Speaker A attempted the world's highest egg drop from space but faced failures with the GPS signal and balloon's ascent rate. They made one final attempt from 10,000 feet. Speaker C successfully released the rocket in the target zone but discovered the egg was missing. Speaker B contacted his friend Adam S and they decided to change their approach and set their sights on a more general landing target in the desert. They redesigned their system based on the curiosity landing on Mars. Despite setbacks, they were determined to try again.
They made improvements to their system and successfully tested the beach ball and rock landing configurations. On their sixth attempt, the balloon became tangled with the rocket and beach ball, causing a crash. However, they found their payload intact at the predicted landing spot.
Despite challenges, they accomplished an incredible feat and invite viewers to join their CrunchLabs build box subscription service to build cool stuff together.

Speaker A attempted the world's highest egg drop by launching an egg into outer space. The team tested the egg's terminal velocity and set up a target mattress for it to land on. However, they encountered failures with the GPS signal and balloon's ascent rate, causing the rocket to land off course. They made one final attempt from 10,000 feet, which was crucial for their future space endeavors.
Speaker C prepared for the egg drop from space and successfully released the rocket in the target zone. However, they discovered that the egg was missing. Speaker B contacted his friend Adam S, who advised against attempting a precision guided missile. They decided to change their approach and set their sights on a more general landing target in the desert. They redesigned and built a new system based on the curiosity landing on Mars. Despite setbacks, they viewed failures as learning opportunities and were determined to try again.
In preparation for the final launch, they made several improvements to their system and successfully tested the beach ball and rock landing configurations. They embarked on a sixth attempt to launch the egg drop from space using a reused balloon. The balloon ascended as predicted, but became tangled with the rocket and beach ball, causing a crash. However, they found their payload intact at the predicted landing spot.
Despite the challenges and failures, they learned valuable lessons and accomplished an incredible feat. They invite viewers to join them in building and learning through the CrunchLabs build box subscription service, which offers the chance to find a platinum ticket and visit their facility to build cool stuff together.

Speaker A attempted the world's highest egg drop as part of an egg drop competition. The original plan was to drop an egg from the world's tallest building, but the goal was to go all the way to outer space for a guaranteed record. The plan involved attaching an egg to a rocket, launching it with a weather balloon, and releasing the egg to free fall onto a mattress on the ground. The team tested the terminal velocity of the egg and confirmed that the mattress would protect it. They then headed to a small farming town to set up a target mattress for the egg to land on. Joe, a self-taught engineer, was in charge of tracking and guiding the rocket, while Speaker B took care of the payload and mechanisms for releasing the egg. They conducted a low altitude test to prove their ability to steer the rocket using fans. With everything in place, they prepared for the final launch. However, they encountered failures with the GPS signal and the balloon's ascent rate. The rocket ended up in an uncontrolled death spiral and landed off course. They fixed a code issue and made one final attempt from 10,000 feet. Success in this final attempt was crucial for their future space endeavors.
Speaker C is preparing for the egg drop from space. They arm the rocket and count down to the launch. Speaker B discusses how big balloons like hot air balloons steer themselves using computers that track wind direction and speed at different altitudes. He explains how weather balloons collect data and transmit it back to ground stations, which is used to make accurate weather predictions. Speaker C anxiously waits for the rocket to reach the drop point, and they successfully release it in the target zone. However, they discover that the egg is missing. Speaker B contacts his friend Adam S, who points out a flaw in their plan and advises against attempting a precision guided missile. They decide to change their approach and set their sights on a more general landing target in the desert. They redesign and build a new system based on the curiosity landing on Mars. They test the integration of the systems and encounter a setback due to a critical oversight. They must postpone the launch and make adjustments to fix the issue. Despite feeling disappointed, they view failures as learning opportunities and are determined to try again. Speaker B discusses his belief in resilience and mentions his toy company, CrunchLabs, which aims to help kids think like engineers. He encourages viewers to check out the build box toy. In preparation for the final launch, they make several improvements, including a stronger connection point, tests to protect the egg from freezing in space, redundancy in their system, and testing their solutions at terminal velocities. They successfully test the beach ball and rock landing configurations.
We embarked on a sixth attempt to launch our egg drop from space. The balloon holding the payload had to be reused from the previous launch because we couldn't get a replacement. We carefully monitored the balloon's buoyancy force, which remained steady at 37.6 kilograms. Our friend and luck charm, A Chen, was present to make the official call if we were successful. The balloon ascended as predicted, and we could even spot it from the ground. However, moments later, we realized that the rocket and beach ball had become tangled with the balloon string, causing it to come crashing down at a high speed. We drove to the predicted landing spot and found our payload, which had successfully ejected itself from the tangled mess. The eggs were intact, and we considered finding the beach ball as an added bonus. Despite the challenges and failures, we learned valuable lessons and accomplished an incredible feat.
