the only reason i couldnt get to orbit for the first time is i didnt know you needed to burn at certain points so i ended up going escape velocity or just below it and burn up at the south pole
The Flat Kerbin Party tried to execute him with an electric chair. Their plans were foiled by Bill visiting all of Jool’s moons and escaping punishment.
Bill taking off: "Oh, it's gonna dock with a mothership." Bill leaving LKO: "There's a mothership around Minmus." Bill entering Jool SOI: "Mothership." Bill descending to Tylo: "Mothership?" Bill ascending from Pol: "... Where mothership" Bill slingshotting around Eve: "you forgot your mothership"
Just immagine flying by several planets and touching down on several Jupiter moons with nothing more than a fancy chair, just to land on the roof of your office building and going back to work. Your co-worker: Hey, nice to have you back from your holidays. Where have you been? Me: I just took a bit of a detour on the way to work. And btw, check out this hand full of dust from several Jupiter moons.
Can you imagine if some poor intern in the 70's answered the door and there was an honest-to-god astronaut that had just landed there? "Heh. Nice getup. You just get back from some kind of convention or something?" "No. The moon."
The Soviet Vostok cosmonauts had to eject from their capsule and come down by parachute. On Yuri Gagarin's first flight he had to find some local peasants and convince them not to run away screaming. "Don't be afraid, I'm a Soviet citizen like you, I've returned from space and I need a phone to call Moscow!"
I played this game about 500 hours but I got not even a single clue how you can even predict all these trajectories paired with gravity assists lol. I dont even really know what you explain after 2:55 but it kinda made sense lol. Great work!
They are visible when planning your manouvre, just be sure to be in the SOI of an object and an object with higher mass will have a higher effect on your transition
Those minimal missions are brilliant. It is 'easy' to do this challenge with a large modular vehicle. This approach shows true mastery in the orbital mechanics as well as the game physics ...
I got about 25 hours in this game and I’ve already mastered landing on the Mun, Minmus, getting things into stable orbit, sending tourist ships to minmus and back to kerbin safely, etc. but I have never got an interplanetary encounter. YET.
@@TheHill512 Welcome in the awesome kerbol system. Keep on, it's not so hard, and so much pleasure after each achivement(after some fails too). My advice : F5/F9 are your best friends in this game.
@@TheHill512 Wow that's a challenge! :) I just count, on some mission, I use 28 keys to play. I don't even understand how you can play with a xbox controller.
Wow! This is a masterpiece. I can get to the Mün but I can't get back lol. My best moment in KSP so far is landing a probe to minimus and leaving it there because I didn't have fuel to get back lol
TheJere213 yeah me too. I landed 2 manned crafts on the Mun and theyre still there xd. Also one manned craft on the polar orbit of the Mun. I sent a probe around Minmus and now I sent one to Duna.
I've been watching your videos for a long time (didn't realize I wasn't subscribed on this channel) and every single video is amazing. You deserve way more than 22k
Grand jetpack tour next? Only change velocity with the EVA pack, you are allowed to launch capsules for jetpack refuelling earlier though. Visit Everywhere you can with a jetpack (Gilly, bop, pol and minmus I think?)
You can retract and reextend the real landing gear even in a fainring by activating deploy shielded on the landing gear (requires settings-advanced tweakables)
@@thwartificer Where did you see that! Also, I think that Stratzenblitz75's missions are amazing and I don't understand how he builds all those amazing contraptions, but I think that all the amazing missions Brad's done in total are very impressive.
So professional as always, Brad! And somehow you manage to pull it off with a perfect balance of wit. I've noticed that KSP RUclipsrs tend to be really cool in terms of not making sexist/racist jokes (maybe because we're flying little lima beans through space, but I like to have some faith). Bradley Whistance, Stratzenblitz75, and Scott Manley are my go-to examples on this. I love how this community is just too fascinated by science and engineering to get as caught up in trying to one-up the other person. I love how nobody tends to say 'well I could have done that'. Instead everyone celebrates the ingenuity of others, and that's what makes KSP such a wholesome community.
I know it'll never happen, but the spacewalk so low over tylo at 9:00 made me wish that nasa would at some point make a low orbiting mission to the moon
Your videos are the ultimate proof that in space, work smarter, not harder. People (me) could build thousand-ton rockets and fail to do what you did with six well-spent tons, well-flown.
This is nothing short of impressive! Mind blown! And of course you had to show off in the end as if the mission was not almost impossible to start with.... 😄
I Feel like this is just a small department of the KSC that wasn't supposed to get anywhere, and nobody is tracking it, but they did it. So bill comes back from the roof access of the KSC and is just like "guess what i did..."
If only every Sci-Fi ship/travel worked like this. :D (The do this in some Sci-Fi. It looks great when the crew are on barebones craft. Then meet up with stations.)
Ce gars connaît plus sur les lois gravitationnelles spatiales que tous les scientifiques en 1950. Si ils avaient vu cette vidéo à l’époque, il aurait été embauché direct ! U genius 💛🔥
I think the most impressive part of this mission was Bill's backflip dismount on Laythe. In all seriousness though, this was a pleasure to watch and I'm glad to hear you're not done with minimalist missions yet! It was interesting to learn that closing air intakes has a benefit, I'll keep this in mind for the future. Also, were two intakes necessary for this craft?

Imagine being on a moon far away from earth and all you have with you is a spaceship the size of you. I would be worried af.
As long as I knew it would get me there and back, I would be fine.
@@TheHill512 say that after 10 years of mission
Not if your a Kerbal

“No. I just came back from landing on all of Jupiter’s moons. I was sent out 80 years ago with no food on a 6 ton spacecraft.”

