Hey Destin!! Fantastic video as always. I’m one of Blue Origin’s propulsion test engineers responsible for testing BE4 in that horizontal configuration you and Tory were talking about. I’ve been watching SmarterEveryDay since way back in highschool and I’d say your videos have been a huge inspiration and have had a direct contribution to me being where I am now. I really appreciate you putting in footage of XEEx-BE4’s horizontal stand in Texas-as it made the highschool part of me freak out seeing our test stand in a SED video! All that aside, I’ve been noticing your focus on a lot of aerospace and space videos recently. Would love to chat sometime and maybe explore the possibility of getting you down here to see a BE4 test! 😎

If you compare with Veritasium (no shade to Derek), it's absolutely night and day with how Destin approaches, questions, and probes with certain specific questions that shows he's paying genuine attention. Sorry you probably didn't expect this kind of reply but I had to point out Destin's people skills, they're amazing.

8:01 "You worked James Webb, right? Outstanding." What a moment! I know your dad doesn't do what he does for the notoriety. But to have someone (and an authority in that field, no less) see and acknowledge his contribution must have felt pretty special.

We've lost "balance" in the economy when finance (which should legitimately be a means to an end) becomes and end in itself.

​@@mstrdiverIt is really cool isn't it? Hehe. Most manufacturers use fuel for cooling in their engine nozzles (or driving turbo pumps) and other parts of the rocket.

Some more examples of the same or similar systems is Stoke using liquid hydrogen to cool their 2nd stage reentry heat shield or SpaceX using Kerosene as a working fluid for the hydrologic system in F9's grid fins. Aerospace engineers are just something else. I am sure there are many more examples of this in practice; these are just the ones that I can think of off the top of my head.

I can really feel Tory's enthusiasm and your own, Destin. I've been watching this with a massive smile on my face. I wish I could've been present for this conversation. I'm a physicist by training, I understand rockets from this perspective, but I don't know a lot of the gritty details like manufacturing choices, material selection and so on. I particularly enjoyed that point about the surprising advantages of using additive manufacturing for the cooling channels. I would never have known the surface texture of AM can lead to turbulent flow, and that that is better than laminar flow for heat transfer. Tory is a nerd's nerd, and as open a book as he's allowed to be. This video really made my day. Thanks!

Destin this was fantastic! Thank you for your ongoing work. I was very excited to hear about how they were using additive manufcacturing for the thruster coolant!

I think the thing I love about this interview, is Tory probably does a lot of interviews with people who don’t have the depth of understanding like you do, Destin. So it took a few minutes for him to warm up, but once you started asking pointed questions and speaking to a common level of technical understanding, you could see his guard let down and he had to almost actively start holding back on how much he said. He wanted to go into all the nitty gritty details, but obviously as CEO (and probably for ITAR reasons as well) couldn’t. Absolutely stunning interview, and as a fellow rocket nerd who used to work for the OTHER big rocket company, I thank you for making us feel like we were part of a conversation between two enthusiasts!

Some really powerful thrusting going on there.

The way you admire and talk about your dad, Destin (not just in this video). It made me think. That is how you know you did right as a parent and it definitely inspires me to be the best version of myself for my son.

Thank you so much for this piece. I grew up with a highly enthusiastic engineer father who ran his own company selling systems integrating his own inventions to all sorts of outfits doing all sorts of things and there's nothing so charming as listening to engineers enthuse about creative solutions to interesting problems! My dad took me to Epcot Center, too, shortly after it first opened. This video was special to me.

I gotta say I gained a lot of respect for Tory after your last video featuring him, and now this video he totally lives up to it. Seems like a great guy who cares a lot 👍

I know everyone else said it too but I gotta say. Tory asking for a picture with your Dad and knowing he worked JW is awesome.

My Dad took the little kid me to Disneyland around 1980. I also haven’t forgot those memories. Dad has been gone for 19 years now and I would love to go back with him one more time. Thank you Desten for everything.

