Thanks to Simplisafe for sponsoring this video. I hope your holiday season is filled with rockets... or at the very least, I hope it is filled with things and people you love.
this was a very interesting idea…
Question: simplisafe is trusted by more than 300 million people in America? Either you’re including all of north a South America in that stat, or your talking about like 90% of the USA.
That’s a decent claim
okay you two need to hook up you guys make the perfect couple we all know you got a crush on her.. 😍😊
@@thats_my_comment wtf
You guys are awesome 👌 have a merry Christmas
Rules of Rocket Science
1: Given enough thrust, anything will fly.
2: If you want it to fly straight, the back end has to want to go slower than the front.
3: Down is easy. "Where" and "How Fast" requires some aforethought.
4: Everything else is minutia.
thanks for the advice
Да
HUMANITY should know that before they blow another rocket and kill people in the process.
#2 is one of the best explanations for why the center of pressure has to be far back that I have seen so far
😂
Supersonic Christmas Rocketree for Yeetmas 2k22???
Thanks for being the best collaborator ever, and for constantly setting the bar REALLY high in all your work except fillets :)
The Christmas Spirit is really about sending a tree past Mach 1 🚀🎄
This was so cool seeing it from MTA
@@DiegoGomez-pk5tg Congrats on completing a massive campaign there btw!!
DO IT.
This video was 100% awesome!
That thing flew straighter than most of your rockets hahaha
It's a Christmas miracle.
This hits to close to home. Haha!
At least the booster separation failed, so it gets knocked off a couple of points from a 120% performance.
Apparently floofy branches are the perfect alternative to vectored thrust. Who knew? 😂
Nature at it's finest 🎄🚀🤘
I never knew I needed a rocket powered Christmas tree in my life but now I am so happy I got to witness this masterpiece.
The best take yet. Also, however much I was interested personally, I can't resist the happiness and delight of those people losing their goddam minds. Also: free floating slomo candy canes. @15:56
Same. Also never knew I needed a Christmas tree rocket wallpaper until now!
@@Ubajoo_ thank you for the idea :)
"You are now certified to fly L2 motors, please be responsible with them-"
I don't think that flight would get you a level 2. Ejected on the ground after crashing. Fail.
@@davidbauer1485 the joke is that he already got his certification, and this is him being responsible with them.
@@Digitalman271 It is a good joke! I LOL 😆! Never a certification to be given on an abomination of an oddroc! You would think with all the expertise they could have had an electronically controlled ejection/deployment at apogee. Good thing they have a Bunker for amateur rocketry! Run, duck and cover, especially on that first stage would have received a stink eye and rejection anywhere else.
I guess they figured showing the crash would be "Good TV." That is an old fart term, maybe "Good RUclips content." It was an awesome crash DUDE! Dude, can I do that?
At least it is Slightly better than the old cable shows with flying snowmobiles, outhouses, garden pigs and pedal cars!
ejection charges have an incredible sense of comedic timing lmao
It was perfect
Like a smaller, friendlier Mercury Redstone 1.
They really do, I seem to remember a ejection charge going off on the pad last year
There were SO MANY things wrong with this project conceptually, aesthetically, practically, and possibly, religiously...and I loved every one of them! Pure joy!
“I have the world’s first flight-proven Christmas tree”
Not something you hear all that often.
I’ll take WTF for 1000 Alex. 🤣🤣🤣
That’s why it’s the first
Hi joe.
I just wanted to let you know, today was one of the lowest days of my life. It’s 2am, I’ve been sat in bed crying for the last hour, when I get the notification for this video. I’ve now spent the last 22 minutes cry laughing instead. Sometimes you inspire me to do things, sometimes you just interest me or make me laugh, and today was one of those days where I really needed a giggle. You and Xyla, and Cameron and Jenna and all the other HNS people never fail to cheer me up, and I just wanted to thank you. I know you probably won’t read it I just wanted to let you know:)
Yo dude, im not joe but I wanted to say I appreciate you and understand how you’re feeling. I’ve been in the same place before as have many others, and you’re not alone in feeling the way you do. You’re doing great and will get through this, and I hope you know that there are people out there rooting for you. Much love -cam
Ms. Claus: "So tell me again how Rudolph got killed."
Santa: "I was flying over a desert and a f...ing Xmas tree missile was fired at us."
Ms. Claus: "Have you been making egg nog with Everclear again?"
I laughed way too hard at this.
The Christmassile
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This!