I got 250 hours and have only landed on Minmus once
They are visible when planning your manouvre, just be sure to be in the SOI of an object and an object with higher mass will have a higher effect on your transition
I have 0 hours and achieved nothing
I have 800 hours and did the Jool-5 with like a 1000 ton rocket, but this mission is just superior to everything I did
Mods,mods,and a lot of time
"Underrespected?" EVERYONE uses the EVA pack.
Everything Awesome Almost no one uses it for actual manuvers, a lot of people use it to get back to their craft in Minmus etc.
YUP.
i've used it when i run out of fuel on missions to push my ships orbit into the atmosphere
@@oreolamp5676 I often use it do deorbit myself lol. I did it once in class and gathered a small crowd who had begun watching me
Just curious, but exactly how old is Bill at this point? Just the return to Kerbin from Jool orbit was 18 years and 31 days.
He was really hungry and smelled ripe for sure
He's probably millennia old by now if you count every single video he ever made.
he is eternal
Bill, the eternal
Kerbals don't age. The just get hungrier
Those minimal missions are brilliant. It is 'easy' to do this challenge with a large modular vehicle. This approach shows true mastery in the orbital mechanics as well as the game physics ...
Imagine society if this guy was a scientist at NASA
RIP for the astronauts though
Humans suck they need to much snacks,oxygen and have a radiation limit of something like 3 years
Matt Lowne: Takes a whole video to fly under the r&d bridges
Brad: Does it with no effort
Imagine Jet-packing into orbit just to get to your space chair.
18 years!!! If Bill had a child, the child would be an adult when he comes back.
I wouldnt even be able to do something like this with infinate fuel on, amazing job
>Brad: Jool 5 on 6t
>Me: Minmus probe on 16t
(0.0) ._.
>Brad: Jool 5 on 6t

I can't wait for the video but I really wish they got rid of the premier feature
Why though, it's actually amazing, plus he's the one that chose to premier the video not RUclips.
The premier feature doesn't really affect anyone that doesn't want it.
Some outter plants mod could be a good destination for next minimalist episodes...
I never thought I would see someone "stage off" a battery pack
Bro just become a rocket engineer at nasa
That pays well
Nathaniel Pribyla I remember you
Next video:
"Landing on each object with a 1 ton spaceplane. Jool and Kerbol included."
And every asteroid no mining
VISITING EVERY OBJECT IN THE KERBOL SYSTEM ON A 1 TONN SPACE PLANE (ASTEROIDS, KERBOL AND JOOL INCLUDED) NO MIMING OR KRAKEN DRIVES.
matt lowne got nothing on this man

Am I the only one finding 13:17 landing suspicious?
@@goku445 why so? he did an efficient suicide burn and rolled down the mountain to find flatter ground.

I've done 700 hours in KSP and I'm still mind blown. Great job mate
So happy to see you still releasing KSP videos Bradley, you and Matt are my favourite KSP youtubers
Matt Lowne: Why do I hear boss music
"Once reaching Jool, I have a... mostly unhelpful approach of Vall[...¸]". I love your narration style!
You are insane.
(also, if you’re doing the Jool Five in just over 6 tons, you’re allowed some space debris.)
My favorite Kerbal RUclipsr is back!
This has got to be the most impressive and well executed ksp mission I've ever seen. Great job !! Absolutely Subscribed.
maybe a minimalist series, were you use the mods that add the requirement for food and oxygen
this is amazingly intricate. I also really like the commentary.

Wow, weren't you already in it, Saturn?
didn't realize this was posted on my B-day....nice....always love Brad's vids and his ideas
Amazing, truly a minimalist mission of kingly proportions! Absolutely Love this series, and its ingenuity, breathtaking.
I wish you could make another Odyssey by Bill. They are quite funny!
You see. I think im pretty good at KSP. Then I see this shit! Fantastic video mate! Keep being awesome!
one of the most rewarding kerbalisms i've seen for a while. thank you.

Solid effort mate! Very impressive.
Lots of love from me bradley!❤
That glide was 😎👌 extra kerbal-ish
Damn man good work!! This was impressive to say the least.
"Oh yeah the only way you can get back is if you dock with a piece flying in and connect with it. Good luck!
Also, Bill is a champ.
I can imagine the surprise of the Kerbal space center janitor when bill, having come back from a five planet trek, casually knocks on the roof door.
if you click "Deploy shielded" to on you can deploy it inside of fairings, cargo bays, etc
I Feel like this is just a small department of the KSC that wasn't supposed to get anywhere, and nobody is tracking it, but they did it. So bill comes back from the roof access of the KSC and is just like "guess what i did..."

Now jonesing for episode 2 of the masterclass.

You could download one of those Kopernicus planet packs and try to visit the planetary bodies while minimizing mass.
I love that little plane from the intro
would will be extremely fitting when somebody does a 5 set with a 5 ton spacecraft
This series should be named how to torture MR bill kerman, because is stuck alone with no space to move in that vessel.
Awesome mission. Very, very impressive.
VERY impressive. Well done.
In this design, the orbiter is docked directly to Bill's head.
I think the most impressive part of this mission was Bill's backflip dismount on Laythe. In all seriousness though, this was a pleasure to watch and I'm glad to hear you're not done with minimalist missions yet! It was interesting to learn that closing air intakes has a benefit, I'll keep this in mind for the future. Also, were two intakes necessary for this craft?
(P.S how dare you clutter Tylo with space junk. Disgusting.)
BRRRRRRRAAAAAAHHHHH
CAN I GET A HIT OF YOUR JOOL DOOOOOD
Landing gears can normally cycle inside fairings if "deploy shielded" option is on.
I always wondered what was the purpose of that, thanks (now I can land my mk2 ssto)
The best/worst part of KSP is that you don't HAVE to be a math genius to be able to play, but it REALLY helps.
