The Problem with Northrop's Solid Motors

A HUGE thank you to the @NASASpaceflight folks who let me use their footage of Vulcan's flight!

For more info:

A no context liquid engine is criminal

[spaceman]

YouTubers are the best consultants for a multi billion dollar rocket company

Edit: Guys it’s just a joke, chill with the comments!! lol

[ZBES]

Using a pack of solid rocket motors as a mic holder. I expect nothing less.

[lietuvospatriotasnr]

HOLD ON is he making A LIQUID FUELED ENGINE!?

[RocketVlogs]

I quote that Delta II "We have had an anomaly" soundbite all the time lmao

[Prolitiker]

Came for the sarcasm, stayed for the solid analysis.

[gabrielpi]

"kgf" is such a cursed unit and I absolutely adore it.

[toddkinney]

Joe, just wanted to thank you for being so cool and helping out our Scouts at FAR this past weekend. They had a blast!

[DWiseCinema]

Been looking forward to this! Loved seeing you on The Flame Trench and this technical analysis is awesome!

Oh, and since you asked, not only is there in fact a very slight contour to the SLS SRB nozzles, there’s a very slight contour to the Shuttle SRB nozzles too. It’s difficult to notice especially with the aft skirt in the way, but it’s visible in cross section in quite a few documents available from nasa

It's crazy how much I've learned from all the videos of technical development y'all are doing for the space shot campaign, and how it immediately translates to understanding, analysis, and conclusion with respect to how the big boys build srbs

4:42 - "It's time to innovate" - going to use that line from now on.

[theKashConnoisseur]

The next time I experience a mechanical failure, I'm going to call it innovation.

[jacobthornhill]

2:32 No way you just drop your design for a regen-cooled bipropellant rocket engine!

[C-M-E]

The irony of naming a part on your booster the Exit Cone, then having it do what it was named to do and being surprised.
File that under Whoops.

[iamneophyte]

Did you really convert pound force into kilgram force? You are a savage.

[rkramer]

My first thought after watching the launch was whether or not this channel would make any ‘observationss’ on the nozzle loss.

Thanks for not disappointing! 😂

[patrick_diving_de]

Nice one, using kgf as Unit - "Imperializing" the metric system. 😂


I was expecting Newtons as Unit for Force.

Wikipedia:
The kilogram-force (kgf or kgF), or kilopond (kp, from Latin: pondus, lit. 'weight'), is a non-standard gravitational metric unit of force. It is not accepted for use with the International System of Units (SI)[1] and is deprecated for most uses

Missed opportunity to exit with "...May your skies be blue, and the solid rocket motor microphone in your hands suddenly innovate." (microphone launches, cut to black)

[thedarkside]

I saw a comment someone have asked Tory "Can we get a trajectory of the nozzle?"

Tory's answer was "down." 😂😂😂😂
