This takes me back to the late 60's and my Estes rocket days. Who remembers the Mars Snooper?

[@craigw.scribner6490]

I remember the Estes "Mars Snooper" and, later, the "Mars Lander" back in the early seventies.

[@dylanz5598]

HOLLY COW, A FEW OF THOSE ROCKETS HAD A DELAYED SOUND WHEN THEY TOOK OFF. THAT WAS F'ING COOL AS HELL😂 I REMEMBER BUILDING LITTLE ROCKETS WITH MY POP'S BACK WHEN I WAS IN ELEMENTARY/MIDDLE SCHOOL. I MISS DOING THAT STUFF. IT WAS DEFINITELY FUN, THAT'S FOR SURE.

[@davidbraatz5502]

LOVE the Rockets Magazine style interviews!! I grew up on those DVDs and its great to see the same spirit in your channel. Would love to see more interviews if you can make it happen!

[@Gerardi07]

I love how the first rocket we all see is just some guy carrying an SM-6 missile.

just got to watch a couple thousand $$$ worth the engines go off

[@RocketVlogs]

tens of thousands!

[@mikepatton8691]

​@@RocketVlogsreally?! To be honest I know nothing about model rockets, how much do the engines for the bigger rockets actually cost?

[@judet2992]

7:33 That's the clearest exhaust I've ever seen of an SRB.

[@wbehrens62]

So juiced to see the AQM 37C...Used to build these in Andover Ks. at the Raytheon plant (long time ago) the original ran on INFRA / Hydrazene through a Harley Davidson motor :). This was after they built them in Boulder CO.....Again thanks for the video...juiced to see one of these launch verticle instead of slung off a F4Fantom in the horizontal.

Went to LDRS! The even was awesome! I was the last rocket to launch but tbh it wasn't good last one tho lol, was really nice meeting alot of people, was really hoping to meet you but maybe next time! Keep up the great work man!

[@TimLukeAnderson]

I love watching these!

[@Dude8718]

220 pounds? Jeez I just realized you could launch a literal 6 foot dude with those forces, not including the aerodynamics. But just that thrust is crazy, to accelerate the mass of an adult like that. I just visualized a human taking off like that and it's insane.

[@johnnydiamondsmusic1673]

They don’t burn very long considering their size. Looks great though

[@johnmalenchek6597]

Didnt think they could make a rocket out of wood and papier mache.

[@sleeve8651]

The solid rocket fueled guys, used to make their way through Danville, Illinois area, back in the late 1990's ! It was fascinating to see everything connected to that scale of rocketry ! Sadly, it seemed things changed after 911, and I don't believe they traveled this way any longer ! Too, I'm guessing through attrition, many of those same rocketeers are no longer with us ? Thanks for posting ! A friend of mine, made at least one video, we called the, " John Deere 's ", and another named, " Yard Darts " ! Those rockets that ended up traveling sideways, for whatever reason, and ended up plowing the ground, and those that returned to Earth nearly as fast as they were launched ! Of course with no chute deployed ! Made for some exciting times ! ∆ [ ] ✓l l\ 💥 ☁️☁️☁️

There's an awesome launch site in Princeton, Illinois

Engines are throttling back to 80 % as vehicle reaches maximum aerodynamic pressure. Max Q.

[@mercdragons]

One thing I love about this hobby. Every loves a good crash but everyone tries to will all parachutes out when they fail.

[@jakerazmataz852]

What's the difference between the black smoke engines and the others? 3:48 I love the crackling sound it makes.

[@RocketVlogs]

That one is a sparky. It's got chunks of titanium in the propellant specifically for the sound and visual effects!

[@davidatovar]

I still have a TESTORS Jay Hawk kit I didn't think I had the skill to attempt.