Destin, I am a senior in high school and I lived in Huntsville for a period of my life. I remember spending a week at space camp and seeing a video where you were standing in front of the black plane that goes super-sonic and thinking to myself “wow, someone this smart is just like me, standing next to a fast plane needing out” I remember your previous video with Tori and it was one of my favorite. You recently asked on twitter what we felt about long form content and I mentioned Tori specifically as an example of a long form video that was amazing from start to finish and here is another fabulous video with Tori. Please keep doing what you do Destin, you have helped me maintain not just a passion for space, but importantly a passion for learning. I am now going into my first year as a computer science student and I absolutely have you to thank for wanting to continue learning. Thankyou, Destin. You are an inspiration and I just want you to know that you have impacted my life in a way nobody else has. If you ever struggle to put a video up, remember that you truly make a difference and my life is much better having seen your passion and knowledge.

One of the important thing I like in your video is that you are humble. You don’t do videos just for the heck of it but truly interested in learning. Nice to see how much you love your dad.

Destin, your videos are always amazing. This one especially tugged on my heartstrings with the photo of your dad and seeing how much the two of you look like identical twins. My son and I have that same characteristic, and we are planning our trip for some time this year to see a launch together. Being from Gadsden just down the road from you, I loved growing up so close to Huntsville and Canaveral. It made me feel as though I was truly connected with our space programs. Hopefully, we will be seeing more adventures with you and your dad. Thank you for all that you do. ❤

Your excitement in all of these videos is palatable! And that's actually (for me) the best part of them! Thanks for all you do!

The ULA rocket factory tour is my FAVORITE video you’ve done! Rewatched that one a bunch! Now there’s another to add to the list

Tory is just the best. It brings me great joy whenever I see you two interact.

Thank you for bringing your dad along on such a wonderful trip. I wish I could have done more things like this with mine.

The rocket is cool. The fact that you still get to experience and film these things with your dad is full on legit! Cherish these times.

Tory Bruno is a gift to all of aerospace! So grateful you took us on this journey with such and amazing person and rocket. Thanks Destin!

ULA needs to sell those hard hats!! I know about 2000 guys who would buy one YESTERDAY-mostly in oil fields, but anyone who’s dealing with sun and overhead objects needs this. They should also be made in blaze orange and safety yellow with 3M retro reflective beads.

27:21 I love the banter you guys have. So down-to-earth and clearly kindred nerd spirits. It's all over the video but this moment right here is the highlight. And the fact that he made a reference to Destin's past videos about laminar and turbulent flow just shows how much of a standup guy he is making sure he knows about the people he talks to.

I'm so glad you had the opportunity to follow up with this rocket. The video, into the construction, is one of my favourites.

I love it when people get into the details of things like this, and especially unimpeded access (to a point) where you can get up close and personal with a rocket on the pad. I'd consider that a once in a lifetime opportunity, but I'd be wanting to speak to Tory about stuff like this a lot more often, because he has the interest, the info and the calm demeanor to keep you interested in the topic. "You worked on James Webb, right? Outstanding." kudos to dad too.

The fact that you are so well versed on the topics being discussed blows my mind. And Troy’s response at 27:22 supports that point.

Yes, Tory's big smile there highlights his enjoyment of the entire interview - he gets to enjoy a conversation with a knowledgeable fellow nerd. Much better than the kind of "standard interview" Tory has to endure. And of course it leads to a much better and more informative video.

I love that you got to share this experience with your dad. Even more so, have it recorded. That’s one of the things I miss most about not having my dad around. Sharing cool experiences with him. And forgetting the stories he told a thousand times.

This has to be one of my favorite videos that you have put out. It was so clear and made sense to me as you both spoke. I learned so much in such a short time. Thank you!

This is quite possibly the best video I've ever watched on KZread. So much enthusiasm all around, and everything explained in terms "normal" people can understand. Tory certainly seemed like a decent down to Earth sort of chap (ironic being down to Earth and building space rockets?) taking time for your Dad too was a really nice touch. I cant think of any other CEO who would have taken that much time and trouble like that.

That was a really cool video! I think the ability of incredibly smart people to explain complex systems to a non expert audience in simple terms without glossing over specific details is a hugely underappreciated skill, and Tory is an expert at that!

I watch these videos with awe and fascination, I try to understand but I feel most of it goes over my head. Just hearing two people so giddy about discussing this topic brings me joy!

