If you didn't watch until the end then you missed learning an incredibly valuable safety lesson and you should feel ashamed

This is so cool.

Also fluorine as propellant is BAD if you if you you remotely fear Murphy's law.

Still easier to work with than antimatter though lol....

I loved when the narrator said "So at Aperture Sci-I mean uh, Rocketdyne."

If you know you know lol:

This was a triumph
I'm making a note here
"Huge success"
It's hard to overstate my satisfaction

Aperture Science
We do what we must because we can
For the good of all of us
Except the ones who are dead

But there's no sense crying over every mistake
You just keep on trying till you run out of cake
And the science gets done and you make a neat gun
For the people who are still alive

 

-Part of the lyrics of Still Alive (by John Coulton sung by GLADOS).

Finally someone diving deeper into this!

And, yeah, this is the kind of thing that i can only see being used in the rather far future, or in Aperture Kerbal Space Program
