You can rly tell that Jamie had a lot of fun this episode😂

With my vast knowledge from years in Kerbal space program working with rocket science, I thought it was obvious from the first test that flew into the air that they should have reduced power a lot. Sad that we didn't get to see if the aim was good for 800ft, would have made a great shot. Still great episode, miss this show.

[@Wesguus]

Yes, indeed.

The cement truck is a certified historical moment for a subset of people

I’ve been sick in bed since Friday night this channel has saved my sanity this weekend

I always wondered why they didn't compress the bottles in the wine launch. Each action has an equal and opposite reaction. Compression increases the velocity of the launched cork by focusing the release of the expanding gases FORWARD. Increased velocity, increased distance.

An Episode i do not remember having seen before. Nice! 😊

[@EsteemedReptile]

Oh hell yes! This was one of my favorite episodes!

[@PexiTheBuilder]

From moment they told about rocket motor, was wondering are they aiming for another continent or boat in pond..

[@ZoonCrypticon]

@28:10 first ancient cruise missile design going beserk! 😂🤣🥲😂

[@andr3sjms335]

That was a shame. The "torpedo" was a "Lifting body" without elevators in the tail, which caused the front to rise and the rear part to rotate backwards. The same thing happens to airplanes if the center of lift is much further forward than the center of mass this would cause the airplane to rotate backwards.

[@C8Canine]

Why they gotta sync his laugh with the music at 5:44 lol

4:38 USS Buster, Savage Class Science Vessel

[@touchm3]

I just love the contrast between their designs, style vs simplicity

[@antonioscendrategattico2302]

Simplicity usually wins, too. Reminds me of the paper crossbow episode, where Adam won by making a very simple base design that managed to look stylish as hell too once he finalized it.

23:57 HE HE HE HE whoops🤣🤣🤣

[@jeromefitzroy]

Those bombs are Chinese wedding jars

[@Art.URO-LM]

Now the episodes of the death ray and Archimedes' steam cannon

[@charleediaven6278]

It needs a long tail feather!

[@alexwainwright3592]

Can you upload the cement truck one please

[@thespegs]

You can see clips of it online

[@alexwainwright3592]

12:01 I don't remember her name but I recognize her face from James May and Oz Clark's wine in the United States season.

[@MarcosCodas]

I appreciate the reference to this duo! They were great in Toy Stories as well.

[@jayerjavec]

Mwaaaah, the French... champagne has always been celebrated for its excellence. There is a California champagne by Paul Masson, inspired... by that same French excellence. It's fermented in the bottle, and like the best French champagnes, it's vintage-dated, so Paul Masson's superb...

[@PexiTheBuilder]

Champagne is only made in france, others are only sparkling wines..

[@reservoirkitty1]

Anyone know why this channel and banijay dont seem to upload episodes from seasons 2-4? Its only season 1 or like 5+

[@AdeptusCaeiusIII]

Upload schedules. Some episodes seem to not have functioning audio. Some had playback errors. Sounds to me like they've got editing staff working hard at fixing some of the issues.

[@gustavfn1]

Who cleans up?

[@saralexi1420]

Whoever it is, they're not getting paid enough.

[@S4murai_Screwed]

BOMBS?

[@marklivesay1226]

First comment!

[@ICEMAN1024]

Congratulations 🎉

[@Shorts__Facts]

3rd

[@pakuma3]

Banijay already uploaded this one

[@alexwainwright3592]

And ?

[@ichiroutakashima4503]

Doesn't really matter. This channel is actually the sub channel for such content from Banijay. Some cannot access videos on Banijay due to geographic restrictions and this channel allow viewers to have access on that.

[@AdeptusCaeiusIII]

@@ichiroutakashima4503 I think they're pre-releasing some of them on Banijay, and then fully releasing them here. That, and they have the editing staff putting in work on the audio issues some of these videos have.
