Me: "Oh he's going to a Minmus orbit! wow!" Bradley: "...to land that, I actually..." Me: *wtf?* Bradley: "Also 360 m/s should be enough to get back to Kerbin" Me: *actual midlife crysis*
I do love how he just casually doesnt talk about how hes orbiting Kerbin several times, *while entirely inside the atmosphere and in an unpowered glide*
Before I could even get a qualified run for my SRB river kile run, Brad goes and does this. Stunning work as always! I was actually surprised to see that this could manage the return trip too, but I see that the Mun gravity assist and Minmus wheel braking helped a lot with that. ... Now I need to get back to work...
That must've taken A LOT of part-clipping to get all those boosters in there! Judging by the exterior, I would've thought it was just one Clydesdale that somehow was able to go all the way to Minmus...
I love how such a simple yet elegant rule, no staging allowed, has brought so much depth and intrigue; and kept players of your caliber with a game that is approaching 10 years old. Keep up the awesome work! :D
@@buttersquids Of course not because it depends on smart design instead of just adding more boosters. Anyone can get to Moho, Tylo or Eve and back with enough stages. To do it with certain stage or mass constraints makes it more challenging and interesting.
The initial thrust limits are the biggest issue. Otherwise, the ISP is very similar to SRBs. You could probably get almost anywhere using the "refueling tug to Minmus" approach used in the Minimal Bill Eve Lander. Eve and Tylo are probably no-gos though, just for reasons of physics. I would be happy to be proven wrong though.
Goodness, the things you pull off never cease to amaze me. That landing in particular was excellent. Pulling off that kind of landing at all is tough enough... with no throttle control? I shudder to think.
Little note: its possible to sync the thrust limit of srbs to throttle. How it acts is it will throttle up, but throttling down is slow (but it is throttle cotrol)
For the minmus takeoff, what's the advantage of burning the 2 SRBs one at a time vs together? Although miniscule, wouldn't the higher acceleration from burning both together reduce the delta V lost to gravity?
Can you do an equation series? I would love to see the math for this on screen as you do it. You mention some nice numbers but my curiosity as to what formulas are used and how it all looks is orbital.
I can’t decide how Kerbal this is. On one hand, it’s literally all boosters, and something like sixty of them, but it’s such an elegant design that I hesitate to call it properly Kerbal.
This is absolutely, ridiculously silly. And I believe Mr Stance is fully aware of that fact. It is also a ridiculously cool achievement, with very decent documentation of it too.
Great video! personally, I consider it cheating to have part clipping to the extent that you had it in this video. Do you think it would be possible without part clipping?
I have stopped questioning the why, now I only have the HOWWWW? Do you do the exact math to know for how long each booster should burn, tons of quicksaving, or multiple tries? (Or all of the above?) I'm impressed that you got a good periapsis for aerobreaking, and then you even land on the KSC. Awesome work, man!
That Minmus landing! *chef's kiss* I can understand it needing a literal metric ton of reaction wheels. On large semi-realistic builds, I'm starting to rely on RCS instead of reaction wheels because if you don't clip the wheels together, they just take up too much space, requiring large heavy cargo bays in spaceplanes. But I suppose I could clip several together and just say they're heavier wheels, couldn't I? Edit! The Kerbin gliding was wonderful too! :D

Oh god calm down
I fear what incomprehensible constructs lie in your mind
Stratz, you should try to achieve lightspeed in the shortest time possible (no mass drivers)
The most impressive part is that landing. I’m in shock you managed that.
I've seen it done before, and even (barely) pulled it off myself but using only SRBs takes it to the next level after the next level!
The landing on Minmus is absolutely beautiful. Perfectly timed the rotation to put all wheels down at the same time!
The most impressive part is heat resistanse of the tail section
@@kosiak10851 nah
Next: Drain Valves to Eve
uhhh... you cant do that anymore becau.. nevermind you can actually still do it, but it is just even harder
Don't think its possible. The thrust is almost nothing and eves gravity is A LOT greater than kerbins

When he said one stage I thought he was just gonna hit the space bar and watch the magic happen
Because if there is a stupid idea in KSP, Brad does it. BRADLEY ALWAYS DOES IT!
Don't I know it.
idk
If it's stupid, but it works, it's not stupid :D
I would say that doing stupid things is the intended experience of KSP. This may be it in its purest form, a ship built entirely out of MOAR boosters.
Yeah, but he makes it not stupid.
That flying at the end was as if not more impressive that the whole "getting to Minmus and back on SRBs" thing.

Well, with enough stages you could do anything, so that’s boring.
@@Mike-oz4cv is this video boring to you then?

