I also wanted to say thank you to everyone who considers supporting at www.patreon.com/smartereveryday . I'm grateful!
One of your best videos ever!
Tory is great, so patient and has a down to earth (no pun intended) way of explaining things. If he needs a son I'm ready to be adopted (i'm 56 lol).
Great video I’ll be sure to show to my younger brother and cousin who are into engineering and science stuff!
another step back to the old days. SPACE X is doing things sooooo much better than this or nasa ever has
Whatever happened to your other channel, the one about hearing with headphones just as in real life.
He tells us Tory is a nerd's nerd, and he certainly proves that time and time again. But one thing that stood out to me is when he looked over to Destin's dad and asked "You worked James Webb, right?"
I second this
I know right it sounds like what I would first say if I met destins dad
When he went "outstanding" I teared up lol
its all i needed to know about his character!
He looked cool before but looks way cooler with the mustache. What a king.
Hey Destin!! Fantastic video as always. I’m one of Blue Origin’s propulsion test engineers responsible for testing BE4 in that horizontal configuration you and Tory were talking about. I’ve been watching SmarterEveryDay since way back in highschool and I’d say your videos have been a huge inspiration and have had a direct contribution to me being where I am now. I really appreciate you putting in footage of XEEx-BE4’s horizontal stand in Texas-as it made the highschool part of me freak out seeing our test stand in a SED video!
All that aside, I’ve been noticing your focus on a lot of aerospace and space videos recently. Would love to chat sometime and maybe explore the possibility of getting you down here to see a BE4 test! 😎
THIS COMMENT NEEDS A BOOSTER ENGINE!!!!
DESTIN! Get in here!
Much up voting to get this to happen!
This comment better not get lost in the depths of this section.
@dustin
Hey, that’s my booster! Im the team supervisor for the mix facilities that make all the solid rocket propellant for the gem 63! I get to mix it and watch it be casted! There’s a lot of love in that motor and to have it showcased on your channel in such an awe inspiring way is deeply fulfilling! THANK YOU DESTIN!!!!
this is super cool. congrats, and proud of you.
Get me a job there lol, please
that’s super cool. mixing batches of solid propellant on a hobbyist scale is fun enough i can’t imagine 100s of tonnes of it!
Hi, congrats, little question. Guess I haven't really figured out why they canted the 63s. If all the solid rocket boosters are pointing parallell to the rocket, there won't be any roll, pitch or yaw moment created. Why do you need the thrust vector to pass through CG ?
@@juangadea4474it's so that there is no torque or moment applied to the vehicle if one booster burns out before the other
35:05 "It meant even more because I was watching it with my dad." Legitimately got emotional at this
you beat me to that. 100% same.
Yeah. I am currently the full-time caregiver and losing my father to dementia. Not the least bit ashamed to admit to crying at such a simple yet powerful statement.
That moment Tory wants the photo with Destin's dad "You worked on James Webb, right?" The CEO of ULA goes full fanboi and it's adorable and amazing and wonderful.
It was amazing to see this
I cried for a good minute when this happened 😭
Some Cambridge University researchers are 50/50 on finding alien life on a distant exoplanet planet with the James Webb. If it’s confirmed, the people that built it would truly be special.
And the comment about Destin's love of laminar flow. He's definitely a fan of the channel.
Very human moment, two geeky engineers sharing respect for all the work the other has done. Tory would be a great guy to have a beer with.
The moment that Tory was taking a picture with Destins dad and turned to him and asked, "You worked on James Webb, right?" and he humbly replied with a simple "Yeah." and Tory just said, "Outstanding." was so hardcore. Seeing two titans like that paying mutual respect with such a simple exchange was _so_ cool.
its understandable that Tory asked because the James Webb project has become a legend and anybody that worked on it is treated with the kind of respect that the early lunar missions members got, it appears...
I loved this moment as well. Not just for the fact it happened, but for the fact that Tory remembered. He’s got a bazillion things going through his brain yet somehow was able to remember that fact is outstanding. Also the recall about the past videos is incredible. Even if he rewatched them recently to remind himself of that exchange means he clearly respects Destin enough to do those little thjngns
Truly a moving moment in the vid for sure...
27:19 I loved the callback with the "I forgot your fascination with laminar and turbulent flow." Destin is famous even among rocket scientists!
