This one was a wild ride. Now go get your dang Build Box in time for Christmas and let's make some cool stuff together. https://crunchlabs.com

You are the best dude keep up the amazing work! 👍👍👍

heck yeah!

Instead of steerable fins (that impart a rotation) how about 4 trim tabs perhaps 1cm wide and 2 cm high mounted, top hinged (maybe cut into) the fuselage and mounted between the now fixed fins? Individually controlled. Pushing the lower edge of one tab into the airflow would push the engine end sideways without imparting rotation.

kinda keen. 5 million views in less than 10 hours wow.

Mark! You should put the eggs in acrylic and make a plaque

I especially like the part where you finally realize you're trying to make a precision guided missile, and the acknowledgment that those who know.... Literally cannot help you.

Can you answer in more detail?

If he can make it happen as precision guided missile, his networth will 10 fold.

I sure bet those ukrainians would have liked to know! No more duct taping smartphones into RC planes that are 3D printed LOL

I like it.

This moment made me put down my phone and get help from laughing too hard, followed by a long moment wondering about "forbidden knowledge" in the US and how Mark almost accidentally discovered some.

This is really crazy. Mark, your friends are the coolest and you are the coolest guy in YouTube. It's an admirable feat y'all have done even if it's something you didn't expect to go along your way but the egg survived!

This is highly educational!👍👍👍🐜🐜🐜

woah didnt expect to see you here

did the egg get coocked inside or was it not hot enough to cook?

They were only going about supersonic (~340 m/s) and objects start to burn up around mach 5 (~1700 m/s). The egg probably heated up more from the heating implement than friction heat.

I myself am in the space industry and I know personally what it’s like to fail, and I loved how you kept going even if you failed and persevered throughout the whole journey. Thanks for being an inspiration to all future engineers and current ones.

Beam me up

Send me anywhere

Send me to the diamond planet I’m aware that they can’t be sold I just want to see it for myself /j /lh

@Teresa McGinty Me too! Send me to Uranus!

send me to mercury

I love all of the trial and error. It’s fantastic to see that everything doesn’t always go to plan.

Let's talk

The fact that this was able to be edited down into 26 minutes instead of a 3 hour documentary purely for our pea sized brains is phenomenal

i loved the plant vs zombie soundtrack in the video , did anyone notice it :)

It’ll be a fried egg by the time it gets to earth great way to save on electricity

How naive to mate the two separately build rocket halves on the morning of the launch

There's no way to appreciate the time and effort required that goes into this. But nevertheless, when I see vids like this, especially from Mark, I'm completely glued to the screen and very grateful for all the work done and money well-spent. Thanks so much dude, to you and your team for your absolute TENACITY after crushing failures. You're such a blessing to the rest of us screen goons. LOVE THIS!

Mark is the only guy who accidentally make a guided missle

I really enjoyed that! Great idea.... I'd like to see more and varied balloon space missions actually.... 😎

I love how his videos are really entertaining, but he also shows lessons with his videos too.

My specialty is firearms but I feel for the expert here. How many times has someone come to me with some “great idea” and then I go “that’s at least ten years in prison”

Led me to think

@Jadon Limoges star wars refreince

@TheAdvertisement then why doesn't it specifically say what an "arm" is? By that logic the 1st doesn't apply to written or digital works and should only apply to people speaking orally.

@Comrade Everclear No, 2A does not apply to every type of firearm.

Led me to think

You guys are sooo determined… you have been with me through my whole science career… i want you to know i appreciate that… thanks 😀

I love how even after all you and your friends combined accomplishments, you all still love nerding over dropping an egg from really really high up

I love how he takes the simplest things and makes them extreme

Your video's always tell a great story while also being super informative and really show that one bit of failure is just another learning step in the proces of building something epic.

Did you or would it have been possible to hatch those eggs after launch? A true space chicken.

Common sense! Use it!

ive bought fertilised eggs from the shops before (in the uk). it happens.

@Robert Campbell theres nothing to suggest the eggs werent fertised. its perfectly possible that they were

This person doesn’t know how chicken eggs work. Chickens lay eggs but they have to be fertilized by the rooster to make a new chick

@Monica Wrong, i’m a chicken who was born after falling from spafe

imagine if it was a real baby chicken inside...

i love how honest he is with his mistakes true accountability is really refreshing

Amazing. I really want to go up to space one day. Being able to see the earth from so high must be an exhilarating experience.

