Not to be a downer, but it looks like one of the least stable flights I’ve seen from Joe.
Imagine telling nasa to land a fricking solid rocked booster.. You are just amazing
Do you plan on working for the big space companies someday, these rockets like a resume?
BPS in 2030:
Roger M – Flight 7, Moon free orbit + return
This is truly amazing, already many magnitudes better than any echo flight you had. You are certainly evolving!
Wow cool rocket! I’m just started getting into rocketry
while the controls are all cool
you’ll never do this well with solids. you had a good touchdown but it’ll always lift off again.
What you have accomplished is truly amazing.
Make the reaction control wheel into a fan with vectored vents above and below so it can eventually cancel out the momentum it builds up?
Fantastic work. I would suggest you focus more on the landing gear, in particular adding damping. This will dramatically widen your allowable landing envelope.
the airbake deployment in parallel with the ascent motor ejection looked so cool! how many hours does it take to program these types of flights? this thing will land!
Now this is the best part of my day!
Love your rockets and nice to see the pads opening up while landing
That solid rocket motor ejecting looks so cool. Never really get to see that on normal model rockets since it helps eject the parachute
I think we have to do something with center of gravity.
And also with heart of rocket that is AVA
You must use a single truster instead of using two i.e. motor.
I like how he said there isn’t much practical use for it but that’s literally every model rocket ever.
Your reminding me of all the words I heard back in my FRC days… props!
Also I love the soldering on the altium mcus on ava, it screams home made (aka my soldering)
That was just a complicated way of saying momentum=mass*velocity
Good stuff man, you better be makin big ones in a few years.
I really like the music you use in these, you make that too right?
I just wanna know how much all this costs lmfao 🤣
You’ve come so far, but it feels like still a long road ahead
It’s hard ,it’s complicated but for rocket lovers like you and me it’s amazing .
Congrats Joe
Could you make longer/wider when deployed, legs? Maybe almost as long folded up as the length of the rocket…
For those of you getting this recommended now, this is a culmination of 1 1/2 year (for as long as I’ve been around, with more before that). This man is a genius, and he take failures as wins.
Every video you make raises our rocket IQ. Thank you Joe!
Yea I think you’re just gonna have to design a way to throttle or this will keep going up at the last second.
wow you’ve done a ton of work since your last video, this project is unreal
It would be GREAT to know how you write all those programs and how did you learn all those things about microprocessors 😄❤️🇮🇳
you need to get some of the bounce out of your landing legs! add some springs or something.
Man, imagine if you went to school for aerospace engineering instead of audio engineering, bps would already be in space
Great, ready for nasa contract for upcoming mars mission
Great explanation and video. Persistence pays and you’ve got it in spades. You’ll get there.
My brain just grew x2, just from watching this video👍 keep it up bro!
Dude, this is absolutely crazy! I’m a highschool STEM student and I hope to do this one day.
I am very much looking forward to that engineering supercut!
Love seeing your progress! You have such a cool job
It’s 1:26 minutes in and I’m still smiling. Wow, stand by.
That’s an impressively smooth attitude control on that one.
Incredible video! I’ve been following you for a long time and I get so much joy from your content.
The more hardcore the engineering details the better.

That’s so good!! I happy for ya bud keep up the awesome work rc-lon haha
I have a question? Is it possible to use thin PVC pipe for the rocket body to give it more stuffiness than cardboard (the light PVC pipes)
Awesome. You’ve come along way in the past few years. I don’t understand most of it but it’s impressive. Lol
Everytime I watch your videos I miss my old job where I worked on a software similar to Simulink.
The ramp up of complexity on your projects is astounding and awe inspiring!
Bro this is so awesome…I really love what you do and I aspire to be atleast a fraction of your genius and make my own launch vehicles..
Dude this is absolutely amazing! I found my new video to go for when I need some inspiration and motivation haha. Thanks so much for the fantastic videos and awesome documentation!
It’s great watching these vids. So close! I always enjoy these explanations. Always captures my attention.
I just wanna know that the function PartyTime(); does
Been waiting for this for so long. Great job with the launch!
