"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
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.
I have to say, I was feeling the exact same way. I was losing such motivation, (also an electrical engineer!) And now I remember exactly why I'm doing what I'm doing, and I know that it will be hard but rewarding
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”
@@spicypotatoes301 you can turn a common 22 rifle into a gatling gun with youtube videos, I don't think it's quite legal but I'm not the expert and are super cool.
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.
I myself am in the space industry and I know personally what it’s like to fail, and I loved how you kept going even if you failed and persevered throughout the whole journey. Thanks for being an inspiration to all future engineers and current ones.
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.
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
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.
There are many documentaries uploaded to youtube! The University of Southern California has a rocket program run by students, and a few years ago they uploaded a documentary they made detailing their sounding rocket that was able to reach space via powered thrust.
As an engineer, the most relatable thing I’ve ever heard on this channel is “Our project ending death spiral was caused by a single rogue negative sign”
I really appreciated the way you talked about the failures. Specifically the big one, the interface between the systems... Feeling like a failure defines you is crippling and you showed the healthy way of coping with and framing failure as an opportunity for growth. That's huge. Thanks for the mental health awareness and just real human feelings you bring to your videos.
I love that the majority of the video is about failure. None of that prevents you from moving forward. This video would have been amazing even if the eggs had broken. It’s your great attitude and joy of learning that is so valuable
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.
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 😂
Literally went to college to be an engineer because of your videos. Stuff like this is amazing and so cool that you can get so many people involved in these types of videos.
I cant imagine what it feels like to work on something for months only to recognize a critical error at the very end and have to postpone or even scrap those months of work. So much respect for yalls fortitude and determination for pushing forward regardless of setbacks.
It's oddly uplifting. If they can hold to it for that long merely for the satisfaction of dropping an egg, then it begs the question what else can one accomplish if they put their mind to the task?
I wanted more info on calculating the terminal velocity of the egg. What Coefficient of drag did you use? Where did you get that number? Did you average the diameter of a dozen eggs. I like details like that, but that's just me maybe.
It's sad that channels that supposedly are all about teaching science, still choose to say these balloons go to space, when they know very well, they don't go anywhere near space. These weather balloon projects only go to about 30 km. Space is defined to start at 100 km.
Great video, thank you. It’s especially helpful to see all the failures and pivots. Great video I watched with my boys. Both avid tinkerers and mini-engineers already.

Don't forget this aint cheap and Marks budget comes from a YT channel bringing in a lot of dole per month. So yeah its impressive, but most of us would have to quit at this due to selling the house at some point or not knowing the rocket dude or literal NASA people etc.
It really puts into perspective how many projects mark is working on at one time. Every single month is a fantastic upload from him. He has to have an absolutely crammed schedule.
I love the moment Mark realizes he's basically trying to make a simpler guided missile and instantly back pedals to building a rocket since that is legal and way easier with his knowledge
@@explorent6741 I think it's less illegal, and more a bad idea. A. They can't get any help on it, because that would be illegal.

