy tanks. also the Germans masterfully executed things, like Jews and wars. as proof, they conquered an entire country in around a month, then smashed through the Benelux region and France, then a large portion of habitable Russia. only till most of the world was against it did they loss the war. so next time learn before spouting nonfactual information. also the Russians did win, they even beat the usa to the capital of Germany despite needing to go through more land. As well as usually having poorly trained soldiers by employing criminals and disabled to fight. even the average learner of ww2 in the slightest should have known Germany was in no way weak and in fact was strong until they didn't have a fuel of strong enough engines. and whatever form of American pride this is, he American's had weaker sprites usually retreating after less casualties then germen or soviet soldiers did.
Awesome video! I'll forward the link to George Katz who is the designer and builder of the Dark Shadow. I was there when it flew and it was pretty amazing.
Hmmm so it possible for a small group to launch one of these into to space. Be pretty cool to see a drone built for the purpose of low Earth orbit. It could detach from the rockets tip or something and made of light materials with a camera so you can take your own personal Photos of the Earth. Got to love this time period 🚀
I’m sure they would be able to get it into a low earth orbit soon but it would probably only stay in orbit for a few days until it re-entered the atmosphere
sean O'Brien Yeah, that's probably doable. Slightly easier is just sticking the camera in the rocket and taking pictures all the way up and down like some on the list already do.
LOL. Take what? That you are in fact one seriously naive human being? Sorry burst your nasa nut hugging reality, but nasa lies, lie often, lie lie lie.

When I launched small Estes model rockets as a kid years ago, no lizards in my neighborhood were safe from being drafted into the "astronaut corps"!! Most made it and were retired, after one flight, to the garden; one died (parachute failed to open), and was then buried, with full honors, warped in a small American flag!! :D lol.

Great video, but one complaint: The rocket you showed at 6:13, as far as I know, is a SpaceLoft rocket built by up aerospace to carry NASA’s Mariah Capsule, not the homemade GoFast rocket. The Up Aerospace video(The video on the rocket at 6:13) won the GoPro award, which you can see if you just look up “GoPro Rocket” on TH-cam. TL:DR - Correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe the rocket at 6:13 is not the rocket the video creator was talking about at that specific time.

No, that's just a fish eye lens camera. The earth is of course round, but these guys aren't helping the cause by ALWAYS using god damn fish eye lens cameras ... when will they learn.
JonnyD3ath #5 team switched to the V2 fuel (alcohol + oxygen) a few years ago. Now it's almost working and they're designing their 100kN (20000 lbf) engine for a human flight. As Americans you may be able to borrow their design unless you're on certain blacklists.
I'm aiming to beat the triple digit thousands with something special, a seven foot long maybe 8 Space Shuttle. Many issues i'm working on with that, including steering it back to landing, GPS, keeping signal connected, thrust requirements, balance, etc.
@@horashio1593 Was going good, about 14 months ago my youngest nephew took my space shuttle frame off the wall and used it for a trampoline. Breaking it into more pieces then i built it with. I lost the motivation for many months, will try again when i get the money to start over.
(Update: Is noted in credits) Looked like pics of Both were mixed in there. I was confused as well. 1b on the launch pad, but sure looked like V on actual launch.
The rocket that flew was a Saturn V. For whatever reason a Saturn 1B was inserted for a few seconds just prior to the launch sequence. They don't look anything alike so there is no excuse. Having said that, I would have loved to have seen flight footage of the 1B also.
Corey Truett Learn what? Imperial? I already know that clunky measurement system, so i can actually watch these videos. But metric is alot better, especially for topics like this.
These rockets are way too light for the thrust they are producing. As the weight of rocket increases, it becomes exponentially more difficult to achieve the speed required to go to space.
@@bobbarker7292 I've not been to the edge of space, yet! But you can get a nice view of the curvature of the Earth from a cruise ship if it is clear to the horizon.

The best rocket you should've put in honorable mentions is Saturn V
Imagine they hit a plane
u cant...air traffic routes are monitored before firing one
Most of these I would say is like a Sam missile,Especially the Sapphire because it’s guided
Well, technically, all rockets are homemade. Because they are made at their base/home
Thats awesome! Go America!
Cool video, but use metric pls.
Jbaltus Stuff learn idiot
Corey Truett Learn what? Imperial? I already know that clunky measurement system, so i can actually watch these videos. But metric is alot better, especially for topics like this.
naaaaaaah base twelve is superior
I can write down one 3rd of a foot
can't do that with a meter :P
You can, .3 meters is 3 decimeters. Easy. Instead if a third.
.3 is not one 3rd
0:27 Bye-bye miniature London!
why an amateur rocket seems very faster than non amateur ?
Aris Risnandar lol i was thinking the same thing
Since they are a lot lighter, they tend to accelerate faster.
These rockets are way too light for the thrust they are producing. As the weight of rocket increases, it becomes exponentially more difficult to achieve the speed required to go to space.
They're also a lot smaller. And being filmed from much closer. That's why they look so much faster.
the non amateur rocket was hravy and earth gravity can pull it and make it slow down.
Iran & N.K. Still can’t do this.... amazing!
Do any of you guys just get scared when you see the edge of the earth, like in number 1.
Eduardo Gomez actually i got excited about the idea 🤔
Its called the Horizon not the edge.
Dennis Richards Yeah, we don't want to attract the flat-Earthers. XD
Dennis Richards,you beat me to it.we don't need the flat earthers here . They think every picture of round Earth is taken with a fisheye lense.
@@bobbarker7292 I've not been to the edge of space, yet! But you can get a nice view of the curvature of the Earth from a cruise ship if it is clear to the horizon. It's both lovely and unsettling at the same time, the latter perhaps cuz you are in the middle of the ocean in this itty bitty little boat that's only the size of a small village!! :D
Left out was the HAL-5 HALO SL-1 Hybrid Rocket that held the world record for highest hybrid rocket launch at 218740+ feet in 1997. Wasn't broken until 2004.
