Instead of steerable fins (that impart a rotation) how about 4 trim tabs perhaps 1cm wide and 2 cm high mounted, top hinged (maybe cut into) the fuselage and mounted between the now fixed fins? Individually controlled. Pushing the lower edge of one tab into the airflow would push the engine end sideways without imparting rotation.
I especially like the part where you finally realize you're trying to make a precision guided missile, and the acknowledgment that those who know.... Literally cannot help you.
I doubt it if it is on the front page of YT, (or on YT at all). Since YT came out, it looks to be the results that our IQ as a society is dropping,---and I understand it is.
As a former space operations officer in the US Air Force, I LOVE everything about this video. As a musician I have to ask: what bass guitars does Adam Steltzner have along the wall behind him??!! Seriously, the idea that he could land a spacecraft on Mars and then go play a show that night brings me so much joy!
I myself am in the space industry and I know personally what it’s like to fail, and I loved how you kept going even if you failed and persevered throughout the whole journey. Thanks for being an inspiration to all future engineers and current ones.
@DarkCoreX Oh wow really? Gosh I didn't know that.. Honestly, I can't believe I have to explain to you what words mean. I said his videos are lucrative, which is an English term for money making. If you are making money doing something then that is the definition of a job.
I really appreciated the way you talked about the failures. Specifically the big one, the interface between the systems... Feeling like a failure defines you is crippling and you showed the healthy way of coping with and framing failure as an opportunity for growth. That's huge. Thanks for the mental health awareness and just real human feelings you bring to your videos.
Sorry to say I think another chicken was the first to lay an egg to go faster than the speed of sound. Concorde served English breakfast which almost certainly would have eggs. 😂 love your videos by the way, I’m an engineer also and learn loads from you! Thanks
No engineering background whatsoever, but I strangely thought about what might happen if the ropes got tangled as they spun around each other during take off. In any case, very cool video! Congratulations on successfully landing both eggs safely!! Amazing!
Your video's always tell a great story while also being super informative and really show that one bit of failure is just another learning step in the proces of building something epic.
I was really hoping that the end of the video would be the bunch of you enjoying a few bites each of an omelette made from the dropped eggs and quite literally savouring your achievement.
There's no way to appreciate the time and effort required that goes into this. But nevertheless, when I see vids like this, especially from Mark, I'm completely glued to the screen and very grateful for all the work done and money well-spent. Thanks so much dude, to you and your team for your absolute TENACITY after crushing failures. You're such a blessing to the rest of us screen goons. LOVE THIS!
My specialty is firearms but I feel for the expert here. How many times has someone come to me with some “great idea” and then I go “that’s at least ten years in prison”
This is literally inspiring. Failing and continuing to go is the absolute definition of an engineer. My goal is to be a Software Engineer. I have a learning disability. It makes school extremely difficult. I have failed constantly but won’t give up
That section with Adam was hilarious, the way he pointed out that you were making a guided missile made me laugh!! So cool to be able to call someone like that too
@Gun Catto They were trying to make something that can accurately deliver a payload to a specific area. If you replace the egg with a warhead, you have a “DIY” precision-guided missile.
What I love is the way you do hilarious videos and spend so much time without giving up. The builds are adorable, and your videos on making them brighten 23 million people's days. I also love the way you can pivot when a problem comes up, and your creative ways of solving them. Go Mark!
Altitude reached was 100,100 feet (18.95 miles/ 30.51 kilometers). Congrats Mark : ) Since technically Outer Space actually begins at the Kármán line at 328,084 feet (62 miles / 100 kilometers), will you ever do a part 2 or another Space Drop Video? I just love these videos (BTW it doesn't have to be an egg).
I am watching this video 3 months later, from Mexico, although I am Colombian, and I love how the simple idea of protecting an egg from falling out of space can contain so many ideas together. I am a Mechatronics engineer and I would love not only to make a video together with your support to replicate this experiment in Colombia, but also to talk about the business idea of replicating the "CrunchLabs Build Box" and translating it for distribution in Latin America. If you are interested please do not hesitate to contact me.
I absolutely love how you bring childlike excitement and wonderment to such a wonderful experiment. It definitely reminds me when I tried to make a parachute for my GI Joe that I threw off the roof of my house over 45 years ago. However, I must say that ol’ Joe didn’t get a very comfortable landing as your eggs did. But it didn’t matter, what mattered was that I tried and all the excitement built up just for that one simple test. Of course it was the only test I got to do because my Mom wasn’t as enthused about me being on the roof of the house 30’ in the air:) Totally worth it!!!
