13 years of making videos, this is BY FAR my most involved. 14 pages of narration. Over 600 clips edited. Weeks of long days and nights. 100% effort given. THANKS FOR WATCHING!!!
spaceXcentric Kevin awesome video I have been waiting for this video for ever thank you so much and please keep doing these
Maybe one on landing rockets?
Also amazing animation
put it in the description to see the stamps on the player bar thingie
Wow Kevin wow what is this I see looks like you knocked it out of the park on this one keep em comin keep em comin!!
That was definitely the most interesting and informative video about parachutes I ever watched.
Thank you !
Epic! Great Job! Interesting stuff gonna have to rewatch. Thanks much.
You need to do more documentaries. This one is awesome
concur
Yeah this was a great video!
Haha I just commented the same thing. For real, he's got talent for this
Agreed, this is fantastic!!
Too true
Wow! To be honest, I didn't think I was going to like this one, but I found it compelling right from the start. Thanks for giving me a new understanding of parachutes.
Exactly what I wanted to say. Thanks.
:)
I felt the same, but as soon as it started and Kevin showed that passion, I was riveted to my seat! Wow!
I couldn't word it better!
Great job Kevin! Was a pleasure talking to you! 🚀(It's 2020 and still no parachute emoji?)
It really is a tragedy
Not quite correct. There exists one since 2019: 🪂
@@steffahn that’s less of a parachute and more of a parafoil, I’d say
Edit: Those are still parachutes I guess, just not the ones mainly being talked about
@@chocohouse4147 Yeah, in most fonts it is not the kind of parachute that the video is about. Nonetheless the official name for the emoji seems to be “parachute”.
I hope you guys can safely put a man or women into space or a have them flown on a suborbital flight good luck and Godspeed.
Holy Moly - was that ever well done !! Bravo !!!!
My previous dismissal of parachutes fills me with shame
:)
I honestly never thought parachutes were so complex and I've skydived before, younger and dumber. This is the kind of stuff Discovery channel and the like used to put out before everything was reality/fake TV. Parachutes are pretty damn complex and amazing. This is a quality piece of work and the hours and detail you put into it show. Nice job! Can't wait for Wednesday.
100% effort given shows 110% in the product.... man, this was awesome, awesome, awesome. So very well done and delivered a wealth of interesting information. Thank you!
Absolutely, even small facts like the first skydiver was a woman. Great video!!
Look at that great black and orange skydiving rig!! 😉 Thanks a lot for this collab Kevin! I am honored, great video all and all!
Was awesome working with you!
I remember when you had 900 subs around the time you proposed the LEGO ideas falcon heavy it amazes me how much you grown and how fast love your vids keep it up!
ARGH!!! Why doesn't RUclips make it so that you can push the thumbs up multiple times! I'd give this video 15 thumbs up!
You are all thumbs, man
Only 15?
Mate that intro had me moist. I never thought I’d say that about parachutes
eww
Love it!
I have always found great wisdom in the saying "never jump out of a perfectly good airplane" that must be why use rickety old airplanes for parachute jumping, a form of incentive.
Other than commercial flights I've taken off a couple of thousand time but only landed 5 and they were always somewhat scary. Especially looking rearwards out an open door.
When I was stationed in Korea I ordered a new main canopy from the US. When it arrived the box was stamped on all sides, in big red letters "EMERGENCY ALTITUDE DECELERATOR". Thought this was a strange thing to call a parachute. But later found out that if you are shipping emergency/life saving equipment you got a break on postage. So this is what it was called so as to get this break. Thought is was a bit funny. Just my $0.02
Haha that is a great story. Some person somewhere in a company had a great idea on how to save money apparently. :)
I went from propulsive only to now understanding the awesome complexity of parachutes.
Good work Kevin... cant wait for you to produce the next one :-P
Peter Beck seems like a really chill dude. And RocketLab is a badass company! I love their launches and rockets.
Great dude great company
*engaging everydayastronaut mode*
god your profile
I hate your pfp so much

I am so excited for Wednesday
Who isnt?

I don't like nasa but I do admire spacex so I'm excited too
@ ProGAMER8002 FanVonTJC Boeing, Lockheed and ULA
Same
Awesome documentary!! Glad you mentioned Copenhagen Suborbitals, as they have produced amazing achievements for amateur rocketmen! Looking forward to your next documentary.
Dude, the quality of this video is amazing! Bravo!
