Egg Drop From Space

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

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.

I failed my exam, in an unfortunate way. But after that, i saw this video, and i realized that: "you don't lose, you learn". Thank you so much.

The fact that a 100 years ago going to space seemed almost impossible, and now a bunch of guys with an egg building a rocket and guiding it back down to a particular location without breaking the egg being seen as a 'passion project' is wild.

"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

Those final two eggs should've been incubated and hatched afterwards so they could be space chickens or space Avians.

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”

[alexsoldier]

As an engineer, the most relatable thing I’ve ever heard on this channel is “Our project ending death spiral was caused by a single rogue negative sign”

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”
🤣

[Baq-yow]

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.

[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.

[Kamarin_Ann]

I love that the majority of the video is about failure. None of that prevents you from moving forward. This video would have been amazing even if the eggs had broken. It’s your great attitude and joy of learning that is so valuable

[completeleigh]

The precision guided missile part was the icing on the cake lol

[NeuromodulatorNetwork]

Mark can engineer an egg to drop from space without breaking. Meanwhile, I can't get my eggs home from the grocery store without one of them breaking.

That said, my egg goal is to dive deep into how we each transform from 1 egg to 30 trillion cells. Vids forthcoming. 🧠⚡

My child is unfortunately stuck watching YouTube for 2-3 hours watching this channel. Now I am getting stuck too…

[mastac]

The bigger question is: if it falls for like 8 mins from space, is it well cooked when its come down?

[crazycjk]

That section with Adam was hilarious, the way he pointed out that you were making a guided missile made me laugh!! So cool to be able to call someone like that too

[craftd]

You have to respect the fact that 3 years of work went into this experiment. Mark’s dedication to his craft is unmatched!

[franklinegbuche]

I absolutely never heard of balloons being sent to space on daily basis around the world. Thanks