It's really cool to hear a CEO who understands all the technology and is excited about making life easier for the maintenance crew.
Tory's just as much of an engineer as the best, smartest engineers at ULA. It's why he's been able to keep his position as CEO at ULA for so long.
If you haven't seen it yet, Destin's tour of the ULA facility in an amazing video. Tory knows the ins and outs of every step of the engineering and manufacturing process. He's an engineer at heart, a CEO by name alone really. The dream is to work for someone like Tory one day.
For sure. The best bosses are the ones that know about the whole process of the business
27:15 I love Tory and that he remembered your fascination with laminar flow
I just spent 15 seconds trying to remove a hair on my screen before figuring out it was your avatar.
10/10 would get trolled again. rofl
@@ZaphodHarkonnenthat's an old trick lol. Thankfully dark mode usually makes it obvious to defeat!
And yeah to the original comment, it's nice to get remembered!
Either that, or he talked with Destin before the interview and half of what Destin said was entirely about laminar flow.
"We're gonna go 'till somebody stops us", that my friends is a true rocket nerd, a man of the aerospace community
That's more a sign of a leader. He trusts his employees, and knows they have the authority to say no.
For just a second there I wasn't sure if he was going to say, "Get this man off the property!" or "Do you want a job?" Great video!
8:01 "You worked James Webb, right? Outstanding." What a moment! I know your dad doesn't do what he does for the notoriety. But to have someone (and an authority in that field, no less) see and acknowledge his contribution must have felt pretty special.
I first found SmarterEveryDay when I was a junior in high school getting ready to apply to engineering school. The summer between my sophomore and junior year of college was when Destin made the video on SLC-37 for the Delta IV Heavy launching PSP. And now I’m a launch engineer with ULA at the Cape, and I’ve gotten to work this launch, half a dozen Atlases, as well as the last 3 Deltas. What a dream come true my career has been so far, and I wouldn’t be here at all without videos like these. Thank you Destin!
Incredible! and keep doing that good work! ^^
What engineering degree u have I’m going for aerospace engineering but Ik it’s one of the hardest engineering degrees
@@floridagrown9327 I majored in aerospace. I wouldn’t ever say any one type of engineering is harder or easier than another, they’re all very difficult and require a ton of work and motivation. It’s best to make your decision based on what you’re good at and what you’re interested in.
At the end of the day, you don’t need an aerospace engineering degree to work in the aerospace industry. My job title at ULA is mechanical engineer and I don’t use anything I learned in school that was specific to my aerospace degree in my day to day work.
When I was in highschool my engineering teacher was gonna be a aerospace engineer but she said her school schedule for aerospace engineering was busy n she couldn’t do it n said it’s very hard so I was going off what I was told I’ll have a aerospace degree one day I got the drive n motivation
@@amandakaeni1903 I'm super interested in aerospace engineering, any tips on how to get to studying it in college? Maybe even some things I could watch or read that could teach me some important stuff.
Only 36 minutes long? I could listen to you and Tory talk for hours. Tory is genuinely an amazing part of the space community.
We need an extended version of this video just like the Apollo engineer one
Imagine there's a 2nd channel version coming soon.
@@bigskybobI hope so. There wasn't when I checked a few minutes ago.
Tory is amazing, wow, he has such a childlike nature but a breadth of knowledge that is incomparable. It's so infectious and interesting to watch.
I wonder what his opinion of Musk is?
I was super impressed with Tory in the last video, and that just continues to increase. Take an immense knowledge base, wide-ranging expertise, the ability to talk about it at ANY level, and add incredibly engaging and infectious child-like wonder and enthusiasm, and you have a man who is as awe-inspiring as his field. Tory and ULA make me wish I were a young aerospace engineer.
Hey! I'm one of those GNC engineers! 😉
The cool thing about working on the control software is, as part of you job, you interact with nearly all other design teams and get to learn a little about every aspect of how the rocket works. Software is also a convenient place to fix design problems, since code doesn't have any mass.
What is the starting point for developing a rocket software? Surely it must be done from scratch?
Destin, one thing that not a lot of people talk about with your videos is the thoughtful editing. As a viewer, I feel so considered by every tiny detail, from the cuts to the angles to the music to the text on screen. It's a beautifully curated experience that makes me feel appreciated, and I appreciate that a lot.
