When I met you, you were a wedding photographer with a crazy model rocket project. Now look at you. You are literally the most impressive person I know, by a wide margin. Every step you take blows my mind. You're going to space, dude.🚀♥

Everyone always talks about the rockets (which of course are incredible), but can we take a minute to appreciate the editing and production? These videos are always such a joy to watch :)

[@wbedard]

[@RubensOteroNeto]

It is always technically perfect, but the comedy and comedic timing of the scrip and edit is OFF THE CHARTS for this one. And it was already way high.

[@gkalkowsky]

Joe keeps improving too, new techniques, new equipment, it's great

[@kingkarlito]

you may like it but god the thumbnail/title X broke me trend is so played out and cringe. this level of unoriginality nearly makes me block all future videos of someone's content as it signals the death of creating something and filming it. instead it shows that you prioritize whether something would do well on youtube over an interest in the creation.

[@rockyhydra713]

@@kingkarlito I'd argue it aligns with the comedic approach he takes in the content though so it isn't as jarring. We know Joe isn't prioritizing the algo by the sheer effort and depth of the content itself. However, if you want those things gone, I'd advise taking a look at the browser extension called "DeArrow".

[@jasonmead8475]

I just want to say: this video is a masterpiece. It's perfect. Music, tone, jokes, pacing, etc. You might be getting better at making rockets, but you're getting brilliant at making videos.

"it's hard to know how much data to put in the video when trying to tell an entertaining story" FWIW I think you have the balance for "main channel" videos spot on, there's enough detail I feel like I understand what you're doing but you don't get into the weeds. Putting deep dives in their own place and keeping these update vids snappy but informative works great

Man, you prompted a deep memory with the mixers. My first job when I was 14 was working in a kitchen at a hotel restaurant complex from like 4AM to noon on the weekends. I made a lot of sheet cakes in the Hobart mixer, and whatever dick made the recipe had it almost perfectly fill the mixer bowl. So the initial mixing was an excruciating process of trying to not fling flour or water around the kitchen. Later I also worked at a pizza place and as waitstaff at hotel banquets, and I honestly partly got into rockets just so that I'd never have to work in food service again.

[@BPSspace]

Luckily with flour flinging everywhere it's just annoying, and doesn't distribute a ton of oxidizer into the air! I never did any food service with mixers but I did make ice cream and sing for tips for a while. Most food service jobs really put ya through it.

10:00 Machinist here again: dont beat yourself up over your 3D Printed steady rest. It was perfect for its intended purpose. The lubricated tape was a nice touch. Here is a fun fact that harks back to my other post: if you have a big heavy part on a big heavy steady, the surface of the part can be damaged by the steady if its not REALLY well lubricated. Ideally you have roller bearings, but if you only have brass pads, you can jerry rig a nice lubricated surface using...... EMERY TAPE! (I kid you not). you turn it inside out, clamp one end in the top hinged bit at the front, and run the tape around the job and under the three points of the rest (INSIDE OUT - its worth repeating), squirt it with a heap of oil can oil, and Bob's your uncle. Using a finer grit tape is preferable.

[@mojaverockets]

Excellent video Joe, I will use parts of it in my rocketry course at school.. Two things I really appreciate: 1. You are building a good size rocket to reach space with capacity for payload instead of 'but a camera weighs too much' mentality 2. You suggest people wanting to do this type of thing do so with the help of an experienced mentor for safety and success.

Many Kudo's to you, Sir, on the safety blurb at the end. As a Lifetime member of Tripoli and a Longtime Level 3 flyer, you are spot on with the Mentor recommendation. Also as an ESRA (Experimental Sounding Rocket Association) Lead official, and part of a 140 plus (international) college teams competition process, where Mentors are the heart of taking students from all walks of life and working towards amazing 10K and 30K altitude rocket and payload projects. Good Mentors will make sure you have the opportunity to exceed even their accomplishments but make sure Mother Nature and Father Physics are not angered in any way. The Rocket Gods need to be appeased, and after showing the OKC disaster (John was a friend), it proves we can not be complacent in our hobby. PS Pass on my regards to Rick M. He's a good man!!!
