No craft file provided, as the build is much slower than usual such that you can easily follow-along. I always encourage people to try and build stuff for themselves so that they can "enhance their own skillz" ;)

You should call the Project "Racing the Space Race"
Heck yeah
Yea
Yup
oh, great name
Race space race
From now, this is my favorite series of KSP
Mine too!
Mine three!
me too!
Now this is a certified space moment

Yes.
I would have liked to see a recreation of Neil Armstrong's Gemini 8. When one of the thrusters was stuck on and the spacecrafts went into a uncontrolled roll.
Exactly!
No he was one upping nasa without bugs
Gemini 10: Michael Collins did 2 space walks, and was the first human to do so.
The first human to do it was a cosmonaut named Aleksei A. Leonov in March of 1965, the first American was Ed White in Gemini 4 the following june.

You should have used the agena to boost your orbit! Gemini 11 did this and holds a orbit record that stands today. Gemini 11 wasn’t the only mission to use the agena engine but it’s the only one that go that high. Love the videos!
This! Thank you for saying that
You beat me to it lol. I was even waiting for him to do a boost while they were docked, too. I'd thought it was done on 12, but that was solely from memory. Glad you had the real facts haha.
everyone: wen hop
me: when sovietic crafts
Tbh I can't wait to see you do a Skylab recreation
Skylab and Salyut/Almaz are such interesting points in space history imo
As a space history super-buff (self-named)
I approve and love what you're doing Matt please many many more
I’m not quite sure whether your name is related to space history 😆
Gonorrhea is space-borne
I can't wait to see in the future: "Ksp 2: Recreating the whole Artemis program speedrun"
Congratulations on being featured on the ksp2 showcase!
That caught me off guard and I didn't realize it was his until the kraken ate it 😂
I think you should try to do the flying Gemini capsule, where they thought they could turn Gemini into a paramotor craft and land it. That would be interesting if you could work that out.
I was just thinking he should do the rogallo wing!
Tricky to do! But I think it'd possible using a kerbal parachute 🤔
@@MattLowne I think Scott Manley did it.
@@MattLowne and as a big fan of Gemini, I was really mad to find out they made the Gemini service module the same width as the fuel tanks and without a taper.
@@jakemckee2005 tbf having it tapered would have meant having to have another set of tanks and parts of that diameter in addition to the new 1.85m size, so I understand why they did it.
NASA engineers hate him:
title of the series should be "Matt Lowne's Race into Space" in honour to our forgotten DOS game, "Buzz Aldrin's Race into Space".
yes
I know I am late but this video actually means a lot to me. My grandfather was actually one of the NASA computer programmers who actually worked on the Gemini missions (as well as the later Mercury missions)
5:00 "And I don't mean to inflate my own gazebo here"... Thank you Matt. I don't think any of us want to see that. :)
"Not to twang my own banjo but..."
@@rbxless There is, of course, no way you could know that I actually play the banjo. I'm not sure if I'm enjoying the joke or if I'm being the joke. Oh wait, that's right, I'm a banjo player... :)
@@somerandomnification Haha I was quoting Matt in an older video I'm not a stalker
@@rbxless So you're saying that Matt's the stalker... Somehow I knew this was all about me! :)

I love this series! Definitely want to see you recover all the debris left scattered around the Kerbin system.
You forgot using the Agena to boost the Gemini to a higher orbit and/or using the Agena to go to a higher orbit, then using it to go to a lower orbit rendezvousing with another Agena.
It's just me nitpicking though, this was highly entertaining indeed!
Fun fact: Waterfall has effects for the rcs thrusters! Matt left the old models for the 4 and 5 way thrusters on the stock crafts so that’s why they didn’t show up
What a good moment to watch Matt KSP video In Raining day
I look forward to these every week, thanks Matt! Perhaps you could have raised your orbit with the Agena and then spiraled out of control a la Gemini VIII. Always room for improvement. JK. JK. Nice work.
Been waiting for this episode
7:35
matt: allowing me to one up those noobs at NASA
NASA: WHY U BULLY ME
Matt... This is awesome keep up the good work!
Yes he is my favorite
Damn dude, you make this look too easy.
amazing video matt having a catch not watched for a while due to being busy ive missed the videos

every vids of matt lowne is Very EXCITING!!!
missed the crazy spinning that neil armstrong did
What’s the next program? I’m personally exited for Soyuz
Same
Im hyped for Appollo lol
Vostok first