I have a buddy named George that helps me. He’s a great story teller and we like to think that we make better videos together than we do separately.
@@smartereveryday you're both an unique presence on RUclips. Hope to be smarter every day for many years to come!
I absolutely love the mutual respect and love for engineering.
"Is that inconel?", I'm probably not supposed to tell you... (with a subtle maybe in the voice) "Well i'm an aerospace engineer, and that looks like Inconel" and Tory just laughs knowing he's right but can't actually state it officially.
The entire video just makes me think Tory is one of the coolest guys the hang around with and clearly has so much passion for what he does. I'm pretty sure you could pick his brain all day on rocketry and he'll happily go through every bit.
25:00 "Its obviously workimg fine in this application"
@@ayrendraganas8686 That's in discussion about the weight of the engine. which is a hint towards the heavier Inconel.
I love that he seems to be willing to bend the rules a little bit in the interest of sharing knowledge. Just his attitude about approaching the launch platform until someone said they couldn't go further. He may not actually know what that threshold is that his people are enforcing, but it still seems like he doesn't really care.
Can not confirm or deny... but didn't say no and didn't correct like with other questions.
Maybe Destin was a plant and he's telling us it's inconel so we don't know the secret of what it really is.
We're very close to being the same age, and I lost my dad to some stupid accident 1.5y ago at the tender age of 71. We had planned to do soooo much more together, but it all was cut short. I'm so glad that people as kind and genuine as you and your dad can make such incredible memories and tell each other so many things worth telling and be shared man. For all the truly amazing things you guys go through, I really mostly envy you for being able to just do cool stuff together and share it.
Please have TONS more of these moments! You guys are so sweet.
I’m sorry
omg nothing is more fun than watching destin nerd out about aerospace with a fellow engineer. big props to Tory for giving this tour and taking the time to talk to destin
The way Destin gently got Tory to engage in discussion about the Inconel Engine Bells is a great display of how intelligent and a great interviewer Destin is
Though he really needs to get to BE and pester them about the specifics. It’s their tech. Tory played the fine line well.
@@wxdave5448 absolutely, Couldn't agree more. Was fantastic to see Tory play along as much as he possibly could. Real standup individual in the rocket industry
@@shrimpylad6100 You couldn't agree _less?_ 😋
@@Naptosis I fixed it!!!
Yes thanks for mentioning how great of an interviewer Destin is! I haven't seen many people comment about it and I notice that what separates many science channels apart is how good they are at interviewing others. If you compare with Veritasium (no shade to Derek), it's absolutely night and day with how Destin approaches, questions, and probes with certain specific questions that shows he's paying genuine attention. Sorry you probably didn't expect this kind of reply but I had to point out Destin's people skills, they're amazing.
We're talking about a guy who is worth millions, and has a schedule that's probably timed to the minute. Yet he seems to have time to enjoy smarter everyday videos.. haha I genuinely like this guy. I had a few brushes with CEOs of big companies, and they more often than not sounded very corporate and detached. For a guy launching rockets, he sounds so grounded (pun intended)
It's often related to their background. Many CEOs come from the business side of things and have no real attachment to the doing of the business. Tory Bruno came from first being an engineer.
Wish every company let the engineers run things and kept the business folks in the finance dept.
@@seigeengine My thoughts exactly as I read the comment. "Well, he's an engineer." Imagine the internal struggle in his brain between the engineer who wants everyone else to know why this toy is so cool and the CEO who doesn't want anyone else to know 😂
@@seigeengine I see this phenomenon of those accountant and lawyer corporate types being CEOs as an extension of the "financialization" of the modern economy. I don't think it was always like this - in the "old days" (I offer no concrete time frame) the CEO or equivalent would more typically be the founder, and they would be nuts and bolts people - engineers or scientists in STEM businesses, artists in entertainment businesses (the few that there were lol), doctors running hospitals, etc. While finance is a valuable service and deserves to exist as a field, I think we've lost something in its gradual cooption of everything else. We've lost "balance" in the economy when finance (which should legitimately be a means to an end) becomes and end in itself.
I am always impressed at Tory's openness, and willingness to answer questions and share knowledge. The previous video of the manufacturing process was so interesting as well. Very much looking forward to the next!
Its so refreshing to hear a actual engineer talk while being a CEO about a product, where he is genuinely excited.
