Thanks for showing a few times when it went wrong, or right, if you consider the learning experience. What a great way to Fuel Tims rocket passion and getting some exposure as well. Thanks y'all
Thank you for sharing the footage shown at the end! That was really something special to get to see. The pride in what you've built and the excitement about the technology was really palpable and feels clearly well deserved. Looking forward to seeing more from you in the future!
It's so.... BRIGHT! 47:53 That part actually made me laugh 😂 It was great talking to you Tim, and it's awesome to syou bring your honest reaction to viewers. It's impressive how you intelligently interact with the company despite not knowing the details beforehand. Stay tuned on Ursa; I hope we meet again!
They really are mind-bendingly bright. A 500 foot flame that is as bright as a welding torch is pretty much impossible to witness without getting just completely overwhelmed.
Very grateful for Ursa Major's openness with Tim here. It shows that these guys are really passionate about what they're working on and genuinely happy to encourage everyone's excitement regarding their engines.
Thank you for giving Tim and Co the access. We truly appreciate being able to see all of this 🙏 . Beautiful facility and engines btw. Seems like you have a great group of people
Tim's excitement about the surprise build, Joe's smile interacting with Tim while he watched the tests, and their shared smiles at the end about the explosion footage is all 10/10
I just have to stop the video and sit in awe of this first scene- This company has spent years, quietly working in this engine, and of course they have sales and marketing and press releases, and FINALLY they find a journalist who can see, and understand, and intelligently interact with this design!
Smart is sexy! Rocket Propulsion engineering is the sexiest, IMO! I am in love! 😎 It's so great to see people doing what I hoped to do in the early 80s when I got my degree
@@jacksmith-mu3ee Your stupidity is off the charts "again . Provide evidence Your generic statements show you have 0 evidence to back your claim Using excuses like " Bs" are school level tantrums. Kindly back your claim . FYI: aren't you the alt account of Chris who made the exact same comment ?" You're an embarrassment!
Love these 20-40+ guys taking rocketry to the future. Wish I could be there and work for guys like these! Thank you again for the invaluable job you do.
I didn't know that Tim Dodd videos could get better - they've been pretty good already. This one was really fun. Interesting to get up close and personal with several rocket engines. I love the comment on the hydrogen igniter fuel "you look at it wrong and it lights". Yes, hydrogen really LOVES to burn. 🙂
Tim is the go-to guy for new companies, they've seen his excellent style, the way he nerds out intelligently. They also know they don't have to explain everything from scratch for his audience. Ah, Tim, the way you give these people space to talk in their own way is unparalleled.
Awesome video. Crazy interesting. English is not my native tongue and yet everything is super clear. Definitely goes deeper than most of docs on rocket engineering and still perfectly understandable from start to end. Huge thanks to Ursa Major for opening their doors, and to the channel for such top quality video.
Dude, one of the most fun videos yet, truly left me energized and encouraged to see such incredible innovation happening on American soil with inspired people! Super excited to follow this company and see the future things that will come!
Very cool. Big thanks to Ursa Major for being so open and welcoming! The engine fail videos were neat to see! I wish them great success! Full flow peroxide engine incoming?!
i really cant wait to see where you are in 10 years. from a guy's perspective thats been watching since the spacesuit days you're on such an epic journey. hopefully starship pulls through and you manage to get on dear moon. im daring to say if you document it right (which im sure you will) it'll be one of the top viewed videos of all time on this platform.
ROCKET SCIENCE! Man!!! To hear her describe that Hadley engine……I GOT LOST…..I’m impressed with ANYONE that designs these machines. 😮 GREAT REPORT Tim…glad to have you back. 👏👏👏👏 Love the NAMES of their engines…from SF movies
I don't know whom we should be thanking for this (I think SpaceX and ULA), but companies coming out and showing how and on what they are working on is so freakin amazing.
