Did The Confederate Army Build The First Ever Long-Range Missile | Season 4 Episode 1 | Full Episode 

Whoever decided to start releasing full episodes on RU-vid, is a genius!

Seeing Tori,Grant and Kari still part of the build team and not yet co host give a smile in my heart specially seeing Grant

I can't believe they set off the rocket in the shop, especially with Jamie standing right next to it.

I forgot how insane early mythbusters was, i miss this show

RIP Erik Gates, Grant and Jessi from the MythBusters family.

34:50 Why they even thought that testing a rocket/missile indoors would be a good idea is questionable lmao

I know these two weren't actually best friends, but I can tell they had a lot of intellectual fun on this one.

The earlier seasons of mythbusters were so unhinged. I love it.

Craziest episode of Master Chef ever.

I liked when an entire episode was devoted to a single myth and didn't have B plots

I'm very glad that the editors blurred out certain things so that I can never buy STP or GMC products. Thanks !

"100-mile rocket" sound s like a typical period exaggeration. was fun watching them take it literally and give it a go. Was that a camera on fire? :D

39:33 I love how they censor Kari saying it, but you can read the label on the bottle of acid in the same scene. 😂

44:54 they actually got that into the script 🤣

48:29 Congreeve studied samples of Hyder Ali's rockets (developed 1780). An Ali rocket with one pound of propellant powder encased in iron had a range of 1,000 yards. By 1813, Congreeve developed the 12 pounder which could achieve a range of 2,000 yards but averaged 1,400 yards. The primary advantage of military rockets at the time was not range but rate of fire. By 1850, Congreeve rockets were replaced by Hale rockets with ranges up to 2,000 yards. The primary weakness of rockets was limited shelf life. The "long range" rocket described by Jefferson Davis had a brass case, rendering it incapable of achieving the range of iron-cased rockets. At most, it was a short-lived fireworks entertainment for Confederate VIPs.

0:40 that Adam savage intro is my favourite intro of his in all the seasons they did. Even better than "am I missing an eyebrow" and "I reject your reality and substitute my own" all classics but the rocket one is the best.

God I shed a tear being reminded about Grant. I miss you man

hope they add every single season, more please

Why do all of these videos have the MasterChef logo in the top right of the screen? Lol

"Next it's Lord Kelvin's big O" I beg your finest pardon? 🤣

It looked more like galvanized electrical conduit to me ....Instead of " plumbing parts "

I knew how to make guncotton when I was 12. The recipe was in the 1967 World Book Encyclopedia.

I find it funny to imagine the top rocket scientists from the period pushing the limits of science to create the “perfect” missile for war. A few hundred years later, a couple of amateurs rocket builders do it for fun lol

So they made Nitrocellulose. Just drop the cotton into a nitration bath. I mean don't since you need some nasty acids for that but well.

My favorite mythbuster? The fricken narrator

They need to release all Mythbuster episodes because it teaches people about dangers that most don't take for granted, plus its fun to watch.

I’ve studied the civil war for about 15 years. I’ve done reenacting as well as writing a few papers in college, one regarding new weapon technologies invented during the war. Not once have I ever heard of this “myth” until this video came into my recommendations.

Those welds kill me omg. Chemistry that is censored so that it can't be replicated pisses off the chemist within me.

great show i think these guys are gonna make it big one day

Just found these full episodes. So stoked they have been uploaded. Been waiting so long to be able to rewatch entire episodes

Man I can't express how much gratitude I feel that mythbusters is being shared on youtube. Instantly subscribed.

This aged very well. If I did not know better I would believe this is a recent production by a YT channel.

Finally!!!! FULL EPISODES!!!

Glad I was able to find a digitized version of this show I grew up watching Mythbusters

THIS show is reality tv done right.

I am so glad this is here. It's good to see the mythbuster gang. RIP Grant. Thanks to the buster team and crew and discovery channel for putting this here.

29:00 you know someone must’ve complained about this scene

The Polish Army used rockets to deliver mail to mountainous areas of the country where normal deliveries were not possible.

Memories. Also... still R.I.P. Grant. :(

Perfect show in concept and execution

William Hale was a local boy from Colchester , England . Invented water jet propulsion for ships and the thrust vectored rocket in the 1840s user by the Union Army during the Civil War . Apparently had accuracy at a range of 2000 M . The British Army didn't adopt them until proven during that conflict.