I particularly found the way they point the solid boosters' thrust towards the CG. I had never thought about it, but it makes a ton of sense. I also wanted to say thank you to everyone who considers supporting at www.patreon.com/smartereveryday . I'm grateful!
Thanks for making amazing videos!!
why do they point inwards tho? The result is a vector through the centreline of the rocket anyway? Maybe this is better in case one of them breaks and falls away? Or this allows for launching with 1 booster only?
- Destin - I was very interested in the fuel use for cooling of the rockets and drew a correlation to the same use of fuel cooling in the SR-71. It saves a lot of extra weight using a required element in multiple limited capacities, vice having a second weighty, cooling system that the rockets would have to lift to overcome liftoff inertia. A truly interesting and elegant [loved your multiple use of the term] solution for an identified situation.
If they're in opposing pairs you shouldn't need that unless you're expecting different thrust from each or asymetric cut outs.
Single booster setups you really need it.
@@mstrdiverIt is really cool isn't it? Hehe. Most manufacturers use fuel for cooling in their engine nozzles (or driving turbo pumps) and other parts of the rocket. Just like you said, it makes sense to design out systems if you can do it reasonably and reliably. Some more examples of the same or similar systems is Stoke using liquid hydrogen to cool their 2nd stage reentry heat shield or SpaceX using Kerosene as a working fluid for the hydrologic system in F9's grid fins. Aerospace engineers are just something else. I am sure there are many more examples of this in practice; these are just the ones that I can think of off the top of my head.
That guy knows his stuff! You can absolutely tell he's not one of those CEO that just manages people to get the job done, he is highly involved and absolutely loves every aspect of the process!
Imagine Elon Musk doing this interview.
After all the stuttering and lies it would be a joke.
I like that he embraces new social media and does a long interview instead of the meaningless old school media sound bite interview.
@@cowpotpi3Please cry harder. No really, cry some more for me. Your misery fills me with joy.
@@cowpotpi3He’s done a full starbase tour in this exact same format with the Everyday Astronaut. Elon acted the exact same way as Tory here.
I’m not an Elon Fanboy, in fact I despise Teslas. But I’m getting tired of all this needless vitriol. Why are you letting him live rent-free in your head?
@@enemyspotted2467 Yes. They both work on advancing space tech and i would imagine would get along in person pretty well. Elons twitter antics don't really erase his huge contribution for spacex.
But yeah his antics in twitter don't really help with vitriol and polarization. The polarization we have is natural end result from algorithms feeding people what they want to hear and i fully expect things to degrade further.
Some of the forces that Tory talked about here I had NO IDEA about. The water spray around the rocket being for sound dampening, the POGO, Acoustic concerns with a liquid rocket, the CG aiming of the solid rockets…WOW such an awesome and interesting video!
Them issues are emphasized on pretty much every documentary on every single liquid fueled rocket....lol
Nothing like 2 crazy smart, enthusiastic, humble professionals exploring a shared love! One of the best vids I've seen in a long time. Thanks!
I love Tory's hardhat almost as much as watching you geek out. And seeing Tory respond and his eyes light up when he kept realizing that he could go deeper with you... So great
Such a great explainer. My highlight is tagging your dad along and how Tory recognizes him that he worked James Webb Telescope. So beautiful 😍
I expect that Tory is a smart man but there may be more to the James Webb part of the story. He likely has people on staff who are paid to feed him information before any interview to help make the interview go well. Congratulations on a marriage, a new kid, a kid off to college etc takes so little extra time but massively improves the story for the viewers.
@@kensmith5694 I think it was more likely that Destin mentioned it to Tory in a private converation before the shoot (the factory tour, pre-production phone call, etc.), and Tory or an aide made sure to remember. Regardless, it's a class move.
@@ignorant_dragoon My favorite was "Oh, I forgot you have the obsession with laminar flow". Whether it was a previous interview, watching the channel, whatever, it seems like Tory has at least a mild interest in Destin's channel. Which, like, for rocket nerds like him, who wouldn't like Smarter Every Day?
I love listening to people who talk about their passions. Great video as always, Destin
Love your videos with Tory, always such great chat. And when you synced up on the bell cooling channels, that was so heart warming.