3:58 the space music at that altitude tripped me up
5:20 Matt, there’s an anime called Planetes, which is about Orbital Debris collection in the near future. I dunno how much you know about anime, but Planetes is actually very scientifically accurate on how spaceships works, how debris are very dangerous, and there are bits of details that makes the viewer appreciate how the director understands the soundless beauty of vacuum.
There’s is a ship in the show called DS-12 “Toybox”, it’s debris collection ship that have little rugs inside to capture large debris, bring it back to the space station or have have it de-orbited.
Maybe do something like that?
To simulate Gemini 8, take a laptop to a fast carousel and, while spinning IRL, spin the capsule in KSP. Then stabilise it, without the use of SAS, and in cocpit view.
ok now this is the earliest i have ever been. 1 minute ago? holy!
And you managed to do it without spinning out of control due to a malfunctioning RCS thruster!
Seriously though, the Gemini series is seriously underappreciated. It was in Gemini that we really learned the functional basics of how to operate in space.
Also, after resisting my whole life, I've finally come around to pronouncing it "Gimunee." I figure that if it was good enough for NASA and Walter Cronkite then it's good enough for me.
I love this series!
Hey, Can you also do modern projects like SLS and alternate history projects like the soviet moon rocket the n1.
Ya,That would be nice
He's done both, N1 twice.
Gemini Seven sounds hellish. You would absolutely have to pick two astronauts who liked each other for that, or at the very least, two who could tolerate each other.
Now this is a certified moment
Yeah! Finally the splendid Gemini program!
Great Series Already
While not a scheduled test, the Gemini 8 accident was a huge test of pilot control systems and could be considered a post-hoc mission objective (training on how to correct an out of control spin is now standard astronaut training based on the lessons learned from Gemini 8). Perhaps you could do a separate series connected to this one which recreates accidents (Gemini 8, Appollo 13, Challenger, Columbia, etc.)?
Also, are you planning to make a skylab?
They trained for out of control spins in Mercury with the big spinny chair, I believe.
@@tvre0 The big spinny chair was to test astronauts for disorientation, but it wasn't a simulator during during mercury and gemini, iirc. They do use it for that now though. In the early days they had to do math calculations and flip switches and do other complex tasks in the spinny chair, but they had no control over the actual chair. The original Mercury prototype didn't even have any pilot controls at all, as the engineers thought of astronauts as merely the passengers in their engineering marvel. it was the first 7 that insisted on the ability to pilot the craft directly (if they hadn't, Armstrong and Scott would likely have been killed in Gemini 8, as would Lovell, Haise, and Swigert on Apollo 13).
Was pleasure flying with Lowne aerospace.
Matt, when you'll get into RO+RSS+RP1 and show the real recreations or use it in other series of yours?
Cheers!
Nasa be like - Give his address We are hiring him right now 🤣🤣
It's look super good my guy 😁
I’ve watched every video in this series, I even watched the Soviet space program. I’m on mobile and I’ve been playing spaceflight simulator. And I’ve took inspiration from each video and made it in sfs!
Can't wait to see Matt speedrun Starship prototypes lol
I can’t wait for the apollo program part
The highlight of the weekend
You make very good models!
"So maybe at the end of this series I'll do a big deep space cleanup"
Well that aged like milk
The large flight info was 👌🏻
Matt throughout this video: nasa has ppl who has skill issues and I will be ez on them becuz am pro
Just waiting for this
You realy deserve 1 mil
You should try to recreate the venera 9 mission its a probe mission but almost noone knows about it and it deserves more attention
The only Venera I've heard of is a resturaunt on Venus: Venera Bread
The entire Venera program is probably the most famous and well-known Venus program lol. It would be fun to recreate but I'm not sure how interesting it would be for a video, given that it's a robotic craft and there's no return mission
@@MattLowne Do you have planet shine mod installed?
