Whoever decided to start releasing full episodes on YouTube, is a genius!
-
Seeing Tori,Grant and Kari still part of the build team and not yet co host give a smile in my heart specially seeing Grant
-
I forgot how insane early mythbusters was, i miss this show
-
I can't believe they set off the rocket in the shop, especially with Jamie standing right next to it.
-
34:50 Why they even thought that testing a rocket/missile indoors would be a good idea is questionable lmao
-
RIP Erik Gates, Grant and Jessi from the MythBusters family.
-
I know these two weren't actually best friends, but I can tell they had a lot of intellectual fun on this one.
-
Why do all of these videos have the MasterChef logo in the top right of the screen? Lol
-
The earlier seasons of mythbusters were so unhinged. I love it.
-
39:33 I love how they censor Kari saying it, but you can read the label on the bottle of acid in the same scene. ð
-
I liked when an entire episode was devoted to a single myth and didn't have B plots

48:29 Congreeve studied samples of Hyder Ali's rockets (developed 1780). An Ali rocket with one pound of propellant powder encased in iron had a range of 1,000 yards. By 1813, Congreeve developed the 12 pounder which could achieve a range of 2,000 yards but averaged 1,400 yards. The primary advantage of military rockets at the time was not range but rate of fire. By 1850, Congreeve rockets were replaced by Hale rockets with ranges up to 2,000 yards. The primary weakness of rockets was limited shelf life. The "long range" rocket described by Jefferson Davis had a brass case, rendering it incapable of achieving the range of iron-cased rockets. At most, it was a short-lived fireworks entertainment for Confederate VIPs.

"100-mile rocket" sound s like a typical period exaggeration. was fun watching them take it literally and give it a go. Was that a camera on fire? :D

I'm very glad that the editors blurred out certain things so that I can never buy STP or GMC products. Thanks !

"Next it's Lord Kelvin's big O" I beg your finest pardon? ð€£
-
44:54 they actually got that into the script ð€£
-
0:40 that Adam savage intro is my favourite intro of his in all the seasons they did. Even better than "am I missing an eyebrow" and "I reject your reality and substitute my own" all classics but the rocket one is the best.

God I shed a tear being reminded about Grant. I miss you man
-
It looked more like galvanized electrical conduit to me ....Instead of " plumbing parts "
-
hope they add every single season, more please <3
