NASA Ares I Solid Rocket Motor Test

[LizzyAston]

how hot?

[CyclonicTuna023]

Thats one mighty sparkler you got there...

[pol6455]

jakie to piękne... co za MOOOOOOCCCCCC mmmmniaaaammm

[EvilStan100]

Chuck Norris lent them his cigar lighter.

[sjrangeljs]

badassary...

[yotienpluche]

So thats why the day was shorter that day!

[Mavi222]

1:10 for ignition, you can thank me later :3

[nattsurfaren]

In Russia this is barbequing 

[quinxxer]

of pure power

[349morewatson]

Can Estes sell me one of these for my kids?

[hottyboyy]

thats what happens when i eat TACO BELL

[mjf425]

ha my 96 accod can do that

[kawsihen]

that is more than my lifetime fuel consumption.

[TheDrunkenMantis]

Fuck the wadsworth constant, anyone ever heard of a build up?

You wanna have sex and blow your load in a minute? Or last a half hour and enjoy the whole thing.

People are too impatient.

[jajison]

@TheDrunkenMantis ...except, this isn't sex or a blowjob...wow

[TheDrunkenMantis]

@jajison Comparisons are confusing, I know, don't worry.

Here is what you can do, Google the word Comparison, read the definition. Then perhaps ask your parents if you could test out some comparisons on them, to see if you understand!

Do that, come back here, and then let me know if you understand.

[jajison]

@TheDrunkenMantis During sexual activity...yes, I love some foreplay and all of that, but again...THIS ISN'T SEXUAL ACTIVITY. The build-up DOESN'T MATTER. If I skipped the first 1/4 of the video...what do I miss? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. If there was a drum roll or someone telling the viewer what is about to happen, I'd be all over that. Is there any of that? Nope. Thanks you for your time.

[mdcore]

were they testing a rocket motor or just moving a whole lot of dust?

[jspsfx]

Instead of saying "wadsworth applies", how about saying wadsworth applies and linking the moment it applies.

[BruceLeDouche]

@jspsfx You obviously don't understand the wadsworth constant

[druthers25]

no wonder gas prices are so high

[koalastove]

damnit chuck norris what did we say about lighting your farts on fire

[harf12345]

just a video of me lighting a ciggarette no big deal

[zanderzander05]

wadsworth constant applies

[dylanestill]

That's what Taco Bell does to me also

[TylerN1993]

I feel bad for the wildlife that got burned.... lol

[Zamborgarr]

this is how the earth changed the direction of its rotation

[technerd52]

the smoke cloud looks like a nuclear bomb

[Sublime570]

Can i ramp my bike over it?

[ravinepatrickswayze]

i thought nasa space missions were shut down???

[Fly2Azeroth]

@ravinepatrickswayze No look for "NASA's Space Launch System - Key to Space Exploration Forum"

[MrGLaDOS95]

You know what I think this is good for ? If somebody is getting on your nerves just do this test in front of their house. It won't just set it on fire, it will totally blow it away!

[SupraFR34K96]

Stupid rocket builders... Now the earth is going faster in the universe, so we'll soon have ice age... JK :)

[deadlyfluffball]

I would hate to be in front of that thing.

[smokescreenninjato]

@deadlyfluffball i would hate to be behind it

[Misel982001]

These missle launchers that use solid fuel are crap.If we want to explore the solar system we need to build missles with other type of fuel.

[ChiefLeftenant]

that ignites in a tenth of a second. It was a whole 60 milli seconds after than sound. just another example of the epitome of humanity's commitment to exploitation... GOOD GOD we are a curious race of beings...

[pubuman]

@ChiefLeftenant Do you mean exploration? or ....

[ChiefLeftenant]

@pubuman Sorry Typo... Or... Auto Correct, WOW!!! Exploitation??? That is not what I was saying at all...

[pubuman]

@ChiefLeftenant Lol .. yeah I was thinking that word doesn't go with the rest of the nice sentiment in your comment :)

[ChiefLeftenant]

@pubuman Thanks.. I'm glad someone caught this, Because I don't want people thinking something that isn't true.

[YuTe3712]

"There you see the beautiful Utah sky...

...

And a lot of dust."

WOW, what an understatement.

[ilovetodraw555]

me after i eat taco bell.

[brucebu]

If I saw this in person, I would have to go directly to the hospital to have them reattach my lower jaw.

[barbarotico]

HEY, DOES THAT BURN?

[MegaRoutier]

6 people where at the back of this rocket!

[sappiou]

put like 15 of these and we can spin this planet faster... 2 days of work days and 5 days weekend....

