Arguably the most frustrating part of amateur rocketry is making ordinary materials and tolerances do extraordinary things…

🔥 footage — the Hadley engine has been busy with our partners at Stratolaunch, who are hotfire testing in anticipation of their vehicle’s first hypersonic flight attempt later this year.

Exporting nearly an hour of extremely entertaining rocket joy, thanks to Ursa Major! I learned a ton on this tour, got my hands on a rocket engine & saw the most epic test fire ever! Video will be in review w/ supporters today & will go live Thursday! Don’t miss it!!!

I am so excited to show you guys inside Ursa Major’s amazing factory in my video that drops tomorrow! If you aren’t familiar with them, get ready for some incredible stuff, up close and personal! They blew my mind, you’re not gonna want to miss this!

Hey Everyday Astronaut, any chance you can send me the footage of us shaking hands at Ursa Major? (I was the one with the Everyday Astronaut hoody)

I’m gonna give 10 random people that repost this and follow me $25,000 for fun (the $250,000 my X video made) I’ll pick the winners in 72 hours

Loved having UC Rocketry Club come teach our Ss all about rockets! Ss designed and build straw rockets. 🚀 Tomorrow we test and collect data! Ethan McCowan Eric Messer Amy Whitling

UC Rocketry Club Best of the Best right here! Thank you for engaging our Ss in meaningful, real-world learning experiences! We had a “blast!” (Pun intended) 🚀 Ethan McCowan Eric Messer University of Cincinnati Mason City Schools Amy Whitling

Mrs. Williams was my 5th grade science teacher 12 years ago and was the teacher who got me hooked on space. It was exciting to go back to her classroom and inspire the next generation of scientists and engineers! The future is bright indeed.

On the test stand Aeon R fires at 100% power for 180 seconds 🔥 📍 Stennis Space Center, R Complex 🚀 180 seconds of hot fire = the max duration for a Terran R first stage flight plus margin. 🔁 Test, learn, iterate, repeat.

3 full iterations on Aeon R engine design + test already. Quite different between designs, this means Terran R will be more mature and advanced for reliable reusability and performance by the time it flies in 2026