Absolutely, wonderfully inspirational. I've been trying to teach my kids (12, 6, 6) to embrace failure as a blessing and opportunity. I can't wait to show my daughter this video. We watch all of Mark's videos together.

That section with Adam was hilarious, the way he pointed out that you were making a guided missile made me laugh!! So cool to be able to call someone like that too

@Connor Bradley 10:54

Could I get a timestamp?

@mdrzncan you put me in a room if i make a guided missile?

@Gun Catto They were trying to make something that can accurately deliver a payload to a specific area. If you replace the egg with a warhead, you have a “DIY” precision-guided missile.

As Warren Buffet said “The more you learn, the more you earn”. Thank you for the educating and awesome video Mark!

I love the effort he puts into this I was amazed at how he even got it into space for a second it’s crazy.

What I love is the way you do hilarious videos and spend so much time without giving up. The builds are adorable, and your videos on making them brighten 23 million people's days. I also love the way you can pivot when a problem comes up, and your creative ways of solving them. Go Mark!

The real coup de grâce is to keep a fresh egg warm and hatch it after the drop.😊 This is one of your best videos, Mark.

I think the best part of this whole video is how many times the project failed. That really shows just how much perseverance and dedication Mark has to these things.

Yes, also a great team working on his side.

im better than mark rober cry about it

like the rover?

thrice

This is awesome. I watched the entire video smiling. It has been a long while since I have seen something this amazing. The whole journey from an idea to a final touchdown with 2 unbroken eggs is inspiring. I think I want to be an engineer to build cool stuff. 😅.

The fact that he could drop an egg in space is epic!!

Such a great life experience! Congrat's guys.

Doubt you'll ever see this but a ball bearing swivel could solve your twisting issue. We used them a lot on fishing boats to prevent line twist.

I love you calling the expert: “Dude can you help us with this silly egg thing?” “Um you’re trying to make a guided missile so no” 🤣

Nah fam. Just dropping an egg. Trust me bro.

@-.- please share the number. I need to talk to bryan

@grimsdespise it was visible, they censored it sometime within 24h of release.

@-.- would he put a phone number in a shot without some tape (that wont destroy the paper)?

@Bo Chapman what technology, guided missiles exist since 1943 (the v2) and the scud (1960s tech) Is the most copied guided missile in the world

4:30 and Mark’s scream made this whole video worthwhile. Priceless 😂

The egg drop tube looks and functions hysterically like the one I made for my high school egg drop - overkill as it was just being dropped off the gym roof XD

The jumping the birds scene was AMAZING!! You rock dude.

Incredible, amazing to watch, I felt every moment alongside you all xxxxxx

The fact this one egg has traveled much higher than probably anyone watching this video will ever go is just insane

But there are other videos where anyone sends almost everything to space, iirc.

@Rager Squad the egg would need to be fertilized in order to hatch… even if it was I doubt it would survive being exposed to those temperatures

Why? Getting an egg to the edge of space is far easier - cheaper, less energy required, no safety concerns, etc

@Russ Logan get a life...

This is so cool and silly that watching that balloon finally rise for the 4th time actually made me tear up a little lol

Being a prototyper myself i must tell you how much I've enjoyed watching all your completely insane nuts brilliance!!! Gave me goosebumps + big motivation for my own next inventions. Thanks a lot ... keep being crazy.

Altitude reached was 100,100 feet (18.95 miles/ 30.51 kilometers). Congrats Mark : ) Since technically Outer Space actually begins at the Kármán line at 328,084 feet (62 miles / 100 kilometers), will you ever do a part 2 or another Space Drop Video? I just love these videos (BTW it doesn't have to be an egg).

I love that he made two ways for the egg to survive, one was super engineered, the other was wrapped in bubble wrap, and they both did not crack

"Which was surprising because Joe had definitely run through a lot of analysis and testing before coming here. So after conducting a thorough review of the footage and firmware he was able to locate and fix a single rogue negative sign in the code that seemed to be causing all the control issues" - The perfect description of my entire engineering degree

It's a classic when it comes to programming. Minor typo -> Major Failure.

Did mechanical and then got into programming later. Highly accurate.

also my entire computer science degree

*What's poppin guys, so recently I've explained why you All Better Hate my Recent upload.. because my World Record is to become the most hated youtuber to ever exist.*

What an awesome video!! So many ups and downs! But we got there in the end Mark your a blessing to humanity and for you to take your knowledge and spread it to the world 🌍🌎 is a genuine godsent gift for us all! Thanks a million!

