Hello Electrical engineering student here mid semester 30 minutes ago I was in a real bad mood about the amount of homework we got over the weekend and the upcoming mid semester tests, and now, after watching your video of the whole process and the final outcome, I got cheered up and motivated again for the study of my passion. You inspired and continue inspiring a generation of future engineers and for that I'm only greatfull. Thanks Mark.
I have to say, I was feeling the exact same way. I was losing such motivation, (also an electrical engineer!) And now I remember exactly why I'm doing what I'm doing, and I know that it will be hard but rewarding
i'm blown away by how much effort this was...you just say "a couple months later" and it takes us three seconds to watch. i'm so amazed. props to you for all the hard work you put into this and all of your videos. they are a joy to watch.
The Most Phenomenal thing about this is that this didnt feel like a youtube video, it felt like it was a documentary about a mission with such a high hill to overcome it felt impossible.
There are many documentaries uploaded to youtube! The University of Southern California has a rocket program run by students, and a few years ago they uploaded a documentary they made detailing their sounding rocket that was able to reach space via powered thrust.
I love that the majority of the video is about failure. None of that prevents you from moving forward. This video would have been amazing even if the eggs had broken. It’s your great attitude and joy of learning that is so valuable
As an engineer, the most relatable thing I’ve ever heard on this channel is “Our project ending death spiral was caused by a single rogue negative sign”
It's sad that channels that supposedly are all about teaching science, still choose to say these balloons go to space, when they know very well, they don't go anywhere near space. These weather balloon projects only go to about 30 km. Space is defined to start at 100 km.
I really appreciated the way you talked about the failures. Specifically the big one, the interface between the systems... Feeling like a failure defines you is crippling and you showed the healthy way of coping with and framing failure as an opportunity for growth. That's huge. Thanks for the mental health awareness and just real human feelings you bring to your videos.
Literally went to college to be an engineer because of your videos. Stuff like this is amazing and so cool that you can get so many people involved in these types of videos.
I cant imagine what it feels like to work on something for months only to recognize a critical error at the very end and have to postpone or even scrap those months of work. So much respect for yalls fortitude and determination for pushing forward regardless of setbacks.
It's oddly uplifting. If they can hold to it for that long merely for the satisfaction of dropping an egg, then it begs the question what else can one accomplish if they put their mind to the task?

@@sabrinakingsley798 Er what? It was stated that creating and distribute a how to, on how to create a precision guided missile was illegal; He neither created, nor distributed how to create a precision guided missile. He made and demonstrated a FAILED prototype, but since it wasn't working, it doesn't count as an actual missile legally... nor did he explain how they made it either, he went over the core concepts, but not how it was put together.
The best part of the whole thing is that they try again and again, this truly gives the urge of succeeding the goal. It's overall a thrill to watch this.
Don't forget this aint cheap and Marks budget comes from a YT channel bringing in a lot of dole per month. So yeah its impressive, but most of us would have to quit at this due to selling the house at some point or not knowing the rocket dude or literal NASA people etc.

@DarkCoreX I'm not saying that he isn't talented at building things and making cool UA-cam videos that are obviously lucrative. But just putting food on the table isn't the same as being a loving caring father.
As a former space operations officer in the US Air Force, I LOVE everything about this video. As a musician I have to ask: what bass guitars does Adam Steltzner have along the wall behind him??!!

I feel like you are probably the only person to ever accidentally almost make a precision guided missile, let alone whilst trying to make an egg survive going to space. Well done, these are always so interesting and funny.
Thank you for the words of encouragement! I'll keep that in mind and continue to tackle challenges with a positive attitude. Can't wait to see my growth and progress.

I may not know anything about physics or space stuff but I just loved this whole for all the dedication you guys put in this project from start to finish,it was so nice to see you guys smile in the end when,even when things didn't went the way you hope,it was successful. Great video,you guys are the best!
I would personally love a Mark Rober video instructing me on how to make a precision-guided thermonuclear intercontinental ballistic missile. But that may just be me.
I think this is one of my favorite videos. It shows the trial and error of engineering and how tedious and precise you have to be with these things. Like even a slight miscalculation can effect the entire thing. But it’s important to keep trying and not give up no matter how difficult it may seem.
4:53 Interesting to inadvertently see how effective chaff is at jamming signals. Also mad props to Joe for coding an entire fin control system only to be given the passive fins in the end.

