Thanks for watching this video. I'm glad you're here. If you feel like this earns your subscription please click here: bit.ly/Subscribe2SED How this happened: I messaged Tory "If you ever find yourself with an open lunch I'll buy. No cameras, just rocket geek chat." A few months later he changed a flight one day so we could grab lunch, but he also carved out a couple of hours before lunch to give me a personal tour. He's as cool off camera as he is on camera. He allowed me to ask any technical question I had, and I never even got close to the limits of his understanding of rockets. His technical prowess is something I aspire to. We made a video on the second channel where I interview him about more specific things about rockets, as well as how he feels about competitors. 2nd Channel Interview with Tory about rocket engines, competitors, and business philosophy: kzhead.info/sun/d7WagLOBiH57iKc/bejne.html
SmarterEveryDay this comment was put out 2 min ago and the video was released 19 min ago, there ain’t any time travelers here, I don’t think
♥️
SmarterEveryDay that rocket in the beginning sounded just like the space shuttle.
Tory is a great guy - I've interviewed him once before and he's just a joy with which to have a conversation. Thanks for making the video!
SmarterEveryDay hey Destin I actually got a job with ULA in the Decatur plant once I graduate in May! I can’t wait to get in there and start working! Thank you so much for doing this tour this is awesome man
Honestly i was more amazed that the CEO literally knew every single little detail and step of the process, awesome
normally the ceo knows jackshit cus they just go to business school
I'm pretty sure engineering firms CEOs have been in the field for a little. You can't really own a rocket company without knowing about rockets. I guess unless youre Elon. He just has money
@@MrQuackcorn exactly. Beat me to the comment. GE and HP were also destroyed by MBA vultures.
@@MrQuackcorn yeah when its about profit making it ruins the end product and MBA vultures are only there to make more profits and bonuses they will deteriorate the quality of the product, they are taught to manipulate as much as they can to profit as much as they can. whereas an engineer will go for the quality of the product making it more refined day by day as is evident in the history of Boeing.
@@LenniL-ob4ll That makes sense, although I believe Tory wasn't always CEO? Good choice from the board (or whoever decides these things) to put him in charge, IMHO!
I am just blown away by a CEO that knows the intricacies of his product to the very core, no "umm", "I'll get the SME to answer that" or the classic, 'i'll get back to ya on that", amazing.
You missed this moment 21:14
I doubt that’s because he doesn’t know/care but more because either he isn’t allowed to say yet, or it hasn’t been calculated
It's because he is an engineer lol
RIGHTLY pointed by james x.Impressed by such CEO'S myself.
@@JameBlack he couldn't give the number there because it's either classified by the government or it's a company trade secret at the moment.
"A factor of safety is really a factor of ignorance, you have a factor of safety because you aren't truly sure what might happen in the field." Those to me are the greatest words ever spoken by a CEO.
The godayum truest too, there's a reason straps for lifting are a 5:1 safety ratio cause they know dayum well mfs life me aren't gonna weigh or care one bit
The fact that the CEO knows everything and explains it really well and smoothly, while letting Destin do whatever he wants is mind boggling
I dunno, I feel like he should have promised we are going to Jupiter in a year. His down to earth humility and expertise just makes me think his rocket company isn't the future. /s
Can I touch this
my aim cash !
@@ohedd Most CEO's are FAR from impressive. Spend ten minutes on a freight loading dock of the crappiest box store in the lowest area in your area and you will find an ocean of people with more skill talent and character. Anyone who has spent five minutes getting to know ANY operation top to bottom and bottom to top knows that a guy like this is extremely rare. Failing upwards, brain fog robots are by far the norm. That entire "wide range" is a constant source of poor infliction on the people who execute executive ideas almost always. You are seriously dreaming of you think even 1 out of 10 CEOs in the globe could even work on the line at the place this guy runs let alone are his peers. Money idea financial blob management isn't the same as directing a rocket program. Absolutely asleep and dreaming mate.
