[00:00] Today we're going to launch all kinds of rockets, from the smallest to the The first thing we're going to do is test a 200-dollar rocket versus a 10-dollar rocket!
[00:12] This rocket is a propulsion rocket. you have to pump and this bottle is going to Hey, I think ours is going to fly very high. catch them again.
[00:26] So ours is also recyclable. I think... ours. Who goes first? Rock, paper, scissors?
[00:41] Yeah! the higher it'll go. Pull the string. ¡One, two, three!
[00:55] Wow!... Did you see? I told you we were going to win!
[01:07] I don't know, you're about to see how high the one we're using is going to fly. we're going to lose it. Three, two...!
[01:19] No, no, wait, I know... Let's do a countdown like at NASA. But you guys have to give this video a like before the rocket takes off. And there's a surprise. That's all I'm saying. There's a surprise among the
[01:31] Five, four, three, two, one...! It went really far! and it released a parachute!
[01:45] Definitely, this was a better rocket. I have a lot of faith in this one because it even has fire. with gunpowder and real fire!
[02:00] Look at this. The advantage of this rocket is that we can launch it from our There it goes! It released a parachute, look.
[02:15] Run! It didn't work out, I couldn't hit them with the rocket. Okay, we're ready! Wow!
[02:32] The previous one, the one made of gunpowder, went much higher than this one. And here, we have a 20-dollar one, which looks bigger than yours. than yours.
[02:47] We place it here on the ground... Now we're going to inject air... Look at the No!... Less, it was like this.
[03:00] Now comes the best water rocket... Go for it! Keep going!
[03:13] Honestly, I have to hand it to you... our rocket was the winner, girl! It's ours! The blue one is the best! Okay guys, now we're going to test a 150-dollar rocket against one that's..?
[03:27] Alright. Let's see how the “Crossfire” rocket performs. Three! Two! One!
[03:39] There it comes! Run guys! It literally got lost in the sky. Let's see if their rocket flies farther than Now let's go with our rocket, which I am sure will not only reach higher, but
[03:54] I give you the honor of launching it. One!
[04:07] Guys, it got caught in the tree! but you know what? we won! Now we're going to test these rockets that are pressure-based. They have three
[04:22] And mine are dinosaur rockets. There's this green one, and this purple one and Let's see girl, I propose something. If my rocket goes higher, everyone has to Okay, and if my rocket flies higher, everyone has to like the video right now.
[04:40] I'm going to start with the purple one. By moving this we give direction to our rocket. One! Two! Three!
[04:54] I definitely wasn't lucky. One! Two! Three! Obviously. for a 5-dollar rocket it's really good.
[05:09] Now let's test this 500-dollar rocket! going to go! But it's definitely going to fly more than yours! And I'm going to test this rocket, which, to be honest, looks pretty simple. But
[05:26] I have faith in it. Maybe it has... more energy stored inside? We have to place it here on the base because we hadn't said what this is for. Are you ready?
[05:40] One, two, three! Wow! That was the best parachute so far!
[05:53] No, but we didn't lose it at any point. We saw how it was taking off. Incredible! The fact that we didn't lose it, dude, is the fact that it wasn't the highest. Let's see now the 350-dollar rocket!
[06:16] I won! Yeah! I won with a cheaper rocket, so not everything expensive is the best. The time has come to test the most powerful rockets on the market. This
[06:31] This rocket is made of a material that's going to make it fly much higher than Let's test it! Okay, I think this rocket is made of a weird material like carbon or something.
[06:45] And also... here at the tip, it hides a special secret parachute. I like that its wings are hard plastic and this too. That means it's going to go Okay, for this rocket we need a lot of concentration.
[06:58] Why would it be called Carlos? Three! Two! One! No way!...
[07:16] Carlos did way too bad, guys. Well, honestly I don't know much about rockets. I only know that our rocket is One! Two! Three!
[07:36] We got scammed! Now it's really going to fly higher. Kevin, do your thing! Two! One!
