What emoji makes the best rocket?

[@AtomicFrontier]

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

"i'm also wearing safety glasses" simpson's radioactive man: "my eyes! the goggles do nothing!" :-)

[@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.

[@TommyR2443]

I'm glad Tom Scott shouted you out, cause you always make interesting videos

[@BlueBino_]

Which video did he do this on?

[@BillyKona6676]

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.

[@palp1880]

you know things are serious when the physicists are wearing safety goggles. labmates you know who you are.

[@jaredgoodman6617]

Sad to see Mozilla fail :( Also, that "crash" joke freaked me out a little bit.

[@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! 👏

[@CathodeRayKobold]

"Unlike the Earth, which is a triangle." Ah yes, my favorite approach to massive arguments: Disagree with everyone.

[@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!!

[@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.

[@user-fp6dt1os1l]

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.

[@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)

[@ExplodingWaffle101]

[@Andrew-jh2bn]

4:30 A small nitpick, yes the most efficient engine has the same exhaust pressure as the air around it, but for a rocket going to space that ranges from 1 to 0 bar during flight, so they picked a value in the middle for better efficiency.

Just wanted to add, in case someone wanted to replicate your results, that when doing the drag test in a highly viscous substance, you need to make sure your container is much larger than the object you're trying to test. If you don't do this, you'll get boundary effects which will affect your measurements. 😀
