Thanks for the best explanation that has been bugging me for weeks, on the subject of why the SSME's are angled that way. I often thought that at lift-off the whole lifting body was moving slightly lateral through the bottom.
I would love to see this level of animations in museums. This makes the subject far more interesting to the average viewer, something that the computer models and cheap cgi that museums usually get sorely lack.
Awesome work, concise and informative, and I'm really enjoying the animation style :) Any plans to talk about the Star Clipper SSTO (with disposable external tank) or the Venture Star aerospike-powered spaceplane? I think it'd be a good idea to explore those designs and explain how one was a competitor to the Space Shuttle's design and the other was meant to be a successor, to show how engineers were trying to develop a more affordable and simpler to operate vehicle, and contrast their 'razors edge' designs with the relatively straightforward Falcon 9 partially reusable system. Again, awesome work on this series so far, I'm going to share these videos with my friends as soon as possible. Cheers!
+Rothpol X The next vid will be about Falcon 9R and Skylon, but I may include Venture Star and all the other SSTO ideas out there, or I'll have to cover it in the future if I can't make it fit in one vid.
Great Work!! but please slow down. I usually watch videos at x1.5, but although I didn't speed up yours, I had to go back a few times, especially where you are talking about the shift in center of mass. Your videos are really good!! and bring a lot of new information! so please feel free to make them more accessible and clear, for example you wrote LOX for liquid Oxygen, it might be clear to you and me - but I am not sure that for kids.
I think the real expense of going to space is the fact that NASA employs 20,000 people and 60,000 contracted workers.... Paying 80,000 people ain't cheap. That's nearly 8 billion bucks, if not more, considering that the government's actual expense is nearly twice the salary the worker pays. Total government expense per person is 250k, roughly. This likely doesn't apply to the 60,000 people, but that's 5 billion just to cover the bases of NASA employees. Those 60k contractors aren't cheap, either.
..recently read of a satelite company using balloons to lift above atmosphere and launch.. said company gaining popularity.. will you illustrate this and comment on effectiveness?.. my donation is a thousand attaboys..
Bro this was stunning.
thank you!!!
+Stanley VonMedvey your art style is amazing, insta-subscribe, hope that you keep inspiring us
+SmarterEveryday +Stanley VonMedvey Collab! Now!
dude you didnt make this
nasa&elona is a hoax;)) &earth is a ... guess what;)
This animation style is beautiful!
+BrainCraft :D Thanks!!
Oh, this has just made me realize how much I miss the space shuttles...
This series. Is. Incredible.
Very nice animation and explanation. Hope to see more of these!

Great video, i love the clear explanation of the launch profile of the shuttle. I love drawing as well as spacestuff, gonna subscribe to ur channel.
Wow, great animation style, and great explanation! This'll help me with my Shuttle in KSP.
This is an excellent idea - and it's well executed. Great job so far Stan.

Amazing work, please keep it up! To help ensure that, I'm now supporting you on Patreon. Go, spaceships!
How about an episode on "how ISS was assembled" or "how far will the Voyager go and where is its last stop?"
Stan! Well done man! I love that you're doing this. I wish you all sorts of success
