Everyday Astronaut

Everyday Astronaut

Rocket science. A term we all use to describe something incredibly difficult. Trying to grasp all of the concepts involved in rocket science can be incredibly intimidating.

My name’s Tim Dodd but I'm better known as the Everyday Astronaut. Recently I fell head over heels in love with spaceflight. My appreciation and curiosity for the subject grew into an obsession. Before you knew it, all I wanted to do was learn more and more... the more I learned, the more I wanted to share what was making me so excited.

But as someone who dropped out of college and has no technical background or degree… I really felt unqualified for the job of explaining rocket science to anyone. But the fact of the matter is, if I can learn this stuff, anyone can.

Rocket science is awesome, and you don’t need to be a rocket scientist to be excited.

Everyday Astronaut. Bringing space down to Earth for everyday people.

    I drove 4 hours to Stratton, ME. It was clear as a bell and spectacular. It was my second one, went to Tennessee for it on Aug 21, 2017.

    Three years later: Virgin Orbit is bankrupt, Astra is no longer launching rockets, and Relativity abandoned Terran-1 after a single launch attempt. Meanwhile, Electron has launched 48 times (with 2-3 more scheduled for the next month), Firefly Alpha has launched four times (with another two in 2024 if all goes well), and ABL RS1 once (with another launch hopefully happening in 2024). Of the "too cool to not mention"s, Launcher...no longer launches (they were acquired by a space station company), and the Scottish companies have both yet to launch (although they may do so within a year or two). Seems like the answer to the video's title is pretty clear.

    Okay, but what if we'd pave a road to the top of Mount Everest and launch a rocket from there? 6:59

    I think that Spinlaunch would benefit the most from building their facility atop a mountain. They don't "just" accelerate through the atmosphere, they launch at full speed, so the lower altitude atmosphere must hit them pretty hard. Kilimanjaro seems like a nice location, almost 6km high and just 3° south. Also their rockets aren't that big, since their first stage is the spinner on the ground, so the shipping cost might not be that atrocious as for other companies

    RFA going the Atlas/SpaceX route. Not a bad decision tbh. Stainless is cheap and sturdy - that would be why Starship is made out of the stuff too. Edit: I just love RFA's attitude about this. "There's all this experience out there, how about we tap into that? Companies already make hundreds of thousands of cars a year, why don't we let them do a lot of the work, instead of hurting our heads trying to figure out how to do things?"

    The Apollo 1 astronauts died from inhaling toxic smoke venting into their life support system. Their space suits protected their bodies from the flames' heat. Even if both astronauts were engulfed in oxygen enriched flames during the ejection, their suits will keep them safe enough to pass through the flames. Perhaps just their top layers would be charred.

    Both have incredibly intelligent ways of going about it. RFA has it right to leverage the incredible manufacturing already present in other industries but only if they make the correct concessions and override their algorithm when necessary. For now the most recent thing I can find about them is from March saying that their flight has been delayed. ISAR's taking a huge risk, the investment of resources and time to create a production line that works with all the other companies gunning for the same pot is immense. But yeah, vertical integration can be incredibly powerful when competitors don't. But again, not knowing where to make concessions limits flexibility and cost benefits. Even Apple, the paragon of Vertical integration in tech doesn't make 100% of their devices if someone else can make it better at the scales they need.