Another great video, thanks! I’m curious, you mention the egg was hot from the drop, was it still raw inside or did it cook itself?

This was awesome. Not just science, but great life lessons. My child is 4. When he grows up, this is what I want him to do.

Epic, congratulations my friends! 💯💪

I absolutely never heard of balloons being sent to space on daily basis around the world. Thanks

Most countries send them up daily, but didnt know that they all launch at about the same time globally!

This guy took the chickens egg from under it then accidentally dropped it 😢

@Gus Sharples Sphere of influence and atmospheres are very different. What you're saying applies to the sun, which has an atmosphere that covers the solar system (memory could be hazy) and a SOI that effects neighboring systems. As far as I know Earth's magnetic field doesn't reach the moon, the Sun's does for at the inner planets (again memory hazy).

@riot Leaving the atmosphere requires reaching escape velocity, the only things on Earth with enough propulsion to do so are space rockets and some major volcanic eruptions. Orbit is essentially moving so fast you miss the ground, gas can't move that fast naturally. They "float" in the atmosphere by their weight then are pulled down by gravity.

@Howder03 It's not that it can't "break through" the atmosphere. The reason that the balloon is rising is that it is less dense than the atmosphere around it. That means that it rises, despite the fact that there is a downward force (due to gravity). When it gets to a high enough altitude, the concentration of atmospheric molecules around it will mean that the atmosphere has the same density as the balloon itself. At that point, it will stop rising, but there is no barrier. To keep moving at that point, you would need another force to overcome gravity. As there is precious little atmosphere to create a reaction force against, rockets would be the only way to go - but even then, you are not breaking through anything - there's no surface tension or anything like that.

I feel for the Expert here...means great idea💡

I really liked the build, fail, and adapt in this video, much more the life of an engineer 😀

You're all a bunch of geniuses. Thanks for the ride. Lots of fun.

By far the shortest 27 minute video I’ve ever seen! Time “flies” when you’re having fun!

I was way more emotionally invested in this video than I expected. 🤣

I love that you spent three years on this and built a rocket, but ultimately the beachball and packing peanuts worked just as well

Mark: *depressed that the rocket doesn’t work* Also mark 10 seconds later: So buy my crunch labs toys!!!

Love how there was literally eggs without chickens sitting on them in the cube next door you could have just grabbed.

Keep them coming YouTube algorithm. Glad Asmongold reacted to this channel! What a great discovery!

You have to respect the fact that 3 years of work went into this experiment. Mark’s dedication to his craft is unmatched!

Yeah it's almost like having resources (time and money specifically) allows you to dedicate yourself to something.

I can't respect that they choose to call it space, when the fact is, that the egg only went a third of the way, to the defined start of space.

True I wouldn't be patient enough lol 😂😂😂

@John Possum you don’t have to fish to know that.

Except by everyone who advanced our knowledge of the universe and took us to the next level. I’d say he’s on par with them. There are thousands every day with this level of dedication making society function, without them, we wouldn’t be on YouTube watching this or having the level of comfort we know. It’s kind of the flaw of our society with how we are quick to celebrate just one person while there are many others putting in the same time and work that get no celebration. I mean this one build is a great example of how this could not have been pulled off with just Mark, and that’s fine because to advance and do great things, we need each other. I do get your point as Mark is in the upper percentile of people doing great things and dedicated to it. I sure wish this type of thing was around in my formative years as a child.

I really like to see, that no matter how many simulations and test you run in theory, the situation in real life can always be different

The helium voice and the giant flock of birds actually made me laugh uncontrollably. Those were the funniest things I've seen today, and I'm so glad I clicked on this video, or else I wouldn't get to see those.

Thank you for making science fun and interesting

Also, just curious about when you said, " this is a hot egg." Did you check to see if it was still fully uncooked? Does the experiment count if the egg gets "hard boiled"?

Marks video here is a perfect example of "you don't lose, you learn"

... and if you can afford it, try again.

You haven't failed, if you dont give up.

Hello

I'm glad he included footage of his disappointment and frustration.

You lose but you learned. You don't want to lose something? then you will never learn.

It’s amazing how you were just trying to make a guided missile 😂

Amazing. So much technology for such a simple test. Dropping an egg.

before watching this i wonder if they calculated air resistance being smaller higher up in the air (because air is thinner upwards) when they calculated terminal velocity

Can we just take some time to appreciate the fact that this guy literally sent an egg into space?