@@ohedd *good CEOs...
"The factor of safety is really a factor of ignorance" - best quote I've heard ever. (10:30)
I don't quite get it. Can give me a quick ELI5 on that one?
@@sharank since you don't actually know what will happen in real conditions and actual flight, you are ignorant, so you build things to be stronger than initially calculated, to be safe. This is at least how I understand it.
@@sharank Human error.
idk, thinking ignorance is the only factor in safety sounds pretty ignorant to me.
@@Vespertilio-Homo I think it depends on how you want to interpret "ignorance". If you take it to mean something negative about the people doing it (lack of intelligence, not taking enough time etc.) then I agree with you. I believe Tory Bruno just meant any lack of knowledge, even that which in inherent in any real-life situation. With that definition I would like for you to point to a reason for a safety margin that doesn't ultimately boil down to ignorance.
One thing shines through quite clearly: Tory loves his job.
With his salary, I would to.
@@JB-vt5sz Nah money doesn't buy that kind of enthusiastic love of the job. This guy just likes building rockets
Just the pure, childlike grin he has whenever he talks about it is so telling.
Also, his excitement level seems to indicate there was lots more he _wanted_ to tell us. It's totally understandable that there are things he can't show and tell, though, what with all the recent competition in the space launch market.
BazilRat light particles?
ULA is no joke, and Mr. Bruno is a a leader icon. What a company, what a team and what a man. Thank you for this, Destin.
Wow! You can hear the emotion in his voice when he talks about the payload being people as opposed to hardware. Having the payload come in and shake hands with the people that are building their rocket. Phenomenal. He really cares about who he is sending up into space.
I was just about to comment on that myself. I've never thought about that, that the person flying into space can actually come and watch "their rocket" being built and meet the people building it. That's just so cool and emotional.
I love the look on these experts' faces when Destin asks them the exact right question at the exact right time.
Haha. The way they just nod their heads and grin while he composes the question.
"Can I touch that?" - Destin, for literally everything in the factory. Kid in a candy shop! :D
Can't blame him
21:05 that's why you ask too haha
Haha
It got weird when they were in the bathroom
Like Willy in the chocolate factory. Do you think he will let him take a seat on the rocket if he’s a good boy?
Never expected this level of openness from ULA. Kudos to them.
There is no question why that guy is the CEO of this company. The guy knew his stuff and was well spoken. Very inspiring.
No loud music, no silly diagrams, animations or hyperbole, just intelligent questions and great answers. I learnt so much from this. Thank you.
Similar thing would Kim Jong un say xd
@@vaqalarxornawosk1731 Similar thing would ignorant internet troll say xd
@@WilliamWilson_org oh cmon
Diagrams and illustrative animations are nice to have if well used, but I'm with you on the rest. This was an excellent video - really wish there was more!
I agree. I noticed the same. This is the first time I have seen Tony and Daniel. Half way through I hit the Subscribe button....something I rarely do.
The CEO seems just as excited as Destin is. And he knows the floor like the back of his hand, love it.
I dont even know the back of my hand
I love how he kinda smiles everytime destin knows something that not alot of folk would.
He so smart, it explains why he is involved in rocket science industry.
tory bruno is the best
Ofc he does, everyone that's actually part of the space program LOVES everything they do... It's only douchebags throwing money at them when they desperately need it because of cut funding that even allows idiots with no cares about it to get to space.
I am so excited for Vulcan's maiden flight this coming week! I have been rewatching this video monthly for the past year!
What a man, this CEO. The way he explains things, it just shows his passion for his career and passing on information to others as curious as him :D
this has got to be the hardest tutorial ive ever watched
it turn out good tho?
Yeah they didn’t even show me what’s tools to use
But kudos to the editor for not putting overplayed pop music in the tutorial.
Yesh
Lol
I'm extremely impressed by that CEOs knowledge on literally every single task.