27:00 *This* is what makes a good interviewer in the rocketry field. Talk serious engineering language with the guest so it becomes a conversation he's happily engaged in and not one of the routine interviews he has to endure. Keep it up, Destin!
I work on the Vulcan Centar so this holds a special place in my heart
What never ceases to amaze me is your passion to learn and by proxy have others around you learn also. We need more of that in this world.
Whether it's from his personality or experience, you can tell just by how he speaks, why Tory is so successful. He's definitely an engineer through and through, a businessman, a PR spoke-person and a people person all combined. Great image for a company to have.
Sunday 9pm and somehow me, a German 38 year old carpenter is enjoying one of his favourite channels. I don't know how to describe it.
Destin... thank you for your service!!!!
For me it is crazy how my English has improved over the last few years watching you.
Amazing videos! Thanks a lot.
Vielen Dank aus Deutschland
I gotta say I gained a lot of respect for Tory after your last video featuring him, and now this video he totally lives up to it. Seems like a great guy who cares a lot 👍
Destin this was fantastic! Thank you for your ongoing work. I was very excited to hear about how they were using additive manufcacturing for the thruster coolant!
What a beautiful communicator! So articulate and passionate in how he speaks about this rocket. Your interview questions were also first class. Bravo!! 🙌
I got my job because of that plant tour video. I now work with those tanks. I have to thank you Destin. You made a big impact on my life.
Was it because he made you aware of the place, or did you learn something totally new in his video that turned out to help you answer an interview question, or something?
@@moogle68 both actually.
@@Geeko170 mind if I ask what the tidbit of information that you learned from the episode that answered a interview question was, and what the question was?
@@moogle68 In my experience, having a little bit of knowledge of what the company does can go a long long ways in an interview. Maybe it's showing some excitement about the friction stir welding. Maybe it's mentioning how you want the job because the CNC at your makerspace is only 5x10 feet, and the ULA one is like 15x40 feet. Even just knowing the name of the contractor or customer goes a long ways.
Having some basic understanding of the product is good too. Being able to say that I didn't learn about this specific application in college, but I do now know that you use to do it. The thing with the CG of the rocket and managing asymmetric thrust, for example.
Just based on Tory’s mustache, this is gonna get interesting.
That's such majestic mustache.
You know that man is serious.
If he puts half as much care and thoughtfulness into his rockets as he does into that dashing cowboy look, the company is in good hands.
The way you admire and talk about your dad, Destin (not just in this video). It made me think. That is how you know you did right as a parent and it definitely inspires me to be the best version of myself for my son.
This video is amazing Destin!
I loved how you’ve opened up ULA a little and I’m so impressed to know how thoroughly Tory understands his product. Very impressive!
Thank you too for taking the time to share this special moment with your dad with us as well. I find it super personal but the way you allowed our audience into your lives like that is both beautiful and sad for me: I wish I had a dad that I could have shared things like this with. What an honour for your dad to have you mate. God Bless you brother!!
Lastly I’m curious about your confidence implied by the “Vulcan’s gonna persist”. I’m led to believe that the Vulcan just can’t compete from a business standpoint with other reusable vehicles for similar lift classes. What makes you so confident that it will stay around?
30:51 Your dad and you, that’s a very nice picture. The love in his eyes are just as strong back then as it is now. You’ve got a wholesome dad, and you (and him) deserve it. Great story, I love these kind of videos with a mix of nerdy curiosity and family feeling.
So cool you got to do all this with your dad. That must be fantastic. I'm 78 years old and I lost my dad and mom 70 years ago. I have always been so jealous over people who have had parents all their lives. It's not a huge thing but it has always been a "hole" I could never share.
Thanks Dustin. Another fantastic video..
Hugs.❤
Destin is a really lucky guy that he can share this all with his dad and consciously knows that he is.
I can really feel Tory's enthusiasm and your own, Destin.
I've been watching this with a massive smile on my face. I wish I could've been present for this conversation.
I'm a physicist by training, I understand rockets from this perspective, but I don't know a lot of the gritty details like manufacturing choices, material selection and so on.
I particularly enjoyed that point about the surprising advantages of using additive manufacturing for the cooling channels. I would never have known the surface texture of AM can lead to turbulent flow, and that that is better than laminar flow for heat transfer.
Tory is a nerd's nerd, and as open a book as he's allowed to be.