[@andyman8630]

reminds me of my teens in the 70's! hand crafted my rockets (cast a nicely shaped egg shell for the nose cone, chunky cardboard tube, hand crafted & mounted tri-fins and a plastic solder-wire core for the engine mount), built my engine (using fuel from fireworks, a chunky cardboard tube and the nozzel was a hacked off brass garden hose nozzle epoxied into the bottom end) built my launch pad using dads wooden tripod telescope mount, with a metal deflection plate and a solid piece of music wire and built the ignition system using a car battery, chunky speaker wires and a thin piece of house fuse wire inserted into the engine - managed several successful launches approx 1500 feet with a 3-5 second burn it all ended abruptly when i broke the golden rule and used a hardened steel seltzer cartridge as an engine - packed the fuel using spirits and repeatedly dropped it down a long tube for compaction, let it dry out then set it in my test bed, 90% buried in sand with the engine inverted so i could observe hid partially behind a brick wall and connected the wires to the battery, ignition, burn,,, flame and burn rates looked good,,,, got out of hand and i knew the schidt was gonna hit the fan so i brought my hands up to my face and turned side on for protection - it went BANG, and i mean big time! (3 level double brick house built into a hillside where the top floor was at street level - i was outside the front, brother was downstairs on the phone to his GF and the bang scared the flock out of her) - the sand was propelled with such force every bit that hit me penetrated my skin and left me pockmarked and bloody on the entire right side of my face, arms and legs the cartridge itself had split open and kinda looked like a boiled octopus (all the legs curled up), it bounced off the brick wall leaving a nice dent and sailed across the front of my stomach leaving a 1 foot long welt about 1/4 inch high - thankfully the smooth and undamaged part of the cartidge skinned me, had it been the twisted side i would have been disemboweled (dad kept the cartridge until he passed in 2016, now mum has it) dad and uncle came outside to see what caused the bang! dad had a furious look on his face as he opened the door, which instantly went pale when he saw me i never played with rockets again! though i did progress onto lasers! (Rhodamine 6G liquid laser) which with the assistance of my school i completed at age 15 (year 10) mammaries! llight the corners of my mind! milky water colored mammaries,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Where is this done? I see a bunch of Seattle submissions and would love to take kids if it’s close.

[@ivobrazgodinho4878]

Don't forget to wet the grass before the experiments, the capoeira is a little dry, a remote control is good and lowering the rocket standing on the ground in reverse is better, thanks, thanks

We have poles to get them out of trees, it’s the ponds that really eat our rockets at the Bong.

Are the rockets subject to a maximum propulsion time? I always see the engine on for 3 to 4 seconds.

That bizarre colour scheme on Sasquatch is odd. I would have loved to be at that brainstorm meeting. Interesting design too with the nose tapering right back to beyond CG - great launch though. Interesting to see HPR launches in a wooded area 😮

You need to watch an old episode of uk top gear they built a rocket that would put them ahead

[@kenschmidt6522]

I would assume the FAA clears the airspace in the area.

[@BKD70]

No, but they do issue a NOTAM for these events.

[@dks13827]

how did you unreef that nice parachute ?

[@michaelmickoberhaus8009]

I've seen 4th of July fireworks go higher

[@davidhance6426]

why do the rockets appear to go to the left and not straight up? Aren't you losing height by this happening?

[@RockymountainRobert]

I wonder if these guys make there rocket fuel with powdered sugar and potassium nitrate, they probably mix 5 gallon buckets full, several of them to make the amount of powder needed for the boost/thrust.

[@mikec1096]

Great video! Great coverage. Thank you

[@davidalexander4043]

did you get the Airforce involved airspace

[@puakagrinder2766]

Wow...they should build missile with nuclear warhead next

[@chetmyers7041]

21:05 Are those people at a minimum safe distance from that launch? How many feet away? Seemed like a powerful motor.

[@RocketVlogs]

Yes. Lens compression and if was a M. The pads were spaced for simultaneous launch and loading

I think that the video will be better without music

[@RocketVlogs]

Typically, yes! This year there were lots, and next year is pretty good from what I understand

[@rickolson-51]

Fun video but it wouldn't hurt to have better cameras and maybe some drones placed at different heights...

[@numbersabcdefg]

Just curious, is there a range of prices? 3k, 30k, 150k for some?

[@cycotico1387]

The propelants may get up to 3k for some of them but rockets rarely get even near 10k unless they have a goal of going to space, the reason they are generally under 10k is due to the fact that they aren't metal instead they are cardboard/paper, fiberglass or carbon fiber

[@CDNR711]

It’s because some of the fuels are really toxic, heavily controlled or both. Thus, you won’t see lots of liquid fuel rockets.

The most inappropriate name for a multicolored british rocket. Did queen janice make that herself? Sasquatch will kill it like an American rocket.