"you want to push limits, you have to find them first" 48:59 this! Is what Tim does so well; Everyone pushing new areas is a fan, a geek & a nerd about rockets & space; the good, the bad, the Process. So watching Tim show out his space nerd flag & watching hugely impressive Rocket Scientists 😉 respond with their own is Always a great reminder that they're People; some with dream jobs, but still people. When everything comes together, we can still do incredible things
Tim. You and your team are awesome. I'm really grateful that you have chosen to take us along with you on these amazing experiences. It's also incredible that Ursa has allowed everyone to get up close and personal along with you. Keep up the good work
How can you not have a huge grin when watching the Everyday Astronaut? The importance of this channel cannot be overstated. He's helping to make the future exciting.
You can see the pride rolling off of her as she talks about the Ripley motor. Everyone there seemed super stoked to talk about their toys. I'm excited to learn more about these guys as they get bigger. Edit: adding that this video just kept getting better and better. Assembly, 2 hot fires, and explosions!! Wow! So much fun :)
Complimenten for the technical details in your vids … that’s the reason I watch yours, instead of all the ‘general’ vids of others. Keep up the good work 👍🏼🤩
The first 7/8 of the video was the first time seeing this engine. The last 1/8 was the first time seeing this on ANY engine. Thanks so much for sharing!
I like the use of obscure names from sci fi movies for the engine models. Hadley and Ripley have to be from Aliens (Hadley's Hope was the atmosphere processing station and Ripley was Sigourney Weaver's character). Arroway might be a reference to Dr. Arroway, the primary protagonist in Contact.
I thought that those were references. Ripley I recognized but Hadley is a bit more obscure. Kind of like Firefly Aerospace with their Reaver and Miranda engines.
Awesome video, Neet seing all the engines up close and personal like that. The explosions were extreme and thanks Joe that was just so cool. However I think the coolest thing was having the young lady being a major part if not leader of design on a rocket engine. If someone truly can do a job then they should be given every oportunity and this young lady took it and ran with it. I see her future as even greater than she could ever imagine. I would love to see her if she would be willing to promote STEM to girls to get them into it. BTW I am a male and if I had a daughter I would be so proud to see her grow up and do this kind of thing for a living.
Ursa Major, I may just be an armchair engineer but I've learned a lot about engines in the last 5 years. I can see innovation throughout this engine. I was struck by the regen channel design - I'll bet 50 to 1 that other new engines use the traditional channel design and 1,000 to one that if AJ Rocketdyne designed such an engine it'd be channels. That's just one of the many things that excited me.
Thanks Tim for another great video but also a HUGE thanks to Ursa Major for sharing details of their engines and giving Tim the opportunity to help build a rocket engine - VERY cool. Also impressive is that Ursa Major shared their failure footage to show that, to make a good engine, you have to find the weaknesses, improve the design and keep testing until you have reliability. Ursa Major have a team they can be proud of.
I am so dam happy for you that you got to experience all this, you got me into rockets back when demo 2 launched and I've been hooked on everything rockets since, ive learnt so much from your channel and i am so greatful for that. thank you to you and your team for bringing these amazing videos to us, im so stoked you got out there and had the opportunity to get hands on and play with a rocket engine. much love dude!!
I was at the Apollo 11 launch and totally understand Tim's excitement every time an engine lights. We live in an amazing time and our march forward toward colonizing the moon and Mars open so many opportunities for those with science backgrounds. Show these videos to your kids get them interested in science and math, as difficult as it can be in school it's worth it in the end to get these types of jobs! Thanks to Tim and all the folks at Ursa!
Enjoyed your video as usual.... Tim, if you wouldn't mind passing on our gratitude, as viewers, to the owners and employees of Ursa Major for allowing us a peak behind the curtain. I had heard of this company but was not familiar with their engine development...thanks
This is one of the best ones to date Tim. I have been following Ursa Major, on and off for a while but I never knew their tech and engines were this mature.