This video really made my day. Thanks!
I live right across the river from where this video was shot, it is only a few minutes drive. I get to watch all these launches from my own backyard, the larger rockets will even shake the whole house. I have seen so many launches that sometimes I forget how awesome all these are. Videos like this remind me of how special every launch is and I am very grateful to be able to be so close to all these launches. Thanks great video!
I think the thing I love about this interview, is Tory probably does a lot of interviews with people who don’t have the depth of understanding like you do, Destin. So it took a few minutes for him to warm up, but once you started asking pointed questions and speaking to a common level of technical understanding, you could see his guard let down and he had to almost actively start holding back on how much he said. He wanted to go into all the nitty gritty details, but obviously as CEO (and probably for ITAR reasons as well) couldn’t. Absolutely stunning interview, and as a fellow rocket nerd who used to work for the OTHER big rocket company, I thank you for making us feel like we were part of a conversation between two enthusiasts!
Sounds like you may not have seen the other Tory appearances on SED - you should look 'em up, they're also great. A ULA factory tour and an Atlas launch.
You can hear him start off with "This is a rocket. It will go up in two days. It is red and white. It is 200 feet tall."
Pretty soon he transitions into "Yeah, the additive manufacturing is a really transformative process, both in the classic ways of time and cost, but also in the physics and engineering with laminar/turbulent flow. Pretty cool stuff." I love seeing the nerd come out of hiding in his press junket shell.
"Hot naughty bits"
Thanks, I'm going to call it that too from now on
Not work/school appropriate when taken out of context.
Pointy end up, naughty end down.
@@STEAMerBear rocket science is not PG13. Hot naughty bits, bell ends, thrust vectoring …
@@garnergc I get that, meanwhile 100% of my students will not be able to quit laughing (and my parents and principal will only hear about those three words). 🤪
Some really powerful thrusting going on there.
Destin, your videos are always amazing. This one especially tugged on my heartstrings with the photo of your dad and seeing how much the two of you look like identical twins. My son and I have that same characteristic, and we are planning our trip for some time this year to see a launch together. Being from Gadsden just down the road from you, I loved growing up so close to Huntsville and Canaveral. It made me feel as though I was truly connected with our space programs. Hopefully, we will be seeing more adventures with you and your dad. Thank you for all that you do. ❤
Absolutely love this video!!! I’m studying engineering and recently had to design a rocket engine cooling system for the vulcan rocket engine. It’s amazing to actually see the engine and the people behind the designing of it
You can tell how big of a moment this was, not only for Destin but Destin’s dad! When asked if Tory could get a photo with him, he was star struck! Half froze in place, all giddy, still being the “camera guy” for Destin 😂😂😂. Absolutely awesome
Cherish those last 20ish years of your life with the ones you love the most. ❤️
ULA needs to sell those hard hats!! I know about 2000 guys who would buy one YESTERDAY-mostly in oil fields, but anyone who’s dealing with sun and overhead objects needs this. They should also be made in blaze orange and safety yellow with 3M retro reflective beads.
don't let your memes be dreams.
Amazon even sells them. "Western style hard hats"
@@_sticks_ great! I’ll check it out 👷➕🤠
When my sons grow up I hope they enjoy hanging out with me as much as you do your dad 🙂. Thanks for this amazing tour and launch.
Great video as always Destin! I love the way you integrate sentimental bits into these videos about technology
Tory is just the best. It brings me great joy whenever I see you two interact.
Tory Bruno is a gift to all of aerospace! So grateful you took us on this journey with such and amazing person and rocket. Thanks Destin!
Your excitement in all of these videos is palatable! And that's actually (for me) the best part of them! Thanks for all you do!
it is admirable the amount of knowledge and humbleness presented here. It also a blessing to have people like them willing to share so much experience. I really appreciate your videos. Excellent learning experience that give us hope and inspiration.
8:10 thats so wholesome
Destin, I am a senior in high school and I lived in Huntsville for a period of my life.
I remember spending a week at space camp and seeing a video where you were standing in front of the black plane that goes super-sonic and thinking to myself “wow, someone this smart is just like me, standing next to a fast plane needing out”
I remember your previous video with Tori and it was one of my favorite. You recently asked on twitter what we felt about long form content and I mentioned Tori specifically as an example of a long form video that was amazing from start to finish and here is another fabulous video with Tori.
