I especially like the part where you finally realize you're trying to make a precision guided missile, and the acknowledgment that those who know.... Literally cannot help you.
I love you calling the expert: “Dude can you help us with this silly egg thing?” “Um you’re trying to make a guided missile so no” 🤣
It's insane to realize halfway that what they were trying to make so hard, essentially covered the basics for a Kinetic Orbital Strike weapon.
As an aeronautical engineer and a pilot in progress… this is one of my favorites videos on youtube. Best Part Adam: How do you not get busted by FAA?
"Which was surprising because Joe had definitely run through a lot of analysis and testing before coming here. So after conducting a thorough review of the footage and firmware he was able to locate and fix a single rogue negative sign in the code that seemed to be causing all the control issues" - The perfect description of my entire engineering degree
The fact that a 100 years ago going to space seemed almost impossible, and now a bunch of guys with an egg building a rocket and guiding it back down to a particular location without breaking the egg being seen as a 'passion project' is wild.
I think the best part of this whole video is how many times the project failed. That really shows just how much perseverance and dedication Mark has to these things.
Shoutout to the chicken who laid the egg 😂
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.
That section with Adam was hilarious, the way he pointed out that you were making a guided missile made me laugh!! So cool to be able to call someone like that too
My specialty is firearms but I feel for the expert here. How many times has someone come to me with some “great idea” and then I go “that’s at least ten years in prison”
Пока мы лежали на диване, занимались своими делами- в космос полетело яйцо. ЯЙЦО.
Those final two eggs should've been incubated and hatched afterwards so they could be space chickens or space Avians.
You have to respect the fact that 3 years of work went into this experiment. Mark’s dedication to his craft is unmatched!
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 only thing I find MORE relatable than a single misplaced character in code tanking an entire process, is planning numerous redundancies and forgetting to bring a backup egg 😂
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.
Mark is the only guy who accidentally make a guided missle
Love how the information Mark needed to help his “precision guided missle” was literally CLASSIFIED