Well, he's an engineer himself so he's supposed to know all of that. I'm also sure he brushed up on everything before Destin came so he would be able to explain everything smoothly as he did in the video.
@@geethsan1567 You could easily tell a specialist for stress and strain, he ran a ton of FEA himself and also studied his materials. Over the years you know your processes, but nice to see there are people like this in the US and not only hillbillies on meth with big guns.
This guy worked in every departament in that factory.
Corporate espionage is my favorite sport and i want to know what the tools are.
Meritocracy > corp nepotism :)
I've watched this video probably 3 or 4 times in the last 3 years and I always catch something new. The pride in Tory's face and voice at 26:17 (and that whole segment) when he's talking about how that process will always be done by hand, by real people, because they can do it better than any computer ever could, is so infectious.
What an amazing guy Troy is… The fact that he allowed the filming and, on top of that, spent so much time explaining things himself - big respect!
Des: "so YOU did *such and such*" Mr Bruno: "yeah so WE do..." thats a boss i want to work for
What a great Ceo.. 👍
@@Juan-wk8cr it can, but the fact that the Tory emphasizes it as "we" is whats meaningful.
BOSS Always Say "I" But a LEADER always say "We"
And he'd love that you work for him. Truth about who does a labour doesn't pay your bills.
There is such a thing as a collective you. Grammatically, that is how the sentence structure should go. Dustin says "You" as the collective whole of the company as an outsider, Tory says "we" as the collective whole of the company that the CEO is also part of.
i love the CEO so humble doesn't feel like a boss but eager to show every part of the company,and he understand every sector.
that's how a good CEO should be you shouldn't have to get an intern to show the boss around the mail room lol
Most CEOs know what they're doing and can explain it in detail, and some can barely spell the word detail.
JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD AND SAVIOR LOVES YOU ALL JOHN 3:16-17
@@jackasshomey de de
@@jackasshomey I have no
As an aerospace machinist, this was an awesome shop tour. Plus a CEO that knows what's happening out on the floor! Nice!
This is the 2nd time I have watched this video and I am still amazed. I worked for a satellite company in southern California for 30 years and it wasn't until the last five I was able to see how the birds came together in the high bay clean rooms, very impressive. Thanks again guys.
Every company needs a CEO like this. The guy is so cool, and humble, and actually knowledgeable about everything going on. You can tell hes not just a million dollar baby. He has a really passion for what he does. So freaking cool.
lisa su is pretty impressive too
Sue bae make AMD go uppies
Like Goole
I was introduced to those types of large CNCs at the LTV Jefferson facility in Grand Prairie, TX. They cut the wing for the G5 and Horizontal Stabilizers.
every ceo needs to have knowledge u cant be a ceo if you have money everyone says elon musk is a person with money not knowledge well they are wrong u cant be a ceo of a big company if u dont have knowledge.
*a dust particle on the coffee machine* CEO: Yeah so that particle is made from the chafing of one of our worker's shirt while he was itching his shoulder
Best comment ive seen in months:DDDD omg
I can't stop laughing, jeez.
Lol lol
I'm a long-retired manufacturing engineer from Caterpillar, Inc. I'm SO PUMPED by what I've seen here. It's obvious that Tory is a fellow geek and that he's in his glory sharing all of this with us. Thank you so much for this video!
Hey Destin, I've watched this video like 3 times, and I'm always surprised how nice, down-to-earth, and laid-back Tory really is. He's affable. I like that! Thanks for posting cool vids that are good for all audiences. And I love learning. Your second channel is JUST my speed, I love geeking out on this stuff. YOU AND TORY ROCK!!!! Cheers, D
man, I've never seen a CEO of such giant and amazing company to be that humble and cool ever, bless his heart, doing an amazing job
Bill Gates 😔
@@yaseengheedan1886 😂 😂 😂
That is a boss I would LOVE to work for
This CEO is taking your tax dollars for an unnecessary rides! SpaceX can save us money!