Imagine sitting on an airplane and suddenly an egg breaks on your window...

Lol

@princejohn17 uh but it was on a beach balll and a rocket so how would it fall

@Super channel Gacha life which means there IS a chance....

@ItsAboutThatTime Id say more like 12

@grimsdespise 0.1 chance equals 10%

Just before this video I had watched Veritasium's last video, and my conclusion is, that dropping something can be a very complicated thing. 😀

I liked the part he done the “simple math for an egg” and got 75mph, that calculation was really really simple

Remember guys, three years. MORE THAN THREE YEARS for this project to come to fruition... Such tenacity. o7

Mark, don't ever grow up. I love your enthusiasm and I hope you never lose that! BTW congratulations on soft landing the omelet!

I thought that for this "EGG drop task" you get limited materials as otherwise a guy who goes to space and comes back with and egg can be the simplest solution :D

"after conducting a thorough review of the footage and firmware, he was able to locate and fix a single rogue negative sign in the code, that seemed to be causing all the control issues." that is the most coding thing ever.

I would personally just boil the eggs before the launch 😅

My question. Would the egg be hot or cold landing from space?

Quickly, someone preserve this whole egg drop story as a cave painting so future generations know what we accomplished.

The precision guided missile part was the icing on the cake lol

What is the song at 23:55

How is it more illegal than a drone returning to it's home GPS co-ordinates? Not like it's being fired from miles away at a target.

@Paul George fair enough, but that even further proves the point that mark didn't do anything wrong and monetized it

@FluffyDreg it was not stated how that’s illegal. He said it would have questionable ethics.

@Sabrina Kingsley he said it was unethical…. Not illegal

That's impressive, now make a two-egg omelet with only eggs that have been in space. Checkmate

I have recently seen a video of two guys dropping eggs onto grass with drones. The eggs were dropped with nothing attached and when dropped on grass, they didn’t break. I think they went as high as 300 feet? I was curious on your thoughts on this and wondered what the height would have to be to break the egg. I don’t remember if they hit terminal velocity, but I thought the correlation between these two videos were interesting. Love the videos.

I lost it when he realised he’s almost making a missile guided system

Smoothest transition from heartbreaking failure to a mercy plug 😂

I am halfway through this and just amazed and grateful and inspired by Mark and his tenacity and the amazingly high quality of his content. This is the kind of stuff we should be watching and creating! Thank you Mark for your heart and your amazing channel!

best part was timemark 22:58 sure looks pretty straight and level...and timemark 22:52 looks real curvy strange huh?

Nice that you are starting your own business to advertise on your own channel! It’s great to get kids learning more STEM topics with some hands on activities. Surprised other YouTubers aren’t taking a similar approach!

You said it dude ..buoyancy and density …love the anti gravity bag for life too…genius 🥱

This guy teaches more science than my science teacher.

Teacher: you lost the egg drop competition Mark: and I took that personally

It's insane to realize halfway that what they were trying to make so hard, essentially covered the basics for a Kinetic Orbital Strike weapon.

Although those orbital kinetic weapons get much of their energy from the orbital velocity they travel at, as if it was just dropped from a balloon from the stratosphere it wouldn’t hit the ground any harder than it would at a couple thousand feet.

@TV You cant reach orbit as 'orbit' is not a specific altitude. Wrong terminology.

The egg did not even get close to space. It only went a third of the way to the defined start of space.

@arjun gutta - It's not able to get to any orbit. It's not even going anywhere near space.

@Timestamp Tiffany - You sound like the type of person, who can't handle being wrong.

I find it absolutely hilarious that you posted this during an egg shortage! 😂 😂 😂

Amazing work thanks 🙏

As they say... Hard work Pays off... A wonderful video indeed ❤.

I’m definitely gonna invest in some crunch labs toys for my niece and nephew!!

This is insane. Awesome job, Mark! Thank you for putting so much work into every amazing video that you give us! :)

That you give us

Every video

Much work into

for putting so

Mark thank you

This goes to show that integrated and end to end testing is important and engineers are notorious for ignoring this.

I like how he post monthly or more than 1 months meaning he actually spent Days making new things for us

Fascinating! I just can't figure out how often new videos appear?

Engineers are optimists at heart "Check the mattress just in case" :))
