It Really Is Rocket Science!

"It Really Is Rocket Science!" is the story of all things aero at Sandia National Labs which began in the 1940s with a vision and a passion that would eventually become a world renowned aerospace capability for the United States of America. This historical documentary is dedicated to the men and women of Sandia who inspired a nation, left a lasting legacy and pioneered the field of aeroballistics.

God bless all of you. Were still here, God bless America !

These are the men of Honour, with their efforts only we can see the advancements in Science and technology and engineering solutions for the tasks associated with Rocketry

Delighted to hear of the Lancelin solar eclipse test, one of the launchers with a mockup rocket is on display at the RAAFA aviation museum in Bull Creek - a suburb of Perth - and when I saw it the information did not mention the results of the test so I went looking. I found a book about it and discovered the failures. Very cool to have something like that in an easy drive range.

[@mogreasy8499]

I just got done watching old videos of different rocket testing by Sandis National Labs, and those had to be some of the best time of those scientists live testing those rockets! USA has to be the best in the world in designing rockets and anything else those guys designed. Unbelievable videos it's a must watch. Hats off to those fellas!!

Some awesome engineering.

[@NorwayT]

Your historical films are just pure excellence! I hope Sandia National Labs will produce more of these golden nuggets of learning in the time to come! Thank you!

[@cat637d]

Thanks to every single Patriot that enabled these scientific miracles!

[@leonardtozzolo7963]

Job well done. Thank You!

I am curious about the Strypi vehicle. They said they developed it in two months. NASA's Astrobee 1500 flew a year before Strypi and used the same Castor with Recruit strap ons. To me it seems like the Strypi is a derivative, not a new vehicle.

[@leoarc1061]

The "new key lar" bombs were in fact designed to be aerodynamically draggy. A nuclear bomb with an optimal aerodynamic shape might reach its detonation height fast enough to destroy the plane which carried it. That isn't good. As yields went up, bombs were even fitted with parachutes - a notoriously draggy aerodynamic shape.

[@aerosoapbreeze264]

"parachutes - a notoriously draggy aerodynamic shape" lol

[@Mark_Ocain]

Very interesting

[@KA-uk9sp]

Really an amazing documentary. Congratulations

[@jasebatey5468]

This was very cool, thank you very much for sharing it - would love to see more just like this!

[@briand4000]

Sandia is a constantly evolving enterprise that inspires the best minds in the world to create amazing things. I really enjoy my work there, although in a purely support role to the line research orgs. Incredibly well done video!

[@aether5213]

Riveting and inspiring documentary. Thanks!

[@micahwilson4244]

The nuclear bomb was shaped that way to slow it down and give the bomber more time to fly away before it detonates.

[@Andy-le8xy]

I would like to have been part of all of this from their beginning. I would still like to be part of where they are going with this technology!! Sandia National Labs is cool.

[@tonyc7352]

Here is a great story about this. The channel "The history guy" has a video called "Laika and the Soviet space dogs".

[@dennismaxberry5272]

And yet we me and you still have to worry if not about what you are thinking, hun. About what they are thinking about. They get it right, and then it will be about the commission on what uses will prevail from them. Then when you bring to the table just a certain number of companies it either slows down progress, without or with a plan b c. It just isn't any secrecy any more.

[@Rich-hy2ey]

The people they have here talking about developing and testing nukes appear to be in their 70's and 80's while the people working on nukes in Iran are in their 30's and 40's. This should terrify people in the West, if they have any sense...

[@perniciouspete4986]

The people who are ACTUALLY working on nuclear weapons are at Los Alamos National Laboratory. My son is one of them--he's 26. Sandia only works on the periphery. If you don't believe that, just listen to the video.

[@skindianu]

Be terrified by yourself. All kinds have worked on these projects

[@zarlok5294]

Why can’t people pronounce the word nu - cle - ar ....especially narraters for films on this subject.. the word is NOT “nuc - yu - ler “.

[@tangibleblockofwisdom6386]

also, ms announcer lady, it is pronounced : "nu-clee-ar" not "nuke-u-larr"....

[@dangehret]

New cue lar? I though it was new clee are! This video was probably narrated by a marketer and not a nuclear physicist. What a pity.

Germany launched the first man-made object? I don't think Robert Goddard would agree with you there.

[@PaddyPatrone]

They launched the first missles that reached space.

[@indigohammer5732]

The Paris Gun fired projectiles into space.The gun was capable of firing a 106-kilogram (234 lb) shell to a range of 130 kilometers (81 mi) and a maximum altitude of 42.3 kilometers (26.3 mi) The greatest height reached by a human-made projectile until the first successful V-2 flight test in October 1942.

[@edwilko8819]

these bombs didnt lead to the end of ww2 who soo wrong

[@dougball328]

That is debatable. It looked like Japan was going to force the allies into invading the main Japanese islands. The estimated number of casualties, on both sides, was enormous. The dropping of the bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki convinced the most of the government to surrender. Tojo did not want to, but the Emperor stepped in and made the decision to surrender. So while WWII in the Pacific would have ended anyway, the nuclear bombs ended it sooner and with much less loss of life to both sides.

[@ghostedyoutuber263]

The word NUCLEAR is two syllables, not three syllabes. Stop mispronouncing the word.

[@dougball328]

No, they are both three syllables, just there is the proper pronunciation and then there's "W's" !
