Tory's New VULCAN ROCKET (Talking Technical Rocket Specs for 30 minutes) - Smarter Every Day 297

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!

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

Austin Burnham

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

Ryan Massey

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?

Michael F

best rocket nerd video I've seen in months.

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

Nathan Hung

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

Michael Bent

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.

Nate Bell

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.

Mike Waldrop

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

Mary Wolfe

Amazing video. Keep it up!

Nathan Taylor

Thanks for sharing this. My dad and I have wanted to see a large launch, but have yet to make it. This reminded me that I need to set some time for us to do that.

Andrew Krob

Had to make some popcorn for this one 🍿

Jonathan Boring

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

Erin Eldridge

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.

Jack

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

WillieChaffin

Absolutely fascinating, as always.

Rick Corbitt

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.

Dave Ryan

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

JD Mather

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

Evan Bunke

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