What would you name Stoke Space's new engine if you could? Write your suggestion in the comments below!

Arianespace really made their bed a decade ago when they underplayed SpaceX and opted not to develop reusable rockets. They're truly living the nightmare scenario they thought would never happen.

I worked on construction for the Comance Peak Nuclear Reactors in Texas in the 1980s. There are two containment buildings, each taller than the US Capitol dome (288 feet (88 meters). There were two cranes at the construction site, each capable of raising and lowering loads to the top of the domes. One afternoon, a storm front appeared with wind gusts up to 50 mph. There was an order to lower the cranes to ground level, but the operators of one of the cranes rushed to get 'one more load' before lowering the cranes. The winds caught the cranes and sent it crashing to the ground. Unfortunately several buildings housing engineers and construction personnel were under the landing area. Several buildings were crushed under the mass of the crane. Several people were crushed and died as a result. ALWAYS lower extremely tall cranes when violent storms approach. A few years ago a relatively small crane on a building under construction collapsed in Dallas killing several people in an adjacent apartment complex. The nature of the ground in the area is a nonfactor. High winds and cranes do NOT interact well. Relatively simple physics.

I'm just so excited! First, I really want to thank you Felix and the entire WAI team; I have been watching your videos since last summer, and you have always kept me updated and curious. It is to the point where I understood exactly what a closed-cycle-engine was before the words left your mouth! I owe you a lot which is why I recently became a channel member, and yet I still I can't give you as much as I owe you, so I must thank you for your generousity on giving the same subscriber content to everyone! I hope to support you more in the future, and I hope to see the same quality content for years to come! And thanks for covering stoke space!

I'd call the Stokes space engine Navier. As in the Navier Stokes equation which describes fluid flow.

Love the “shot out of the flamey end “ 😂

[gillescharvet]

thanks for the speach on Ariane regarding the competition :)

[VistokDB]

You know its a good day when WAI uploads

Regarding Ariane's "dual-payload" capability, there's a catch when you compare it to Falcon Heavy... and that's that A9 payload to GTO is only about twice that of Falcon 9 (~11 tonnes vs ~5 tonnes).

So if you're launching two satellites at once, at least one of them — and possibly both — are light enough to fly on Falcon 9 for *much* less cost, even if it takes two launches. And that's been a problem for Arianespace since F9 started flying... they may have the ability to launch two satellites on one rocket, but they didn't actually have many secondary payloads to launch, because SpaceX was gobbling up that part of the market.

Word of the day. " Hurrikin".

[Cilexius]

I think Stoke is onto something with their new design, because it also solves the heat shield issue. I mean no tiles, that is a good thing. Every tile on starship is a probability for failure. Since stokes design makes the cooling part of the engine and heat shielding, that’s very smart. Let’s see if their design works out. Imagine a starship with this design 🤔

8:32 - "NaC1" (N-a-C-one)? Salt would be sodium chloride - NaCl (N-a-C-el).

[UBH-asdf]

I find it amusing that if you zoom all the way in on MyRadar over star base, the only thing that is visible is a marking for “starhopper”

[NickBittrich]

Whoa! You guys really brought it up a notch, awesome show!

[Vadertoothless]

Nice to see more news Felix. You give me something to look forwards to. Thank you

[johno]

Rocket name.... behemoth sounds great it's massive powerful and awesome to watch it fire

[ricchamen]

Thanks Felix and your crew for a as usual. Great show. Good info. Nice flow.

[faisalsvideoworld]

the ariane 6 seems like a interesting rocket for companies that want to launch payloads in different orbits on on one launch and glad to see it launched always good to see new rockets.

The west side of the huricane is the side away from the surf build up. SpaceX was never really in danger once it was determine to pass north to Boca Chia.

12:22 I don't really think you can say that the "full flow staged combustion engine" and "closed cycle engine" are the same. Of course a full flow staged combustion engine is an closed cycle engine like every square is a rectangle but they are not the same. A lot of closed cycle engines have been in use for many years, like RS-25 in Space Shuttle, but there wasn't any full flow staged cumbusiton in use yet (SpaceX is still testing).

The main difference between full flow staged combusion and "oridinary" closed cycle engine is, in full flow staged combustion engine the oxidizer and fuel enter the main combustion chamber in gaseous form while in an "ordinary" closed cycle engine one of them (oxidizer or fuel) is still in liquid form.

But I would like to say, your descirption of how rocket engine work is pretty good, and suggest to everyone intrested how rocket engines work to check @EverydayAstronaut Youtube channel.
