I just love how excited Wren is about this and the solar system one, teaching scientific realities It's why when he had to do graphics for that flat Earth bullshit he was just like..... Seriously..? I don't want to condone that to impressionable kids, it's no different than a cult, teaching kids the world is on a turtle, or a cube, or geocentric theory
The true next evolution of space exploration though is a space elevator. Carbon nanotube wire connected to a seagoing platform and a huge rock way out in orbit Then we have solar powered platforms going up and down constantly, getting WAY more material up in space for way cheaper, and then construct our vehicles in space
Top notch video. I love everything about it, from pacing, to cool motion tracked VFX shots, to cool looking typography. Very informative too, and although I could imagine size of the rocket, it's easy to forget sometimes and this is nice reminder. I especially loved the shot with statue of liberty because I kinda forgot about it's scale. Good job Wren, and rest of the Corridor Crew.
I used to clean the building where they assembled the boosters freaking huge sadly its was all rusted and hasnt been used in decades except a few offices in the front now its been destroyed
I would think it could be really cool if you tried to do an explanation video on all sorts of other things! so for instance, how the camera's work or maybe other interesting things like that! you could still use 3D models as a sort of blow out visual representation of all the parts. personally i'd absolutely love it if you were to get in touch with one wheel to show us all how the one wheel works! it would be a good opportunity for you to make a video about something you are passionate about. good luck for future videos!!
A re-make of powers of 10! Or 3D visualisation of all the electromagnetic waves around us all the time like radio, cell phones, and wi-fi. Or something to do with scale and biomechanics like the relative strength of an ant. Hey it could be an ant man tie in.
The relative scale idea really works so I'd suggest more along those lines. Maybe taking other large objects and placing them in fun and amusing locations. The educational element is essential though.
Statistics, urbanistics, economics - something that has stats and data people find hard to wrap their heads around, and you can visualy represent in a creative way. Also, maybe you should colaborate with some YT science channel, even some smaller one?
there is a yt tutorial on how to start camera tracking ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kzym73lhmD4.html is surprisingly simple to start bus as many things are hard to master. 2:25 there is some drifting as the track wasn't perfect
The amount of custom VFX work for a science explanation video would be enormous! A big part of what we see here is probably open source 3d drawings and stuff. Doing all of it would be to much for little Wren!
im going to be honest. Wren you should start a separate channel where you do videos kinda like a vsauce or veritasium. You speak well when talking about something youre passionate about. this video was very interesting and you was able to follow everything you were saying and thanks for putting it into perspective for us.
Sumanitu the BFS was the top portion of the BFR. Bottom= SuperHeavy and Top= BFS. Put together it was BFR. Now it’s just SuperHeavy and Starship. Not sure go watch Everyday Astronaut
- cparker3692 - yes, watch the guy that mixed up prograde vs retrograde several times. No thanks. Not saying what you are saying might not be true, but I definitely don't trust that channel. Edit: here's a video where EDA calls it the BFS ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gbbBJ3CqsTE.html
My god, those wrenders, HMMM I can TASTE the epicness from HERE! WOOOO! *GO SPACEX GOOOO!* Nice job Wren! That was so cool and informative to watch! :D
The whole rocket doesn't reach that speed. You cannot bring a lot of cargo and have a rocket that gets to orbit in a single piece. So you build a series of of rockets the lowest is a big heavy lifter that gets it off the ground to maybe Mach 5-7 and 50 km altitude, then it breaks off and a smaller rocket remains now lighter with a full tank and a smaller more efficient engine accelerates it in vacuum. The Falcon 9 does this in a two stage manner, the lower part with the landing legs and fins gets it up to about a hundred km at Mach 7 out of the atmosphere and moving sideways at a good speed and then it's basically empty, drops off and leaves the much lighter second stage with only a single instead of 9 Merlin engines to accelerate in space to Mach 24-36 (missions to high orbits or the moon need quite a bit more speed than low earth orbit). Unlike any other rocket ever built the first stage with the heavy (and expensive) engines doesn't crash into the ocean but flips around, powers its engines back putting it on a return trajectory, reenters the atmosphere and lands on ships or back at land depending how much fuel they got left after the mission, ready to be launched again. This is why people hope SpaceX will be able to reduce the cost of spaceflight from hundreds of millions to mere thousands, by perfecting reusability.
It's December 2020 - We just had an amazing first test flight of the Starship SN8 (previously known as BFR). Thanks for this video, and looking forward to an updated episode with the full Starship and Super Heavy booster.
yeah young bill nye was great, as soon as he became political he became irrelevant. 2 things you never discuss in public without distroying your reputation, religion and politics.
Now that starship proved it can skydive, it's even more important that people realise how big this is. So would it be possible to put into perspective how heavy and big this metal building is when it's skydiving? It weighed 540ton fully loaded when launching and weighed about 120 tons empty, so maybe 140tons when skydiving from 12km high.
1:30 Mike's Friend: Hey Mike, can I use one of your rockets? I'm late. Mike: Go ahead mate. Please take one of the two Falcon Heavys lying around in the patio. Mike's Friend: Cheers mate.
As a Canadian, I use the Ottawa Parliament Tower as a comparison of how big a space rocket can get. A Saturn V, Atrimus and Starship are all bigger. The launch platform Starship sits on is bigger and taller than the entire Parliament chambers of Ottawa.
That might be more accurate. Cringy seems like a bit of an insult, which it absolutely isn't meant to be. It felt like it wasn't aimed at my demographic. Comparing it to the old Bill Nye is a great comparison.
"Go Up... and Fall Around the Earth" that tell everything... Heheheh Fall around the earth, Danm... and I don't take plane for me foot print on earth... 😉🌱
The latest iteration of the BFR - simply known as *Starship* - is actually bigger and more powerful than the illustrious Saturn 5, making the new SpaceX rocket the biggest, most powerful ever made.
You know I've been watching you guys for years now, and I just want to say how much I appreciate all of you for continually evolving and creating an engaging channel where I actually feel like I'm learning something every day. I really hope you guys never stop and if I have kids some day that we can watch this together.
Damn this was really nice. I can see what you're going for, kind of a fast paced, visually interesting science summary that keeps the viewer's attention while also being kinda mind blowing and really informative. Awesome vfx work, and very well written IMO. Keep up the good work, Wren! (And the rest of the guys!)
I’m glad y’all appreciate rockets, I’ve lived on the space coast of Florida my whole life, and every time there’s a rocket launch, I get sooo excited to go watch. But it seems like most of the people I know just don’t seem to care! They don’t even care about the incredible treasure that they get to live to! Oh well😂
@@hugoyoung4890 He actually named it big fucking rocket at first. He just changed it later to big falcon rocket when it got more official. Now he's changed the name to Starship.
Not sure if the falcon 9 was in place at the time of the video but if you are in Southern California you can go to the Space X building in hawthorn and see a falcon 9 rocket outside on display.
