Why It's So Difficult to Build a Ballistic Missile
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 сер 2017
- If you ever get nervous about missile attacks, they're actually a lot harder to make than you might think. To hopefully put your mind more at ease, Hank is here to talk about the work that goes into designing and building ICBMs in this new episode of SciShow!

We had a distracting glitch in our last upload, so this is a re-upload from a few minutes ago. Thank you so much to those of you who pointed it out!
Ya yeet
We thought for a second that NK nuked your HQ :)
SciShow Damn North Koreans!!!!
thats the pentagon not wanting you to tell the turth. jk its google agenda
SciShow Hank, what exactly is freaking out too much?
The easiest ICBM to build: a rock thrown across the Bosporus in Istanbul. It’s a missile, it’s ballistic, and it crosses a boundary between continents!
And if it hits the right person, it might even start a war. It ticks all the icbm boxes
can do the same between russia alaska island
😂😂😂😂
@trevenman missile is a weapon that is shot /thrown even a stick van be a missile
@@RR-us2kp but ICBMs are meant to stop wars...
Hank was definitely put on a watchlist while he was researching this.
indeed jijijijiijijiijijijiijijijiij
Stop Hank! The North Koreans are watching this!
not sure they track Wikipedia that well. Knowledge is one thing, but doing it is sooo much harder.(And easier to notice.)

Very nicely explained !
Why are icbms so hard? I think it has something to do with their shape.
PaleGhost69 they have to be pointy
paperitgel98 round is not scary
"Round would just bounce off"
Fun fact: some ICBMs (including the Atlas mentioned in my other comment) weren't hard in that sense -- it was held up by the pressure in the fuel tanks (replaced by pressurized nitrogen as the fuel burned), if the tanks were punctured it'd collapse. Which, uh, now that I think about it, is exactly the same mechanism, isn't it? :p
Halsey Lynn it needs to stick into the ground
"I'm not going to go into specifics, for obvious reasons."
Kim Jong Un: "Damn!"
You have just accelerated N Korea's missile program by 5 years!
Gene Constantinou Are you in 5th grade?
What propelled you to think I was serious about the statement above?
Funny when an idiot calls someone an idiot.
NK has verifiably tested serveral underground nukes. NK also verifiably put an object into orbit... not quite as hard as delivering a warhead on the tip of an ICBM but close.
What will accelerate NK's nuke program us to threaten it with imminent attack. What is likely to defuse the program is to tie trade relations directly to the state of their program. More program = less trade.
Gene Constantinou they are still 30 years behind
I mean, if I can do it in KSP, it can't be that hard, right?
I made one in KSP with RSS and RO and it burned up in reentry , even that it had a lunar capable heat shield, but probably in stock it will be much easier.
@@myrmecologistjp9228 my icbm went to mun...
@@akbarputraa7574 you are playing on stock solar system,not rss/ro
Pretty crazy how they made an ICBM in the 1950's and 1960's with the technology they had back then
Instructions unclear. ICBM stuck in North Korea :(
Larry Wang Quick! detonate it.
_instruction nuclear, ICBM detonation failed successfully_
Oops
"Some even farther" Yes one of them got us to the moon.
[thinks about it]
no
After watching this you still believe they went? 🤦🏾♂️
@@dltreecare6031 wut?
It's reassuring knowing that Hank knows more about ICBMs than North Korean scientists
lol not exactly a highbar. Relatively speaking. They could also just ("just"), pull a The Donald and get enough americans or who ever pissed off and let them do your work for you. Now you can also send them a rick roll video and burnt bacon.
Does it need to be pointy? Cause it looks scary.!
No, some people make it into a giant cube.
Why planes are pointy???
No, They need to have a round tip.
If they weren't pointy, there would be no point to it.
otherwise it will just bounce off!
Im going to also point out that nukes and H bombs are generally detonated quite far above the ground. If you go for a large depleted uranium slug instead of a bomb then it can cause similar damage without the radiation fallout of a nuke, the difference being that it needs to go faster, it needs more mass, and it actually has to hit the ground and not break apart during reentry.
