KSP | Far Future Mission to Saturn | RSS/RO
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 31 май 2024
- Merry christmas! Another year has passed and I'm back with a new video. This time we visit Saturn on a mission that is considerably bigger in scope than the last one. Eventhough Saturn is almost twice as far away from the Sun as Jupiter, the crew is back on Earth less than 3 years after launch, no refueling necessary at Saturn. Compared to the 6 years on the mission to Jupiter, that truly shows the potential of advanced propulsion technologies like fusion rockets for crewed missions to the outer solar system.
Some screenshots of the mission in high(er) quality:

Well done! We enjoyed watching this!
Thank you so much! And thanks for making such an amazing game, I'm looking forward to KSP 2 ;)
How did THE ksp comment this!? Im impressed
Wow
1. Why does this only have 4 replies when im watching this?!
2. Well done, you watched your game grow
3. When is KSP2 coming out?
oh my god

“Getting this ISRU to work on Titan will be quite difficult.”
*throws fuel line into ocean*
“Okay everyone, back in the ship.”
Actually yeah wouldn't Titan be a good refueling destination, if chemical rockets would still be used at a time when you could do that?
@@40watt53 for lifting off and putting things into orbit yes, theyre good at that
@@40watt53 I'm very sure chemical rockets would still exist by the time we get around colonising the outer solar system. Currently they're the best for launching things into orbit, I doubt we'd develop anything better for that job in the next 100 years ( i may be wrong), plus Methane is quite easy to find in our solar system so it makes for a sensible fuel option. And no before you ask nuclear engines are a very bad idea for launching stuff, in space YES theyre great, launching fuck no:D
It uses nuclear thermal propulsion so yeah. If it needed oxygen ice is essentially rock there and they already have a nuclear reactor.
*ignites engine and catches entire planet on fire*
I am suddenly struck with the profound significance of returning to earth after 2.6 years. Not only are you finally returning home, to where everyone you've ever known is, but there's a sense of ennui there. 2.6 years is an entire chapter of your life. That station, and maybe those bases, will have become it's own home to you. It's just like any change that comes with life I suppose. The heartbreaking totality of moving your life somewhere new, or returning to where you once knew. It is a wildly esoteric and yet intensely familiar situation.
This is exactly how I felt
I believe I recall reading somewhere that the command leader of Apollo 17 said some along the lines of "People talk about living and work on the moon, but I did you know I had a job and I had a house..." he was much more reflective on the experience then his partner who realized since it was the last Apollo mission and time was short he had to focus on the tasks at hand as there wasn't going to be another chance to get this scientific data.
@@SD352-68 Which is why it won't be done with *current* (that is, chemical) propulsion...
Even solid-core nuclear-thermal won't cut it for that distance. It'll have to be gas-core NTRs at least, maybe nuclear salt water rockets, or if possible, fusion (I don't expect any amendments to the Outer Space Treaty that would allow nuclear pulse).

although it is long, its LEAGUES shorter than if the craft used a standard Saturn transfer
and i am stuck thinking how this monstrosity of a ship turns
Gorgeous mission and video! The shots around Saturn are the most stunning I've seen in a ksp video. I'm a fan
U are real u can be verified
The biggest honor a ksp video can get: Stratzenblitz commenting
@@therobot1080 indeed
I haven't seen a cinematic KSP video of this higher quality since Maccollo's RSS Venus mission: ruclips.net/video/ONP9jS14toE/видео.html Really touched the sweet spot for me.
Whoa! This guy commented here!
Hell yes!
Hello
Hello Mr Marcus big fan from India
hello marcus, i love your videos, hello from brazil
Hey heyy
give this guy a shout out on Saturday Marcus!