@@sabrinakingsley798 Did you lol. When they realized what they were trying to make was illegal they stopped and changed plans to an unguided drop. They never actually made a guided missile.
It's amazing that Mark can make so many inventions at one time and all work on them at different times so if one fails he has another backup one for the video!
I'm an embedded systems engineer and my focus these days is integration V&V; I have been in that situation so many times where each modules perform perfectly but the integrated system fails. Interface diagrams (physical, power, and data interfaces) are so helpful for pointing out your blind spots. Great job to the whole team for taking the L, working through the problems and coming up with multiple successful solutions.
As long as humans have walked the earth, we have looked to the stars. The sense of adventure, the patience, tenacity and the incredibly hard work of you and your team are genuinely awe-inspiring. This video was beyond. In every sense of the word. Thank you so much for creating it!
This is really crazy. Mark, your friends are the coolest and you are the coolest guy in UA-cam. It's an admirable feat y'all have done even if it's something you didn't expect to go along your way but the egg survived!

Crazy how he still *monetized* the illegal content he confessed was illegal. Smaller youtubers wouldn't get away with that, but this guy knows people and has money so I guess it is okay
The details they needed to make this video….absolutely amazing.
Is there a psychological reason I love scenes of control rooms breaking into cheers and applause? Gets me every time.
i think it’s the feeling of accomplishment, relief and happiness all at once as a team
Probably
I think it's because it signals that something monumental just happened, something incredibly difficult.
Touchdown confirmed, we’re safe on mats is some of the most moving words I’ve ever heard
It makes me cry literally everytime
I love how he takes the simplest things and makes them extreme
I love how he thinks he's a really cool dad but his kids are embarrassed to be around him. Maybe he should focus on being a better father rather than just building weird science projects.
@@Steve76777 he isn’t making weird science projects, he’s making world history, and teaching us how some things work aswell as entertaining us

I don't want to know how you build things. I want to know how you manage dozens of massive scale projects simultaneously. The multitasking is blowing my mind
I was already amazed when an 83mph egg didn't smash against the mattress
I feel like you are probably the only person to ever accidentally almost make a precision guided missile, let alone whilst trying to make an egg survive going to space. Well done, these are always so interesting and funny.

I do wonder what their margin of safety was, especially given the failures.
@@Petercraft_ look outside
do you see any houses near them?
i cannot imagine seeing this all in detail
I love that instead of grabbing an egg from any other nest, he chose to grab an egg from underneath the one chicken in the roost

Suffer my wrath
I love how they apparently only brought one egg for their first launch attempt.

I love how he realizes he's basically making a guided missile
What he's really built is a way to deliver a guided warhead by using a weather balloon. Simply replace the egg with your choice of weaponized warhead.

@@sabrinakingsley798 what are you on about lol
@@sabrinakingsley798 ? he didnt make it tho
The fact that he is working on another project that is just amazing and he will be doing it for another 2 years before we see it amazes me.
the most impressive part is that he is always juggling these multi-year projects, just look at the domino robot or the homing dart board and yet he still manages to put out 12 of them a year
@@DoctorBones1 yeah, he literally has 5-6 projects going on at the same time and still manages to put out top quality content
When did he say this?
Isn't the dart technically a guided missle.
i dont know why but I would hatch the egg just to have achicken that went to space.
What I learned from this video is: you don't always need a rocket to safely land an egg, sometimes a stuffed beach ball will be enough
I may not know anything about physics or space stuff but I just loved this whole for all the dedication you guys put in this project from start to finish,it was so nice to see you guys smile in the end when,even when things didn't went the way you hope,it was successful.
Great video,you guys are the best!
I would personally love a Mark Rober video instructing me on how to make a precision-guided thermonuclear intercontinental ballistic missile. But that may just be me.
Toxicasian… Kim Jong Un, is that you?
.... You want mark to make a ICBM?
The fbi would like to know your location
I think he could only do that if he lived on an independent colony.
Using common, household ingredients, yes? LOLOLOLOL
Mark and BPS Space, the collaboration we didn’t know we wanted, but we definitely needed.

When he said the guidance system on the first prototype failed because of "a single rogue negative sign in the code"..
I felt that.
I'm sure every programmer in the world, myself included, felt that one.
That would have been an awful feeling.
Yep!
I’m not even a programmer, just done coding here and there for fun, and I felt that. I can only imagine the frustration y’all go through. XD
felt it in my soul

I think this is one of my favorite videos. It shows the trial and error of engineering and how tedious and precise you have to be with these things. Like even a slight miscalculation can effect the entire thing. But it’s important to keep trying and not give up no matter how difficult it may seem.
4:53 Interesting to inadvertently see how effective chaff is at jamming signals. Also mad props to Joe for coding an entire fin control system only to be given the passive fins in the end.

I'm an embedded systems engineer and my focus these days is integration V&V; I have been in that situation so many times where each modules perform perfectly but the integrated system fails. Interface diagrams (physical, power, and data interfaces) are so helpful for pointing out your blind spots. Great job to the whole team for taking the L, working through the problems and coming up with multiple successful solutions.
Yea, I'm surprised that they were not all working off of a centralized master CAD file for the interface.