These ICBM''s sound great! Hope to see every country can use these in abundance on one another.
This is a wonderful idea for a topic. This is exactly why I happily support you on Patreon. Keep up the wonderful work, thank you!
"Why is it so hard to buld an ICBM?"
Are you trying to build an ICBM?
Yes. The parts are just sitting in my backyard.
North korean scientists lowkey watching this video, taking notes
you cant, they have the slowest internet
and kin jon un only allows 12 approved websites
REPLY
Sure man a bunch a Korean genius watch UA-cam videos trying to figure out how to make a missile im sure a lot of countries have them they just keep it in secret because you know how USA like to put there nose the soonest they dont like something and nuclear missile is one of them for sure.
They don't have UA-cam though
@@alaminmalik179 Or DONT THEY?????
@@doodleboi7034 what?
after watching this video I am now highly qualified to be a rocket scientist in North Korea
It was cool when the Black Mesa East people renovated that ICBM and launched it into the Citadel.
Shard_Piece Was that in Half-Life 3? I get them mixed up.
HL2 Episode 2 ;)
That was white forest.
But some of the research was in BME
Well, should have called them the "rebels", then.
Please post a blueprint with all the specs for an ICBM. I would like to build one during my breaks from work.
Thanks for everything you do, love all content from you and your brother!!!!
I absolutely love the sheer number of sources every Scishow video comes with. That makes it so much more real than ever other fact channel I enjoy.
good evening sir, I'm so impressed your valuable information thank you sir. I have a plan for my country so help.
NICE JOB!
Hank, ever the upbeat optimist. Thank you for the reassurance 😊
You know what to make a video on sci show... That's why we love you ;)
Koreans probs learnt the most ever about icbms from this vid
ferrari8595 You can't make nuclear ICBMs with just the basic concepts from this video. They already know them anyway.
Actually the ruling elite in NK will likely have internet, the citizens however have a nationwide intranet.
ferrari8595
Yeah they still use Fax machines to communicate with the US. Look it up lol
Dont underestimate the power of NK. This is the biggest mistake that the west does
They have internet but they lack of brainpower
Few people in their country can get access to real knowledge.
Serious question: Can the nukes destroy the white walkers plus the night king?
Only if the tamper between the primary fission layer and the hydrogen fusion layer is made of dragon glass. You know nothing, Rizwan Snow? ;D
Rizwan Msuya it could potentially change the climate beyond the wall
Um, YES.
"The Skinwalker was too much for my magic. Thankfully, a nuclear test on Nevada was scheduled that day "
Rizwan Msuya The 🐉 are Nukes.
Your tutorial worked super well, thanks!
Wow that was very interesting!
Wouldn't it just be way easier to use FedEx ?
The unit patch for the minuteman missle crews is the dominos pizza logo.
The dots are replaced with a missile, the text is "minuteman III" and its ringed saying "worldwide delivery in 30 minutes or less"
I saw one near the Moscow on the wheels like Topol M it s longitude is longer than my 9flor block house
Thank you for the subtitles .
Love it! As an Air Defender in the US Army, your video is very good. Don't freak out it is harder than it seems...
Poland: "so what I'm getting is...
I can into space? 😲"
not gonna go into details for obvious reasons.. like people might try to make they're own nuclear weapons at home, or north korea is going to discover how to build nuclear weapons because of this video lmao
Nah, more like it is literal rocket science and will take forever to detail in a video.
The reason they didn't go into detail is because they don't know. The researchers at SciShow aren't knowledgeable enough to understand how to do that. That's PhD level.
Also they call it thermonuclear ICBM when ICBM is just a missile, carrier whereas the warhead which is thermonuclear. And may it be ICBM, MRBM or SRBM the main issue and challenge is telemetry which is way harder to calculate and plot rather then making bombs.
