@hal_aetus 8 месяцев назад

I like the use of obscure names from sci fi movies for the engine models. Hadley and Ripley have to be from Aliens (Hadley's Hope was the atmosphere processing station and Ripley was Sigourney Weaver's character). Arroway might be a reference to Dr. Arroway, the primary protagonist in Contact.

@vicroc4 8 месяцев назад

I thought that those were references. Ripley I recognized but Hadley is a bit more obscure. Kind of like Firefly Aerospace with their Reaver and Miranda engines.

@saquist 8 месяцев назад

@danmay6493 8 месяцев назад

Awesome video, Neet seing all the engines up close and personal like that. The explosions were extreme and thanks Joe that was just so cool. However I think the coolest thing was having the young lady being a major part if not leader of design on a rocket engine. If someone truly can do a job then they should be given every oportunity and this young lady took it and ran with it. I see her future as even greater than she could ever imagine. I would love to see her if she would be willing to promote STEM to girls to get them into it. BTW I am a male and if I had a daughter I would be so proud to see her grow up and do this kind of thing for a living.

@williamhoward7121 8 месяцев назад

I was at the Apollo 11 launch and totally understand Tim's excitement every time an engine lights. We live in an amazing time and our march forward toward colonizing the moon and Mars open so many opportunities for those with science backgrounds. Show these videos to your kids get them interested in science and math, as difficult as it can be in school it's worth it in the end to get these types of jobs! Thanks to Tim and all the folks at Ursa!

@donjones4719 8 месяцев назад

Ursa Major, I may just be an armchair engineer but I've learned a lot about engines in the last 5 years. I can see innovation throughout this engine. I was struck by the regen channel design - I'll bet 50 to 1 that other new engines use the traditional channel design and 1,000 to one that if AJ Rocketdyne designed such an engine it'd be channels. That's just one of the many things that excited me.

Noticed one of the engineers with a Purdue T-Shirt, she has to be a very good engineer then as Purdue is one of the preeminent Rocket engineering schools, along with MIT and Vandy, among others. Had a hand in helping mentor students along the way with NASA USLI for those schools, over the years, and the projects were mind blowing for an old time (50 years plus) rocketeer's eyes. Thanks for the tour Tim!!!

Dyno testing for rocket engines, cool! My dad was a race engine builder. This brings back memories of watching V8 race engines on his dyno test cell. The biggest engines we did were 540 CID twin turbo Chevy big blocks making about 1200 HP for off shore racing/pleasure boats. Our test area was outdoors, like the test areas in the video.

@biplaneflights 7 месяцев назад

Thanks Tim for another great video but also a HUGE thanks to Ursa Major for sharing details of their engines and giving Tim the opportunity to help build a rocket engine - VERY cool. Also impressive is that Ursa Major shared their failure footage to show that, to make a good engine, you have to find the weaknesses, improve the design and keep testing until you have reliability. Ursa Major have a team they can be proud of.

I also really liked the clips throughout, they added a lot! Your SLS reaction always brings a smile to my face.