Bruno made me proud to be a Cal Poly grad. Awesome guy
I love how he smiles everytime Destin asks a rocket nerd question. They seem like bros for life now.
IKRRRR
He's smiles like a child, honestly I'd do the same
It results amazing to know that an aluminum panel like these, will never be done by any machine but by humans to get the right curvature. A critical operation made by hand right in 21st century. Amazing indeed. I've never thought of such CNC process to achieve weight reduction and yet, mechanical conditions required to flight into space. Real pieces of work! Magnificent video Dustin.
Your videos never fail to impress, Destin. Great tour from Tory Bruno; it's incredible how intimately he knows every step of the manufacturing process.
This CEO is literally the definition of the phrase "If you do what you love you don't work a day in your life".... I love it
Sean Syers he’s so cool
Extremly humble individual. Just the way he talks about his people and mission makes it apparent.
This is, literally "the guy" I could work for, for like 20 years!!!
Hè is defo working for it
My thoughts exactly. I'm sure the job comes with its fair share of ups and downs, but every time I see Mr Bruno on KZhead he always looks like he's having the best day ever.
Respect for Tory Bruno. He's an amazing person.
I love listening to him speak in this, hes so funny
Definitely a nerd who takes pride in every part of his business. Cool guy!
Only halfway through the video when writing this... He is pretty incredible. I only wish every CEO was like this
Now Elon Musk must give a tour of SpaceX.
@@captain_code No not Musk.. he would turn the interview into opinion and politics ....I'm sticking to Bruno ,one cool engineer /CEO ..
I just love how much Destin already knows about this stuff. It must be a real joy for the people he interviews. "Wow, I get to be interviewed by a smart guy for once" lol.
Wow Tory is passionate, knowledgeable and engaging - Truly in love with what he does. You could see Destin and Tory geekin while speaking engineering. Loved this. Great job Destin.
When the boss clearly has the passion and understanding. I love that, clearly loves his work and invests in it.
I mean they require actual skills unlike other ceo's
and clearly appreciates his employees/work force, I imagine it's a great company to work for
Tory Bruno is quite active on Twitter, Reddit, and even on the /r/spacex subreddit despite being a competitor to them. Goes to show he is really into all things rocketry
42:35 “these are sharp edges, so careful” Destin: *immediately touches edges”
Isn't that what you would do?
CAN I TOUCH THIS?
*thumb immediately volunteers to sacrifice itself for science*
SpaceDolphin Gooniiii goooogooooo
Not hurting sentiments here, reminded me of Mike Pence touching the hardware with "do not touch" written on it ,haha
Absolutely fascinating very well done. My son works for ULA, and I've always bugged him about giving me a tour which obviously he can't due to security issues, so what better way to accomplish this than have the president give us a personal tour. Thank you both very much !!!
I love how the CEO explained their process of high-tech, integrated with human craftsmanship. Incredible and inspiriational.
"Really, a factor of safety is a factor of ignorance." That's quotable. I want to take a class from this man.
I think that single line sums up what engineering is all about
How is it ive read at this comment and 5s Later its in my video
‘A factor of safety is really a factor of ignorance’. And I’ve got my quote of the week for my design team meeting.
Its rare you find cool down to earth CEO's that also know their facility..
It is very refreshing to see how excited this makes you even talking about it, let alone when you got to see it in person. The casual conversations between you and Tory were incredible. I had no idea that there was so much Human interaction with the raw and finished materials in the process. Great Video !!.
wow a CEO that knows whats going on at floor level and knows his stuff, respect Tory (ULA), great vid and thanks.
Tory Bruno is just a fantastic person in general. I'm such a fan of his.
My thoughts exactly. A CEO who loves the engineering going on in the factory and does not talk marketingbabble! Great video!
he is also active on reddit and twitter, always looks very down to earth
And that conclude a lot of great company and exclude most of the gaming company
@@comradeakimov6183 That's almost an insult for a rocket builder! :D
Alright I'm sold. Tory is getting all my rocket business from now on.
