Top Comments of this video!! :3
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! 😎

The moment that Tory was taking a picture with Destins dad and turned to him and asked, "You worked on James Webb, right?" and he humbly replied with a simple "Yeah." and Tory just said, "Outstanding." was so hardcore. Seeing two titans like that paying mutual respect with such a simple exchange was so cool.

Hey, that’s my booster! Im the team supervisor for the mix facilities that make all the solid rocket propellant for the gem 63! I get to mix it and watch it be casted! There’s a lot of love in that motor and to have it showcased on your channel in such an awe inspiring way is deeply fulfilling! THANK YOU DESTIN!!!!

35:05 "It meant even more because I was watching it with my dad." Legitimately got emotional at this

Destin, one thing that not a lot of people talk about with your videos is the thoughtful editing. As a viewer, I feel so considered by every tiny detail, from the cuts to the angles to the music to the text on screen. It's a beautifully curated experience that makes me feel appreciated, and I appreciate that a lot.

27:15 I love Tory and that he remembered your fascination with laminar flow

I first found SmarterEveryDay when I was a junior in high school getting ready to apply to engineering school. The summer between my sophomore and junior year of college was when Destin made the video on SLC-37 for the Delta IV Heavy launching PSP. And now I’m a launch engineer with ULA at the Cape, and I’ve gotten to work this launch, half a dozen Atlases, as well as the last 3 Deltas. What a dream come true my career has been so far, and I wouldn’t be here at all without videos like these. Thank you Destin!

27:19 I loved the callback with the "I forgot your fascination with laminar and turbulent flow." Destin is famous even among rocket scientists!

I was super impressed with Tory in the last video, and that just continues to increase. Take an immense knowledge base, wide-ranging expertise, the ability to talk about it at ANY level, and add incredibly engaging and infectious child-like wonder and enthusiasm, and you have a man who is as awe-inspiring as his field. Tory and ULA make me wish I were a young aerospace engineer.

We're talking about a guy who is worth millions, and has a schedule that's probably timed to the minute. Yet he seems to have time to enjoy smarter everyday videos.. haha I genuinely like this guy. I had a few brushes with CEOs of big companies, and they more often than not sounded very corporate and detached. For a guy launching rockets, he sounds so grounded (pun intended)

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.

I absolutely love the mutual respect and love for engineering.
"Is that inconel?", I'm probably not supposed to tell you... (with a subtle maybe in the voice) "Well i'm an aerospace engineer, and that looks like Inconel" and Tory just laughs knowing he's right but can't actually state it officially.
The entire video just makes me think Tory is one of the coolest guys the hang around with and clearly has so much passion for what he does. I'm pretty sure you could pick his brain all day on rocketry and he'll happily go through every bit.

We're very close to being the same age, and I lost my dad to some stupid accident 1.5y ago at the tender age of 71. We had planned to do soooo much more together, but it all was cut short. I'm so glad that people as kind and genuine as you and your dad can make such incredible memories and tell each other so many things worth telling and be shared man. For all the truly amazing things you guys go through, I really mostly envy you for being able to just do cool stuff together and share it.
Please have TONS more of these moments! You guys are so sweet.
