Why Don't They Launch Rockets From reusable lighter than air balloons that take them as high as possible before firing the rockets?

The cope in the comments is hilarious. One day even they will have to realize how much of a fraud he is in reality.

RFA methodology seems like what most manufacturers are doing with their processes. Optimizing using AI for specific use cases. Huge Rocket Lab fan and now Im a huge RFA fan. ❤

Honestly, RFA has a lot of passion and you can clearly see that they are optimizing everything around low cost, maximum efficiency and passion.

Active air injection to shroud the internal rocket engine surfaces along with ceramic barrier coatings.

It's disappointing that this is the state of the art. Poor progress since the 60s.

"Realizing we're very, very, very close to seeing people actually flying in this..." Well, that comment aged like fine milk.

Elon musk couldn't give him the credit. Otherwise he'd have to pay him

I want a rocket model for free😢

NO.

I am not going to pay you. I am not going to pay you.

I was so high on your video! I'm happy you landed me with the outro music.😊

Yo.

At the equator is your best bet.

RFA going the Atlas/SpaceX route. Not a bad decision tbh. Stainless is cheap and sturdy - that would be why Starship is made out of the stuff too. Edit: I just love RFA's attitude about this. "There's all this experience out there, how about we tap into that? Companies already make hundreds of thousands of cars a year, why don't we let them do a lot of the work, instead of hurting our heads trying to figure out how to do things?"

And this is why he's successful. He contemplates outside thought, he admits failure and corrects mistakes while giving the credit to the individual responsible.

Idk why i end up watching this channel every day. I think its because i truely appreciate youre interest in a cool subject but also how conscise you explain topics that likely took you a lot of work to actually understand. Another 10/10 long video.

Synced up

Thought this was about the Ukraine war to be honest... awkward timing...

"Intelligence starlink" maybe was misspoke. ?

Great interview, Tim. Thanks for all you do.

The Apollo 1 astronauts died from inhaling toxic smoke venting into their life support system. Their space suits protected their bodies from the flames' heat. Even if both astronauts were engulfed in oxygen enriched flames during the ejection, their suits will keep them safe enough to pass through the flames. Perhaps just their top layers would be charred.

Both have incredibly intelligent ways of going about it. RFA has it right to leverage the incredible manufacturing already present in other industries but only if they make the correct concessions and override their algorithm when necessary. For now the most recent thing I can find about them is from March saying that their flight has been delayed. ISAR's taking a huge risk, the investment of resources and time to create a production line that works with all the other companies gunning for the same pot is immense. But yeah, vertical integration can be incredibly powerful when competitors don't. But again, not knowing where to make concessions limits flexibility and cost benefits. Even Apple, the paragon of Vertical integration in tech doesn't make 100% of their devices if someone else can make it better at the scales they need.

5:28 Elon gave himself away, he's an alien))

Elon Musk as Ostap Bender, you have to manage to make NASA money))

He has 2 different colored eyes :)

Wowo keren Indonesia maju terus tagu keren banget Indonesia maju terus

This sounds s sooo exciting

You sooo beautiful king abd gracious

Elon musk is my solar plexus Chernobyl

36:33 You said in a video that the Falcon 9 booster spends a minute or so above the karman line? Well, I timed it here and it spent 2 minutes 46 seconds above the karman line.

Neither is chelsea

So what you think cyan is going to get that money if it exists. That's exactly what isn't going to happen. Haha. Russian rockets.

Can I have some technical details here?

People handling iPhones in the wind, 140m up in the air. No hard-tops required on site 👍

1 among 8 billion, literally the best❤

Good grief, five years later and we are still waiting for the first launch of the New Glenn, we might see the first launch in 2026! Meanwhile Falcon Heavy has had 9 successful launches so far and 3 test launches of Starship plus a test launch of SLS! I think this video was a little premature! :-)

"although arguably, now that you mention it..." Elons wheels were racing instantly. a really good question to the right person. he's not afraid to change things now!!

Their English pronunciation is pretty impressive for Germans.

Not sure if that’s gonna work out. Notice the flames from the Raptor engines could melt the Booster’s wings (or whatever it’s called). The exhaust from the Raptor engines can melt or bend the wings of the Booster. Tell the Booster Engineers to go back to the Drawing board & fix the Raptor engines flame 🔥 on the booster wings. Sorry great idea 💡 but it’s not gonna work.

If they added actual hinges it would explode(it was going to anyways)

Good luck wish you all the success you should have.

Which starship mission will be the first to not have an explosive failure?

If the temperature is the problem, why don't they make it of tungsten then?

By the time the Starliner actually makes it to ISS, guess how many times Dragon will have already been there. Place your bets!

Now analyse an electromagnetic launch tunnel that exits at over 1500kph from an equatorial mountain peak with a scramjet first stage.

Sounds sketchy. In the full video you really get an idea for how bulky and heavy that engine looks. Meanwhile it poduced just 120 bar. That thing won’t leave the ground

He also start eating alot more during the modification, i guess late night junkfood😅
