Cool launch and burn. Even with bunkers and such, don't know that I'd want to be that close to it at ignition as good as the view is. Wouldn't want it to be my last.
F.A.R. (where they launched) has lots of hardened infrastructure. They have lots of safety rules. They're good people. And video teams have telephoto lenses - everyone was safe.
That's what they can ONLY be, huh? The tape is holding the foam on the fins (which are just fins, by the way) to protect anyone working on the rocket from the extremely sharp edges. You didn't notice that they came off? But you're so observant!
@@RocketVlogs Hey I'm just looking for your top-secret sorcery, as to how you pulled off such a beautiful flight. One must use ALL the tricks to get it THIS good! Congrats. ...no rollerons, hmm. I would like to see some active stabilization systems in action. They're REALLY cool, too!
Why do you assume these guys are rich? And why are you even watching this? Your remark comes off as angry and bitter about some goal you never achieved…

An AIM-9X's stated range of "more than 10 miles" as stated by the US Air Force is less than half the altitude achieved by this sounding rocket, which, by the way, isn't a missile lol. Moreover, the entire point of a Sidewinder is it's ability to NOT fly straight, lol.
hypersonic rockets have been a thing since the start man. just look up the speeds of the early rockets. then things like the v2. jupiter, russian orbital rockets, saturn, soyuz, shuttle, all of it goes hypersonic. always has. the hypersonic race happening today is completely different. the race today is for WITHIN ATMOSPHERE hypersonic flight with completely maneuverable platforms to avoid any defenses etc. this is incredibly hard because in the atmosphere means significant heating on the bodies, maneuvering add those speeds adds extreme stresses and so on. this is what militaries are pursuing. the public hear it and think hypersonic rocket flight is a new thing. i mean like cmon, you know what orbital velocity is right? 17,500mph around. youre wayyyy deep into hypersonic flight at those speeds
@@jamesmaddison4546 To add to your info, another benefit with in-atmo hypersonic missiles is the massive increase to it's Specific Impulse over conventional solid or liquid fueled rockets, since the rocket only needs to carry fuel after the first stage has brought the missile up to speed for the ramjet to take over, the distance the missile can fly is much higher than a conventional ballistic missile since all it's oxygen is coming from the atmosphere instead of onboard tanks, so the fuel tanks can be enlarged to fill the volume oxygen normally would. It would be like the difference between using bottled high pressure air to run a car, no matter how much volume of that car you fill with compressed air, or even cryogenic liquid air (assuming the fuel tank is optimized/stoichiometric to the air supply), it won't run anywhere near as long as it would running from atmospheric air, since the car can be optimized to carry more fuel with the increased volume that the air tanks would have occupied. They're actually quite terrifying if you ask me, a nuclear missile traveling at Mach 10 with at _least_ the maneuverability of a fighter jet makes me go a little pale...
I'm in the midst of building one with a k550 in it... nowhere near as powerful as this gem, but it will be my first. Only thing is, I don't have anywhere to launch from and I live in middle suburbia. Any tips on a clandestine launch approach?

Right that was a wonderful flight too jeez.
@@RocketVlogs was it coning pretty badly at the beginning of its initial thrust?
Welcome to the “rapid unplanned disassembly” club.
It’s a rite of passage.
That almost took off quicker than my dad when he went to get smokes and never came back.
Well dang

Good video! Much better sound and much sharper than live-stream. Nice to see the team doing some prelim work and at the pad stuff. Well done!
Unfortunately the stream quality was the best we could get with the internet services out there. It's a bummer!
Good production. Thanks for not having music that makes me want to claw my eyes out from the back.
Holy crap. an S???? This is the boundary between amateur and commercial rocketry. This is insane.
No it ain't, the limit before needing a launch licence is full T. And it took place at FAR's site in California

Wooooooooow I can't imagine how proud The team were with themselves. And should be.
Sounds like someone is screaming like they're being stabbed in the background.
You don't know anything about aerospace engineers LMAO. They get wild when their shit works. It's hilarious
I just found the Tik tok and glad I did I want to join this ride with y'all and support it.
from 0 to 1000m/s in an instant
Ludicrous Speed
Nice telemetry readout. Was it safely recovered? Did they use any gyro stabilizers?
did it cause sonic boom on way back down? did it survive the fall? parachute?
Great video, great accomplishment! What is the fuel used to launch these rockets?
probably AP and HTPB or some other rubber
@@aadamawad1647 Ok. Thank you.
Go big!!
You should of put a camera on it, so we see a view of the stratosphere push the envelope you might get it to orbit.
Some day I would love to see an S-motor launch in person. Daaaaaamn.
closest ive seen was a Q..
@@razoredgechris I think M for me.
Nice video man, as usual. Thanks
This is my dream ... one day ! :)
What are the components of rocket fuel?
What kind of fuel did this rocket burn?
Better watch out Putin!

It's not a bomb. Sure it could burst, but it could never release all its energy at once.
Is that break in the smoke at exactly 7:43 the sound barrier? That was bookended by two periods of transonic instability?
Is this a Estes rocket? can you buy it at hobby lobby?
Amazing performance!
Is that made or carbon fibre or fibre glass?
why didn't you show the part in the video where it came back ballistic?
Because that part of the video doesn't exist
@@RocketVlogs xD
^^^ Looks at 44 year old D motor Estes V2 sitting on a shelf and weeps …. 🥺

Where did it go? Gone forever.
Wow…. it launched at 7:37
Spy balloons be fucked.
I want to know about the recovery
Was there on footage?
7:46 in 10 seconds, it was already at 20,000 feet. Compare that with Apollos taking over 10 seconds just to clear their 100-meter launch tower😊
The Saturn V weighed 6.2 million pounds and had people onboard, this rocket does not. That's not really a reasonable comparison lol

People! Turn off auto-focus. How hard is that for rocket scientists?
It was off. The rocket started to get out of focus because it was traveling thousands of miles an hour and 50,000 feet in the air.
@@RocketVlogs Oh? Is that why the Moon or fighter jets are so blurry?

Closer to a space launch vehicle than a missile
