What emoji makes the best rocket?

I made and launched seven rocket emojis to find out why the rockets we see in social media don't look anything like those that actually go to space. This has got to be my coolest video yet!
Featuring an all-stars lineup of Facebook, Twitter, Google, Apple, Microsoft, WhatsApp, and Mozilla with a bonus launch at the end.

Wow!!! It actually worked!!! This is the most fun I've had working on a video. As mentioned, if you'd like one of the actual 3D printed rocket emojis then I'm randomly sending them out to new subscribers and anyone who comments. Cheers - James

oh thank you, I was genuinely confused :)

[@MedlifeCrisis]

I saw the run time and thought ah I’ll just skip to the end to watch which one won but the 18 minutes rocketed by, absolutely brilliant. Not only a very unique idea but the whole video with practical demos, explanations & gags (Microsoft one was superb) was brilliant. Cracking video eh Gromit?

[@mikieswart]

hah! fancy seeing you here!

[@tigerfun8644]

I skipped to the end and I'm not ashamed

[@lightdark00]

I'm saddened you never recommended this channel. I had to wait for youtube to show me the recent Red Delicious video.

[@halonothing1]

Fancy seeing you here. I'm glad you watched till the end. I only just discovered this channel myself and I'm finding there hasn't been a video yet I wanted to skip.

This is genuinely THE most interesting topic I've seen in a youtube video in a while :D keep it up! I'd love to win one of those, or even get the SLT files to print my own :D

Thanks! STLs will be up on patreon, but if you send me an email i can get it to you directly

[@user-fp6dt1os1l]

@@AtomicFrontier that's the spirit!!

[@aishiteirutoittekure]

Excellent work! The drag numbers actually feed back into the aerodynamic stability you talked about earlier-- the highest drag ones are the ones with the biggest fins, which helped keep them straighter for longer. I'm pretty sure that's why you saw the result with high-drag rockets going higher.

Always love the hands on labs and examples you provide. Taking questions of "well, how does this part work?" And then answering them with a simple demonstration will always be something I think makes your channel so unique.

[@CHOIBOY2]

Loving the quality of the videos and seeing the amount of effort put into it. Rarely do I find myself interested in rocket design but you managed go keep me interested the whole time. Great job! 👏

[@dima.d.]

The statistics and graphs at the end pleased me much. IMHO, many can launch odd-shaped projectiles, but only scientists plot the results afterwards.

[@nobody-tj1mv]

Ah yes. The age old question. FINALLY someone did something about it.

[@kikivoorburg]

I’m quite surprised that these actually flew relatively well! It’s not a bad way to get people interested in rocketry. The centre of mass - centre of pressure explanation was super clear as well. Great video!!

[@statelyelms]

This is an amazingly well done video! I can't believe I watched the whole thing, predicted the winner AND learned something new (centre of pressure is cool af and I will be thinking about that with just about everything from now on). Thank you for this truly awesome video, I hope you get a massive well-deserved popularity boost from this!

[@MoempfLP]

Launching a 3D printed rocket with black powder. That's a brilliant idea.

[@liambecker558]

[@henriquemaiochi7606]

Omg that video is actually one of the best i've seen about rockets

[@Hygix_]

This is probably the best rocketry experiment video because it's very well made, the explanation is very great and we'll explained, this is the first time I saw your video, the fact that I accidentally play this video because a water fall from my hair is just weird

[@montsomokake1647]

Greatest battle in the history of the internet. Apart from the fact that I'd love to win one of those, another amazing thing would be finding more emoji entities to put in a versus battle.

[@superslimanoniem4712]

Nice video, slight correction: At 6:00 you talk about rockets being unstable due to their thrust being at the bottom. The rocket would however be just as unstable if the thrust was at the top, as the engine moves with the rocket instead of staying in place (rocket pendulum fallacy)

[@canal718]

Great stuff man! Gotta love educational videos with humor on point.

[@Vdayhater]

This was quite possibly the most informative, yet silliest video on emojis and rockets I've seen in a long time. That being said, I have been enjoying your content for a while. Seeing you put out absolute quality like this, I cannot wait to see what you do next.

[@SylviaRustyFae]

"Plotting the results, we see that more thrust makes the rocket go higher." What an unexpected result xD