Tim I'm beyond greatful for your channel and crew. This video shall be viewed multiple times just as all your content. The technicals are so gratifying welcoming. I know how rewarding hands on to ones passion (keep it clean) is joy beyond expression. Just being able to understand is awesome.
Wow, great video! I watched this sitting out on my porch, and there’s a storm coming through town which added the occasional rumble of distant thunder. It really set a great mood to enjoy a tour of such an interesting facility. There was an especially loud thunderclap that hit with the explosion of the second engine failure. In a word, epic. I also really liked the clips throughout, they added a lot! Your SLS reaction always brings a smile to my face.
Wow, what an absolute pleasure to watch this! Thank you soooooo much @Ursa Major for letting Tim bring us closer to these beasts than most would think possible. It's inspiring!
That was a very enjoyable video. I’m shocked how open they were to Tim and crew. I really felt like I understood a great deal. Thank you all for a wonderful experience.
Tim bringing all of us to these cool rocket companies is something to cheer for indeed. I myself only had heard of NASA, Space X before. But now I follow the works of Firefly and Ursa Major. Good stuff!
It is wonderful to see this industry grow. This is the next generation of tech startups. And so much innovation! I am looking at future where space nerds will be replacing/upgrading engines like we do with our cars now. There will be lore and performance comparisons as the tech comes down to us ordinary mortals.
Wow Tim, that was a great video! Big thanks to the team at Ursa Major as well for being so open and expressive about their work. It's not rocket science, but wait, yes it is! Fantastic!
Tim, what a great journey your channel is! You've learnt a LOT and managed to impart that knowledge very well with great videos and because of this you have gained access to the big players and all the start ups! - you deserve your trip around the moon friend! Keep it up and have a great day!
what a cool company. Love how they wanna show what they are doing and even failures. You only learn turning it to 11 and learning, you gonna have to visit them again.
Good to see a new release from you Tim. I am blown away by how complicated these engines seem, so many pipes! These designers are really earning their pay, I am doing my best to follow the break-down - I think I will need to watch this several times to get the basics to sink in. Look forward to more content from you in the future, thanks for enlightening me.
Man! That was super cool, at least I imagine it was! Building a piece of an engine, standing as close as you can to 2 engines roaring... thank you for sharing!
One of your classic, greatly detailed, videos that are teaching me just a little bit about rocket engines. Let's hope your Ripley engine fires successfully so you get invited back...
Like so many below and watching, thank you Ursa Major for being so open with all the awesome nerdy rocket stuff! Loved the reactions and hand's on Tim - that was cool!
You have a insane job. I wasn't cut out to be a rocket engineer but I was fortunate enough to work on something that was my passion and made a permanent difference. It's an awesome experience, an awesome feeling.
How cool is that to be that close to two engines firing off! I can only imagine what you was feeling! Thanks a ton for sharing what these cutting edge people are up to! Gives me hope for our future to see these young people breaking the mold and being successful!
One thing that amazes me is that 30ish years ago, work on a rocket engine was performed by specialized personnel, all about security clearance, sterile clean rooms, behind locked doors. These days, a an enthusiast like Tim can come and help working on it. The availability of it all is a lot more "down to earth", with loads of independent companies working on rocket engine/science, something that was unheard of back in the day. NASA did all their work in isolated clean rooms, when Spacex started up by just setting up tents and working on it right there in the "desert", this was met by a lot of skepticism as it was so different and casual from how it had been done up until then. I also got to say, it's awesome to have followed Tim from the early stage in his YT career as an enthusiast presenter, to be so included that he can work on engines, talk with Elon and come with input which was well received, and even been invited to fly around the moon. Well deserved!
Was a pleasure talking to you! Hope to see you back at Ursa Major soon.
Those are some impressive engines!
who are you?
Thanks for showing a few times when it went wrong, or right, if you consider the learning experience.

At around 41:20, "That is a sexy looking mount there." Thank you very much! That's my design through and through--made my day!

@PanzerBuyer I don't know