[thissk8er]

It's like an almighty money shot, the initial explosion, then a giant burst ... of ... flames?

I best see a doctor about this.

[ThatAdelaideGuy]

Hmm.. I'm still not sure about the colour, I think It would look much better in black

[Joelam400]

@ThatAdelaideGuy Racing stripes, too.

[TooMuchGass]

I feel like walking up close and study the flames

[d3ng]

and you still calling the chinese poluting the air

[orion2ktc]

@d3ng Well considering that 90% of what you see moving into the air is desert sand, yeah, I'd say the Chinese are still one of the worst polluters in the world.

[Alpharius93]

If I were an astronaut, I'm not sure I would feel safe with that thing under me...

[LouisAnimations5]

i would not want to stand in front of that thing!

[SkyyCaptainn]

I want to see Mythbusters episode where they flipped car and school bus with 747 redone with this booster.

[ribasz]

y luego gente se pregunta, por que hay calentamiento global ??

[halation777]

Hell on Earth.

[egentile30]

holy shit

[Tenaki32]

It's like an explosion that never stops.

[holzpusher]

the line forms at the right! (for your ticket to Mars!)

[blackopsomega]

Holy shit!! I thought it would blow the hillside right off!

[ozzymuzzy246]

Dear Santa...

[OvergrowGoolge]

The flame I get when I light my farts on fire are bigger!

[halation777]

@OvergrowGoolge You must be proud.

[FastLife79]

INSANE!

[Hudson2150]

Take that mountain!

[psychotikpaisano]

@Hudson2150

Punctuation fail lol!

[Sidewinder9877]

Can't we watch one rocket motor or weapon test without a stupid Chuck Norris comment!?

[xpcfrazier82]

@IPVentertainment if the rocket got loose I don't think you would outrun it! Just dig a hole to get in b4 its ignited and hope the dust don't bury your ass.

[gopherhockeyfreak]

worlds largest bottle rocket

[lewisthecollard]

i'm genuinely curious here: how the hell did they hold the rocket down?

[ReeceAndersonable]

Chuck Norris, lighting ur farts are NOT funny!

[esracoon]

actually they are trying to change the earths rotation

[NextLvlProductions]

Nitro boost ftw.

[Twixgtx]

DAAAAAAMMNN!! that can't be good for the environment! LOL!

[rabarbear]

22 000 000 hp?

[237rascalflatts]

suck this russia

[runsa]

1:12 What happens on the toilet after a night out at taco bell.

[osspanskooranice]

kno3 and sugar :D

[fastzone24]

@osspanskooranice

good point :D

[blecha74]

No money, but destructive flat money to economy again and again...

[Groundkisser]

Well, since Obama cancelled the Constellation Program, they can always use the rocket as a giant glassblower.

[IPVentertainment]

i would love to see what would happen if the rocket got loose

[excessumlul]

IMA FIREN MAH LAZOR

[onnelako]

that was cool!!!

[SkyyCaptainn]

This is not awesome enough. I'd like to see 30 of those burning together strapped to nuclear pulse spacecraft to lift it out of atmosphere.

[ayanuhito]

i love the navigator talking about Co2 and lots of dust.. etc. progress.

[deejayzak]

When I die I want to come back as a NASA sign, oh wait...

[2nasafakedit]

NASA fake everything

Nasa is a Nazi disease

[BigNose144]

@2nasafakedit Ah, now even rocket motors are faked...

...I come to the conclusion, that the only things which are faked here, are your brain and the cake from Portal !!! :D

[2nasafakedit]

@DickNose144 the Nazi retard kid

[barbarotico]

Hey I want to do a question for the intelligent people of youtube.

Does that stuff burn?

[msounderson]

Good for marshmallows!!! Exactly,or as Hairdryer!!

[ZZAKON]

22 MILLION HP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Wdf yeahhh...

[tealmarlin]

imagine standing right next to that thing when it went off.

[jtack19791]

Now THAT is how you make a flamethrower kids!

[LUXITANE]

I wish my crapy car had a 22 million horse power.

[Mozilafoxx]

ok you can stop now

[Intraverseneptune]

@photolitherland it's called old hat! Check out the UFO's!

[hangemhigh2000]

to late to shut it off now

[Intraverseneptune]

waste of time you dont need this. 'They' are already flying around in spaceships.

[detibry]

i wonder if they sell these motor pellets for amateur rockets?

[LightSwitchr]

What's that noise that starts at 0:44 and sounds like a badly revving engine?