This was straight engineering porn. Amazing job there!!

North Korea: so you said 3 different processors, interesting…
This is amazing. Really enjoyed it and your overview
Just setting up that test system you have must be an insane amount of work. I cant believe that it’s just a side project compared to the rest.
Hello random person scrolling through the comment section.
Have a great day and stay safe from covid-19.
I‘d love to see a class from you teaching all of your knowledge about Building, modeling and Controlling model rockets.
I recommend Concrete surface for landing rockets.
Amazing work. The amount of science involved is mind blowing.
4:23 Love that piece of code.
It’s pure art!
Is it possible to do a grid fin design when you start going higher for more precise landings?
Really awesome, I’m impressed you could land it so well with a solid fuel rocket!
So Close!!!! Love your content! Do you still do live streams or have I missed them? Take care. Stay safe.
I see a new rocket launch every time I open YouTube now.
This is amazing. Would an IMU be able to detect the Y movement more than the GPS?
Watching this project progress is awesome! You’re getting so close, keep it up and I know you’ll get it
That’s a complicated way of doing what we pilots call an S turn! Although we usually do it to lose altitude or speed not thrust. But hey, I guess energy is energy.
Joe. I’m astounded. The way you’ve put all of this together from all your past experiences and almost landed on the first attempt is amazing.
What study program was chosen to be studied in order to make modeling, assemble electronics like him?
Been following you for a while now and I’m still genuinely impressed every time. Keep it up!
That is so cool! I really love these developments, and it’ll be such a site when it lands itself. I really hope that you can fix the landing issue. Anyways, great job!
POG IN THE CHAT EVERYONE
That was incredibly close!!!! Congrats
Oh my God! This is SO AMAZING!!
Thank you for making my dream come true to take me to the moon in a couple of years! No pressure ;-).
And I love the „uh-Oh = 1“.
This is incredible!! Great work and good luck with future flights!! (Nice sweatshirt btw it’s one of my favs 😉)
Jeez man! I know nothing about rockets or math but I’m able to basically follow all the way through with a reasonable amount of comprehension. You’re really a phenomenal communicator and I, for one, appreciate you.
When you land one, I’ll be waiting for “How Not to Land a Model Rocket Booster”
Bro I just realized that I have been watching this channel for 2 years. Keep it up Joe!
wow thats insane congrats, I can final appreciate how hard this is.
Discord gang
I think this my favorite video on YouTube. Again you are probably more qualified than me TBH. I’ll be landing here too, give me about 3 more years…..
This is incredible work! I’m so glad I’ve been following you for the last few years seeing you progress to this point. I can’t wait for your next attempt!
Everything about this flight screams “abrupt chaos”
Great timing for the todays star link mission
Keep it up brotherman! At 16:37 we see Joe’s YouTube suggestions, feels good that he also gets SpaceX, Matt Lowne, and Scott Manley thru the algorithm.
When you accidentally tap the hook on the electric thing and it buzzes and you have to start again.
I’m just here for the algorithm
BIG CONGRATS TO JOEY!
I cant imagine how hard it is to do something like this
Poggers in chat boys!
Amazing!
The entire time the motor ejected out, and the rocket was about to land, my heart didn’t beat once.
SpaceX number of employees: 8000
BPS: a couple of blokes.
I’d say you’re kicking serious ass.
hd cameras usualy emit rf that may mess with gps antenna and data signals onboard. distance and copper foil usualy help.
Everyone: “You can’t land a rocket with a solid motor!”
Joe: “Hold my black powder and watch this.”
Everyone: noooo u can’t propulsively land with solid motors!!!1!1!!
Joe: haha sine wave diverter go brrrrrrr
This literally the coolest thing I’ve ever seen. It will land one day Joe, one day. I just know it.
I think this is the most complex project I have seen on YouTube it’s incredible. Can’t wait to see it land on a model barge on a lake!
When you are about to land a bottle flip but your then friend hits it over
You are a small scale engineering GOD.
Shout out to faking this whole thing @ 1:14
(i keyframed a mask over the same shot at two different times so it looks like we have two rockets)