Apart from the funny spin by your friend from NASA about guided missiles ;) I really had the feeling you have a great deal of awesome and impressive people supporting you and I want to honor them too! Great job Mark and everybody else!
I think the best part of this whole video is how many times the project failed. That really shows just how much perseverance and dedication Mark has to these things.
That's awesome you accomplished it Mark & team :) And pretty cool you could talk with one of the leads at NASA on the project you worked on. I'm sure he could remind you of some things you may have been exposed to and now got a chance to dive deeper into those concepts & apply them :) Very cool~
In my class, back in the 80s, they had us design an egg drop with a coffee can. I filled it with water and called it a day. The teacher told my parents I wasn’t putting in the effort. Then the day of the egg drop, the only eggs that survived were ones with parachutes (which was technically against the rules), and my can of water. 🤣
Also, just curious about when you said, " this is a hot egg." Did you check to see if it was still fully uncooked? Does the experiment count if the egg gets "hard boiled"?
I love your vids Mark I hope your life goes perfect thank you for telling us important lessons and thank you for building a cool toys for kids just to be like you
There's a company near me in UK who does things like this and offers the service to the general public. I saw them drop a plushie from space and dropped it back to Earth and retrieved it and know they've done other things as well, not sure if they can get the object sent to space to land at a specific area though.
Except by everyone who advanced our knowledge of the universe and took us to the next level. I’d say he’s on par with them. There are thousands every day with this level of dedication making society function, without them, we wouldn’t be on KZclip watching this or having the level of comfort we know. It’s kind of the flaw of our society with how we are quick to celebrate just one person while there are many others putting in the same time and work that get no celebration. I mean this one build is a great example of how this could not have been pulled off with just Mark, and that’s fine because to advance and do great things, we need each other. I do get your point as Mark is in the upper percentile of people doing great things and dedicated to it. I sure wish this type of thing was around in my formative years as a child.
As one that has launched weather balloons with various Amateur Radio devices attached, watching your various emotional ups and downs, brought back fond memories, and the adrenalin rushes one gets from anticipating the unknown ! Congratulations ! So cool ! Appreciate your work, and thinking outside the box ! Been there, done that !! ⚪ I 🙄
@Gus Sharples Sphere of influence and atmospheres are very different. What you're saying applies to the sun, which has an atmosphere that covers the solar system (memory could be hazy) and a SOI that effects neighboring systems. As far as I know Earth's magnetic field doesn't reach the moon, the Sun's does for at the inner planets (again memory hazy).
@riot Leaving the atmosphere requires reaching escape velocity, the only things on Earth with enough propulsion to do so are space rockets and some major volcanic eruptions. Orbit is essentially moving so fast you miss the ground, gas can't move that fast naturally. They "float" in the atmosphere by their weight then are pulled down by gravity.
In life things rarely unfold how we think they will but by learning from your failures, coupled with a bit of tenacity us humans can accomplish a feat as incredible as the world's smartest martian robot or as ridiculous as the world's tallest egg drop -Mark Rober
Funny enough, those parachute tests in worlds largest wind tunnel (80 by 120 ft) at NASA Ames, actually had torn off couple of wall panels, which ended up in the fan breaking it.. It was still under maintenance during my internship there in 2018. But the shear scale of the test chamber is absolutely mind boggling.
Its amazing that in the world where people revolve around 30 second videos 30 million of them are watching a video over 30 mins. Respect to the content.
Although those orbital kinetic weapons get much of their energy from the orbital velocity they travel at, as if it was just dropped from a balloon from the stratosphere it wouldn’t hit the ground any harder than it would at a couple thousand feet.
Literally went to college to be an engineer because of your videos. Stuff like this is amazing and so cool that you can get so many people involved in these types of videos.
You just demonstrated every engineering process perfectly! Understand the challenge, and find a solution, even with retries. And, you just invalidated all egg drop competitions and colleges around the globe now have to find a new competition! ;-)
@Mark Rober dropping an egg from space isn’t that impressive, me and my buddies did that back in the summer of ‘89 and we got made fun of for doing something that had already stopped being a relevant trend
Mundane -- lacking interest or excitement; dull. -- Um you can say a lot about Rober. But mundane? Me thinks someone was trying to use big smart words but got a bit confused.
