Let's be honest.... Tory's mustache is what makes this video so amazing. Also in this video... the amazing Vulcan Rocket. It's pretty wild that it worked on the first shot. ULA made some design choices to simplify the operation of the rocket. The design decision that's most fascinating to me is the how they handle the solid rocket motor thrust.

 I hope you enjoy this video of 2 rocket fans geeking out for 30 minutes! Thank you so much for supporting on Patreon. It genuinely allows me make the videos I want to make. I'm grateful!

Awesome, so glad you could sneak your Dad in as a camera man!

Evan Bunke

The ULA tour is my favorite video of yours, can't wait to watch this!

JD Mather

Thank you for sharing your dad’s involvement in this episode. It warms my heart!

Dave Ryan

Dustin, Tory obviously trusts you and your dialogue gives the rest of us access to a leader in rocket propulsion. Best wishes to ULA and Blue Origin in their race to compete with SpaceX.

Rick Corbitt

Absolutely fascinating, as always.

WillieChaffin

Wow, and you were there with your dad! Inspiring great admiration.

Jack

Hey Destin I just became a member of your Patreon but I’ve been watching your videos since light painting with helicopters my mom’s a middle school science teacher and loves your videos just wanted to say thank you truly for the years of education and entertainment keep up the amazing work

Love this. The nerdy rocket talk just thrills me as I learn more about a subject I am passionate about, albeit just looking in from the outside.

Erin

As someone whose job title has started with "GN&C Engineer" I admit you got me around 18 minutes in.

Mary Wolfe

Wicked cool! I love listening to people smarter than me talk about stuff that's interesting.

Mike Waldrop

So many cool things about this video, but probably my favorite part was the inclusion of your Dad. Seems like the ultimate culmination of a lot of things for you, which I think is awesome.

Nate Bell

Thanks for getting us more 1-on-1 footage with Tory, especially in such an amazing environment! He's always a delight to listen to. I loved his kudos to your dad's work on James Webb, and remembering your fascination with laminar flow.

Michael Bent

I wondered how much weight the fixed engines save by removing the gimbal system? Quite an elegant solution to saving weight.

A For Autonomous

This makes me want to see a rocket launch, and more importantly to bring my mom along. :’)

jason

best rocket nerd video I've seen in months.

Michael F

An other excellent video! Maybe this came up or it's obvious, but what replaces the space the fuel took up in the tanks as it's spent?

Ryan Massey

Will there be a longer version on the second channel? 🙂

Austin Burnham

I think this is a couple months, but happy ten years on Patreon!