Great job and an interesting doc. Thank you. That must have been a time consuming endeavor. Well worth it. I personally would also like to thank lawyer wife. Someone needed to. :D
Haven't even gotten past the intro yet and had to leave a comment. This is going to be great! Thank you for taking an in-depth look at an often underappreciated technology from a fellow freefall fanatic
Nothing beats the feeling you get when looking up at the chute deploying after pulling the cord, followed by the firm pull and the decrease of wind noise. Looking at some of the slow-motion movies of the parachute testing is like watching art. :)
Amen on the parachute department. I'm an old Army paratrooper, so that would be the only department for me to work in. AATW
Outstanding video. I’m sure you just caused a spark that will change a lot of young people’s lives with the enthusiasm and knowledge you showcased here. The desire and ability to figure things out is what is going to get us to Mars and beyond. So many people that have the ability to contribute to our future in space don’t yet even realize what is happening right now but they will. Content creation like this and more broadly your amazing channel is so beneficial to bringing the dream to reality. Great job!!!
I'm so glad you had Mads on here, plus with an actual skydiver for the subtle details like packing inside vs outside gives a fantastic video. I'm even more surprised that these things work so well now
Mads is a skydiver ;)
Great Video man, we all appreciate the effort 🙏
Fabulous documentary Kevin. As a skydiver and paraglider pilot I really appreciated the development manufacturers put into the safety and performance of these systems.
By far, the best application of MS Paint I have ever seen
I love the thrill and anticipation of chutes opening, gracefully, and majestically slow a large massive capsule to a safe gentle landing. To me, watching chutes open and slow the Gemini and Apollo capsules to a safe splashdown after a challenging mission, aggressive violent re-entry - is like saluting the men and women for a Mission well done. Please, please continue this series on the importance, technical needs of large parachutes! Thanks for sharing.
I actually watched a half hour doco on parachutes. Nice :)
Wow! And without any warning you hit us with some of this Tim Dodd quality researched documentary? You got to be careful with stuff like that!
I never thought I would be watching a video on chutes but here I am, and oh how it's wonderful to see you Kevin doing an educational video, great job!
Am I watching NatGeo? Discovery? Bravo Kev, this was amazing.
A great video... informative, entertaining and up-to-date. I know these longer form episodes require huge levels of effort, but the results speak for themselves. Looking forward to the next installment!
Damn, that was amazing! I started watching when you were at about 3k subscribers and I'm so glad your channel blew up, you deserve it. :)
As someone just getting into my own channel, i watched this not just for the content, which was simply stellar (ha) but with the view of how you'd do a long length video, and i have to say, you REALLY nailed it. Perfect storyline, well executed, the planning must have been well thought out! Love the occasional jib in there too, so your style. Amazing video K, can't wait for more!!!
Nice work Kev! I enjoy your usual light hearted updates (and still will), but this was the best work I've seen you do. Top stuff & thanks!
You're really killin it with this channel lately, thank you!
Skydiving is the best thing I've ever done. Gotta love & appreciate the technology behind it.
This is a great video! I’m on the parachute team in my uni’s rocket club, and I didn’t know half this stuff. Thanks Kevin! ❤️🚀
This was awesome Kevin! Great job with this.
Hey i’ve been waiting for this!
Me: wakes up at 5am to play warzone before work
Kevin: uploads a 30 minute video on parachutes. ❤️❤️❤️
Edit: I’m now inspired by parachutes 🪂
Wow man this was a spectacular production man! Congrats and great job!
Just started watching and already loving it. Thank you so much.
This is by far your best video. Wow nice job. Your tone and how you talk to us is perfect. The information is great. I can see now why you like parachutes so much. Great video! I am a space geek and have been following you and other channels through the whole SpaceX Startship testing. Watching live feeds for hours. I never knew all of this about parachutes, and I have been sky diving before.. Nice work! Thank you
You hyped this video up a lot...and frankly after seeing it, I don't think you hyped it up nearly enough. Beautiful work Kevin, such a delight to watch!
Wow, Kevin, well done for this! This must have taken an incredible amount of work to put this together so well and professionally, and it certainly shows! This is the way learning should be.
Bro, this is a next level production value. Amazing work and super insightful!
Your best video yet. I love the regular updates, but a deep dive on a specific subject like this (especially one not as well appreciated or understood as it perhaps should be) is very welcome. Thanks!!
Awesome job on chute documentary!! I love the patriotic background track and tight script. You just set a new high bar for the channel
Maestro!!! This was SUPERB!!! Gorgeous build, music and Intro sounds!!!
Awesome! Great video and epic music while wrapping up the ending... like a well deployed parachute! One of those airborne soldiers here, though now a veteran! I love parachutes!
Having been a smokejumper and now a youtuber, I respect both the parachute and the hard work you put into this video. Great stuff like this is hard to do. Thanks pal.
wow thats some quality content there! Thanks for posting man!
Mad respect on the long format doc formats. Really interesting stuff! Nothing sounded like a regurgitation of some other topic related to the subject. Original and informational! More please!
Amazing Video!! Two years later, this video is THE definitive presentation of parachute technology, no other video comes close on RUclips.
