Crash and Burn! How NOT To Recover a 42 Foot Tall Half-Ton Rocket

[CANADAPLOW]

Now if only they had put a in it than it would have better. Thanks the video. Im marijuana I smoked. ldl

[knt3119]

Top section was stuffed with old panties and greasy rags....

[neston24]

Fuel empyt..

[epickett63]

OUCH! That's an expensive failure... :-(

[Postie218]

Was the rocket too heavy, and not enough thrust ?

[rberry1964]

opps

[nachalnik7777]

Жалко такие труды! Хорошая ракета! Привет из России! Мужики молодцы.

[2012goingNutz]

sORRY BRO. But it was a hella run. Not bad, it could have blew up or something. I think it was awesome and I am willing to take a collection for an even bigger rocket.

[gunkie6072]

I was there for that launch. There was supposed to be a second stage on an 'N' motor. Would have been even more spectacular if that had ignited. Apparently, none of the electronics were armed.

[calishortfilms]

awwwe. : (

[FantasticBob7000]

Seems the problem wasn't the recovery system, it was the second stage ignition system.

[Rivannous]

is this an IFBM_

inter field ballistic missile...

[NeutralNegotiator]

@Rivannous LOL

[Rivannous]

@NeutralNegotiator

you loled?

I didn't lol, because my comment was just dumb and idiotic and I am a stupid Youtube troll without videos.

giggidy

[NeutralNegotiator]

@Rivannous Self awareness is a great thing!!!

[Rivannous]

@NeutralNegotiator

XD welcome to youtube, where some trolls even recognize themselves XD

[SierraKilo9]

What was the Flight Dynamics Officers report?

[MBIPINC]

Simple solution, use a bigger motor! 5X the weight for the thrust would be a great place to start.

Obviously way under powered.

[cjeam9199]

@MBIPINC Well it depends how high how fast they wanted it to go. I thought that, and due to the arc wondered whether one of the motors failed to ignite (they do say at the end there's a live motor) but nothing in the description says it was supposed to go higher, just that the recovery didn't work.

[inbound1000]

i could have told them it was going to crash before it took off.... looked ridiculous...stick to estes..much cheaper

[MrMamatis]

Very sad!!!, was it shute failure, or was the altidude not reached, I noticed seperation on the way down.

Regards.

[spacemouse1]

It was a good attempt. I hope that it didn't cost too much ..

[Yankeeprepperasshat]

someone took it out lastnight and forgot to fill up the tank

[TheeAirworks]

lololololol, GOTTA LOVE MONEY:)

[Spencerianism]

I'm suprized it didn't explode.

[rbmaserang]

DESTINED TO FAIL, BAD DESIGN

[adam3141]

Shame - Beautiful lift off though. I wonder if they ever figured out what went wrong with the parachute deployment system?

[knifemakejake]

what was used as fuel?

[jmar1371]

Gravity wins. Every time.

[hagerty1952]

@jmar1371 Not past 17,500 MPH...

[Mobman7326]

Model rocket builders have to be like Generals, They have to be willing to see the thing they love destroyed, because sooner or later it probably will be.

[openminded1313]

Houston, we have (had) a problem!

[cjeam9199]

@openminded1313 Nice work on the transcript accuracy there :)

[CosmicDamian]

What was the max altitude on that flight?

[whyzombies]

wow a really nice rocket and you either forgot the fucking parachute system or for got to deploy it wtf >:(.

[scoutforpenny]

what happened to a parachute you asshole

[cjeam9199]

@scoutforpenny It didn't work, read the description. Nipplemouth.

[cjeam9199]

@cjeam9199 So apparently I've been here before.... totally don't remember that.

[david1513]

thats noised over not in, by the way your suppose to open the chute before it hits the ground its alot cheaper, havent you heard of radio remote control it will also blow a chute out the noise cone...

[jetaimemina]

Heh. "Bye bye".

[Nomoreidsleft]

I thought I was watching a missile test.

[Vamutus]

1:00

"FUCK FUCKFUCKFUCKFUCK!"

[fleafrier1]

I'm sorry to see that. Hurts to watch. Did you find the cause of the recovery system failure?

[9Apilot]

Another motto. " They call it 'rocket science' for a reason

[RobertKaydoo]

That is one awfully expensive lawn dart!

Sorry about the wreck, better luck next time!

[AssociatedPressRaw]

Riding that thing would be a fun way to kill yourself

[thelostcomrad]

lol lawn dart

[etchasketch1515]

Sorry to see that happen.

[BandBproductions56]

FAIL...... its part of life

[maclarn91]

crash and burn!why not to have a 42 ft half ton rocket

[Mrcreeper1o1]

what did we learn today North Korea?

[sleepingeye]

I can't see how this liftoff was "beautiful" as it says in the description.

[r0ck3tsm0k3]

If you watch the video showing how he built it, you would not find it so much funny as a sad ending. He worked very hard on this project. If it helps, people will remember this for years to come.

[R3MUS2007]

LOL, well your launch wasnt straight anyways, it was too heavy, and your thrust wasnt even. Also it would have helped to double check the parachutes AND have a higher altitude for deployment. It didnt go high enough for the recovery system to be able to activate in time.

[jacktheripped]

I think it was ment to be a 2 stage rocket and the upper stage did not ignite, dooming the flight.

[Straight2hell01]

NIce!!!!

[Gonblen93]

lol i wanted so bad to see explosion and ground impact!!!! :D

[Omnigeek6]

Does anyone know what motor/motors this rocket used? Because it looked like it started arcing over the instant is cleared the launch tower, and reached apogee only a second or two after burnout.

[r0ck3tsm0k3]

@Omnigeek6 P and two Ns in lower stage, one N in upper stage I think. Not enough really, but considering the time it was a lot. Could have used 3x Q motors staged to a Q.

[ravinex]

the voice is chuck sackett , the builder of the project

[spacearium]

I love the voice on the video "bye bye..." it just makes the whole thing lol. another video clip I have has a rather irreverant play-by-play of the rocket as it nosed in.

[AirrowRocket]

Spectacular rocket!

[vnashi]

byebye lol