No, they left out the incredibly difficult process of creating weaponized nuclear energy. Making the missile is the easy part. It's the warhead that takes massive amounts of money, labor and science to create.
Really good synopsis. Thank you
Your thumbnail is of the peacekeeper missles displayed at F.E. Warren AFB in my hometown of Cheyenne Wyoming. Neat.
1:57 misspelled "accelerate" :(
Building ICMBs are easy. I learned how to do it over the weekend using Skillshare
Can you build a thermonuclear bomb? You don't have to use a ICBM if you build the bomb at the location where you want to detonate it.
I love how you explained this
I always wondered what was so hard about building an intercontinental ballistic missile thanks.
The easiest way is to slingshot missile into space using an already drilled hole for an empty reservoir oil rig, saving a ton of fuel.
When Force becomes Forc, world will tremble.
If you're observant enough, you'll get it.
Accelrate too
Hank i like your sense of humour and also how thorough you are when presenting us any topic. You have the nag of telling us all the pros and cons about the subject at hand. About nuclear weapons, the only way i was able to make peace with them was to think that the last reason we have to keep them around (and even perfect them) is to protect ourselves from the eventuality of a giant meteor colliding with earth, but even that method might turn out to be in vain because bombs in the vacuum of space have much less efficiency. Thanks for all those SciShow episodes and i hope your team will keep producing more of these on a regular basis. DFTBA :-)
Finally an answer for my question. I've been having trouble with this
They have nukes
We have memes
"I'm not going to go into very much detail about this for obvious reasons"...yeah, because if you explained it more I'd suddenly have the means to build a nuclear weapon.
sithlordmaster181 You forget the most difficult part, access to uranium/parts and the cost of it.
Well that's just his way to say "I don't know"
Only a Sith deals in absolutes. I will do what I must.
@@justaknight4719 Exactly. The knowledge needed to produce an inefficient but working A-bomb has been publicly available for around half a century, and I would imagine that for a number of years by now the same holds true for H-bombs. Somewhere during the 70's the US government handed an assignment to an average university student who was randomly picked: try to design a functioning A-bomb within 4 weeks, and by exclusively using publicly available knowledge such as books from his (university) library as his source. Once he had finished the assignment his design and calculations would be reviewed by a nuclear physicist who had experience in actual nuclear weapons design, to determine if the design made by the student was actually viable and functioning. As you probaply figured out already the device the student has designed would have worked, and with a fission efficiency comparable to that off the first nuclear weapons.
And like you correctly mentioned, the only factor which prevents people, organisations, or nations from building them is the difficulty of producing enough of a fissionable isotope for a bomb, and at a high enough purity. Even a nation such as North-Korea, which although one of the least developed and most backwards countries on earth, nonetheless still has plenty of resources and has poured a lot of money into it, yet it took them half a dozen tries before they managed to produce a reasonably functioning and efficient nuclear bomb. So the last thing to worry about would be nuclear proliferation thanks to a UA-cam video....
LT89NL you could provide more information on this? Possible a link? It’s sounds like a really interesting story.
Youre awesome Hank!
Damn it Hank, don't give them intel, cause this is totally new and top secret information
Real ICBMs have LAYERS
Ogres have LAYERS
Hahaha
Kev the Kev Onions have layers, and Rockets have layers
no ogres have lairs not layers
Do Donkeys have layers?
Also worth specifying they’re not fired _at_ their target like a conventional missile, they’re fired into space and fall on their target in a ballistic trajectory
SciShow is one of the best UA-cam video makers ever.
I love hank. His mannerisms/expressions are so funny.
This explains why my ICBMs never seem to work
Cypher791 you need Jesus
who is jesus?
jesus is not anything, but Jesus is the person who will save you butt!
edit sentence structure.
yah il ask for forgiveness on my deathbed but in the mean time i wont worry about it =]
You do you you need to accept Jesus that is all that matters
I bet William osman can build a icbm b4 North Korea with only his laser cutter and some plywood
this guy knows his stuff. good vid
Awesome job Hank
I just had an intercontinental bowel movement while watching this video.