[GTR0134]

@LightSwitchr If you were listening you would hear the commentator saying "sounds of a high speed camera"

[blablubb12345]

@GTR0134

Yes, and he is wrong. It's the HPU (hydraulic power unit) starting which creates the hydraulic pressure to steer the nozzle.

[MrNicks24]

Jeeze, and they're worried about CO2 emissions. That thing probably just produced more than everyone that's on youtube at this exact second will ever produce in our lifetimes. It's cool though, it's NASA. How many aerosol cans does this thing equal? Not saying it's not cool, just saying HIPPOCRATES!

[LightSwitchr]

@MrNicks24 Actually, due to the fuel they use, all this creates is water vapour and a small amount of hydrochloric acid. The large brown tank they strap to the space shuttle only produces water vapour as it burns hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O), which then fuses together to make H2O, or water.

[TheKazable]

@LightSwitchr Your thinking of Liquid rocket motors... This static firing is of a solid rocket motor (ammonium perchlorate).

[BigNose144]

22.000.000 HP? Turns sand to glass?

I want that thing!

[hardstyle905]

@BigNose144 it's easy to turn sand into glass. don't need a rocket engine for that.

[StarCraZe2010]

Best way to cook barbecue! :)

[Porre1337]

i want one of these on my car!

[necedm]

where's the cupholder?

[FrogBlaster77]

I think they meant it when they said "fire."

[kobasica]

graphite nozzle?

[fluideight]

Some dude should have run up and lit a smoke off of it.

[doh1959]

if ever im sentenced to death i want to be stood in front that rocket with no pants on

[Dune1884]

FUCK ME!

[onehotseat]

22 million horsepower? Someone attach some wheels to that thing and let's see how fast it can go on land.

[thepwnanater]

@567Sushi yeah but noone cares except treehuggers......

and hippies...

MAN

[RobertsDigital]

I need to roast some chicken...get me some garlic and salt please

[MusicalFan1701]

The most powerful rocket motor ever fired! Too bad Ares was cancelled, so we'll never see it fly.

[A86]

@MusicalFan1701 - Don't count it out yet. Canceling it will need Congressional approval. Congress seems to possibly lean towards keeping it going.

[tiranoturbo]

still have people that are impressed with 1000 horse power and 22 million?! I wonder what would happen hahaha! beautiful test!

[nguyentuan1990]

anyone has the impulse?

[Megafreek001]

what whould happen if we put up 1000 of those at the same place and start at the same time !! hahaha we will skip a day maby xd

[Zakat1978]

yeah, nice. but the construction is so simple!

[MrFatguy10000]

This is what we do in the aerospace industry.

[CyclonicTuna023]

Its almost like a vulcano erupting

[FunnyIQ]

one hell ogfa fire ball

[Lastesina]

They should use that as a flamethrower in Iraq xD

[Slugg0matic]

I'm guessing they don't have much of a gopher problem in them hills.

[NigelGriff]

22,000,000 hp, damn.

[Elvarks]

It's like a 3 minute explotion!

[Dirtboy101]

Biggest flamethrower EVER!!!!!!

[elpergola]

GOOD FOR MARSHMALLOWS....

[BrantVessels34]

hasearching for a guy that would treat me well

[yumaokamoto]

we should get all the rockets in the world and point them in the opposite direction of how the earth spins so the earth will stop spinning lol

[chadaniels]

are you crazy? do you have any idea of what natural disasters a thing like that would create!?

[RadioTrefoil]

@chadaniels I have an idea. No natural disasters at all.

[punisher17011990]

@yumaokamoto that would dramaticly increase our "feld gravitation"...we should inrease the revolutions of earth so we´ll fly someday on earth. like on the iss.

[argentonath]

@punisher17011990 it would produce an increase in effective gravitational acceleration, but not a dramatic one. There are already points on the earth where gravity isn't counteracted by centrifugal force at all (the effect reduces as you move away from the equator, becoming nothing at the poles), and the difference in gravitational acceleration between the poles and the equator is only a tenth of a percent.

[kidi1232]

"firing in 10, 9" oh crap! "8, 7" i should take cover "6, 5" it's a fucking desert, where can i hide? "5, 4" hey there's a metal pipe there, it should protect me! "3" here we go, it's a great place to hide in "2" however it's kinda hot, and there is this weird noise. "1" wait a min- @@!#!

[pilotwave]

my god, that was bad ass! must take some crazy heavy-duty equipment to hold that thing in place too.