@Mark Rober gave me a spaceship baby and all I have to do is drop that egg on some grass. The secret to beating the record is to go outside and touch grass.
I have recently seen a video of two guys dropping eggs onto grass with drones. The eggs were dropped with nothing attached and when dropped on grass, they didn’t break. I think they went as high as 300 feet? I was curious on your thoughts on this and wondered what the height would have to be to break the egg. I don’t remember if they hit terminal velocity, but I thought the correlation between these two videos were interesting. Love the videos.
The Most Phenomenal thing about this is that this didnt feel like a youtube video, it felt like it was a documentary about a mission with such a high hill to overcome it felt impossible.
This one was a wild ride. Now go get your dang Build Box in time for Christmas and let's make some cool stuff together. crunchlabs.com
You are the best dude keep up the amazing work! 👍👍👍
heck yeah!
Instead of steerable fins (that impart a rotation) how about 4 trim tabs perhaps 1cm wide and 2 cm high mounted, top hinged (maybe cut into) the fuselage and mounted between the now fixed fins? Individually controlled. Pushing the lower edge of one tab into the airflow would push the engine end sideways without imparting rotation.
kinda keen. 5 million views in less than 10 hours wow.
I especially like the part where you finally realize you're trying to make a precision guided missile, and the acknowledgment that those who know.... Literally cannot help you.
@Trent Hamsley you only have two videos
@Trent Hamsley prove it.
@Trent Hamsley no ur not
@Trent Hamsley bot
💀
This is highly educational!👍👍👍🐜🐜🐜
@Morgan explain your argument
Educational ?
Ha ha ha ha
@VermillionCap it’s red, like ants
@Your average softmodder its red like ants
I doubt it if it is on the front page of YT, (or on YT at all). Since YT came out, it looks to be the results that our IQ as a society is dropping,---and I understand it is.
Mark is the only guy who accidentally make a guided missle
this sounds like a title for a @Mrgreen video lol
@AL he did though
@Malaika Kiondo .
he didnt though
😂❤
As a former alien, I have to admit I love this video, keep it up
Only in ohio😅
detroit: become human. or something idk
FORMER???
I love that you spent three years on this and built a rocket, but ultimately the beachball and packing peanuts worked just as well
That's just engineering, baby!
As a former space operations officer in the US Air Force, I LOVE everything about this video. As a musician I have to ask: what bass guitars does Adam Steltzner have along the wall behind him??!! Seriously, the idea that he could land a spacecraft on Mars and then go play a show that night brings me so much joy!
@theyeswecans what is the so-called NISAR mission, can you elaborate?
The Earth is very much round - though it bulges at the equator. 🙃
Is it flat or round?
I myself am in the space industry and I know personally what it’s like to fail, and I loved how you kept going even if you failed and persevered throughout the whole journey. Thanks for being an inspiration to all future engineers and current ones.
Is there any abandoned space ships out there...I'm a guy from the direction department...I'm just asking it for my future script❤️
Led me to think
How do y'all not realize this kid is capping
bro could you propose that idea to your team
Send me anywhere
I love how he takes the simplest things and makes them extreme
@JakePlayz hasnt watched all of mark's videos, eh?
He's the Mr Beast of engineering. He's one of my fave you tubers
@Steve Yeah. Thats the sad truth of having mark rober as your father. Your embarresed and he doesnt care about you.
@DarkCoreX Oh wow really? Gosh I didn't know that.. Honestly, I can't believe I have to explain to you what words mean. I said his videos are lucrative, which is an English term for money making. If you are making money doing something then that is the definition of a job.
@Steve KZclip is his job I believe.
I really appreciated the way you talked about the failures. Specifically the big one, the interface between the systems... Feeling like a failure defines you is crippling and you showed the healthy way of coping with and framing failure as an opportunity for growth. That's huge. Thanks for the mental health awareness and just real human feelings you bring to your videos.
Sorry to say I think another chicken was the first to lay an egg to go faster than the speed of sound. Concorde served English breakfast which almost certainly would have eggs. 😂 love your videos by the way, I’m an engineer also and learn loads from you! Thanks
Yes, but the ones served as breakfast didn't make it through intact!
Can we just take our time to acknowledge the egg and mama chicken for making this video even possible
No way! So cool to see Joe in this video, was not expecting that!
:0
faded
AYYYY ALAN!!!