Germans are modern fathers of ICBM s V2
No, actually. V2 was fairly short ranged. The first icbm, the R7, was made after that by the Russians.
I love the mix of science and hardcore on this chanel.
Thank you so much I was having problems with my ICBM but now it works...😄
That's why it's best to build a thermonuclear bomb at the place you want to detonate it. Saves you building a ICBM.
"I'm not going into too much detail about this for obvious reasons", like the North-Korean nuclear physicists who have made functional nuclear bomb don't know more about nuclear physics then American entertainer and educator Hank Green.
the obvious reasons are because it's complicated
Rudd lol, brutal.
This
Yeah it was definitely a pretty pretentious remark..
😂😂😂 Best comment ever
Thank you for the video. ICBM do usually not count as WMD (I refer to the beginning of your video) but are often used to carry WMD. Just a detail.
Once I thought of it I couldn't stop hearing it as "I see BMs".
"What? Like everywhere or just in the toilet? Because we've all seen that."
Inter Continental Bowel Movement? Yeah - I'd say that's pretty hard to pull off for obvious reasons.
The Ultimate Reductionist Nah, you just gotta book a flight between touching continents, like Asia and Europe. Easy peasy.
Shall we play a game?
Thanks for calming my nerves with cold hard facts.
(Context necessary) 2:52 "When you build your weapon the right way" ... no judgement, mad sci-I mean Dr. Rick- I mean Hank ... ;)
The space program was a missile program. People forget just how many rockets blew up before they got things figured out.
"...sometimes it helps to understand the things, we're kinda freaked out by."
THIS. It pains me how many people are for example "anti-nuclear power" but don't understand an inch of what it is, how it works and what the pros and cons are. As usual, education is key.
ICBM = I see a Bowel Movement coming. If someone fires an ICBM at you, then you are guaranteed to have a Bowel Movement. This is a known fact. An Inter Continental Bowel Movement. Guaranteed!
great!!!
It's not hard if you have people that know what they're doing, a large scientific community, and a stable economy to fund development. It's why so many first world nations that can fund ICBM programs have built so many. NK can't afford to even feed their people, much less attract or nourish local scientists to design ICBMs, or engineers skilled enough to build them, or ways to efficiently mine/develop the resources required.
That's just the ICBM. Then you have everything needed for efficient nuclear warheads.
Dead Baron Spot on! However, North Korea might have trouble
but they're buddy buddy with China who I suspect might be assisting their program in one way or another. Although China did tell North Korea that they didn't wanna be friends anymore if they couldn't play nicely with the good ol U.S.A.
Uhmm you know they already built these, right?!
seasong Not reliably, however, and not in many numbers. Can the ones they have now launch successfully, guide successfully, and detonate reliably? With their track record and how they only recently had minor success, so far the evidence says no. For now.
...... Yet they have already tested 2?
UN just gave NK a couple million dollars to help feed their starving people. Guess where that went instead.
Why do stinkbugs stink?!
google it
Chemicals.
Magnets.
NoodKoala aliens!
Ikr scishow plz answer
Knowledge is power. People need this kind of thing to assuage their paranoia somewhat. Thanks.
While we were celebrating July 4th (Independence Day), North Korea was testing their first ICBMs. Classic!
Germany did this 80 years ago lol
Germany did your mom 80 years ago
The proposed Thor weapon is more terrifying than any ICBM. The Pentagon proposes putting mass-drivers into orbit which can fire steel rods from space with such speed that they've become superheated plasma by the time they hit the ground. It can't be intercepted, it can't be shot down, it can't be blocked, and it can be targeted at anyone or anything on the surface of the Earth.
I think kinetic bombardment is really overrated. The blast yields would be smaller or comparable to thermobaric weapons already in our arsenal, and although the response time would be unbeatable, the satellite has to already be in orbit over its target with a very very small window of opportunity - not to mention the tremendous costs that would be involved. Even with the advantage of what is essentially a fast-responding, non-interceptible thermobaric weapon, the use of conventional weapons as we deploy them today would be infinitely more cost effective.