Lol TAKE MY MONEY 💰
If I ever need a rocket...
dont let elon hear you. he will sue you for your business
I wonder if he's read this.. To have the business of THE Glen Atchison. I'll bet this would be the highlight of the entire experience for Tory. I really hope he sees this! By the way, THE Glen Atchison, I completely agree with you. This guy is absolutely amazing. Seems like a stand-up guy as well. Putting a guy with this much knowledge and passion into the position of CEO seems like an absolute no brainer.. While at the same time being insanely rare I feel. Anyway, take care of yourself THE Glen Atchison, creator of this hilarious comment and playboy billionaire philanthropist. I dare someone to say they have never heard of you.. I'm going to make them feel bad before it even happens, that's how stupid they will be for not knowing. P.S. How are Jessica Alba and Megan Fox adjusting to the whole, media cluing them in to the fact that they were both your side pieces and you were married to Scarlet Johanson the whole time BTW? I know they decided to deal with it and you guys were still trying, the last I heard.. They couldn't bare to be without you or something. That was a while ago though.
This is good advertisement for tory, now where can we get a $500m loan for a round trip to the moon?
I didnt think i would be interested in a 54 minute video about rockets but at the end i was sad it was over. This video was awesome!!
It's definitely nice to see the amount of passion he has for what he loves as you can tell by how he describes each detail so intricately almost ,sensuously.
This is the darn best CEO I've seen- like, ever.
*Elon Musk Intensifies*
Such a respectable guy. It'd be an honor to work for him.
He's the one that we won't eat
This CEO should apply for a job with Spacex.
@@glenkeating7333 What you re looking at is his baby. You see that by how he talks about it. He wouldnt ever think about leaving his baby, you know...
Big „Thank You“ to ULA for giving you the opportunity to do the tour! Also: It is nice to see a CEO who is so obviously an engineer, not a bean counter.
Sort of like Elon, just not as famous...
I have a question at 33:11. The friction stir welding seems to only weld the surfaces. How is the strength accounted for if the bulk does not get welded?
@@Shenron557 He seemed to imply that the warmed up aluminum gets pushed down into the crack, welding the 2 pcs together, I was thinking the same thing tho and could be totally wrong.
@@knight2255 I don't think that's the case. The CEO explicitly states that the aluminum doesn't melt. And without melting I can't think of a way for the metal to flow between the gap.
@@Shenron557 there's a probe that displaces material under the stir head. There's some good photos on wiki about the process.
Thank you so much for your wonderful video. Tory Bruno is absolutely awesome. He seems so easy-going and chill, and yet he has a spot-on answer about every single facet of the construction of the rockets.
The CEO is like the Mr Roger's of rocket building. You can tell he is passionate about the work they do, he is not detached from the process and knows his team. He is explaining and teaching as he shows the factory its not just a PR show. Very cool.
Me before watching: “How in the heck did people build that rocket?” Me after watching: “How in the heck did they build the tools used to build that rocket?” I did a few videos from the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum last summer. It never ceases to amaze me to look at the tools that men have built to accomplish the things that we have done.
@Saxxony Ger I'm not even American and I think you are a complete moron.

@@TheHistoryUnderground Oof. Got em.
@Saxxony Ger Wenn dein Kommentar wenigstens lustig wäre... Unnötig 🙄
Saxxony Ger - Ha! Yes, it is. Thanks for von Braun and have a nice evening. 🇺🇸
This CEO is absolutely amazing!! So down to earth and knows his stuff inside out!
Came looking for this comment.
The guy who's building rockets for space is so down to earth, kind of ironic
TV and Cinema really mess up how CEOs should act
A true Randian titan.
@@alexanderbrady3189 bro your comment......XD....😆
This video is my favorite background noise. The combination of the background machining noise an the enthusiasm Destin and Tory have are infectious. Also, “fancy space saw horses” is my favorite thing. It makes me feel like a kid at Space Camp.