@blur *a m o g u s*
where are you now…? (im referencing faded i swear im not trying to stalk him)
No engineering background whatsoever, but I strangely thought about what might happen if the ropes got tangled as they spun around each other during take off. In any case, very cool video! Congratulations on successfully landing both eggs safely!! Amazing!
The non-engineer-background was probably why you thought of that ;-)
Love how there was literally eggs without chickens sitting on them in the cube next door you could have just grabbed.
Your video's always tell a great story while also being super informative and really show that one bit of failure is just another learning step in the proces of building something epic.
I was really hoping that the end of the video would be the bunch of you enjoying a few bites each of an omelette made from the dropped eggs and quite literally savouring your achievement.
I love you calling the expert:
“Dude can you help us with this silly egg thing?”
“Um you’re trying to make a guided missile so no”
🤣
Nah fam. Just dropping an egg. Trust me bro.
@grimsdespise it was visible, they censored it sometime within 24h of release.
@-.- would he put a phone number in a shot without some tape (that wont destroy the paper)?
@Bo Chapman what technology, guided missiles exist since 1943 (the v2) and the scud (1960s tech) Is the most copied guided missile in the world
If all else had failed, you would have made perhaps the most engineered Easter Egg Hunt to ever exist.
There's no way to appreciate the time and effort required that goes into this. But nevertheless, when I see vids like this, especially from Mark, I'm completely glued to the screen and very grateful for all the work done and money well-spent. Thanks so much dude, to you and your team for your absolute TENACITY after crushing failures. You're such a blessing to the rest of us screen goons. LOVE THIS!
3 Years. Wow! The dedication he put into this 30 minute video is insane! Thanks Mark.
Just imagine the efforts he put in this single video so hardworking of a persin you are Mark..loved it.
Very cool. I absolutely love your passion and energy along with your disire to teach. You make this stuff so much fun.
My specialty is firearms but I feel for the expert here. How many times has someone come to me with some “great idea” and then I go “that’s at least ten years in prison”
@Sean O'Hara well regulated means (meant) well trained. Not regulated by law.
i doubt its actually your specialty
@iowa_don Do you ever see gatling gun crimes in the news?
@Wesley The Anonymous Yeah, that is the very definition of "fun".
@iowa_don Fun fact- You can legally own and make your own gatling gun. An actual one, not a crank added to an AR-15.
This is literally inspiring. Failing and continuing to go is the absolute definition of an engineer.
My goal is to be a Software Engineer. I have a learning disability. It makes school extremely difficult. I have failed constantly but won’t give up
I love seeing his pure passion for science. So inspiring.
This is a very entertaining and educational video. I wonder how much $ the entire process costed.
Not only educational, but this was a great story! Great video!
What I got from this whole thing is.....Never Give Up!!!
You only fail if you give up. Very inspiring video 👏🎉
That section with Adam was hilarious, the way he pointed out that you were making a guided missile made me laugh!! So cool to be able to call someone like that too

@Gun Catto They were trying to make something that can accurately deliver a payload to a specific area. If you replace the egg with a warhead, you have a “DIY” precision-guided missile.

Wow. I appreciate you and your entire team's hard work and dedication. It doesn't go unnoticed or unappreciated!
This was freaking awesome. Made me a fan 😂
And wait, why am I crying?? (Twice)
lol
Thank you for the epic journey you took us on.
Your videos are always so entertaining but this one is actually inspiring. The world is a better place with you in it.

Yes, also a great team working on his side.
like the rover?
thrice
Yes! Perseverance and money! 💸💰💰💸 😂😎
I think it's great that this almost turned into a guided missile vid. Idk if you realized that your store sells a diy claymore for kids too
That's awesome you accomplished it Mark & team :) And pretty cool you could talk with one of the leads at NASA on the project you worked on. I'm sure he could remind you of some things you may have been exposed to and now got a chance to dive deeper into those concepts & apply them :) Very cool~
In my class, back in the 80s, they had us design an egg drop with a coffee can. I filled it with water and called it a day.
The teacher told my parents I wasn’t putting in the effort. Then the day of the egg drop, the only eggs that survived were ones with parachutes (which was technically against the rules), and my can of water. 🤣
Also, just curious about when you said, " this is a hot egg." Did you check to see if it was still fully uncooked? Does the experiment count if the egg gets "hard boiled"?
This is a very inspirational video for engineering undergraduates. I immensely thank full to Mark
Marks video here is a perfect example of "you don't lose, you learn"
... and if you can afford it, try again.