@@Mike-oz4cv Ah, I misunderstood your original comment. I thought you were saying SSTOs are boring because you can do anything with enough boosters.
Brad: SRBS have no throttle
Me: _Laughs in KAL Controller Thrust Curves_
The kal controller is a bit broken lol, i launched a launch clamp using it
(And its in my ksp video :P)
Delightful. Though with the density of all those clipped boosters, your fuel must be a solid bar of metallic hydrogen in there...
the landing 😲
No one:
Absolutely no one:
Not a soul:
Bradley: Hold my beer.
On a serious note, absolutely excellent video as always. An incredibly skilled feat.
The lad never fails to impress me
Mad Lad Brad
That Minmus landing was one of the most elegant things I've ever seen.
Brad, I challenge you to go as far as possible with monopropellant.
The initial thrust limits are the biggest issue. Otherwise, the ISP is very similar to SRBs. You could probably get almost anywhere using the "refueling tug to Minmus" approach used in the Minimal Bill Eve Lander. Eve and Tylo are probably no-gos though, just for reasons of physics. I would be happy to be proven wrong though.
Eve is impossible without propellers, the isp of the engines is 0 (at least at sea level, but even at 9 km of altitude the pressure is high
finally someone who can realistically touchdown an aircraft
I destroyed the runway landing a 10 ton plane '-'
that stream with Stratzenblitz was so much fun. I wish I could have caught more of it. I'll have my submission in soon!
thing that can be done easily with jets/rockets: exists
Brad: *srb time*
“Let me tell you why this challenge is challenging”
“Ahhhh so the floor is made out of floor”
The precision on this build is Unreal. Bravo Brad, bravo
Been looking forward for this video since the stream!
Every single video is a masterpiece. Super interesting and entertaining. Keep it up!
Goodness, the things you pull off never cease to amaze me. That landing in particular was excellent. Pulling off that kind of landing at all is tough enough... with no throttle control? I shudder to think.
That Minmus touchdown was super silky smooth. Impressed as always!
NASA Scientists real quiet rn
As always, Brad, really cool, glad I subscribed!
massive rockets to get orbit: NO
medium sized rockets to the mun: no
printer and a firework to jool: ye
awesome stuff Bradley, very impressive
You Sir, Are a Madman.
That one person in school: Math is nonsense! Where are you even gonna use it at?
Bradley: To use a ventilator and willpower to reach sun orbit
That landing was wonderful! It's like a Door delivery of a minmus sample lol
Jesus christ, that last part was insane, that thing has so much velocity!
Man that landing 🗿
That was actually amazing and nerve wracking.
Just the unpowered cross-range this has had me done. You squeeze things out of the game I never even knew possible
Every video you make I find myself thinking "God dammit Brad! You can't keep getting away with this!"
That landing was buttery smooth
Freaking incredible
you really see those reaction wheels shine while making those turns at 30m/s when landed back onto kerbin
Had you considered using SRBs on a direct-eject course out of Kerbin to your target?
I'd love to see a review of your aerodynamic trickery.
That's the most impressive landing i've ever seen
I always watch full ads for u brad, ur content is amazing!
66 shrimp
execute order 66
2 years from now, this guy is going to do an unguided grand tour, I can see it now.
Bradley: “Having SRB not being able to be throttled isn’t the worst. It’s all efficiency.”
Wow. Amazing. How are you doing during the virus? It's been hard for us all.
The titles of your videos get more and more ridiculous each time you post! Great work Bradley.
I'm convinced you are a wizard
Prove me wrong, I *dare you*
Is anyone even talking about just how AMAZING his SSTO looks?
Commenting to help this in the algorithm
Amazing !
How much that big boy weight ?
And awesome energy management at the end before the landing !
Very impressive

You're a wizard
“Unusually rapid ascent” 🤣
When will you rescue Bill from Laythe?

why da button not working
WHY IS NOT WORK
I just figuered it out, I WAS PRESSING THE WRONG BUTTON
You mean that nuclear ssto?
@@MartinMizner yeah. The single NERV engine one.
wow. just wow
It's all very impressive, don't get me wrong - but clipping to this extent just doesn't feel right.
My man just flew from minmus to Kerbin without using a single rocket
Catch a G or H type comet and transport it to Kerbin's orbit
Sweet Kerbal crab cakes this is incredible
YES!!!! New vid!
2:10 _"Quite a lot of aerodynamic trickery and clipping has occurred..."_ Skillful use of passive voice!
I can’t decide how Kerbal this is. On one hand, it’s literally all boosters, and something like sixty of them, but it’s such an elegant design that I hesitate to call it properly Kerbal.
"moar boosters" does not always mean "more _ugly_ boosters"
That kerbin landing gave me anxiety
This is absolutely, ridiculously silly. And I believe Mr Stance is fully aware of that fact.
It is also a ridiculously cool achievement, with very decent documentation of it too.
Great video! personally, I consider it cheating to have part clipping to the extent that you had it in this video. Do you think it would be possible without part clipping?
Haha that getting out of the rocket on Minmus though. :D Besutiful rolls over the nose of the aircraft.
1:50 wow that's one good looking vehicle, imma build something like that
Awesome video Brad! May I ask, what is your education background? Your knowledge of orbital manoeuvres is really something.
needlessly showing off w/ that landing via the scenic route, oh you !
What are those scatterers in the monte carlo run footage? In the beginning of the video
7:28 nobody gonna mention how perfect a dismount that was?
безумное вождение.
Dear brad, I challenge you to make it to minmus or the mun only using the closed cycle of the rapiers
What a rockstar ! What controler are you using to fly in atmosphere ?
Nice landing
Squad: Minmus is the easiest body to land on.
Bradley Whistance: I think not.
Moar Boosters good! The Kerbal way.

Cool!
is Bill Kerman's new Hairstyle stock, it is kind of cool
Next video: from eve's sea level to landing on all planets only on ion engines
This guy: hello and today were using a SSTO to go to minmus
*the 28 stages on the left* : oh dont mind me :>
Brad: can land on ksp from any angle
Me: never hits ksp even from LEO
(Is there a way to control the landing spot of something like a command pod?)
I noticed that you were applying some nice fine control to your spacecraft. What do you use? Controller? Flight stick?
I used a joystick control for the Kerbin approach and landing
Me: *can't make a normal SSTO that can make it into a circular orbit of Kerbin*
Bradley: *grabs some SRBs* give me a second, I have an idea.
Well done!! The visual mod you're using is Spectra, yes?
It’s sad I can’t like this twice
this thing looks like the F104 Starfighter
I challenge you to get to pol and back with a 8 ton wechicle. Btw great video :P