This is excellent as the versions I purchased from apple way back in the day seem to be cut shorter.

This will always be my favorite Mythbusters episode. The test firing and Adam's description of what happened at the test firing was pure gold. Shop on fire :D :D

This is one of my favorite episodes!

Sucks that most of the episodes in the playlist are hidden but I’m here to binge as much as I can!

I love the rocket scientist with the mullet going on. I dont remember him

*_"C.R. JOHNSON"_* {Oh, boy...🤭}

C.R. Johnson = See Our Johnson lol

My of my fav myths tested, to be able to launch a rocket that well, great job! The power it had, what it did to the shop was scary!

Great show, great episode

prolly why Nasa has such a presence in Alabama

More full episodes please!

One of my favorite ep :D

My childhood, this was the pinnacle of "substitute teacher who wasn't given much directions but to give out a simple sheet and put on mythbusters"

I love love love this show. Remember my science teacher showing us an episode every friday

This show was such a huge part of my college life. Thank you for sharing it.

Why am i just now finding this channel??? One of the best shows ever!

This was peak television

Dang even the narrator took a dig at him lol.

I'm happy to watch this episode again.

One of my favorite shows

The amount of farb in this episode is wild. They chose the absolute worst reenactors ever

Such a technical explanation of the rocket working love it

Oh man I love these, not like the badly cut up version shown on tv years ago.

this was my favorite episode of all time and it hasn't been on any streaming services in forever.

Loved the vid , that sticker placement will take some beating , maybe one on the international space station will do it 😀. Just an idea if you put the RU-vid logo on the next batch people will out of curiosity do a search and hopefully more subscribers. I got one on my car back window . I got a few more just waiting to be placed in some bazaar places.

When this show came out, I was in awe and watched it religiously every week.

You’re a saint and hero for posting full episodes on here

Lol. Lounches a rocket... instantly puts hand on the launch pad.

Nice to see RU-vid commenters arguing about the episode and picking apart their methodology, just as people did on forums constantly back in the day!

One of my favourites ❤

God I miss this show…

Back when you could say the word 'confederate' without having to go into a whole thing about slavery being bad.

I'm gonna tell everyone since I know a bit on the topic: One of the ingredients in guncotton is Nitroglycerin 44:55 That joke was not lost on me.

OH MY GOD I HAVEN'T SEEN THESE GUYS IN YEARS

That parts shop looked so cool! I wanna go to a giant wearhouse full of metal pipes!

"Just a little bit closer..... just a little bit closer..... just a little bit closer.... and BOOM!!!!! Everyone is dead. " This is hands down one of my favourite Adam Savage Quotes.

Its amazing seeing Adam with bandages on his fingers during MB... Some things never change!

You guys are the best for putting these on RU-vid!

“Denial is a river in Africa” 😂

The Guys are the best 😊🎉

🥳 the older the episodes the greater my 😁 luv watching the uupsis they have learned from 🤩can't await when u'r uploading plan hits "...am i missing an eyebrow ?" 😅

Man I miss this show!

Episodes like this one are why everyone loved Mythbusters

47:40 at the dude testing to see if the tube was hot lol

I miss when the discovery channel wasn't bullshit.

Same range as contemporary 19th century field artillery. Though probably more accurate. It would just be simpler to use normal artillery, but interesting none the less.

Guy burning his hand on the rocket guide tube is my spirit animal (47:40)

Impressive Experiments, i remember this Episode from TV and the rockets looks cool.

Grant: gonna be a lot of thrust.....oh myyyyyy ;3

This is probably my favorite MB episode of all time.

Miss this TV series

GREAT show pitty in finished

I think the overwhelming majority of myths on this show were made for no reason other than people wanted to see them keep doing the show

I remember seeing the sidekicks come in and being upset because I thought it was a Steve being replaced in blues clues situation

Imma start watching these and commenting fact or myth to give away the endings 😂

Now knowing they didn’t like each other changes things. The chemistry really isn’t there like I thought when I was young.

"ever more beefed up"

I've watched them on here but I have discovery plus now so I watch there as well

When mythbusters bring in an explosives expert you know they will live another day😂😂😂