ULA used to give a tour to the TARC participants from North Alabama. I went on the tour the three times they gave them and learned so much. It was quite impressive. Your video brought back some good memories.
Every time he says "I'll show you that too..." I'm just thinking "OMG THERE'S MORE!?"
He has to be one of the coolest CEO's I've ever seen. Not that I've seen all too many in my life but he'ssuper dedicated about this stuff which I like!
I am definitely a Tory Bruno fan now :)

@@ryanrenolds what about him?
It's been a while since I watched your videos and wow. Either you have some very good connections or the right people are getting to see how talented you are. Maybe both keep up the EXCELLENT work Brother! It's greatly appreciated.
The passion, knowledge, and questions you were asking really kept me engaged. This was an amazing video. Thank you so much for the insight into this unique and fascinating topic.
The intro alone had me hooked.
Absolutely agree. Destin's genuine uncontainable excitement is so contagious
He does that a lot. He hooked me on one of his intro's years ago.
Me too
This video is still SO good, on every level. Anyone who doubts you can be “passionate” about something like engineering or math really should watch this. The world needs more content creators like Destin!
This was truly amazing to watch!! What a tour!! Thank you so much for making this!!
“Do we have a RL10 engine not in the crate to show him”. That was the best statement ever
me "i'm not going to watch this whole video" me 54 minutes later "wait its already over?"
That was an hour of my life i didnt notice go by
Legofreak - exactly my feelings. I went to the part 2 also. I just commented to my wife that the tv news stations go ditzy over a "viral video" that might get a million views in a week. Destin puts up an awesome vid that gets a million in 2 days and everyone else hears crickets.
My husband and I watched your videos today loving everyone. So happy you were able to do this one with ULA. Being Alabama natives we are proud of our state with all the wonderful products being made here. Thank you for all the wonderful videos.
Never expected this level of openness from ULA. Kudos to them.. I'm extremely impressed by that CEOs knowledge on literally every single task..
I actually can’t believe this video is an hour long. It’s so interesting and kept me engaged the whole time, only felt like 10 min.
I had absolutely no idea until you said something that it wasn't longer than maybe 20 minutes. The CEO is so impressive. When I think CEO I think of stuffy money making vacation taking people, but this man changed my whole perspective. He's happy to be there, happy to do what he loves, and happy to answer any question to flex that knowledge. That's incredible.
I had no idea, until you mentioned it. I didn't believe it until I went back and looked for myself. Incredible.
@@foreverspellman also you can see he is a bit upset everytime Dustin can't film something. The CEO seems so proud of his work and is aware of every bit of detail in the making process
Tory's a hoot and is always happy to reply. Mad respect for the man who rose from engineer to CEO.
@@_PatrickO if this was a video about SpaceX, you can mention elon, but Tory also knows what he's talking about and is an amazing ceo
Elon was never technically an engineer he learned on the job and came from top down instead of from bottom up like mr Bruno
I just want to say thank you for doing what you do, for posting this. I haven't been this happy in a long time. I so thoroughly enjoyed every second of this video. You, Destin, and Tory are just amazing. The 2 coolest people I've yet to meet.
It’s so awesome to see both of these guys genuinely excited to talk about this stuff
I work in a metal fab shop as an engineering designer, and I guarantee our CEO would not be able to answer these kinds of highly technical engineering questions. Absolutely amazing.
How on earth can a CEO not know his products? Why don't you hire a better CEO? Are you all crazy? Leave that sinking ship!
@@voornaam3191 usual business
@@voornaam3191 lmao most CEO like what he described
@@voornaam3191 unfortunately that’s the norm. Most ceos are there to look pretty, tell people what to do (on a basic level) and make money doing it.