When my sons grow up I hope they enjoy hanging out with me as much as you do your dad 🙂. Thanks for this amazing tour and launch.

There’s only a handful of people I could listen to all day. Tory is one. Thanks for capturing this wonderful interview.

The fact that your dad is a legend is unreal! The fact that you can go with him to these events is just simply amazing! Amazing video Destin! Love It!

Great video as always Destin! I love the way you integrate sentimental bits into these videos about technology

Wow, Destin. Your videos, including this one, are packed full of information, but knowing that you got to do all of this with your dad brought me to tears. I lost my dad in 1989 when I was 11. He'd be amazed at today's technology, and I know he'd love your videos as much as I do.

Dude this was probably my favourite SED video yet. So awesome to just hear two super smart people talk about super cool stuff! Well done Destin!

That final shot of the rocket when it's pierced the clouds and shining light through them from above, that is insanely beautiful

it is admirable the amount of knowledge and humbleness presented here. It also a blessing to have people like them willing to share so much experience. I really appreciate your videos. Excellent learning experience that give us hope and inspiration.

I’m happy for you that you were able to experience the tour and the launch. I’m happier for you that you got to share that experience with your father.

Hey Destin. This was incredible to watch. The video you made a few years ago, touring the Decatur factory with Tory, is what inspired me to apply to ULA. I now work as an engineer at ULA on the Vulcan development team. Your videos make me proud to be an engineer. Thank you for what you do.

[12:20] "Water is, almost, the best acoustic-" *water droplet lands on lens* "-energy absorbing material you can have." You can't make this stuphup! Many appreciations, Destin, for the Daily smart-gems.

Thank you for sharing this experience you had with your Dad. Take advantage of every chance you get. I lost my Dad last month and regret that I wasn't able to do more things with him.

Your ability to educate and inspire is outstanding. I loved the footage of the launch and the music.

I would watch any length video of you, Tory, and your dad talking rockets. Amazing video. Every since the first ULA video I couldnt wait for another.

This may be one of my favorite videos you've ever made. No idea why it isn't blowing up more. Tory is awesome. Footage is awesome. Slow mo shots are awesome. Video is just straight awesome.

I'm wrapping up my (third try at my) first year of college now at 40 years old in large part because of the inspiration I get from this channel. Thank you, Destin. Maybe in three or four years I'll be able to land a job at ULA. Here's hoping.

In three years there will no longer be a ULA, it will have been bought by then (probably by Blue Origin), but you can still get a job working on Vulcan, that rocket has payloads scheduled to launch all the way into the 2030s (mostly Amazon Kuiper internet satellites).

This Tory guy does come across as a very chill cool dude!

That closing shot into the clouds was majestic. Great video, so informative and lots of aerospace science over my head but cool to hear.

this is such an incredible video. Thank you so much for this kind of content. Really looking forward to the in-depth discussion of cyrofueling

love it when tech-nerds go full nerd on each other and the genuine love for their tech gets them where no script ever would have..the fun is jumping of the screen, love it.

By the way, after having watched the in-depth video about the Saturn V in Huntsville, I made sure to drive the three hours from Atlanta on a day trip during a recent visit to the States. It was spectacular to see the rocket in person! Thanks, Destin, for the inspiration.

Informed humble approachable wonder is what we love so much about your personality. We get to learn along side you no matter our or your level of expertise. You take us on a journey to that same wonder. Bravo Destin and what a cool thing to see that rocket pre first flight and even cooler to see an industry titan give your dad a super cool, and deserved, pat on the back. It’s always a blessing to watch your material. Long time Patreon supporter and I have zero want to do anything but continue my support of what you are doing. Bravo and God Bless!!

This was a really cool interview Destin, thanks for sharing!

Thanks Destin and Denstin's Dad for this story so wonderfully explained. I truly enjoyed listening to Tory! What an amazing person and a privilege to have him tell the story on the design.

Two smart people geeking out over rocket engines. What a treat!!!

Love the dynamics between Dustin and Tory. Tory is so open and helpful too. A wonderful video to watch.

Image quality in this one really hit me! I'm playing back in 1080p, yet detail is superb, and noise is low even in that low light setting. Very nice!