Project gemini has always been my favourite, the look of the space craft was cool it often doesn't get mentioned unlike apollo, or mercury but it made some great achievements like the first american space walk in gemini 4 and the first docking of two spacecraft together in gemini 8
It is interesting to me because it is almost like a bridge between Mercury and Apollo. It also paved the way for all space stations as it he,led us learn to dock and spacewalk.
Cant wait for Apollo!
dang, 10 minutes after i went to sleep after being up in the middle of the night, i missed a matt lowne upload. feelsbadman
This is nice
engines can't be re-ignited an infinite amount of times unless the fuel is hypergolic
I've seen a Titan II in person, and you're correct about it being taller.
8:25 The AJ-10 could be ignited nearly indefinitely. It was used in its various versions on a variety of spacecraft and upper stages, including the Apollo Service Module the Titan Transtage, and the Delta II upper stage.
All it needed to light was the propellant lines to open, due to using hypergolic propellants. I believe this indefinite property was true for the Apollo Service Module. Transtage limited it to 3 ignitions. I think Delta II upper stage only did one burn, due to being a lunch stage and not an orbital maneuvering stage.
Hello I love ur content keep it up
epic, new vid
Best RUclipsr no better so good
very epic
LESS GOOOOOOOOO1!!!!!1!!11 PART 2 BABY!!!!11!
i'm waiting for apollo program speedrun ;)
Notification pogger. this is a always good way to start the weekend
You forgot the part where the Agena docking nearly killed the astronauts as the Gemini capsule started spinning uncontrollably
please continue this and next do shuttle!
Amazing
Good vid
Another video from our amazing British Rocket Scientist! Maybe you could try and colonize Minmus.
Great lowne
“At the end of the day this series is not only about me showcasing you know very famous historic space flights, but also allowing me to one up the noooobs at NASA and showcasing my superior ability’s as a rocket scientist“ Matt Lowne 2k21. What do you mean he doesn’t brag a lot…
Loving this. Looking forward to seeing the Russian half of the race... :-)
matt: no craft file. me, who sucks at building anything in ksp: why do you have to bully me
There have been a couple historical missions to destroy/retrieve space debris. It would be pretty cool if you were to "one-up" them by getting it all in one launch while still showcasing what the original did
So Matt, next year there's only one way to top this. Do it in again but in Realism Overhaul...
Honestly I was kinda triggered that he left the service module untangled but still one of my favorite series
"gemeni 6, 8 and 7" mwtt lowne 2021 learned to count
Huh, I didn't realize how little I knew about the Gemini program
Its kinda the black sheep of the historical space capsules. I think the mercury was much more known.
Ahh, Gemini (correctly pronounced herein as Gem-in-eye, +1 Matt!) my second favourite space project. Get it?, second favourite See Lowne thinks he's got all the hip jokes, well we'll see about that, matey!! ;-)
Are there people that pronounce it differently?
I feel like you missed an important milestone from the Gemini program: John Young's smuggled corned beef sandwich.
FYI kerbin at 2.7x scale is just right to still use stock parts and makes the single burn to orbit just something you do most of the time following an efficient gravity turn. It adds about 2000 Dv to your accent. The other planets will depend on witch planet pack you go with.
Will you do a Gemini 11 where they used the Agena Target Vehicle to boost the capsule into an even higher orbit? That would be fun to see!
“We have your spacecraft free indication, what seems to be the problem”

1960s NASA: "We have the best and most brilliant engineers, massive government funding, and a mandate to put people to space. This is what we can do stretching the limits of technology and the laws of physics."
50 some odd years later Matt Lowne playing a computer game: "Those noobs at NASA..."
If I recall correctly one of their objectives was spinning the Gemini Agena together to create some gravity. Well, instead they managed to spin Gemini around its main axis instead and have the astronauts nearly pass out and die. Luckily Neil Armstrong had a Jeb moment and saved the day.
There is one thing. On Gemini 10, the Agena was used to boost the Gemini-Agena combination to a higher orbit.
The best channel 😀😀😀😀😀😀😀
This is lowne aerospace’s origin story
