YOU Can Launch My Rocket!

[@xylafoxlin]

BUILD YOUR OWN ROCKET!: shop.xylafoxlin.com/pages/miss-fire-rocket-kit Honestly, this has been such a huge passion project for me over the last year-- I don't think I'll ever make back the money I invested in developing the kit but I really do believe it is the best introductory kit to High Powered Rocketry out there now. Enjoy and please please please tag me in your builds so i can see everyone's rockets and launches!! ❤🚀

[@64t120r]

Please tell your friend congratulations. Nice kit, build, and launch, plus recovery.

[@Kaboom-0623]

a new kit addon .... make the other certification motor sections for this rocket ...and devise a way to swap them .... then they can certify everything on your rocket kit and yes pink rockets go faster .... it's a guy thing

[@NielsNL68]

That is less expansive then i expected.

Congratulation on your new product. Make sure you have all the *Civil Liability* insurance for your endeavour. Still a somewhat risky product in the hand of an average Joe.

[@gaveintothedarkness]

THIS has to be one of the most bad ass youtuber product to ever exist. *Other youtubers* "here's my crappy ass branded cookies/snacks/cereal/merch *Xyla* Here's a rocket, have fun.

[@althejazzman]

It's certainly a great example of unique product that will support the rocket community. It's a great one for feminism too.

[@Cre8sumthing]

[@TotalBoat]

We are beyond stoked to collab with ya, Xyla, on this kit! We are so excited to watch everyone build their own rocket 🙌🙌

[@OneIdeaTooMany]

such a great idea to make a kit that includes everything you need to get the job done. For people who might only do this once, having a kit makes the whole thing more appealing.

[@bryanandhallie]

[@rthomp03]

$250 combined for both kits is actually a great deal. I was expecting them to be much more expensive. Thanks for creating the kits and helping to make rocketry more accessible.

[@xylafoxlin]

Thank you so much! And people should be able to really get their moneys worth by doing L1 and L2 and lots and lots of fun flights on them :)

[@NielsNL68]

I was just saying the same thing before i saw your message.

[@chrissmalley83]

I know nothing of rocketry or how much a kit like this should cost. Despite having no real desire to get into rocketry, I clicked the link out of curiosity, and was surprised at how affordable it was. All of my hobbies cost more... Perhaps I _should_ get into model rocketry.

[@davidburnette8781]

Watching this i was guessing $500-800. Only $250, thats crazy!!

[@neutronium9542]

@@chrissmalley83 They get you on the price of the motors. Prices have gone up a ton recently, a low end L2 J motor will come in at around $100 from most vendors. If you know where to look, and what vendors to patronize, you can do better, but that's not necessarily viable for beginners.

[@dcltdw]

Never occurred to me that rocketry could be so accessible (I mean, okay, $250 is not stupidly cheap, but then again, not stupidly expensive). Go you for making it easier for people who come after you -- well done!

[@JayWye52]

check out the cost of rocket motors. that gets expensive. and it flashes by SO quickly. Whoosh,there goes a bunch of money.

[@vaalrus]

When I think of how much I spent in 1978 money on tiny kits and motors, $250 seems a botal targain.

[@Jim-fe2xz]

In 1961 I was in junior high school and read an article about rocketry. They were using zinc dust and sulfur as propellant so I found a hobby store where I could buy the chemicals & made rockets out of some small diameter aluminum tube my dad had. I sealed the noze with epoxy and epoxied fins and guide loops cut from cat food can lids to the body which was about 4" long. We launched several but could never see where they went (too fast & too small). Years later the neighbors cleaned out some ivy and found most of them. My dad worked at a missiles and space division and had one on his desk LOL. Shortly after I found a company where I could mail order parts and motors (Centuri as I remember) and talked the 9th grade science teacher into letting me shoot one off on the sports field. Great times a long time ago!

[@JayWye52]

At the time,you folks were regarded as "basement bombers", because making your own propellants and motors generally resulted in loss of body parts. Completely against model rocketry rules at the time. Now the sanctioning bodies have "amateur" launches where you can launch such homemade rocket motors safely.

[@Butterflier00]

it's better than what Hommer Hickam Jr did. bro's first rocket was apparently an old flashlight body with whatever powder was in Cherry Bombs.

[@fatherwilliam7256]

Ordered. I haven't built a rocket since I went space camp. I used to build them all the time. Thank you. Sincerely, thank you for reminding me.

[@boulderboyv10]

My senior cat is obsessed with this video. She was most annoyed when it ended and complained until I played it again. She apparently enjoys rocketry and kept nosing the screen whenever there was a launch. I don't think I should get her her own kit though.

[@arturonoriega7560]

[@teslawells1693]

This video was so informative! Its barely an ad for a product, its like 95% explaining an intro to rocketry video. Love the dedication to onboarding people first

[@TotalBoat]

Do it! Do it!