That awkward moment when this looks leagues better than KSP2…
Ksp2 is more of a cartoon ish game, and I like it that way, as it makes it more approachable for people new to space stuff. However, I bet mods will come out to make it look stunning
@@AHHHHHHHH21 I tried to play ksp2 on start of access , and tired yesterday .back then, and now I struggling to put a simple rocket to the moon and it soo laggy sometimes, interface looks familiar but something wrong and it seems much harder to craft the same stuff …
@@madzak9847 was talking about the visuals, not the gameplay
@@AHHHHHHHH21visuals aren't what makes anything approachable. Its the gameplay. And the fact that ksp2 runs like garbage on a big chunk of consumer hardware destroys any idea of 'approachability'.
7:43 it looks like that scene from interstellar. Epic work.
This is something that KSP2 will hopefully have in terms of rocketry and parts, absolutely beautiful looking!
UPDATE: looks like KSP 2 will have some futuristic stuff, considering the developer of FFT is on their team, KSP 2 may not come with stuff like this in the base game but mods will definitely bring this and alot more
update 2: ksp 2 sucks
update 3: ksp 2 might come back, for science update is pretty good
update 4: its joever for ksp 2
hopefully
And graphic
@Dũng Papercrafter "would have"
@@ArcXDZ if they follow through with their promises unlike every other game
@@idkanymore6897 huh I don't remember writing this comment but yeah, I'm optimistic that KSP2 will be one of the best simulators yet
Yay, he's back! No wonder this video took so long if the mission duration is literally 2.6 years :D
By the way: Merry Christmas and a happy new year to everyone reading this comment.
Same to you! 🎄
You too buddy!
Thank you mate!
As to you my friend
With traditional engines (he used a fusion engine for the main ship) this same mission would take around 17 years to complete. 8 years one way from Earth to Saturn and 8 years back
This is so creative! The use of the balloon and heli-rover on Titan threw me for a loop, I had no idea they were coming. I could tell every inch of this mission was meticulously planned out, and I love it!
**NASA engineers and mission planners furiously taking notes in background**
Some of these technologies are only theoretically possible, so don't get your hopes up.
@@yesseru Same was true of rockets. Don't be a naysayer. People declaring what's impossible should step aside from the people making it work.
@@johnsteiner3417 That's exactly my point, they were theoretical, but now they are standard and have been improved upon for years tot he point where we can't imagine a world without them.
@@yesseru But for congress it could've happened in the 1990s. Look up Skylon by a UK company, Reaction Engines.
Funny thing is, most of the issues preventing us from actually doing this is budgetary, the technology is basically there already, we just don't have the money to actually do it.
every christmas he gives us presents, petition for nessus to be the new santa claus
If you zoom enough, you can see the Endurance arriving at saturn too
I always loved that scene from interstellar
@@will2brown50 It made you feel small and insignificant
where an when
When?
@@lucalis032 it’s a joke, and if they left at the same time the endurance would have arrived like 8 months earlier and gone through the wormhole already, because the journey to Saturn was 22 months long, so a little under 2 years, while the trip in the video took 2.6 years
Edit: actually nvm I now see the entire mission including the return lasted 2.6 years, so they would have arrived way before the endurance
Fun fact: Titan is the second most habitable body in the solar system. This is, for the most part, because the atmospheric pressure on Titan is so high that you wouldn't need a full space suit to take a walk on its surface, though you should pack your best winter clothes, as the average surface temperature comes in at around -182°C, and you'd still need an oxygen mask to breathe on Titan, as its atmosphere is not breathable to humans. However, due to the high surface pressure, you would not need a pressure suit to breathe there, provided the oxygen mask outputs the right pressure.
it would be too pressurized
@@222cubing8 The pressure in and off itself would not be a problem. What is important for breathing is that
1: You get a certain pressure of oxygen, and
2: You get a certain percentage of it past some amount of pressure
While our lungs are not made for 1.4 atmospheres, if you do the math, it does work out.
Actually, Venus is more habitable in the upper atmosphere where you would only need and oxygen mask and a plastic suit for acid protection, assuming you are standing on a floating vessel
How would you not need a space suit at -182?
