    turning on the mini lathe out in the desert is an impeccable vibe

    Valentine’s Day is for new bepis space videos

    You should really name a propellant you develop later “Mystery Goo”.
  • @IRAMightyPirate
    20:25 was worth the price of admission alone. Man, I'd love to see a series of sketchy motors being fired (safely please). That was spectacular.
  • @Lizlodude
    20:25 The fact that FAR actually told you to do that makes it so much better Apparently if the motor really wants to fly, even pointing the flamy end up won't stop it 😁
  • @AstroCharlie
    I swear I coated all three sides of that mandrel, and I know I sanded it smoother than a baby's bottom. Next time I'm gonna dip it in E236 and save us both the trouble!
  • @SteelJM1
    The dynamic static fire at 20:33 is going to be the coolest thing I've seen in 2024
  • @vast634
    20:50, good example of why its out in the desert and there are safety stands
  • @csours
    Omg that was a very dynamic static fire.
  • @zerumsum1640
    that rouge motor was awesome, if a bit scary. the fact it started by mortaring itself 30 feet in the air and still managed to fly relatively smoothly once it did get airbourne? that's just some beautiful physics.
  • @Kimballgoss
    That runaway motor made me chuckle. It just kept getting angrier and angrier!
  • @pithlyx9576
    That rogue rocket has to be the coolest and most terrifying thing i have seen in a minute
  • @jacobjones5716
    "Yep, there goes the nozzle... " - Another one of Joe's amazing one-liners😂🔥
  • @xiphosura413
    18:36 the minute I saw that spike on the graph so early on I knew something super spicy was gonna happen :) 20:30 The noises it made were just unreal. Incredible camera work too keeping up with it!
  • The surface pitting in the core might be from residual propellant dissolved in the release agent offgassing while it cures, so just letting the release flash off longer before casting, using a brush-on release, and/or curing in a pressure pot may improve that.
