The untimely demise of that Barry satellite did lead to one if the most sci-fi headlines I've seen: Contact lost with quantum drive spacecraft
They could call the next one 'Event Horizon'
with that beautiful pronunciation of "mirrorless" now I really want to hear scott say "burglar alarm". "mirrorless burglar alarm"
😂😂😂
Mirrorless purple burgular alarm
How about "Purple Burglar Alarm"
mirthless?

It's a great dad joke to say that the air and space museum is poorly named because it's full of stuff.
Is that located in Buenos Aires?
That’s what you get on a skate board.
Ah! EXPLORER! I kept hearing "exploder." Honestly, I think that'd be a pretty cool award too.
With a yearly black tie awards ceremony, honourable mentions, marks for style, flamboyance, altitude, extra marks for a night performance, etc...
@@GarrettDevitt : I wish this existed.
Is there a way I could promote someone for membership in the exploder club?
@@easygoing2479 In which category? Amateur, commercial, military?
That's only because Scott kept saying "Exploder", which Would be a really cool award.
Possibly some cross-over from the Darwin Awards...
Considering the loss of lift and the extreme imbalance associated with losing a rotor blade, it’s a miracle that Ingenuity is sitting upright. 😳
Luck.

Ryan Hansen's work was a good portion of the latest CSI Starbase video about the booster failure possible mechanisms in the latest flight. 80 minutes whale of a video but really goes into the details. What stood out for me was the amount of hard work and ingenuity it took to obtain the speed and acceleration profiles if the booster during hot staging by the telemetry and painstakingly matching the animation to the footage frame by frame. Impressive as hell.
Yes, it really is a deep dive into the physics of what went on. Thoroughly captivating. Hard work.
The length of the plume on that Starship launch is insane. It's nearly half a kilometer of burning methane!
"The other guy has a new super weapons and we are all gonna Die!" Is always a good way to get Congress to increase your budget.
2:22 Interesting to see the Kraken eye stalks waving around inside that booster.
Bravo to Ingenuity for managing to still land after losing a wing. The little robot copter is a champ.
13:00 wait wait wait, so the "Sean's Cannery" part manufacturer in Kerbal Space Program is based on a real company? Neat.
Varda (not Rocketlab) makes the reentry capsule and all the drug manufacturing equipment inside. Rocketlab provides their photon satellite bus that provides power, prop, and comms until separation and reentry
Lol, "can run DooM" wasn't expecting that! Totally busted up laughing!
3:31 “collins aerospace doing testing of their Zerg space suit” oh how i wish the subtitles were true
Incredible. 14:31 The legendary exploder is a great honor to get, Starship, Fat Man, and the Crab Nebula are all legendary exploders.
You forget Tsar Bomba, Castle Bravo and Ivy Mike. Legendary exploders all.
Awe, a true living legendary explorer!
Does Ripple Rock count too? It was quite legendary!
Thanks pal, I just laughed out loud sitting on the sh*tter at work.
I am so damn sad that the power failed on the IVO, I was looking forward to the results, whichever way it might have gone.
Armadillo Aerospace, that's a name that I used to hear a lot and eagerly awaited their videos...
Enough processing power to run doom, so thats what Carmack has been up to :D
Ah, but can it run it well enough to fight through Cosmogenesis map 5 or Profane Promiseland? :D
(If yes, maybe they could donate it to Coincident when they're done with their sciencing?)
The Exploder Club! 🤣
I love Scott's Scottish accent. Keep being awesome!

Excellent video - good to see Rusty receive the acclaim he deserves - Apollo 9 was a tricky assignment - taking an untested spacecraft that had no heatshield and travelling away from the CSM and overcoming the EVA issues was remarkable !
Never gets credit for his work on Skylab. Rusty was backup commander for Pete Conrad and helped a lot in finding a fix for the lost sunshield. He did the EVA studies in the pool to test deployment of different shades.
Surprised he didn’t mention the free Ornithopter DLC that was added to Microsoft Flight Simulator this week. It combines his love of sci-fi and flight.
That Barry story had my mind going instantly to the show Archer. Barry-1 was sabotaged by Other Barry.
And the ever-so-inquisitive Barry, Barry-Um?
He did stream the Ornithopter over on his Twitch gaming channel, pretty entertaining.
Being in the Exploder's Club is truly an amazing honor!
Thanks for the updates, Scott! 😊
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Good report Thanks, Scott.
Thanks for the video scott!
Good update Scott, thanks!
By far the best up dates!
Thanks Scott
14:40 EXPLORER! I kept hearing "exploder."
If NASA made the WB57 footage, is it not ALL in the public domain?
Thanks Scott! Great video as ever, please keep up the good work! 🙂😎🤓❤
Would love to see a video that goes over the history of the Mir space station, especially since it's been mostly forgotten since the rise of the ISS
Thank you , Sir!
Thanks Scott!
Great video, Scott...👍
Love your intro. Hi its scott manley here. With that deeper voice, just amazing. keep it up bud.
I wonder if CSI Starbase spilled the beans on those "trade secrets".
That channel is crazy, came out of nowhere and it's just plain awesome.
I think the more likely answer is that the “trade secrets” are just design flaws that make them look bad
Thank You
love Imperial stouts too. Not had any from Sierra Nevada yet, But Torpedo is a favourite 😀
Thanks 😊
My best guess is that SpaceX retraced footage that shows the grid fins tilting to give Super Heavy a nudge to the side via Starship's engine exhaust. Duh.
Hi Scott!
Fly safe!
drugs from space! my former 90's raver self would be amazed at the progress we have made
In my day drugs were how you got to space