A satellite like that would probably also be heavily susceptible to anti-satellite weapons, too, and then what? If a plane got shot down carrying a conventional bomb, oh well - we have plenty more of both those things. But if we spend untold amounts of money and time constructing this space station only to have to blown to bits in minutes by a couple of ASAT missiles, it would arguably be the greatest waste of money, time, and effort in the US military's history.
+Zane Shute, I think you do not realize the fact that SciShow is for 5 year olds.
What, my comment can't be as serious as his? I mean, nevermind that I'm not sure 5 year olds would be wanting to learn about the intricate details of how ICBMs work, but at least don't pretend that NoJusticeNoPeace's comment doesn't exist
its illegal to put weapons in space, well according to a treaty anyway.
I don't get what you're trying to say, but what I meant was that NoJusticeNoPeace is dumb, and that few people realize how complex the engineering behind the ICBMs is, I'm an electrical engineer myself, I might not know all of the engineering behind the ICBMs, but I do know it is ridiculously complex and impossible to comprehend for most people.
Good. I was trying to build one but it would not work. Now it can!
So the time to stop them is, BEFORE, they get an ICBM perfected. NOT at that time or after. So this does help us realize the quickness that this needs to happen. Thank you.

Me: Search on google what is ICBM
UA-cam: Here’s an ICBM Video
So not just rocket science but chemistry and knowledge in demolitions as well
What are the obvious reasons? So we cannot build it in our backyard?
'For obvious reasons' ffs- you don't know.
I'm an oxford educated physicist, i don't understand anymore than you do.
"For obvious reasons" does not mean the topic/know-how is obvious. It just means the _reasons why he won't talk about it_ are obvious.
"oxford educated physicist" .. you sure? :)
Very well said. Thank you for applying logic to disuade paranoia in an age where people feed off ignorant fear facebook media stupidity. I wish more people would explain things with such calm intellect.
Why not use a liquid coolant in the cone, that can also be turned into energy when the liquid turns to steam and use it as a propellant.
Can't burn a bottle full of water.
This might sound stupid and un-applyable to rocket a scientist, but it's surely a smart idea to me, how did you think about that
Steam doesn't produce enough inertial thrust to propel a rocket that weighs 78 tons. And even if it did, without some explosive in the warhead (which is now replaced with a liquid coolant) all you've accomplished is making a really heavy and precisely aimed rock.
Breaking news a man by hank green has been KIDNAPPED by North Korean leader Kim Jon uuuuuuuuuun, the chubby psycho baby is demanding poor hank to build an icbm, we'll get back to you with hanks decision, coming up neighbor hood cat sprinkles is stuck in a tree!
ha, when you said hank green I thought Red Green & some kind of a duct tape ICBM.
Then he becomes iron man.
Ethan Perron: I like that name. Psycho Baby fits to a “T”.
Its not hard to make ICBM if Russia gives you their own.
For an individual, it is hard....for a nation state...it is not. In fact North Korea is pretty close to having one. They just have to leapfrog using modern technology and gps.
No evidence.
This never happened. After the Cuban Missile Crisis, the USSR didn't spread nuclear weapons to any other country outside actual USSR member states.
OoOOoOoooIHhhHHHHH

I am getting less scared thanks Hank
After 5 years, this appeared on my recommended list for no reason.
If it's hard for more than 4 hours call a doctor.
I was a MT in the navy. I worked on and maintained the D-5 trident 2 missile. Yeah i worked on the biggest baddest weapon system ever devised. I could tell you how they work. lol
Say, if what you say is true, how did you become a missile technician after you enlisted? I've considered joining the Navy after high school and was interested in that position as I'm pretty interested in/fascinated by nuclear weapons.
Richard Vanwinkle lol possibly but how to make one your useless probably
Zane Shute That was the job I picked before I joined. You pick your job based on asvab score