It isn't technically illegal for them to make it, just something that they'd either have to be sworn to secrecy about- or be completely on their own.
Well, it did go from being identical to all the other pieces of nylon like it to being even more special: highest egg drop. I think that’s why he was able to do it.😂
As a former space operations officer in the US Air Force, I LOVE everything about this video. As a musician I have to ask: what bass guitars does Adam Steltzner have along the wall behind him??!! Seriously, the idea that he could land a spacecraft on Mars and then go play a show that night brings me so much joy!
7:23 Imagine having this level of knowledge in your craft. That you can look at the physical process (the video) and deduce the issue from the abstract representation of that event (coding). All self-taught and executed, what a brilliant individual
Code isn't an abstract representation of the event. The code controls everything- the event is the abstract representation to the execution of code. And I'm pretty sure he just looked through the code and the IDE had a squiggly line under it so he removed - code editors do that to
Why even bother with all the time and expense to do this, since he already proved the egg won't break when it hits a mattress at terminal velocity. Wait, I know why. Because he has 12 million subscribers who want to see these videos. Lol
I may not know anything about physics or space stuff but I just loved this whole for all the dedication you guys put in this project from start to finish,it was so nice to see you guys smile in the end when,even when things didn't went the way you hope,it was successful. Great video,you guys are the best!
Well, this occurred to me already, as soon as I noticed that this experiment was about a precision drop from a high altitude. You may be able to roughly predict such a drop, considering wind speeds at different altitudes, but not to the precision of some mattresses. This premise is simply defying an engineer's intuition at all levels. So, yes, of course the exclamation of the experienced professional engineer was: "what...? You want to hit a small target at high precision from a high altitude, using DIY stuff and a prayer? Ehh...okay...".
I feel like you are probably the only person to ever accidentally almost make a precision guided missile, let alone whilst trying to make an egg survive going to space. Well done, these are always so interesting and funny.
I love how he thinks he's a really cool dad but his kids are embarrassed to be around him. Maybe he should focus on being a better father rather than just building weird science projects.
@DarkCoreX I'm not saying that he isn't talented at building things and making cool RUclips videos that are obviously lucrative. But just putting food on the table isn't the same as being a loving caring father.
“Things never unfold how we think they will” I love how Mark takes science and somehow makes it about life and moving forward to conquer something or learn about your mistakes. This is what makes a great story teller, engineer, and RUclipsr. Thank you for sharing your story.
Crazy how he still *monetized* the illegal content he confessed was illegal. Smaller youtubers wouldn't get away with that, but this guy knows people and has money so I guess it is okay
I don't want to know how you build things. I want to know how you manage dozens of massive scale projects simultaneously. The multitasking is blowing my mind
I think this is one of my favorite videos. It shows the trial and error of engineering and how tedious and precise you have to be with these things. Like even a slight miscalculation can effect the entire thing. But it’s important to keep trying and not give up no matter how difficult it may seem.
I would personally love a Mark Rober video instructing me on how to make a precision-guided thermonuclear intercontinental ballistic missile. But that may just be me.
This is really crazy. Mark, your friends are the coolest and you are the coolest guy in RUclips. It's an admirable feat y'all have done even if it's something you didn't expect to go along your way but the egg survived!
Crazy how he still *monetized* the illegal content he confessed was illegal. Smaller youtubers wouldn't get away with that, but this guy knows people and has money so I guess it is okay
"Dude, there are thousands of people who have done this before and they are sworn by federal law not to say a single f*cking word to you!" I am still laughing, what a great guy, what a great vid, Mark! Kudos to the entire team, you all made something very special here.
I just love how Mark just takes like a normal science project and then he does the most crazy stuff with it. Praying i get that ticket from crunch labs.

@@sabrinakingsley798 and he also never said it was illegal. He said it was “morally questionable” and anyone who had the actual knowledge to help was bound by law not to help.
@@sabrinakingsley798 Did you lol. When they realized what they were trying to make was illegal they stopped and changed plans to an unguided drop. They never actually made a guided missile.
the most impressive part is that he is always juggling these multi-year projects, just look at the domino robot or the homing dart board and yet he still manages to put out 12 of them a year
Who knew I'd feel so many emotions watching an egg-drop video. Amazing work by everyone involved, the dedication to spend three years working on this is so remarkable. Mark, you don't release videos very often (which is fully understandable!) but they are so worth the wait. I feel like a little kid on Christmas morning when I see you've shared a new video, that's the level of excitement I get.

Is there a psychological reason I love scenes of control rooms breaking into cheers and applause? Gets me every time.

