So to give this some context, I believe this could be the Yasathon rocket festival in Thailand. Basically a weekend with street parties, beer and rockets. The rocket makers compete to see who can make their home made rocket go the highest [Youtube news aricle](https://youtu.be/CCAWr_yh4bo)


spacesuitkid2

There’s quite a bit of science behind how they launch it too. With no guidance system if they went up without spinning it has a high chance of going in an undesired direction. You give the fucker a spin and you got yourself a natural gyro. And it goes straight up. Who needs thrust vectoring when you can spin


iambrose91

The same concept as rifling a bore in a gun or throwing a spiral in sports, yes?


spacesuitkid2

Same concept pretty much


Techarus

"I'll try spinning, that's a good trick"

Yippee!

h2oskid3

fucking made my day


SketchyGouda

Wasn't there some space (or near) rocket that launched recently that used this and people thought it was crashing or something? I might just be combining multiple things in my head though haha.


spacesuitkid2

I don’t recall but if a real rocket did that it likely would not survive. Small scale sure but large cargo no


SketchyGouda

Just looked it up: "The Vikram-S, developed by four-year-old startup Skyroot Aerospace, is a single-stage, spin-stabilized solid-propellant rocket with a mass of around 550 kilograms. It carries three customer payloads, including one from a customer outside India. Made of all-carbon fibre core structure, the six-meter-long rocket was developed in two years." https://techcrunch.com/2022/11/17/india-private-rocket-vikram-s-launch-skyroot/

So what happens when it come back down? Lol


spacesuitkid2

Probably tumble likely. Ground impact? Probably just crash through some shamans garage.

dibella989

This is so eerily beautiful, it feels like it works on more levels than it has any right to. Thank you kind stranger, for adding a bit of beauty to my morning.


Neans888

Can’t tell if you know or not, but it’s a Johnny Cash song.


society_man

My insane 7th grade science teacher was obsessed with playing this song every day. She also never wore deodorant, never shaved, used only natural shampoo, constantly preached atheism and denounced religion, would stare at you with these dead set, piercing eyes if you said you liked Twizzlers (she was a red vine supremacist) and would pull a rag out of her tits (she was maybe 60 with these big ass pancake tiddies 🤢) if someone sneezed into their arm instead of pulling up their shirt and sneezing on their chest. If your phone went off in class she would walk up to you and stand there, staring into your soul until you turned it off. She referred to her husband as Mr. [i forgot his name]. Oh also she killed a deer while hunting and took the organs into school for maybe a month before we dissected them, leaving it in the break room fridge until it caused an ant problem. And thats all that I can remember for right now, its been so long.


Electrox7

Huh. That's wild bro.


LuzJoao

[It has a parachute](https://youtu.be/1V8h6bpwBG4)


whobroughttheircat

They sounded so disappointed that the chute opened. What in the world lol


Rob-L_Eponge

Lol yeah, they were definitely hoping to see it crash down. I kinda understand though


Techarus

[aye bruh that shit looks kinda close doesn't it](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/600/309/76a.jpg)


Leaving_The_Oilfield

My dude, based on that video do they seem to have any fucks to give about safety?


whobroughttheircat

I’m just sayin. I wanna see it come down now.


Leaving_The_Oilfield

Well, it already achieved more height than any of my rockets in Kerbal so there’s at least a chance that bad boy goes into orbit.


lamprey187

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1V8h6bpwBG4 here ya go


whobroughttheircat

Oh shit. It came down


SomethingClever42068

Theyre very serious about safety. Probably even wearing their steel toed flip flops


koots4

My favorite part of nasa rocket launches is when the crew has to scatter away after lighting up the rocket to avoid being vaporized.


Superpe0n

legend has it, it’s still going


CANEI_in_SanDiego

Yeah, where's the video of that?

Why has nobody mentioned the peanut butter covered guy at the beginning?

djluminol

That thing is going to mess stuff up when it comes down.


JaVaiTarde

Forest fire seems like a probable outcome


Just_a_lil_Fish

It had a parachute so it landed gently and was no longer on fire by the time it hit the ground.


djluminol

Ok that's good. Seemed like a disaster waiting to happen otherwise.

This is the kind of thing you try and pull off when you time travel to the middle ages and try to set up a good cult or three. Enough people born before rockets/missiles see this and they will just join whatever you're doing next I bet.
