WE FLEW THE KITE INCREDIBLY HIGH

[le]

Fun fact: for context on how high this kite flew, the Guinness world record for the highest kite was 4, 422 m (4.422 km) meaning that Silvki was able to fly it 1/4 of the way there from breaking the world record.

Amazing, that was Awesome. 🙆‍♂️😎👍💯
Even Elon Musk and his space x team came out to see the kite. 😂

In '76 I got my kite high as an entire roll of string. For an 11 year old, that was an accomplishment.

If you want to stabilize the kite and fly an higher heights . Attach three long tails to it, two tails on the left and right wings and one long tail in the middle. The middle tail has to be the longest while the right and left wing’s tails have to be same length. I used to build kites when i was young and that’s how I learned why it’s important to have three tails instead of only one in the middle.

That "eagle" at 7:43 looked like a krane to me.

I am shocked that your rope survived so much tension

As a Vietnamese, It is too common to fly a kite higher than 1km. in my hometown they can make flute kites with a wingspan of several meters, made of bamboo and parachute cloth, which can be replaced with nylon. And with such a structure, it will be able to withstand the wind when going up high. and I'm sure the kite like in the video can't fly higher because it's not made to fly too high, instead of flying higher it will get farther away.

Wow, I'm so proud of you guys.. Well done, but the funniest part was of Elon holding his head 😂😂😂 and his crew 🤣🤣

Me and my brother had a kite up roughly this high when we were younger, we used 4 huge spools of 50lb fishing line rolled up on a giant hand spool we had. Had no drill though, had to wind it back up by hand afterwards, and it took hours and hours to do so, had to switch back and forth for hours.

You can use color beads as a marker on your string so you wouldn't have to deal with the beat up tags on the spool. Cool project!

i love how you pointed every problem and the solution, that made me watch from 0 to the end of video. love it, thanks for sharing!

In India every small-town boy flying kites higher than you could have ever imagined

[TigaBambu-kuse]

In Bali it is customary to fly very high kites with a fairly large size. Kites with a size of 6 meters are commonplace in Bali

This is the definition of learning from your mistakes!

[mattiemathis]

Absolutely amazing! This was inspirational!

[JamesWilson-tsxk]

Haha love the SpaceX footage! Great video, I like the honestly and that you’re not afraid to share your mistakes and adjustments. This is the way. 👍💪

I remember in the 1960's when I was a boy we used to fly kites to 1500m. There were no video cameras back then but then again there were also none of the distractions that kids have today, so kite flying was very popular. Most people made their own kites.

I'm from India...in India flying kites is a tradition ...so everyone everywhere flies kite including me...i have i have flown my kite more longer than in this video ... morning i flown it and i landed it in next day ...yes it was awesome.but ur kites are different than ours...we tie a thread to kites with our hands called as soothra.

Very cool.
It's nice to see people who do need things instead of just watch TV all day. This is very awesome congratulations

Wow, this is magic, i saw many people in china letting their kites fligh very high on a spool you show in the beginning, but made of metal. still, i think you got higher with your construction.