Santa should've popped some Tinsel and Yule Log countermeasures
Just want to point out how you work so hard on your 3D printed, massively over engineered, steerable rockets.... only to slap a rocket motor to a tree and the freaking tree flies straight XD
peak comedy
The slo-mo of the candy canes weightless made me snort ☕ out my nose. Totally worth it. 👍🎄 🚀
Funniest scene in the whole video
"Nominal orbit insertion"
definitely the #1 shot of the video for me
#2 is the drone shot with the lighting and the tree coming out of the dust cloud
#3 is the frontal shot the launch starts with
This is just gold, the chaos and unhinged levels are just what this year needed
I think this is one of your most impressive launches to date, and that’s saying something! Epic in so many ways!
I can't imagine have a whole group of amazing people and call them your friends. Most be awesome.
Yeah, joking aside, it seems like this really is the best way to celebrate Christmas.
Same… same
yeah. What even are friends
I watched the shot at 15:12 probably a dozen times with the biggest smile on my face. The yellow glow of ignition against a desert covered in dusk, the slow motion, the music; that was the best 3 or 4 seconds of rocket footage I've seen since two dragons landed side by side.
Well done fellow Joe.
16:40
a nice starship style belly flop, gave me starship vibes;
never seen anything so fricking amazing, congratulations to Joe, Xyla, and the entire team at BPS
The slight tail-down attitude means that the only thing that made the tree fly straight was the acceleration bending the branches back. Coming back down the center of drag was absolutely in front of the center of mass.
Little Joey: *doesn’t get present for Christmas*
Big Joey: *Imma take Santa down using a ballistic Christmas tree - missile*
Webb has quite the act to follow. Lol excellent work to the entire team of rocket elves
Well done, Joe! I think this is the happiest I have ever seen you. Life is good. Merry Christmas!
"oh, it's only 1 volt off, what could possibly go wrong"
Everything, Joe.
Everything can go wrong.
Joe has a habit of overvolting AVA
Well done Icarus Thiccarus, Xyla, and everyone who had a part in this season's yeetings. This was even more beautiful than seeing it live. That drone shot at 15:10 is worth a million bucks.
Make a NFT with this drone shot 😍
Damm that was beautiful. Honestly I think that the 3 igniters failing was a good thing, the lighting at the time of launch was amazing.
Surprisingly, it Looks more stable than all the flight computer rockets so far on this channel.
Mass.
its aerodynamicly stable
Cause them highway sized fins
This is why you don't let engineers get bored... Definitely not time to get our robotic arms serving cocktails again...
Keep it up Joe, it's been amazing to watch you push further and crazier this year, can't wait to see what you do next year, Merry Christmas!
I'm old enough to remember when BPS space had great cinematography instead of perfect cinematography.
This is honestly so cool man. Hopefully one day I’ll have the ability to do something like this with such an amazing group of people
Love your channel, love the tech you always add, but, for THIS episode the Drone Operator gets the award - such FANTASTIC shots!
The vibes this video gives off need to continue.
All through the flight footage I thought "Wast that thing supposed to separate?"
That 3-second clip of the tree on the ground popping apart brought tears to my eyes.
Please! This needs to happen again, every year!!! This was absolutely fabulous!!! I sincerely request that we make this a tradition! This was as wonderful as punkin chunkin!!! Happy Holidays to everyone that made this video possible and to everyone that comes to watch these videos!!!
I like how well Xyla and Joey B work together
This video made me laugh and cry. I should not be this invested in a rocket tree. What a beautiful project.
The footage on that flying tree is just next level!! Thanks to the whole team for inspiring the world how to properly celebrate .... everything!
I don't know why, but the candy canes floating at apogee just fills me with joy
When Bob Ross talked about "happy little trees", this is what he actually had in mind.
Should Joe be working on Scout? Probably.
Was this still really cool? Hell yeah.
I literally just talked about how many rockets it would take to lift a Christmas tree and now I get this in my recommended
The light of the rocket motor spilling out as it ignites looked down right cinematic! Those big motors just look incredible
That was dead set fantastic. You all looked like you were having a blast and that it flew so true, under such lovely light conditions. Well done, team! Gotta be a record of some sort, surely?!?
I like, that you went the extra mile and reinforced the fins with carbon fiber.
Hope this becomes a tradition, Merry Yeetmas!
You guys had to have filmed this in early December since it got cold in the western Mojave these past few weeks! I've been doing geophysics work in the Mojave (near Cali City) since October and would have love to have seen this, looks like you all had a great time making this happen. Cheers and Merry Yeetmas indeed!
Watching a christmas tree launch into the sky to the tune of "Ave Maria" is strangely inspirational.
The biggest ups to the dude wearing the Porter Robinson tee shirt doing flight sims!
Cool video Joeb, but it does not change the fact that you haven’t carbonated egg nog yet
Wasn’t that sound suppression?
This was an amazing project. But I wanted to take the time to thank you for supporting a great cause. My older brother took his own life 7 years ago this month. Getting people help when there at their lowest is really important and means a lot to the families who have been effected.