@@TheDennys21 Well, while you probably would need a suit that covers your full body and has active heating to not freeze to death after more than a few minutes, you wouldn't need a full on space suit. The reason you need one on the Moon is that the Moon is in a vacuum. This makes it impossible for you to breathe, even if you have an oxygen mask, because the pressure difference is too big. Your lungs couldn't move the air around, even if there was enough of it for you to breathe, because the pressure difference between the inside of your lung and the outside of your chest would be too big. However, Titan's atmosphere is dense enough that, provided you had an oxygen mask designed for the enviornment, you very much could breathe there, so you wouldn't need a full on pressure suit. Furthermore, any coverings over your face you would need would mostly be to prevent frostbite from liquid hydrocarbon (which, by the way, it rains on Titan), but the atmosphere itself doesn't contain any irritating gases, so you could do without for some time if you had to.
This has to be the most impressive KSP mission I've ever seen. So elaborate and we'll edited. Well done
This is one of the most well thought out, designed, and executed missions I’ve ever seen in KSP. Congrats!

You may like this one then! This mission actually visits every major moon of Saturn.

I'm still so amazed what people can get done in kerbal. One of the greatest games of all time.
The talent of the modding community especially is just jaw dropping, some of the amazing things they make possible is awe-inspiring
That centrifuge deployment was beautiful, almost organic...
Absolutely astonishing. I really, reallllllly like the immense attention to detail and cinematicness while retaining the hard logistics of the mission. I probably should go pick up my jaw from the basement...
absolutely love the shot at 16:08 of this massive thing just being gracefully lifted up by a balloon
I’m pretty sure it’s unrealistic. Titan has a dense atmosphere and lower gravity than Earth but still this balloon doesn’t look nearly voluminous enough to displace several tons of atmosphere (especially to rise up to 60km).
You would be surprised how little it can take, I designed a 200ish gram “boat” out of a single sheet of tinfoil and it could carry up to 1.299 kilos
@@Mike-oz4cv Bro, this is a sixth the gravity and 1.5x the atmosphere. That balloon is certainly enough.
@@40watt53 Good point, does this mean you need like 9 times less balloon volume? That’s still only a factor of 2.1 for the balloon diameter thanks to the square cube law.
When the math is mathing: this comment section
Wow! Finally got the time to sit down and watch after Christmas madness. What a great follow-up to your previous video. Some thoughts:
-I love the VentureStar-esque crew launch vehicle. Making it compatible with both Earth and Titan launch is an elegant solution.
-So cool to see the inflatable-headshield interstage, blunt body upper stage reentry vehicle concept. The ITS-inspired(?) booster is neat too.
-300 days to Saturn: wow. Ain't fusion fun!
-A helicopter rover is exactly the right kind of madness that only a Titan mission can make people come up with. Such an alien-looking design.
-The balloon-launched Titan ascent was a similar moment. Anything is possible on Titan it seems lol
-I also laughed at the presentation of the Enceladus mission. After a 4 month stay in comparative luxury on possibly the most fun and interesting body in the solar system, I'm sure I wouldn't be too broken up about "just" taking a quick flags-and-footprints jaunt like that.
I don't know to what extent you head-cannon this stuff, or if it's based on real concepts/research like the Jupiter mission was, but I wanted to ask- do you envision this architecture as doing the first crewed missions to Saturn, or is it a later/more mature design? Do you think this is a late 2000s mission or 2100s? Is the transfer vehicle capable of crew missions to Uranus/Neptune (with modifications), or do you envision starting from a clean slate if you ever pursue missions like those?
Thanks for the wonderful content. Hope to see more from you in the future.
Probably early 2100s. But by then there would be sufficient infrastructure in the outer solar system so something like this could be used to transfer heavier payloads to anywhere in the solar system.
Thanks for your thoughts! There was definitely some head-cannon involved in making this, it would be pretty dumb to land on such an interesting moon like Enceladus and just plant a flag, just imagine another month of science on the surface :D The main technological hurdles are obviously the engine and fusion fuel storage, I'm certainly not a qualified person to talk about this but I would guess a mission like this is at least 100 years in the future (the HOPE study also proposed a fusion option using magnetized target fusion with similar performance to the engine in this video). I do hope we don't have to wait 100 years to see humans at Saturn, a mission with less payload (maybe only landing on Enceladus) would certainly be possible with the technology from my last video. Since the spacecraft itself comes back to Earth in one piece and the transfer time is only one year, I could see this as the beginning of regular missions to Saturn to build a larger colony, maybe even with people living permanently on Titan.