Hello
I'm glad he included footage of his disappointment and frustration.
You lose but you learned. You don't want to lose something? then you will never learn.
trueee
The jumping the birds scene was AMAZING!! You rock dude.
I really enjoyed that! Great idea.... I'd like to see more and varied balloon space missions actually.... 😎
These videos make me proud of being an engineer
Imagine beeing a pilot cruising at 36.000 ft. when suddenly an egg drops onto the windshield of your plane
Congratulations. Always enjoy your videos.
The precision guided missile part was the icing on the cake lol
What is the song at 23:55
How is it more illegal than a drone returning to it's home GPS co-ordinates? Not like it's being fired from miles away at a target.
@Paul George fair enough, but that even further proves the point that mark didn't do anything wrong and monetized it
@FluffyDreg it was not stated how that’s illegal. He said it would have questionable ethics.
@Sabrina Kingsley he said it was unethical…. Not illegal
This goes to show that integrated and end to end testing is important and engineers are notorious for ignoring this.
I love your vids Mark I hope your life goes perfect thank you for telling us important lessons and thank you for building a cool toys for kids just to be like you
There's a company near me in UK who does things like this and offers the service to the general public. I saw them drop a plushie from space and dropped it back to Earth and retrieved it and know they've done other things as well, not sure if they can get the object sent to space to land at a specific area though.
The dedication of the team and the production of this content is amazing!
That egg had more purpose in it's life than i will ever have
You have to respect the fact that 3 years of work went into this experiment. Mark’s dedication to his craft is unmatched!
Yeah it's almost like having resources (time and money specifically) allows you to dedicate yourself to something.
I can't respect that they choose to call it space, when the fact is, that the egg only went a third of the way, to the defined start of space.
True I wouldn't be patient enough lol 😂😂😂
@John Possum you don’t have to fish to know that.
Except by everyone who advanced our knowledge of the universe and took us to the next level. I’d say he’s on par with them. There are thousands every day with this level of dedication making society function, without them, we wouldn’t be on KZclip watching this or having the level of comfort we know.

I do get your point as Mark is in the upper percentile of people doing great things and dedicated to it. I sure wish this type of thing was around in my formative years as a child.
This video is way better than I expected it to be!!
This is so cool and silly that watching that balloon finally rise for the 4th time actually made me tear up a little lol
As one that has launched weather balloons with various Amateur Radio devices attached, watching your various emotional ups and downs, brought back fond memories, and the adrenalin rushes one gets from anticipating the unknown !
Congratulations !
So cool !
Appreciate your work, and thinking outside the box !
Been there, done that !!
⚪
I
🙄
i love how honest he is with his mistakes true accountability is really refreshing
Now Mark can deliver eggs to the mars without breaking it.
I absolutely never heard of balloons being sent to space on daily basis around the world. Thanks
apparently neither did the US military considering recent balloon events
Most countries send them up daily, but didnt know that they all launch at about the same time globally!
This guy took the chickens egg from under it then accidentally dropped it 😢
@Gus Sharples Sphere of influence and atmospheres are very different. What you're saying applies to the sun, which has an atmosphere that covers the solar system (memory could be hazy) and a SOI that effects neighboring systems.
As far as I know Earth's magnetic field doesn't reach the moon, the Sun's does for at the inner planets (again memory hazy).
@riot Leaving the atmosphere requires reaching escape velocity, the only things on Earth with enough propulsion to do so are space rockets and some major volcanic eruptions.
Orbit is essentially moving so fast you miss the ground, gas can't move that fast naturally. They "float" in the atmosphere by their weight then are pulled down by gravity.
The fact that he could drop an egg in space is epic!!
In life things rarely unfold how we think they will but by learning from your failures, coupled with a bit of tenacity us humans can accomplish a feat as incredible as the world's smartest martian robot or as ridiculous as the world's tallest egg drop
-Mark Rober
Imagine being a chicken protecting your egg, then some random guy steals it to make it become a astronaut.
Funny enough, those parachute tests in worlds largest wind tunnel (80 by 120 ft) at NASA Ames, actually had torn off couple of wall panels, which ended up in the fan breaking it.. It was still under maintenance during my internship there in 2018. But the shear scale of the test chamber is absolutely mind boggling.
Relatives : What do you do to earn ?
