Next year we’re doing this on Mars. Ask for the CrunchLabs Build Box for Christmas and then let’s build some cool stuff together. Get the Holiday special two FREE boxes at crunchlabs.com

You should also go subscribe to the Crunchlabs YouTube channel cause we’ve got some bangers in the pipeline- youtube.com/crunchlabs

You can check out Joe’s video that goes into some more detail about the testing here-    • Aerodynamics for Mark Rober's Record ...  

Shout out to my friends at Night Crew Labs who did all the high altitude balloon work. You can hire them too! Learn more at: www.nightcrewlabs.com


Also thanks to these folks for providing some of the music in the video:

    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/

    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.
  • 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.
  • 7:23 Imagine having this level of knowledge in your craft. That you can look at the physical process (the video) and deduce the issue from the abstract representation of that event (coding). All self-taught and executed, what a brilliant individual
  • @trottyong
    It’s a great illustration of the phrase “it’ll be fine, it works on paper.”
  • "Which was surprising because Joe had definitely run through a lot of analysis and testing before coming here. So after conducting a thorough review of the footage and firmware he was able to locate and fix a single rogue negative sign in the code that seemed to be causing all the control issues" - The perfect description of my entire engineering degree

    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”
  • 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” 🤣
  • @bagodoughnuts
    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.
  • @craftd69
    You have to respect the fact that 3 years of work went into this experiment. Mark’s dedication to his craft is unmatched!
  • @kingdavid3029
    Mark is the only guy who accidentally make a guided missle
  • @manjusihag8289
    I'm going to watch this video every time i question my dedication to complete task at hand. I thought this is kind of funny video but started rooting for them after second failure.. Happy for that egg 😊
  • My child is unfortunately stuck watching YouTube for 2-3 hours watching this channel. Now I am getting stuck too…

    Mark Rober: "We're gonna do an egg drop from space with this giant balloon!" F-22: "Haaahhhh! NO!"
  • @lieslrose612
    i'm blown away by how much effort this was...you just say "a couple months later" and it takes us three seconds to watch. i'm so amazed. props to you for all the hard work you put into this and all of your videos. they are a joy to watch.

    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.

    Es una gran video que ayuda a entender la increíble labor que se lleva acabo para lograr aterrizar en un planeta por primera vez. Vivi cada etapa con intensidad y emoción, un gran video. Que seguro llenará de motivación a futuros ingenieros ❤