Oh my... Kevin is an "everyday astronaut" from a parallel universe :P
From a parachute universe! 😉
Really great job with this!!
I got that vibe as well :).
That was a great presentation and lesson on parachutes. Thanks for the hard work and posting this.
Very well done Kevin! Been with you since the start. You are really putting out excellent content lately. Keep it up and thank you!
Well researched and excellent presentation! You knocked it out of the park with the edit!!!!
This is a very well put together video Kevin, thank you!
What a great video, Kevin! beautifully presented and thoroughly researched, congratulations!
Awesome doc! I knew there was a lot to it, but never really thought too much more on it. Thank you for teaching me knew things!
Great job on the video! Loving this style of videos, hope to see more like this soon 👍
Your show just gets better and more interesting all the time. Thanks.
Amazing work Kevin! Thank you for this great informative video about parachutes. We'd really like to see more Xcentric Documentaries on this channel.
Great job. Your vocal tone and delivery was perfect and so was the pacing. You're a natural documentary maker.
Great documentary! You do a really great job explaining the intricacies of the science of chutes. You’re presentation style is also excellent!
This is a start to end jam packed awsome footage and information video. This team that put so much time and effort into compiling this amazing video needs to be commended. And for all those that generously offered their assistance too.
Kevin ... You seriously are a professional in your ability to faultlessly articulate this presentation world of parachutes .
Thank you *everyone* .
Wow! Kevin! This was an awesome documentary! Thanks so much. Loved your passion and the music you chose. It was very logically presented and you really helped me understand just how amazing are parachute! You really should do more of these documentaries. Thanks so much, man! Keep up the amazing work! Godspeed!
Great job, Kevin! I thoroughly enjoyed your documentary.
Your best video yet. Thank you for the history and your passion for the subject.
Watched it on Patreon and again on here, can see you put your all into it and it was worth it, quality content mate. 🤙🏻
Your passion for this matter is admirable and moving. Great video, cheers.
I made a comment on the previous video, wondering where Kev Kev had been lately. This explains it all. The amount of work filming, interviewing, travel etc and editing has achieved this 'Award Winning' story on Rocket Parachutes. ***** that's 5 stars from New Zealand. A big congratulations Kev Kev.
Exceedingly well done my friend. Loved every minute
Had to watch this one twice to get full the full effect, great job Kevin! Loved the history lesson. You’ve set the bar now...
Hey, I have been i long time fan, love these type of videos hope you do some more of these. Much love and keep it up!
This documentary was the best spaceXcentric video I have seen. Congratulations! You should do more documentary videos like this one. It was really educational! THANK YOU!
Great video! As a child of Apollo, I was fascinated with all things space travel, but I was especially fascinated with parachutes. Every trip to the library yielded a haul of whatever books mentioned parachutes - spacecraft, smoke jumpers, paratroopers, skydivers, whatever. When my mother mentioned that she had an uncle who had been a paratrooper, I couldn’t wait to talk to him and get all my questions answered. He was very patient with me. :D This video really cleared up a lot of remaining questions for me!
Honestly one of the best space (mostly) documentaries I have seen. Please do more. Love the channel!!
Good job on content and presentation. Keep doing stuff like this that you really like, and the viewers will accumulate over time.
Wow, you did an amazing job on this video. I learned so much and have a greater appreciation for the research and testing of "against - fall" devices. Thank you for putting the time, resources and energy into this presentation.
Very good! Loved the video, even if I knew most of it, the presentation was so good that I just had to watch all of it. I specially loved how you made the video fun. A video like this can real easy be super dry but you kept the pace up and even included some funny moments. That along with the beautiful clips made this all very good.
I know you hyped the hell out of this video........AND it was VERY MUCH worth it! Great job bud! Loyal subscriber here.
A great video - your best so far! It must have taken a long time to make.
Learned a lot, been looking forward to watching and you totally delivered :)
Nice work mate, thorough, engaging and just the right depth and breadth, impressive, two thumbs up 👍🏻👍🏻
Very nice documentary and amazing soundtrack! Well done!
Fantastic documentary! Learned so much! Thanks!
This was a very well made video. I was surprised at the amount of useful information it contained. Well done, spaceXcentric.
Happy Memorial Day Kevin! Great informative video bro! You put a lot of time into this one! Amazing! Perfect time for DM 2 this Wednesday SpaceX Falcon 9 Crew Dragon launch!! (Fingers crossed)
Well researched, well edited, well presented. Thanks Kevin!
Absolutely brilliant Kev, well done.
Dude. This is a super good documentary style video. I love a long video like this. Please make more of these.
You did a fantastic job on that video !!
Totally opened my eyes on how modern and complex chute design can be
Really great mini-documentary. You did a fantastic job on this bro. 👍🏼
your best video with original content you have produced to date RESPECT