@@NessusKSP Assuming SpaceX starts sending people to Mars in 2031 (relatively conservative but a little optimistic too), and Starship launch cost gets down to low single digit millions (possible even without rapid reusability (although I think they will achieve that eventually within the next 5-10 years), just have to have a large fleet of fully reusable rockets), I think we will see an unprecedented growth of the "space economy". Assuming this happens, its reasonable to imagine there could be a decently sized colony at Mars by 2050 (anywhere between tens of thousands to around a hundred thousand people possibly). Once you have a colony at Mars with tens of thousands of people, you could go from there to Ceres and from Ceres to Jupiter and so on. That kind of development would probably put any first humans to Saturn sometime in the 2070s-2090s I imagine. Another way of getting to Saturn potentially much sooner in the future is if plasma magnet sails are used, which could be feasible if the launch costs lower enough that testing them by non-government/non-profit groups becomes feasible. In that case I think people could go to Saturn by the 2050s.
@@fork9001 NTR Isp is inversely proportional to molar mass after decomposition. LCH4 decomposes to HCx radicals and hydrogen/protons at NTR temperatures so you get 60-80% of LH2 performance without the retarded headaches that come along with LH2 handling.
I wouldn’t consider Titan to be the most interesting and fun body, that would be earth. Titan would be next though.
man you are criminally underrated. This is some fantastic film making, your projects are so well edited and your style of presentation is incredible.
love your content, keep it up mate.
Never thought I needed a venture star strapped to the top of a starship booster until now. Great work!
A VentureStar lifting off from the surface of Titan carried on a gigantic balloon...
This has to be one of the coolest KSP videos I've watched in a while. Well done!
I did not understand
@@edineis271ney7 wdym
This is one of the coolest KSP videos I've seen. 2.6 years with near(ish) future tech, really awesome to see a realistic Saturn mission play out
Oh look! A rover! So weird solar panels...
*Rover starts flying*
Hnestly this was astounding. The sound, the scope and scale, the planning, everything. Its otherworldly yet so familiar.
The long awaited return… Amazing work!
Wow. Just. WOW! I got KSP for Christmas last year, and have fallen in love with the immensely prosperous opportunities the game presents the playerbase. This is a shinning example of what can be accomplished. Not only is the gameplay beyond anything I could dream of making, but it is seamlessly edited and was a delight to watch. Keep up the amazing work, and I hope Nasa, SpaceX, Firefly, or some other space organization hires you. Keep up the good work!
yes
He doesn’t own ksp 😂😂😂
@@pumpkinh3d286 wat?
Ksp is absolutely meaningless if you're trying to become an actual aerospace engineer or something in the rocket science field. Sorry to break it to you. I was a very good ksp player, went to uni for aerospace engineering and flunked out. Never went to a party, never once drank or did drugs, I studied more than anyone in my hall (no seriously, I studied like 5 hours a day), got a tutor for calculus, but I was a terrible test taker and could not get good grades no matter what.
@@bailey2517 Dude, you arent supposed to take it literally. You would have to be an idiot if you think that a video game can get you a job at NASA lmao. This just seems like an excuse to target your vent at someone else.
Amazing!!! A simple 'Like' could not justify the appreciation I have for the amount of efforts that not only went into creating the vehicles and conducting the mission, but to also create an amazing video from the captured footage is absolutely Above and Beyond. Great Job
This is the most well planned, elaborate, perfectly designed mission i've ever seen on KSP, good job mate.
"Considerably bigger scope than [the Jupiter mission]"
Woah. Can't wait to watch! Thanks for the upload.
Blown away by all the work that had to go into this. The mods, the great framerate, with the mods. The amazing textures and detail and the great shots to explain the mission. Thank you for spending the time to do this!