Please keep doing what you do Destin, you have helped me maintain not just a passion for space, but importantly a passion for learning. I am now going into my first year as a computer science student and I absolutely have you to thank for wanting to continue learning.
Thankyou, Destin. You are an inspiration and I just want you to know that you have impacted my life in a way nobody else has. If you ever struggle to put a video up, remember that you truly make a difference and my life is much better having seen your passion and knowledge.
This has to be one of my favorite videos that you have put out. It was so clear and made sense to me as you both spoke. I learned so much in such a short time. Thank you!
The ULA rocket factory tour is my FAVORITE video you’ve done! Rewatched that one a bunch! Now there’s another to add to the list
That was a really cool video!
I think the ability of incredibly smart people to explain complex systems to a non expert audience in simple terms without glossing over specific details is a hugely underappreciated skill, and Tory is an expert at that!
Love the dynamics between Dustin and Tory. Tory is so open and helpful too. A wonderful video to watch.
It's such a joy to listen to these two talking. So much passion, knowledge, curiosity and mutual acknowledgement ❤
The fact that you are so well versed on the topics being discussed blows my mind. And Troy’s response at 27:22 supports that point.
Laminer flow is so lovely. 3d printing challenges not so much
Tory's recollection about Destin being a fan of laminar flow made me laugh... I think we all are familiar with Destin's fascination with laminar flow. It's wonderful that they know each other that well. 😀
Yes, Tory's big smile there highlights his enjoyment of the entire interview - he gets to enjoy a conversation with a knowledgeable fellow nerd. Much better than the kind of "standard interview" Tory has to endure. And of course it leads to a much better and more informative video.
I love it when people get into the details of things like this, and especially unimpeded access (to a point) where you can get up close and personal with a rocket on the pad. I'd consider that a once in a lifetime opportunity, but I'd be wanting to speak to Tory about stuff like this a lot more often, because he has the interest, the info and the calm demeanor to keep you interested in the topic. "You worked on James Webb, right? Outstanding." kudos to dad too.
It is a pleasure to learn alongside you Mr. Sandlin. Thank you for setting a very high standard of operation for anyone who watches your content. The humility and respect shown here is outstanding. Thank you and blessings to you brother. 😇🙏
I watch these videos with awe and fascination, I try to understand but I feel most of it goes over my head. Just hearing two people so giddy about discussing this topic brings me joy!
One of the important thing I like in your video is that you are humble. You don’t do videos just for the heck of it but truly interested in learning. Nice to see how much you love your dad.
I love that you got to share this experience with your dad. Even more so, have it recorded. That’s one of the things I miss most about not having my dad around. Sharing cool experiences with him. And forgetting the stories he told a thousand times.
I know everyone else said it too but I gotta say. Tory asking for a picture with your Dad and knowing he worked JW is awesome.
There’s only a handful of people I could listen to all day. Tory is one. Thanks for capturing this wonderful interview.
The fact that your dad is a legend is unreal! The fact that you can go with him to these events is just simply amazing! Amazing video Destin! Love It!
I worked on Peregrine, and it was fantastic learning more about the rocket that gave our lander a fighting chance! The failure was a punch in the gut but it was amazing seeing how we rebounded. I always think about your words on engineering humility, and I can't wait for our next shot.
Also, the bit about the 3D printed material providing better heat transfer due the increased roughness and turbulence was super cool! I remember learning about energy transfer in turbulent boundary layers in school. It's been years since I had to use that part of my brain, so thinking about that made my night!
thaInks for your videos. it's so great that you share the bond you have with your dad, I wish I had that.I learn something new with every video that you do.the way you explane things works for me (I'm a visual and Kinesthic learner) .I learn things by watching how it's done or figuring it out for myself (trial and error) I program,weld,do networking, and rebuild and fix motors thru to surface mount electronics. as you've probly noticed I can't spell for shite
anyway thanks for the great work,wish I was able to support you with more than words but thanks again for the great work.
This Tory guy does come across as a very chill cool dude!
This is quite possibly the best video I've ever watched on RUclips. So much enthusiasm all around, and everything explained in terms "normal" people can understand. Tory certainly seemed like a decent down to Earth sort of chap (ironic being down to Earth and building space rockets?) taking time for your Dad too was a really nice touch. I cant think of any other CEO who would have taken that much time and trouble like that.
