What emoji makes the best rocket?

I made and launched seven rocket emojis to find out why the rockets we see in social media don't look anything like those that actually go to space. This has got to be my coolest video yet!

Featuring an all-stars lineup of Facebook, Twitter, Google, Apple, Microsoft, WhatsApp, and Mozilla with a bonus launch at the end.

Download files for all the rockets are available on the Patreon. I'll also be randomly sending out the remaining six actual rockets to commenters, new subscribers, and some of the patrons.

Wow!!! It actually worked!!! This is the most fun I've had working on a video. As mentioned, if you'd like one of the actual 3D printed rocket emojis then I'm randomly sending them out to new subscribers and anyone who comments. Cheers - James

Up next: Which typeface's capital "I" makes the best I-beam?

"It's the one most likely to cra" that was excellent!

[Anne-idzt]

Never asked myself that question but glad to know the answer.

I saw the run time and thought ah I’ll just skip to the end to watch which one won but the 18 minutes rocketed by, absolutely brilliant. Not only a very unique idea but the whole video with practical demos, explanations & gags (Microsoft one was superb) was brilliant. Cracking video eh Gromit?

13:18 I was actually worried 😂
Didn't like the idea of restaring in the middle of an engaging video.

This is genuinely THE most interesting topic I've seen in a youtube video in a while :D keep it up! I'd love to win one of those, or even get the SLT files to print my own :D

3:53 For Americans, that is about 21 times the dive speed of a Bald Eagle.

[SmegEdmoOn]

Great pitch, great memes, great props, oodles of enthusiasm (and golden syrup), absolute quality video

This one made me laugh more than anything else today, you have a really cool channel and I hope that someday it gets the recognition it deserves.

This is the best idea for a YouTube video. 10/10

The production value is so high! Great job, awesome video.

I love how random, yet relevant, some of your transitions can be. Was very confused as to why you were making pancakes, and then it all made sense with the measuring cylinder

[aishiteirutoittekure]

Excellent work! The drag numbers actually feed back into the aerodynamic stability you talked about earlier-- the highest drag ones are the ones with the biggest fins, which helped keep them straighter for longer. I'm pretty sure that's why you saw the result with high-drag rockets going higher.

I'm glad Tom Scott shouted you out, cause you always make interesting videos

[pm]

So glad Tom Scott got me to subscribe to this channel. Keep it up

[BillyKona]

Always love the hands on labs and examples you provide. Taking questions of "well, how does this part work?" And then answering them with a simple demonstration will always be something I think makes your channel so unique.

Sad to see Mozilla fail :(
Also, that "crash" joke freaked me out a little bit.