7:23 Imagine having this level of knowledge in your craft. That you can look at the physical process (the video) and deduce the issue from the abstract representation of that event (coding). All self-taught and executed, what a brilliant individual
True
Code isn't an abstract representation of the event. The code controls everything- the event is the abstract representation to the execution of code. And I'm pretty sure he just looked through the code and the IDE had a squiggly line under it so he removed - code editors do that to

Great video,you guys are the best!
Thank you for never giving up on your projects and putting an incredible amount of time and effort into everything. This was freaking epic

- 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”😂
Looks pretty flat isn't?
Yeah, help the Ukrainians
Well, this occurred to me already, as soon as I noticed that this experiment was about a precision drop from a high altitude. You may be able to roughly predict such a drop, considering wind speeds at different altitudes, but not to the precision of some mattresses. This premise is simply defying an engineer's intuition at all levels. So, yes, of course the exclamation of the experienced professional engineer was: "what...? You want to hit a small target at high precision from a high altitude, using DIY stuff and a prayer? Ehh...okay...".

I feel like you are probably the only person to ever accidentally almost make a precision guided missile, let alone whilst trying to make an egg survive going to space. Well done, these are always so interesting and funny.

@DarkCoreX I'm not saying that he isn't talented at building things and making cool RUclips videos that are obviously lucrative. But just putting food on the table isn't the same as being a loving caring father.
8:20 why did he laugh like Mario
Lol
“Things never unfold how we think they will”
I love how Mark takes science and somehow makes it about life and moving forward to conquer something or learn about your mistakes. This is what makes a great story teller, engineer, and RUclipsr. Thank you for sharing your story.
The amount of tests would’ve taken forever. Absolutely amazing work
You are strange
Crazy how he still *monetized* the illegal content he confessed was illegal. Smaller youtubers wouldn't get away with that, but this guy knows people and has money so I guess it is okay
Luntik: oh my brother)❤
I was already amazed when an 83mph egg didn't smash against the mattress
I don't want to know how you build things. I want to know how you manage dozens of massive scale projects simultaneously. The multitasking is blowing my mind
I think this is one of my favorite videos. It shows the trial and error of engineering and how tedious and precise you have to be with these things. Like even a slight miscalculation can effect the entire thing. But it’s important to keep trying and not give up no matter how difficult it may seem.
Absolutely fricken brilliant stuff guys❤
I would personally love a Mark Rober video instructing me on how to make a precision-guided thermonuclear intercontinental ballistic missile. But that may just be me.
Toxicasian… Kim Jong Un, is that you?
.... You want mark to make a ICBM?
The fbi would like to know your location
I think he could only do that if he lived on an independent colony.
Using common, household ingredients, yes? LOLOLOLOL
Chicken: what are you doing with my egg
Mark: my goals are beyond your understanding
Chicken: "You're gonna drop it from a really high place and see if it breaks, aren't you?"
Mark: "...no. Shut up."
hahaha :D
This is really crazy. Mark, your friends are the coolest and you are the coolest guy in RUclips. It's an admirable feat y'all have done even if it's something you didn't expect to go along your way but the egg survived!
When we're kids we feel sad when our balloon floats away but engineers are sad when the balloon doesn't float high enough😂
I love how he realizes he's basically making a guided missile
What he's really built is a way to deliver a guided warhead by using a weather balloon. Simply replace the egg with your choice of weaponized warhead.

The fact that he is working on another project that is just amazing and he will be doing it for another 2 years before we see it amazes me.
the most impressive part is that he is always juggling these multi-year projects, just look at the domino robot or the homing dart board and yet he still manages to put out 12 of them a year
@@DoctorBones1 yeah, he literally has 5-6 projects going on at the same time and still manages to put out top quality content
When did he say this?
Isn't the dart technically a guided missle.
i dont know why but I would hatch the egg just to have achicken that went to space.
Who knew I'd feel so many emotions watching an egg-drop video. Amazing work by everyone involved, the dedication to spend three years working on this is so remarkable. Mark, you don't release videos very often (which is fully understandable!) but they are so worth the wait. I feel like a little kid on Christmas morning when I see you've shared a new video, that's the level of excitement I get.
When he said the guidance system on the first prototype failed because of "a single rogue negative sign in the code"..
I felt that.
I'm sure every programmer in the world, myself included, felt that one.
That would have been an awful feeling.
Yep!
I’m not even a programmer, just done coding here and there for fun, and I felt that. I can only imagine the frustration y’all go through. XD
felt it in my soul
