I am totally digging the - "Source : Tim Dodd" video footage. That's gotta feel good to know it's your footage. That's a total milestone for Everyday Astronaut

[darklightk]

One small upload for man, one giant leap of watch time for mankind

Rockets aren’t the problem. There are so many other things to focus on before people start complaining about pollution of rockets.
This video is amazing man and so insightful. You are a legend! Keep up the brilliant videos man.

Thank you so much for your time and stress making this. I'm an atmospheric physicist I’ve been wondering the same question for years and haven’t even dreamed of having the time to investigate all the complexities. Honestly this is enough research to be published into a paper. It makes me want to turn all my research into videos rather than papers that nobody will read... much more impact through a video!

[nobodynemoq]

I'm really late here, over a year late. Your videos are literally HUGE. But these are also that comprehensive, with so much information provided, that every minute spent on watching them is worth it! Thank you! 😁

People: "I'm becoming crazy after 2 days at home"
Same people: "I'd love to go to Mars, it's my dream"

I am 35 minutes in and I just realized the sign behind him changes colors.

Great job with the video Tim. You make boring stuff interesting.

"Why is there smoke coming out of your rocket, Elon?"

"Oh, that isn't smoke, it's steam! Steam from the water deluge system. Mmmm, water deluge."

[EverydayAstronaut]

I should have pointed out the source that Starship Point to Point likely won't use a booster, here's the source for that!


"Ah, so single-stage point-to-point? That sounds way better."

This will be a easy quick video- Tim March 2019

[nickvangeel]

Lets just be clear, it took a global pandemic for Tim to finally finish this video.
Love you Tim

[LisaStojanovski]

This was such a fun video to work on with you, Tim. Rockets are awesome!

[pyrusrex]

I don't know of anyone who puts their whole heart and soul into their videos like Tim does. That's what you call CONTENT.

[Tubluer]

Is it just me, or is everybody wandering around, unable to get that leafblower/F150 comparison out of their head? Anyhow, the obvious solution is a full flow staged combustion cycle leaf blower.

I didn't know what "in detail" meant... until I watched a 55-minute video to answer a seven-word question.

[KingArthurWs]

I love how long these videos are. Sometimes it is annoying, but it is great when I want to learn the content of an academic paper without having to dive through some high number of paragraphs, each containing words none of my family members nor me have ever seen in our lives. My mother is a lawyer, and even she has no idea what they are saying, despite knowing 90% of Latin roots and memorizing a large portion of the dictionary to heart.

[danielgn]

These documentaries are so well made and full of useful information, they put to shame almost anything you can find on TV.

[洪旻勝]

This is beyond YouTube level. This is a Ken Burns-level documentary. Amazing work! :D

[lennargon]

When 55 minutes feel like 15 minutes, you've probably watched a video from Everyday Astronaut

[mayankshrivastava]

I can't thank you enough for this video, I have been in arguments with people about rocket pollution, trying to explain them how they are not half as polluting as they look at launch. And how the value that we generate from a launch outweighs the negatives of one. You put it all together really well. I am going to share this everywhere and will use your video every time I get into an argument regarding rocket pollution ever again.



Also, I have said this before and I say this again. What an incredibly researched video. Tim, you are setting the gold standard for YouTube production quality. Videos so well worked out we can learn a lot of rocket science by watching them and reading the resources. Great graphs this time around(animations otherwise), very well crafted and amazingly structured. I love everything you do, have been doing that for a long time and intend to continue it for the foreseeable future.