У меня нет слов, дух захватывает от увиденного.
Храни тебя Господь!
Да уж , классный мультик !)
The transition at 1:25 is just beautiful. No cuts, and the music lines up perfectly! The mission is beautifully made as well
Amazing! I would go as far as to say I’m even more impressed by the editing than the gameplay itself. But even that was just phenomenal. It brought a smile to my face when the little helirover lifted off the ground along with On the Beautiful Blue Danube. Great video!
Man, finnaly he uploaded video we waited almost 2 years.
I can't express how gorgeous all of this is. Stunning visuals, beautiful soundtrack, phenomenal editing. What a masterpiece of a video. Huge props to the mod creators, the creators of KSP, and to you who made the craft, the voyage and the making of the video.
Great job! Both mission itself and camera work was stunning! And really cool spacecrafts.
Ur saturn video is impressive
Absolutely beautifully made. The Craft, the mission, the visuals... It felt Zen and Epic at the same time. I already knew you were a great modder, but watching your videos kind of makes me doubt you're a real person. How can you be this good at everything :D
Happy Holidays o/
This is really impressive! Far Future tech, let alone Near Future tech is so hard to work with, especially considering you’re doing this on RO/RSS! Well done!
Thank you so much for including all the mods you've used. This video was gorgeous.
It is just genius! I love this film, I would watch more of this kind of films. Beautiful editing, nice execution of the mission, well prepared. Please, make more video like this. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year as well!
Absolutely incredible video! The music was really well thought out too and helped the video a lot. Also, didn't expect that enceladus mission, great job!
This absolutely exceeded my expectations ^-^ I hope you do more
Fantastic. Your execution of streamlined designs, parts, and modularity would make an actual NASA project manager proud. Now that you have that BEAST in orbit, you can use it for more and more missions!
Hoooowwww did you done this?!
This was incredible!!!!!!!
I've never seen anyting like that in my whole KSP carrier!!!
You gained another subscriber!
This is exactly what i want to see possible stock in KSP 2, and I love that realistic skybox!
This was like watching a movie! Truly one of the greatest ksp videos I’ve ever seen
This video was amazing. Not only due to the fact that it looks completely different from what KSP normally looks like and looks amazing while doing it. Not only because you synced some of the actions with the music. Not only because it was so cool to watch. But because it was just a stunning mission to watch (plus everything I said before). Well done Nessus, I will be looking forward to watching more of your video's.
Loved the unique way you did the large station. Loved that you used rovers to connect the modules on the Titan base, and having a helicopter included. Also I really enjoyed the video editing. Very unique and clever on it all. Always enjoy your KSP creations
Wow. I think that’s really cool. I think it’s especially interesting how the secondary stage could be recovered and how the first stage looked a lot like it’s from a SpaceX rocket.
Insane design and cinematography, good job !!!
I´ve seen many KSP videos. But this one is by far the most outstanding piece of engineering, planning and calculation i´ve ever seen. Well done Nessum, well done.
Wow Very Inpressive. I can't imagine the amout of work and planning you put in to this. Just amazing. I wish KSP looked like that when I played it many, many years ago. Eye candy adds so much to the sim. It is one thing to get all the mechaniics right, but then seeing those amazing views of Earth in your vid especially on the return trip, was incredible. Very Emotive.
first i watch the JWST launch, then this masterpiece
a good day for space fans
This is already one of my all time favorite KSP videos
Honestly the music makes the perfect combination with the scenes from the video, you deserve more than that my ksp friend!
I un-liked it... just so I could like it again :) My gosh that was an extremely well thought out and executed mission! I've never seen anything quite on this level before. All of the sequences were very well recorded and put together too. I especially enjoyed the balloon ascent... that caught me so off guard and definitely surprised me. Kudos to you.
This channel is the very definition of QUALITY over QUANTITY
This is so epic! i'm watching it 5 times and still it's so cool :)
This! Is! Nuts! Both mission logistics/execution and video editing is fantastic. I wish more videos like that to be in the main school programs (as well as KSP).