@@voornaam3191 Because there's more to a business than just the technical details. Being able to surround yourself with reliable people who know these things is more valuable for a CEO who works at a more macro level. It's like a manager. A manager doesn't necessary need to know all the detail of the job his team does. His primary job is to manage humans and it requires its own set of skills. Of course it depends what job it is. Some management job requires more expertise than others. I've seen quite a few expert pushed to a management position and ending up being absolutely terrible at it and the opposite, managers who knows only the subjet superficially but doing a fantastic job as manager. A CEO's primary missions are strategy and organisation. In some field a technical knowledge (not expertise) is important for the strategy aspect but it's mostly true for very technical field like rockets.
The humanism involved with this company building a rocket really impressed me.
@linlinö önilnil lol spacex rockets are just as bad for the environment my dude, besides, rockets are a miniscule percent of a percent of global emissions
@linlinö önilnil launch baby launch... dont listen to the commie liberals
@@NwoDispatcher Liberalism is what our country was founded on. a free market capitalist system which follows logic, science and human rights.
@@SlayerofFiction when exactly was it that the US ever cared about human rights? or logic? or free-market capitalism even LOL
I have watched this episode about 4 times. It’s awesome to see two real people talking about a really interesting topic with mutual respect for each other. The human factor in these videos makes it something special.
Dustin, that was such an incredible video and analysis ULA and Tory Bruno’s life and technical career. What an incredible humble human being. I love too your enthusiasm, you’re like a young kid in a candy store.
I swear to god Destin does and sees the coolest things on this planet.
Like flying in a freaking f-16. I’m most jealous of that
He's probably gonna be one of the few people getting sponsored by some private space company in the future to be blasted into space lol
@@anakinvandyke I'm jealhe got to do everything but the high g pulls. I can handle some G's (idk my limit, but I think I've gone to maybe 3 for a few seconds on a ride. It was interesting). I wanna see my limits, but I'm also afraid of G-locking lol
@@Sp00kq formula 1 drivers are constantly put under such g forces, I remember seeing a video on how one of the drivers managed to hit 6 gs... And he didnt pass out, now bear in mind that they do not wear such a suit like these fighter pilots do, if you ask me, it's quite incredible. Reference video title: "F1 Driver G-Force Analysis: Onboard with Carlos Sainz"
2037: Im on the moon
So... I'm just a small farmer from Paraguay, South America watching amazed how fascinating it is to build Rockets! What a great time to be alive!!
And I am reading your comment from Hungary and I totally agree :)
Wow. U live near Asuncion or something? If so I'm still a whole continent away in the PNW. Go BOEING!
@Jacob Zondag yeah, but back then everyone had more chances to die from a flue living in agricultural life. Now it's about human kind seen from above, projected to through the stars. Then it was about some religions and human ego.
Literally every generation ever!!!!!!!
@JZ's Best Friend we live 2-3x longer, sure death is still present, but don't be such a pessimist
Destin, I am so blown away by the way you make great effort to get the absolute most out of your life and time.
It is such a delight to see two happy and excited engineers talk about things they love. Destin, you always seem to ask great questions for everything which really shows how much you know about different kinds of engineering. This was so impressive and interesting. Thank you!
So refreshing to have a CEO that knows not a little bit but factual everything and every process of the production of the product.. astonishing really.. felt more like a tour through a family run business than a walkthrough of a factory that pumps out orbital class rockets.. would love to work for that man!
Fun fact many CEOs in the aerospace industry started out as engineers and worked thier way up through companies :)
Ronny van der Veen klopt helemaal :)
@@RonnyScotVanDerVeen Yep, i work as a process metallurgist for a company that does about 70% aerospace work and can confirm this is true, they just don't let unqualified people in higher management, there are literal lives on the line.
I'd say it's why they're still in business. If a boss running this kind of operation didn't comprehend the value of every step they'd cut corners and make a garbage product. I see it all the time in consumer companies lol.
@@jetjazz05 Agreed. One of the worst things that happens to companies is letting an accountant become in charge of 'operations'. They tend to drive them into receivership.