Congratulations to Rusty! He has certainly earned that award.
I love this series. Would you be willing to bookmark sections?
8:07 i really hope it’s right so that way we can have rowboats in space
The shadow at 11.43 is interesting ;) almost a bit naughty LOL
If they weren't so easily able to change the parameters of the hot staging event by software changes, I'd say that what they need is one heck of a gigantic Propellant Management Device (aka baffles and the like to prevent propellant slosh) at the bottom of the SuperHeavy Booster's propellant tanks.
As is, I think that if they go a little easier on the staging (by for instance commanding less engines to shut off at any one instant, and stretching out the overall hot staging process over more time than was seen on IFT2), then that alone might be enough of a change to allow the booster to survive staging.

Could you also do a video on how plasma wind tunnels work? They are frequently used to test reentry and I am not smart enough to understand the scientific papers and articles behind how they work. I know you posted a video of a similar kind of of wind tunnel that used electron beam fluorescence to highlight the shockwave around a small model spacecraft, but those kinds of wind tunnels are not able to replicate the intense heating from what I understand. On the other hand, plasma wind tunnels are somehow able to actually produce a high temperature plasma shockwave that can actually melt and destroy what ever you are testing it on
always so very interesting
John The Man Carmack, ell yeah good old Quake days ;)
I heared e"xploders club" on the second mention.:)
Scott, given both Nova-c and the Japanese moon landers falling over on landing, can you discuss the risk and mitigation of something like starship (much taller) trying the same. Since right now SpaceX is landing from boost back, not from an orbital. Thanks
It's kinda wild that spaceX is closing in on a decade of landing falcon 9s. Their launch cadence is 🤯.
Don't forget SpicyX is the secret sauce
That Nikon camera also said it was "full frame". That's also a big deal. It means no more rolling shutter where things get warped. It grabs and sends the entire huge mega-pixel image in one go.
[edit: It's been pointed out to me that I'm wrong on "full frame". It matches the full frame size of 35mm film. The term I was thinking of was "global shutter". I'm smarter now!]
No, it doesn't. Full Frame means the sensor is the same size as a 135 format peice of film.
The way to get rid of Rolling Shutter warping, is to use a Global Shutter, regardless of the size of the sensor.
There's plenty of Full Frame Rolling Shutter sensors, and they have pretty damn horrid wobbles and read-out skew. There are very few Full Frame Global Shutter sensors.
The Nikon Z-9 shown in the video has a Rolling Shutter Sensor, all be it one with a very fast readout.
@@PiDsPagePrototypes Thanks for the correction. I'll be correcting my original comment.
@@thanksfernuthin I'm one of those crazy people, that bought the AJA Cion, a Global Shutter Cinema Camera that is well, a bit different and takes more practice to get right.
I’ll miss the mirror clicking sound when taking photos in future.
Midderless! Love that accent, Scott. ❤😂
I'm not sold on the mirror-less cameras. Had a friend drop by to show off one they just got and after only a couple hours of experimenting with settings and shooting things it was dead and we had to wait for it to charge. DSLRs can easily go days on a charge thousands of shots unless you are doing video or flash photos. I guess if they sent a bunch of them they can rotate thru which is charging and which is in use as they run down...
Great battery life on my Fuji X-T5. But yeah, they're sending up 13 Z9s, so probably no problem with keeping enough charged.
Go Rusty!! Worked for him many years ago.
Thankful for these late night videos🙏
Nice
I wonder how a DSLR shutter works in Zero G. Would be cool to watch.
Re Asat weapons: any MIRV ICBM/SLBM with 10,000+ km range is an ASAT weapon when fitted with a single warhead.
You said explorers club, but I heard "Exploders Club" which also sounds fun.
Hey scott, I'm sure it's been asked before but where did you get all those rocket models?
Explorers and Exploders are both essential for space missions
0:40 Question: Why are the tubes.hoses disconnected after 1sec, while the rocket is at least 1 meter up?
Scott kept saying Explorers and all I heard was EXPLODERS CLUB
Beware the ides of March for spacex launch, seems he likes the analogy of things
The sojus 2.1v is basically just a r-7 or simple semjorka befor 5 of them where put to one
Scott, please reframe Dark Bramble on the wall behind you! It is slipping in the frame!
I heard what sounded like a rocket fly over eastern NC on the 15th around noon. It was not a jet as those fly over our houses all the time and they aren't even as loud as this was. I've never personally experienced a launch but it's the only thing I can think of to describe it. I never saw whatever it was and I didn't see any trail. It lasted about 30 seconds or so before it tapered off into the distance. It went from North(ish) to South. I couldn't find anything. I checked out this video to see if anything flew over but doesn't look like it.
Are the models in your background of similar scale? Surely the Saturn V and Delta IV Heavy are. But the Vulcan?
Is that Ball related to Ball monitors about 50 years ago?
Is Jim Lovell in the Explorers club? I know he envisioned his Apollo missions as modern Lewis and Clark expeditions.
Going forward, will the delta v be stored in the BAE?
i think the starship has been sidways on pourpose in the belly flop tests, the stresses would most likely be greater then it would be sitting on its belly on a stand.
It seems like one of Ingenuity's rotor blades came off in the air and with a wobbly landing it hit one of the other rotors on the ground. If that's the case it's shocking that it made it back to the ground with the legs down.
It may have damaged the other blades with a partial disintegration, at which point the other blades
completed it's detachment. We may never know.