Damm I thought the Jupiter Mission you made was the best KSP project I've seen but this is just massive
Well done, can't wait for the Uranus mission
I am in a loss for words. Absolutely stunning!
A great cinematography experience, good job men
Saturn is gorgeous, and you made something almost prettier, not to mention the detail and believability of everything just from the sheer confidence and care put into presenting it.
I just got round to watching this; absolutely beautiful! Thank you for creating this marvelous video! 👌👍
Post or not your vids are incredible and I hope your doing well. Merry Christmas!
Total work of art, the whole thing. The best mods I think I've seen too.
Thats one of the most beautiful KSP movies I've seen, with good background music. Just amazing what you did there
What an excellent video. Excellent all across the board.
Your nods to Kubrick haven't gone unnoticed either. Masterfully executed!
Waiting for u my man, it has been so long, great video
Absolutely wonderful. I could totally see this as CGI for a professional hard sci-fi show.
Everyone's a gangster until the NASA rover prototype starts flying
This is absolutely beautiful and makes me even more excited for the future. Thank you!
C'est juste magnifique ! I love KSP
Damn that's beautifull ! I always wondered how y'all are making those very precise meetings in orbit. Everytime I tried to do a space station by assembling piece by piece in orbit, it went wrong D:
What a tremendous mission ! Congrats for making this incredible KSP movie !
The spaceship reminds me of the "Pegasus" spacecraft from the documentary "Space Odyssey : Voyage To The Planets" but without a shield.
Wow! This was so cool to watch and great camera shots of the crafts as well!!! You earned a sub here! Great vid.

The second I saw this was uploaded, I clicked on it. You legitimately make some of the best KSP content I have ever seen. Keep it up!
Amazing! Well done! Bravo! As someone who considers Titan my “sweetheart” among the terrestrial bodies, I am absolutely in love with this video! Delighted to see that you’ve incorporated a lifting body design for the descent onto Titan, I’ve been raving about that for some time now! What really amazed be here was the fast paced ground station construction. It had a sort of simple yet complex elegance to it. Like trailer homes in space, such an obvious yet ingenious solution. I really have to give you props for that. The 330 day transfer as well, that I hadn’t even considered. I guess the future is brachistochromic, isn’t it? “If I shoot for Saturn and miss, at least I’ll land among the stars” said the wayward colony, zipping out of Earth’s gravity well at hundreds of kilometers per second, strapped to the business end of a fusion reactor. This is an incredible mission you’ve put into cinematic form. Well done!
PS Like everyone else, I have to admit I gave a chuckle at the helicopter rover scene. I’m sure it’d work, one of the many benefits of Titan’s peculiar environment, but it is really reminiscent of the opening dialogue of the Bee Movie, “its wings are too small for its body, yet it flies anyway, because it doesn’t care what you think”!
Loved the fantasy parts like a fusion engine and a working Starship heavy booster
I might steal some of the general starship-like LV configurations from you for later :P
If this mission were to happen in real life, I couldn’t even imagine how much money it would cost to make and how long it would take for that whole space station to be made and then how long it would take to get to Saturn and come back!
Probably the cost of the useless invasians of Afghanistan and Iraq.
@@albertvanderheiden7419 Not if they used starships and designed the vehicle to be as cheap as possible. But we all know the only way that'd be possible if SpaceX was leading it, at least based on the current state of NASA.
@@therealist3495 In the current state of NASA and Congress's interests this mission would never even leave the pen that would be used to draw on the drawing board
First ever video I've seen from your channel, and I think it's great, 👍🏻 so I've decided to subscribe straight away to see what's next.
I really enjoyed watching it from start to finish, a very 2001 A Space Odyssey like enjoyable.

You create the most amazing videos! I have been using some of your old configs you have shared, but I am wondering if there is a possibility you might share your configs and scripts for us plebs? I know you have spent hours upon hours on perfecting them, and it just looks amazing to pull something like this off.
I would also watch you on twitch if you were to stream there ;)