It's so refreshing to see a CEO of a company that actually knows what they're making. Not only does he know but is highly educated. I hope he has children who are as smart as he is.
yea hes a great guy
agreed! i bet he's an awesome boss....hmmm...
You're talking about Elon Musk. ULA is a declining company, getting killed by SpaceX.
@@charlech you obviously didnt watch the second channel.
@@charlech I know folks who've worked for Elon. Not a good boss.
Thank you very much. I am not a professional engineer, but I have always been a gear head and found this fascinating. The CEO is really great for allowing the whole tour and explaining everything. The machinery for manufacturing the parts was amazing.
This was just incredible. Love Tori's intricate detailed knowledge. Just inspiring. And Dustins enthusiasm is seriouy infectious.
The grin on my face the whole time watching this, just puts everything into perspective. Can only imagine what they dont allow you to show
Secret space kittens
Makes you wonder who and why anyone downvotes videos like this.
Majestic Flounder wrong platform
@@hugono3938 what?
I was smiling too
The CEO keeps looking at Destin like “You need to work for me young man.”
Need new brain for R&D
Yeah, but so do his Patreon supporters 😉, and Uncle Sam still if I’m not mistaken.
I've literally been thinking that this entire video lmao
Or “I think you’re my long lost son”
We need Destin more than he does.
I yearn to have these types of technical conversations, thank you Destin for taking us with you.
Amazing tour and it is so obvious Mr Bruno loves his job. The world would be a better place with more leaders like him.
3:38 "We're at a rocket factory." *Inner 5 y/o giggling with delight*
Destin: Wow that is really cool, can I go touch it? Laminar Flow: *cries
You could see the respect that Tory had for the workers and the respect they had for him…stand up guy and knew every detail of the manufacturing process
Starting in 1967 I worked for Convair at the Kearny Mesa plant in San Diego, CA on the Atlas Centaur program. The original Atlas rockets which predated Centaur were ICBM's and made by the same welded stainless steel process that is used on the current Centaur rockets. Basically, the rockets were flying gas tanks. The tanks were either kept pressurized or stretched in a special cradle that fastened to each end of the rocket to keep the tanks from collapsing and there were special trailers that kept the tanks stretched while being transported to their destination. The machine that did the stainless steel seam welding was a modified spot welder that used an rolling electrode wheel to give a contiguous welded joint. Another interesting thing about the Atlas SLV was that there were 3 engines, the center that could gimbal for steering and the outer 2 engines that were jettisoned after the boost phase to lighten the load.
*Dennis Kuzara was charged Friday with two counts of first-degree murder for the Oct. 2, 2011, slaying of 57-year-old Isabella Trejo.*
I absolutely love how excited Destin is every single moment he is in that factory.
His enthusiasm is contagious
The CEO was tooo!
“Can I go touch that?” I love seeing this child-like excitement from him. 😍
Bless him 😅
Can I touch??? 🥺🥺🥺🥺
Amanda Mathews The only difference between men and boys, is the price of their toys! 😉👍🏼
Absolutely amazing. Thank you so much for sharing. As one of the airborne structural design engineers who helped design the Aft Transition Structure on the Atlas V seeing things at this level is very rewarding. Being at LMA we never got the chance to see the finished products for what we designed. Now nearly 25 years later... Thank you.
I was absolutely stuck to the screen the entire time. I love manufacturing, especially big stuff like this. Thanks for taking us along!
Dude has one of the best speaking gestures I've ever seen.
didn't even notice it
This hour flew by. I was totally immersed. Tory is the type of professional I want to wind up being in my career.
Same here. Absolutely fascinating. That hour just flew by. Could have watched more. 🙂👋
I didn't even realize I was watching an hour long video until I saw this comment
Same!
Same thought! 👍
@@samdwichenjoyer gosh same
I absolutely admire this bloke he could see how much you were enjoying yourself and played into letting you delve deeper…. What a guy man
I recently started watching your channel and WOW. NASA and rockets and space missions have always had my attention and your videos are so well put together so a big thank you.
