I’ve been making rocket engines now for 18 months, and programmes like this keep me wide awake, there’s still much to learn

After 15 years of searching finally I've discovered it: a youtube video those title literally describes it's content - rockets rising to sky. Thank you.

Thanks PBS. Its timely to remind us that Humans can do wondrous things that inspire great achievements. If we can turn away from division, war and tribalism then the Future is anything we can imagine.

Ya, a little on the late side, but still thoroughly enjoyed it! It answered several lingering questions I had about some of the rocket designs. Thanks for posting and keep them coming 👍 🤘😁🖖

The testing was something else. As a kid, I went to school about a mile away from where Rolls Royce tested their jet engines (underground), the last test was about 10am, we had to stop class, not only couldn't we hear, the ground and windows shook. Under Hucknall Aerodrome an ex WW2 airfield, with the concrete bunkers still there at perimeter.

Incredible that people whine about the fact that this is a bit dated. They certainly want a lot .... for absolutely nothing. This is amazing information.

It would be nice if the original airdate was included in the description. Right from the first couple of minutes it’s clear this is out of date (ie less than 600 people in space). Still good content but it would be useful to have some context. Edit: okay at the point of SLS renderings (when SLS has launched) I had to look this up myself. This is episode 5 of season 46 airing on 13/02/2019 (or 02/13/2019 for Americans). Currently 4 years out of date. A LOT has happened since then, including first manned flights for Virgin Galactic and Blue Origin, the selection of a moon lander, and built prototypes and testing of Starship (just had the booster 30 engine static fire, with orbital launch imminent), Dear Moon crew selection, Polaris mission announcement, and the first full tourist orbital flight with no professional astronauts onboard on Crew Dragon. Oh..and crew rating of Dragon😅 with multiple missions to the space station. And lest we forget, China fully building their own space station.

Fascinting to watch this knowing what we know now

Embracing the revolution 🚀

New subscriber in this channel & loooving every videos , already have seen 3 excluding this one!!

that waterrocket guy cracked me up

Thanks PBS America you rock, i like all your videos

Haha the edit was funny and put a smile on my face before the intended smile on my face!

United Star Ship Enterprise was built by a United Earth where no countries waged war with other countries. Getting countries to stop attacking or firing rockets as saber rattling is the first step. We got our work cut out for our grandchildren.

Artemis obviously, up to where i was watching the mission name was not mentioned..though it's thrust was increased from optimal for launch testing purposes.

And virgin has been relying upon space x for a while too🚀

Very genius people who passed this world like Albert Einstein theory of relativity & German & Russian mathematicians

That water rocket is really fun. I've seen people cutting two PE bottles, applying a very strong glue to make an almost 3 liter bottle, and glue a valve into the "top" that opens at once. That double bottle can be pumped up to 9 bar, filled with half water, half air, that works best. Nine bar is pretty dangerous. So, you absolutely must do the glueing exactly like the experts showed you: sand the joint using the RIGHT type of sandpaper, use the type of glue the experts showed you, apply the right amount of glue (not too much, not too little), have the glue curing at the right temperature and time. And the fins that keep your rocket stable, better go for an existing design, later you can experiment, when you know these things better. You do not want a high pressure air rocket exploding into you face, or coming for you. And ah, when you add a small return parachute, there are very clever release mechanisms, and mechanisms that fail half the time. The choice is all yours. By the way, search water rockets, the large ones fly hundreds of meters into the sky. Those are no toys anymore. Still, if you know what you are doing, you can build them yourself.

47:30 All this hype about space turism melted away from Virgin galactic.

The big breakthrough would be no more combustive engines….a new technology….completely

I believe the "hype" about as much as the "hype" about "just point and click" in the 90's, the "convenience of mobility" of the 2000's, and now "interstellar prospecting" and the newest "trend"

Wonderful, thank you !!

Can we all spare a thought for the pigeon at 24:39...

24:36 to 24:42 Anyone else see the little bird trying to get away from the rocket?

if he cut the spud to the perfect diameter of the tube in the shape of an artilley shell and made it all smooth and then cut a long spiral down from the pointy end to the flat base , he definatley would have got that spud into the nearest town ......boys will be boys type thing

💚💜❤️💙

meanwhile people still think earth is flat and climate change is a hoax, deal with that space age

SLS hasn't flown? I'm hoping the doc was made after Artemis 1 as the video was posted on this channel 2 months ago.

