ALL Carbon Fiber: My Fastest, Highest, Craziest Rocket YET!

A huge thank-you to Joe, Chadams, George, Jason, Janice, Cori, Satchel, Aubrey, Luci, Nico, and Piper for coming out to the desert to support my launch. An extra huge thank you and video cred to Joe for the rail footage and tracking footage of Spite in the Mojave, and also for letting me use his garage.

Thank you Tormach for the amazing 24R CNC machine! For more info:

As a retired 74 year old aerospace technology old guy, watching this video was very satisfying on many levels. 1) seeing young people passionate about rocketry fulls my heart with joy. 2) your fabrication & build skills are next level (but you know that) - be proud anyway. 3) test, test, test, test along the way. Hmmmm . . . she is wise too.4) Great effort to be as certain as possible most of your build is recoverable and reusable. Last, at 74 I still tear up every time I watch Falcon boosters land simultaneously. Don't care what you think of da Musk man. You gotta admit that is a sight to behold. Keep up the great work Xyla.

Gotta make this comment before finishing this video. The woman clearly didn't do any research about you, cause you are more than a PR girl, you've paid dues, and something I'm proud about brought engineering more coed by being one of the positive role models. Thank you, now back to the video cause I'm excited to see Spite in action.

My daughter class had a boat racing event using different type of hulls and motors, she entered, and the boys in her class joked her hard. It was simple kit. She followed all procedures to the T. She picked the right combination and beat them all. She laughed at them as she was holding the 1st place ribbon.

The shot with everyone reacting to takeoff was awesome.

I love that you have fully committed to calling it Boatal Tote. It makes me smile every time you say it. <3

As a TRA L3, I am thoroughly impressed with the build quality and overall clear knowledge of high powered rocketry in general - amazing job! Especially when compared to some popular youtubers who bite off more than they can safely chew given their experience, your project and process was a refreshing step in the right direction in terms of youtubers showing safe and well-established build practices. Again, amazing job, I look forward to more FAR shenanigans :)

I started building Estes rockets on my 13th birthday (1965). I still have the launcher my father and I designed as an instantaneous launch option to the old Estes "wait-for-awhile" launcher. I still have the very first issue of the Saturn 1B which I built when I was 16. It's a bit dilapidated now. I'm 71 year old. Shoot for the stars!

Over 4 miles straight up!!.. and lands walking distance away !!.. that's one straight true flying rocket.

Strutting to the launch pad with a carbon fiber rocket on her shoulder with a casual hair flip is the most Xyla Spite vibe ever and I love it!

[pmatheny]

As a lifelong craftsman your skill level is remarkable and the engineering is totally amazing. I have never worked with carbon fiber so I learned some things. Great video

[nickryan]

What's amazing about all of these rocket videos, not just Xyla's, is just how professional and capable they are getting. This is all "hobbyist" technology, but it's so polished and we're seeing some amazing achievements out of it.

[DJFelixChester]

Xyla immediately doing the same pose as Spite the raccoon sticker as soon at the rocket lifted is the energy I want in my life.

"Hot glue rhymes with Mach 2" has got to be the single most terrifying phrase I've heard from an engineer and I absolutely love it

[dhwave]

"hot glue rhymes with mach 2" love it!, Awesome project, thank you for sharing!

Everything about this is as impressive as hell. That schedule was nuts, you didn't miss a milestone, and you hit your target velocity almost dead on. Amazing engineering, project management, and craftsmanship!

I don't care what you place is in life; you always will feel like a badass when walking through the desert with a rocket on your shoulder and electric guitar music playing in the background.

[josephpk]

Lesson Learned: When the people you're working with don't recognize the value that you bring and allow you to ascent to the top... build a carbon fibre rocket and use it to blow right past them. I got goosebumps on the countdown - it must've been insane to see it live.

[michaellovett]

Enjoyed the build. Strangely most satisfied with the ending of the couple trailing the group holding hands.

[joshmaxwellreinerallen]

Beautiful launch! It was my daughter's morning screen time :) Can't describe how much it means to her to see you being you!