Mark: I drop an egg from space 😎
Love how the information Mark needed to help his “precision guided missle” was literally CLASSIFIED
@Luis Sierra i wouldnt admit that on the internet if i were you
I am the guided missle. We are barely getting warmed up. 1 year. launching
@cheggers! ah! so sorry
I mean... Egg warheads are pretty lethal
@Comedious ඞ hello sherlock
Another great video, thanks! I’m curious, you mention the egg was hot from the drop, was it still raw inside or did it cook itself?
Its amazing that in the world where people revolve around 30 second videos 30 million of them are watching a video over 30 mins. Respect to the content.
I am not a physicist at all, but this video was surprisingly intriguing to watch.
Just remember, “engineers do not make mistakes, we make revisions”.
I was amazed at those engineer's simplicity to help you out
.
It's insane to realize halfway that what they were trying to make so hard, essentially covered the basics for a Kinetic Orbital Strike weapon.
Nahh... More like... JDAM.
Yeah, but it's 2.8 inches. And most satellites can't detect it. New idea for USA government
I love this reply chain . I learned so much. TYSM guys. Don't let other people tell you its wrong to explain / correct things
Although those orbital kinetic weapons get much of their energy from the orbital velocity they travel at, as if it was just dropped from a balloon from the stratosphere it wouldn’t hit the ground any harder than it would at a couple thousand feet.
@TV the Cow House You cant reach orbit as 'orbit' is not a specific altitude. Wrong terminology.
I love how his videos are really entertaining, but he also shows lessons with his videos too.
Imagine they actually did it and posted the source code of how to make a guided missile online :)
This ss sooo cool. I love that you show your process. Engineering Rocks!
You should have make the protector which heats it enough and when it comes back hatch it, it would be a world record of its own.
The real thing is, We should never give up on our dreams and enjoy our each failure 💕
Literally went to college to be an engineer because of your videos. Stuff like this is amazing and so cool that you can get so many people involved in these types of videos.
@Kyle Wong Illogical misuse of the word literally. It is redundant given the context. I'm guessing that person is American.
i love that i actually am starting to understand some equations as well!
Noice!
@Jimmy Jango What do you mean? Their english is perfectly fine.
I really liked the build, fail, and adapt in this video, much more the life of an engineer 😀
Mark, don't ever grow up. I love your enthusiasm and I hope you never lose that! BTW congratulations on soft landing the omelet!
You just demonstrated every engineering process perfectly! Understand the challenge, and find a solution, even with retries. And, you just invalidated all egg drop competitions and colleges around the globe now have to find a new competition! ;-)
Doubt you'll ever see this but a ball bearing swivel could solve your twisting issue. We used them a lot on fishing boats to prevent line twist.
So basically Mark's specialty at NASA wasn't chicken eggs 😂
This guy has won so many obscure world records its insane
@Mark Rober dropping an egg from space isn’t that impressive, me and my buddies did that back in the summer of ‘89 and we got made fun of for doing something that had already stopped being a relevant trend
Mundane the record may sound, the steps to it are less so.
Mundane -- lacking interest or excitement; dull. -- Um you can say a lot about Rober. But mundane? Me thinks someone was trying to use big smart words but got a bit confused.
@Mark Rober gave me a spaceship baby and all I have to do is drop that egg on some grass. The secret to beating the record is to go outside and touch grass.
@Mark Rober he LIES
I have recently seen a video of two guys dropping eggs onto grass with drones. The eggs were dropped with nothing attached and when dropped on grass, they didn’t break. I think they went as high as 300 feet? I was curious on your thoughts on this and wondered what the height would have to be to break the egg. I don’t remember if they hit terminal velocity, but I thought the correlation between these two videos were interesting. Love the videos.
This was awesome. Not just science, but great life lessons. My child is 4. When he grows up, this is what I want him to do.
These videos should really be shown in every school in America to get kids excited about science.
Incredible, amazing to watch, I felt every moment alongside you all xxxxxx
I think that you should've only done the ball or the 2-part system, to avoid the rope getting pulled.
The Most Phenomenal thing about this is that this didnt feel like a youtube video, it felt like it was a documentary about a mission with such a high hill to overcome it felt impossible.

This guy teaches more science than my science teacher.
I love that he made two ways for the egg to survive, one was super engineered, the other was wrapped in bubble wrap, and they both did not crack
Who else thought at the start of the video of trying to land an egg going Mach 1 or past the SOUND BARRIER would be a little hard?