Wir sind noch am Hub Schub + Geschwindigkeit & Beschleunigen Technik.........................,,,,!

Larger the rocket, the larger waste having detrimental effect to the environment generate more debris in space the biggest fly tipper are the rich companies

1st comment ? No way

I heard busi can spark any linghter with just +12VDC 😎😎😁🙄

January 23, Vector has already filed bancruptcy, Astra who had a similar concept are in serious trouble, as is virgin...

Good video but you are like five years late.. Maby uppdate to 2023, where you have Falcon heavy, Starchip, and SLS up and running.

I always thought the chinese were first🙄 with the idea of expanding gas propelled rockets although they used solid fuel probably.

Lol. To this day i honestly believe that the typical rocket design is an in-efficient waste of fuel.

Ich habe gerade Atomstrom ausgeleuchtet & möchte Sie sich Untersuchen lassen............

Save the planet first, or we all die.

What type of paint are they using on a rocket that travels over Mach 20?

To the moon? well a first time for everything.

Made in 2020, released in 2023? :p

« Do not move, stay put, and you will see the World twisting at your feet ! »…Franz Kafka… Quote written because thinking about Elon Musk on purpose of life…

Automatically anti gravity

someone should tell the bloke at 9.30 that Apollo is not the name of a rocket. i cant take anyone seriously if they fail to understand the difference between a rocket and a massive project,.

All these rockets being launched must effect the environment

😉👍👍👍

What mr Musk is doing is awesome but we need to remind all the progress made by USA before, sometime without computers... It's still so impressive to see the rockets land !!

"When ignited the gunpowder reacts with oxygen..." No, this is erroneous. Gunpowder contains its own oxidizer and so doesn't need the oxygen from the air. That's why it can ignite inside a gun, of course. Tsk!

Bukan tutup satu bukan tutupnya tempat namanya ingredients

Yeah you going to have to. RUNnnn

Bitte zählen Sie der nächste Schritt

Nice documentary, but a little late.

17 mins into video and 4 lots of ads already, greed ? uncomfortable viewing.

Anyone heard of Space X Starship super heavy?? NASA is the past Space X is the future!!

Old words, maybe so, however, o believe this ,old stuff, is worth far more than any wars to finance, like USA an ukr an Russia etc., this is where we need to put all of our energies and finances,we cud accomplish so much more, so much faster, and for fick sakes much better too, sooner too,

Really… you’re just gonna pretend Elon isn’t the most important contributor in the rise of the rockets? Elon has flown 3 crew flights, over 20 cargo supplies to the iss and you’re going to feature his efforts as snippets. Wow

I wonder if humans will ever reach a star trek civilization, and when? And if they don't self-destruct? Right now they are flying circles through the privileged few.

lol. in the early 2020s

Who do you think Elon is?

two modern day problems (1) how does this impact the climate? (2) cube sats?? orbit solution?

10:15 I bet she stole that bike LOL

AI spaces

How old is this??

who owns these Private companies where tax payers pay and they take it all because they are private companies....!!? what is going on....!!?

Everything in this is years out of date.

i would like better designed cities

Ciołkowski

Pbs

no way no more new generation at all

NASA has no vision. They have picked up where they left and now making things bigger? 😂😂🤣🤣😂😂

Elon you are ambition and illusion,by the way my Queen Virgin Mother Mary she stopped that all rockets all over the world.

I love Sci-fi. I, like you, wish Space was an actual thing. Alas, it is not.

I cannot believe no one gives the carbon footprint for a launch in the middle of a climate catastrophe!

No space activity is good for the environment.

Space travel; the ultimate fantasy for a misanthrope.

Apparently you can't say mankind anymore. It was to be humankind to include woman's 😊

SLS to be cancelled.

The orator breathes out the words a lot, it's quite annoying..!!😫😫😫

FAIL ...MID 2020'S NOW

Entreprenours? Are you shower?

old documentary, waste of time

Out of date Govt sponsored BS

Space propaganda

you ruined the world

Elon made his first fortune being born to earth scaring miners.

No mention of Sputnik, no mention of Laika, no mentionf of Yuri Gagarin, yet they mention Alan Shepheard...modern day US propoganda is sad.

Actually, everything started with Ziolkovski and continued with von Braun. Then the Soviets sent Gagarin to the moon. All done.
