Ok now this is just dang cool, kudos for sticking with it and working towards perfection, in the model rocket industry this is some space-age stuff lol. Are the motors commercial or did you make them yourself? I wouldn't hold it against you if they were commercial grade for the sake of reliability, homebrews can be finicky at the best of times...
Thank you so much! The motors are commercial made. Probably wouldn’t feel comfortable making my own, at least for now. Too many expensive electronics on board + even just making them can be dangerous
at 0:50 the explosion looked different then the normal Estes black powder engines I've seen blow up lol. Did the engine even blow up? What exactly happened there, I'm curious (if you know what actually happened).
Depends on the damage - some flights had 0 dollars of fixes required, some had close to 60, always the motor is about 10 dollars. I would say average cost of flight is close to 25 dollars?
Love to see all the attempts and failures along the build process. Don’t give up try and try till you get it right, that’s how we did it
Its unbelievable how much progress you have made in in just a couple of years. Keep up the good work!
You've got to post some more videos going into the details of each launch! This is amazing!
Thanks! I will start doing that this summer when there are consistent launches
You and Joe Barnard should totally collaborate! This is awesome
That last landing.. wow that TVC is good. Great work.
keep up the good work. Don't give up
So close, keep going! Love the music too haha
This is incredible.
Thanks!

This is so friggin cool.
ты мой кумир, не знаю сколько времени прошло с начало работы, но ты догоняешь bps space!!!
That was epic. Thx for the vid.
Incredible! I have an important question:
How did you throttle a solid fuel engine
I don’t throttle it! I just have a simulation for optimal ignition timing. I plan on implementing a divert maneuver to spend some thrust horizontally
@@ttbaerospaceThanks! Thats interesting
You can’t throttle a solid fuel engine, so you better just hope that the timing works out!
@@Sniperboy5551 you can, it’s been done before. Both on small scale and large.
@@christiancoleman3023 how?? do you mean BPS-style of throttling exhausts with the pichers?
This is awesome what your doing keep going!
Thank you! Will do!
You're awesome!
Thank you!
Amazing work!
Nice, you gotta become the second person to land one after Joey B
I can’t stop watching. So so so close
Lmao amazing eye candy video!

Not completely sure - my guess is the first ascent motor blew up and then ignited the descent motor so it kept thrust vectoring? hard to tell.
Cool. Getting close
Question: why not have the legs be longer and mounted higher? more like a camera tripod than a mic stand shape that you (and bps) have now.
You'd just be adding more material & weight to the rocket changing center of gravity for pretty much exact the same landing effect.
Awesome 👏
Hehe, nice! Just like the Video SpaceX made. No hate frome me on that ofcorse, I just thought it was cool👌
BPS space would like to know your trade secrets.
50usd per launch?

0:45 STARSHIP
bro is elon musk
bps space 2.0
saddly the music
October Sky
Elon will hire you
i hope
SpaceX got nothing on this imo tbh
so true😤
That's an expensive hobby.
Close.
oof
Lol 😂
This is so painful to watch😖
Great job
Oof
Awesome 👏