[@patchvonbraun]

This vid gives me a bit of nostalgia. I used to fly HPR over 20 years ago. I even started my own hybrid rocket motor company--Propulsion Polymers. But like many small aerospace companies, I couldn't make any money at it, so, I shut it down. My most memorable flight was a minimum-diameter flight, on one of my own I-80 motors. It burned forever, and allowed me to set the Canadian 'I' altitude record at the time--8120ft. That record was taken away from me a few months later by one of my HPR friends at the time. I made a last minute decision to fly it with a tracking beacon. Which was a good decision, because it drifted a fair amount, and took me two hours to find it, even with the tracking beacon! Love your rocket projects, and I've been watching Joe develop his craft as well. Fun!

[@gibberishname]

Space theme dress on the rocket video. I see what you did there. This is why Xyla is the most FASHIONABLE engineer on KZbin

[@xylafoxlin]

HONORED THANK YOU!!!

[@therougechipmunk8058]

First time hearing about you, no clue who you are but I'm a grown adult. And when I see I can buy and build my own rocket to shoot off, all I need to know is where do I buy it. This is a childhood dream of mine.

[@zippythinginvention]

Xyla is amazing. You should go back and watch her send her crown into space to find out more about who she is.

[@audreyObscura]

👏👏👏👏 Seriously so impressive that you *launched* this kit for us to learn from! So excited to keep growing my STEAM skillset with this and slowly work toward certifying! WOO HOO! 🚀

Sweet! I hope current and future generations get to enjoy these for years to come!

[@manythingslefttobuild]

That's a sweet kit Xyla, I hope people build a lot of fun rockets using it. Congratulations Caeley!

[@ronsimpson143]

Congrats on the kit. I love how excited you get over it. My grandfather was an engineer for NASA during the space race. He was a structural engineer. He was one of the people who designed the structure that held down the rockets during testing. It is at the Stennis Space Center. One of these days, I want to go see it in person.

[@SmokinJoesAdventuring]

I love your enthusiasm and how you express yourself to viewers. Here's hoping your rocketry kits draw new builders and prospective rocket enthusiasts. Keep up the good work and being a positive example to young people and others.

[@boomermatic6035]

wow, it's been a few years since I was building and launching model rockets, good to see people are still doing it. I break out the 1977 Estes catalog every now and then to walk down memory lane.

[@TheSportFlyer-xy6sn]

Every time I start a new hobby, Xyla has done it first. And better (private pilot as of 2003, working towards my level 1 Tripoli cert this winter). And I always wanted to have a taildragger rating. And on and on.

[@909fishing3]

The whole time watching this, I was calculating what a fair price would be, and this rocket build kit hit the exact amount. I'm very we'll go with a frugal person so for me to say it is fair, then you can believe it is worth it. Hopefully, the kits are around when I recover from Christmas, so I can buy one.

[@xylafoxlin]

Ah I am so glad! You have a few more days to have them arrive before christmas too!

[@garrettyamada9821]

I think that I will need to buy more than one of your kits. I have been building and launching rockets for more than a couple of decades, and have seen how the sport/hobby has evolved over the years. At least you live on the Continental United States, so you have lots of wide open spaces. I live waaaaay over here in Hawaii, and, we are quite limited altitude wise, because we simply don't have much wide open spaces. Going to the mainland and meeting up with some people that have experience in high power rocketry is definitely on my bucket list. Much aloha to you from waaaaay over here in Hawaii.

[@FlyBy2507]

In Europe, it's simply forbidden. 🤬

[@causewaykayak]

In the uk there's military ranges for bona fides developers - up on the scottish borders i think. Our nanny state is always worried that the kids start building Stinger missiles and getting aggressive.

[@williamstrachan]

@@causewaykayak that is 100% bullshit. UKRA exists, as do rocketry clubs, and the CAA has recognised model rockets as users of airspace and have included them in their regulations.

[@causewaykayak]

Try reading again. There are authorised ranges FOR BONA FIDES developers. Wildcat experimenting is not allowed - The cops just did a collection of energetics on behalf of RYA/MCA. I had materials for safe disposal. Attending officers were quite clear that this was in part to reduce opportunities for local freelancers. That was in June, you can verify the collection with PSNI at Belfast. Our local political resistance / paras always looked fondly on owning something to shoot at British helicopters and were always hopeful of Libyan imports. That's on public record - - general knowledge really. So before you cry BS maybe you should ease off on the hair trigger and read more carefully.

[@JayWye52]

don't forget,the rocket motor costs from $55 to $103 for each shot,that's for a disposable motor. for a reloadable motor,there's more investment in the motor casing,then you get to buy reload kits for each launch. Xyla's very nice 3.1" diameter rocket uses H,I or J 38mm motors. I did LOTS of Estes rockets as a kid,then saw a High Power Rockety magazine in a bookstore,and decided to try Large Model Rocketry,rockets weighing up to 3.3 lbs,IIRC,and limited to G motors. I got lucky and Aerotech gave me a free 24 mm reloadable casing,I bought a 29mm RMS case. the first LMR I built would have worked to qualify me for Level 1,but I flew it on a G-64 motor. Twice. I still have my rockets. I actually had more fun building the rockets than flying them. back then,it was $5 a shot,now it's at least $35. Expensive hobby. AND,you have to fly with a club that has launchers,a sufficient field, and the FAA permissions,unless you happen to own your own sod farm. I even made and flew a "cruise missile" rocket, 3-sided for "stealth". All my rockets were scratch-made,no purchased body parts.