Hey Scott, long term fan, been wondering about staged combustion engines:
In a staged combustion engine, weather it's full flow or not, how do the exhaust gases from the pre burners enter the main combustion chamber? Surely traditional injection methods wouldn't work with gas? Or maybe pressure is high enough that the gases condense back to liquid (this seems very unlikely, just speculating)? Would love to hear about this
Cheers
For starship, if I had to guess, they want to rotate the spaceship so the fuel goes to the sides of the tanks where the baffling is during the separation process.
May i ask where you bought the launch tower for your lego saturn rocket??😮😮
Love to own one.❤
And by the way, your channel is awesomely cool. 😊😊
Thanks for calling out the conspiracy of the Laws of Physics!
Exploders club sounds wayyy different haha
You did a video 3-4 years ago about an accident with a Russian launch and strangely significant radiation was released. Any chance thatigjt have been related to the recent news about nukes in space?
Tiles coming off on the way up without even being hit by any object (like on the space shuttle) is no good at all.
That's why the whole system is still a WIP.
Narwhal? Nice choice, Scott.
Cheers
Why don't the fuel tanks have a cover over the liquid fuel? Like a syringe plunger. Except it floats on the liquid and locks when the thrust stops?
Drat! They missed my house! >_>
Today, Feb 15th 0616 local EST here in South Jersey, the ISS flew overhead from SE to NE. As I was watching, another illuminated object appeared next to the ISS, which was super neat. The speed of this 2nd object was DEF faster because it closed in on the ISS and passed the ISS. Its brilliance was almost as bright, if not brighter, than the ISS. Progress
I bet the x37b is up to all sorts of skullduggery
Regarding IM-1 and the SpaceX 2nd stage, where did it end up? Going to deep space, or did it enter a long elliptical orbit, that will decay. Guessing based on last 55 second delta-v burn, it didn't have much fuel post burn. (burn started from ~225 km, and data-v was 26,600 km/h to ~38,000 km/h ... in 55 sec)
11:50 Perseverance rover should have lifted a wheel and spun it at whatever speeds so it could play Taps on Mars for Ingenuity
What I don't get is why bother with explosives in space at all? Isn't it far simpler to just pick an orbit where you have vastly higher kinetic energy and destroy another spacecraft that way? The velocities out there are incredibly high after all.
Indeed, doesn't pass the smell test. It's like developing a fighter jet because you want to commute two miles to work
Yes, but then you have to be really accurate --- spacecraft are tiny. A nuclear fireball is so much larger and therefore easier to target. Plus, even near misses will cause enough radiation and EMP damage to render the target inoperable, even if it's outside physical damage range.
Also, explosions in space are generally a really bad idea. Unlike in air, the material ejected from the blast, including shrapnel, does not slow down. Being hit by shrapnel from a blast in space a thousand miles away is no different to being right next to it.
Not only that, but Russia has Plenty of their own satellites in orbit, and they would also suffer the same fate.
Yeah it's more CIA lies, makes zero sense to anyone with a brain.
@Scott, wondering if you can explain why items released from ISS are pushed directly aft along the orbit rather than down towards the earth?
He has a video on this! ISS orbits.
Is quantized inertia Lorentz invariant or does it depend on a preferred reference frame? Not that the later is fatal but I'm wondering how this theory deals with reference frames.
Is there an IRT tracking app as now that I live far from light pollution I spend a lot of time looking up. Thanks

Exploder Award. 😁
4:00 does it seem a bit off that this analog test should have a crew of people to manage the umbilical cable for a simulation of a space suit?
Wasn't Alfred Nobel the original member of the Exploders Club?
That consumed near 100% of my brainpower over the course of almost a second
IVO has said they're not looking for investors until the drive works.
I hope I can be in the exploder club someday