Ohhhhh my god that camera shot at 15:10 made my entire year how is it sooo good, like, you see the rocket motor light up such a huge area and slowly lift off why is it so satisfying aaaaa
What. A. Madlad.
Edit: 16:22 69mph noice
Maybe Christmas (*he thought) doesn't come from a store, perhaps a L2 rocket motor is worth much more!
I can say with certainty that watching this video is all it would take for the biggest of Grinches to have their heart grow three sizes.
Best footage was the candy canes flying off the tree.
Okay the slowmo right before apogee where you can see candy canes slowly floating away is amazing.
Bruh... how is this not viral yet. So underrated
So I'm assuming this started by someone making a rocket tree rocketry joke and it spiraled out of control from there? haha
Recently subscribed and this is without a doubt the best video I’ve seen from you. I FELT y’all’s excitement on launch and recovery. Nice. Work everyone.
The build was impressive. All three igniter failures added drama. The launch video compilation was prefect. Well done to the team of elves
Congratulations, it flew better than any other rocket you built!
I saw this in person from MTA :D
FANTABULOUS!!! The candy canes flying off, ngl, had me cracking up. Probably the closest thing to being in the spirit of Christmas I've felt in a really long time. The excitement and enthusiasm y'all had for this was amazeballs! MERRY YEETMAS, Y'ALL!!
more collab/team projects like this please, what a fun video. great chemistry between you all
So many missed opportunities to use the phrase “Amateur rockeTREE.”
You went out on a limb posting this pun
Epic merry Christmas.
Thant you I hope everyone gives this a thumbs up.
You just outdid @demolitionranch for Christmas specials.
Those candy canes in free fall just got me in the heart strings
Those shoots at 15:00, that's Christmas spirit for me!
Okay, this is the greatest rocket launch ever. Do you think there's enough time to convince the ESA to put Lil Gloopy on top of the JWST?
Well, he is German, and ESA gets most of their funding from Germany.....
Great video, keep it up❤️
The candy canes slow motion shot was worthy of an Academy Award. I'll make a few phone calls.....
Amazing production quality. Really, the newer videos are great, but there was clearly a passion for beautiful filmmaking here
best one yet..nice to see a bit of chemistry with the host and his assistant.
Will you attempt propulsive landing with this vehicle?
I'm so glad that the geek world on planet earth hasn't lost it's mind along with the rest of us. Lighting a candle on the tree has new meaning now.
"Seasons yeetings" Amazing.
amateur rocketry more like amateur rocket tree
You and Xyla are a cute couple.
When the tree hits apogee and the candy canes go 'weightless' - epic!
That slomo shot of the candy canes flying off the tree at apogee was somethin else
An idea for the next one next year... place the fins on a very little angle so the tree will start to spin for a nice light show.
I must applaud you guys for achieving such a NICE max speed
That is probably the best video in 2021! The vibe is absolutely awesome!
Thank you Joe for the joy you, Xyla and all the others donated to everyone via this beautiful video. And thanks for being sensible on such an important theme. Merry Christmas Joe!
The candy canes floating peacefully near the tree as it reaches apogee at 15:57 is so beautiful
Visual confirmation of candy cane deployment confirmed!!
Strong work!
That aerial slo mo shot at the start was stunning
This is like PEAK friendship and I am all for it
This has to be one of the finest vlogs styled vids. Please do more of these. We love this :)
This video definitely deserves a couple million views
The one Christmas tree that has every right to catch on fire, doesn't even get warm
When your flight computer lets out the magic smoke, you know you need to sort something else out. Also, I love the fact that you have a flight computer that doubles as RGB LED driver!
I bet the neighbors love it when you run that planar.
Saw the thumbnail and thought " Well, it looks like BPS has their Chrisrmas card photo." Merry Christmas everyone!
Best Christmas Tree launch ever!
Happy Holidays to BPS and all the elves that made this an epic GO.
BPS finally understands RUclips...best video yet.
I can not explain how glad I am I clicked this video! 10/10 Production quality my guy.
I can't believe the tree flew that well. Like that looked great! And it all stayed lit the whole way up and down, and the ejection charge shortly after landing was a nice little coda... 😁
The Christmas tree has experienced something that no other Christmas tree will experience
i hate christmas so to see one of those things launched into the air has really put me in the spirit, thanks guys!
Merry christmas my man ! I love seeing you happy !
Only one legend would be able to make this happen, it's youuuuuuuuuu, youuuuuuu baby. 🎄
That was epic! Tree emulating a shockwave at Max Q around 15:28. Merry Christmas to you, Xyla, the team, and all who watched this!
This was THE BEST xmas celebration ever! Awesome! TY
That slow-motion rocket cam with the candy canes slowly departing the vehicle! Festive AND Majestic! Well done!