Thank you so much for this piece. I grew up with a highly enthusiastic engineer father who ran his own company selling systems integrating his own inventions to all sorts of outfits doing all sorts of things and there's nothing so charming as listening to engineers enthuse about creative solutions to interesting problems! My dad took me to Epcot Center, too, shortly after it first opened. This video was special to me.
I'm so glad you had the opportunity to follow up with this rocket. The video, into the construction, is one of my favourites.
Hey Destin. This was incredible to watch. The video you made a few years ago, touring the Decatur factory with Tory, is what inspired me to apply to ULA. I now work as an engineer at ULA on the Vulcan development team. Your videos make me proud to be an engineer. Thank you for what you do.
That final shot of the rocket when it's pierced the clouds and shining light through them from above, that is insanely beautiful
I could have listened to you two for hours.
Thanks to you all.
I really enjoyed your enthusiasm...
As always
[12:20] "Water is, almost, the best acoustic-" *water droplet lands on lens* "-energy absorbing material you can have."
You can't make this stuphup!
Many appreciations, Destin, for the Daily smart-gems.
Dude this was probably my favourite SED video yet. So awesome to just hear two super smart people talk about super cool stuff! Well done Destin!
Great video as always, loved to see Tory, he really is the nerd of nerds 😊 such a nice man, very respectful and u can see he takes the time to know the people he will talk to, for the dad it was the time of the photo, and for Destin it was the time they were talking about the fuel channels in the motor "I forgot about your fascination about laminar and turbulent flow", loved this guy and can't wait for the fueling video!!! 27:11
Incredible! Thank you for creating this and sharing it with the world.
Two smart people geeking out over rocket engines. What a treat!!!
I'm wrapping up my (third try at my) first year of college now at 40 years old in large part because of the inspiration I get from this channel. Thank you, Destin.
Maybe in three or four years I'll be able to land a job at ULA. Here's hoping.
Congrats on reattempting college! It takes a lot of guts to try again. Take it from me with 6 years in for a 4 year ME degree!
Remember the secret to getting that college degree is just getting to the finish line. In the end nobody cares if you had a C- average, or an A. It's the piece of paper on the wall.
@@Wifiisbetterthenethernet thanks. It's probably going to be a total of six years for me too, counting the semesters I took at 18 and now. But I'm a lot more motivated to finish now than when I was a teenager.
@AIM54A Yup. C's get Degrees. 🤣🤣🤣 Which is great since I have a job, kids, and my mom to take care of too. Thank the gods for caffeine. I'll sleep when I'm dead.
In three years there will no longer be a ULA, it will have been bought by then (probably by Blue Origin), but you can still get a job working on Vulcan, that rocket has payloads scheduled to launch all the way into the 2030s (mostly Amazon Kuiper internet satellites).
Informed humble approachable wonder is what we love so much about your personality. We get to learn along side you no matter our or your level of expertise. You take us on a journey to that same wonder. Bravo Destin and what a cool thing to see that rocket pre first flight and even cooler to see an industry titan give your dad a super cool, and deserved, pat on the back.
It’s always a blessing to watch your material. Long time Patreon supporter and I have zero want to do anything but continue my support of what you are doing. Bravo and God Bless!!
Wow, Destin. Your videos, including this one, are packed full of information, but knowing that you got to do all of this with your dad brought me to tears. I lost my dad in 1989 when I was 11. He'd be amazed at today's technology, and I know he'd love your videos as much as I do.
By the way, after having watched the in-depth video about the Saturn V in Huntsville, I made sure to drive the three hours from Atlanta on a day trip during a recent visit to the States. It was spectacular to see the rocket in person! Thanks, Destin, for the inspiration.
Thanks Destin and Denstin's Dad for this story so wonderfully explained. I truly enjoyed listening to Tory! What an amazing person and a privilege to have him tell the story on the design.
Thank you for sharing this experience you had with your Dad. Take advantage of every chance you get. I lost my Dad last month and regret that I wasn't able to do more things with him.
Fantastic video Destin!
Loved everything the nerdy and the emotional stuff.
love it when tech-nerds go full nerd on each other and the genuine love for their tech gets them where no script ever would have..the fun is jumping of the screen, love it.