[EnforcedCrowd]

wheres the marshmallows, i wants to make me some smores

[xzKyouzx]

ydrogen peroxide, hydrazine, nitrous oxide, Nitrogen tetroxide, LOX and liquid hydrogen, LOX and kerosene (RP-1).

[viper3636dr]

ok i think you burned the fajitas at 1:15

[kekrosberg]

depois querem acabar com a poluiçao rsr otários mesmo...

[AutumnPolitics]

what is this thing used for?

[kelsongs]

It was to take us back to the moon (with additional upper stages). Started by Pres. Bush, it was cancelled by Pres. Obama. I was there its awesome.

[wetchickenlip]

to launch men intospace beyond orbit and onto the moon!

[pfcmarine0311]

the space shuttle its the rockets that are on the side of the space shutle

[thanosguitarist]

they destroy the enviroment with all this but it is amazing seeing it

[julianreischl]

I don't think they destroy the environment that much. Firstly, rockets don't run on oil or gas (sometimes nastier stuff, admittedly), so you need to research well before comparing this to commercial air traffic or the cars, secondly, how many rocket launches and tests combined are there in comparison with said commercial airtraffic, cars, ships, power plants (even nuclear) and other pollutants, like the industry? Rockets are next to nil on that scale.

[CCAA2233]

@thanosguitarist

what environment? its a bunch of sand... all that lives in it is prob bacteria...

[kelsongs]

It burns the sagebrush and cheatgrass which grows back. They have cooked a few mule deer though on other occasions. They would scare them off but they would come back to feed on the grass...and well, you can't stand there and scare them off up until firing time.

[callmeshane303]

.

Stupid Americans.

Use METRIC for fucks sake - like the rest of the 95% of the worlds population.

Retards.

[NJRocks281]

how about you suck my american dick

[callmeshane303]

I thought you would be the one best suited to doing THAT yourself.

Or doesn't your family let you out of your cage in the basement that much, for those very reasons?

[WATbenJIJstoer]

i don't think my car is the problem of global warming, thanks nasa ;)

[mchainmchainmchain]

This is a solid fuel rocket. It is tied down, but not in the way another user seems to think it is, with ropes and whatnot. I do not know how it is done, but I would surmise the base of the restraint would be high-strength concrete embedded into the soil many feet below. Additional restraints would be built into this base.

You may not realize it, but the flame is actually cooking the soil and changing it into solid glass.

Once a solid-fuel rocket is ignited, it cannot be shut off.

[Olebruc]

@mchainmchainmchain Why do they use solid fuel rockets?? and not traditional fuel?

[mchainmchainmchain]

It is really about the application, requirements, and cost. If you look at the Ares as a Chevy and the use of a liquid-fueled rocket as a Ferrari, then you will begin to understand why one technology is used in one instance and not another. Solid-fuel technology is constantly being upgraded and developed, and has advantages over liquid fuel, especially in storage and handling. Refrigeration costs are high with liquid fuel, and the core boosters themselves cannot be reused, vs. solid.

[Olebruc]

@mchainmchainmchain Wow great explication man! I guessed something like that! Solid fuel do a lot of smoke, compared to liquid.

[mchainmchainmchain]

It's 'explanation". The motor (the actual combustion chamber where the liquid fuel is combined and burned) is necessarily designed and constructed for the extreme cold as the fuel is introduced, and the seals used inside it are not reusable.

Additionally, liquid fuel is very combustible, making the storing of the hydrogen and oxygen very high risk vs. solid fuel. You are right about the amount of smoke produced, as H2 and O2 combine to produce steam (water), and solid does not burn as cleanly.

[TheKazable]

@mchainmchainmchain

Up until the point when the liquid fuel mixes in the combustion chamber the fuels stay separate from each other and neither is very combustible at that point.... If anything, ammonium perchlorate just sitting in storage is infinite times more combustible than liquid fuels.

Also, solid fuel motor are used because of their advantage on output over liquid motors. Not because of their storage and handling advantages

[mwallaby]

Strictly speaking it's turning the soil into liquid glass, which will become solid later...

[mchainmchainmchain]

You're right. There is a a caveat, however. A significant amount of the smoke generated by the exhaust is the result of ionized compounds and dust from this phase change in the soil. Still, it is something to think about.

This dust does remain in the atmosphere for some time.

[derekroolz]

Soo what were your ratios for this fuel....HAHA!!!!

[xgmb45]

Out of curiousity, how is this thing stationary?

[numantunak]

@xgmb45 I remember hearing about that, basically, From what I remember, they concreted it down and some very strong metal bars or ropes that were holding it.

[KaratePilz]

yeah i'm asking myself too
