Hi Y'all! I am noticing a lot of traffic to this video recently, and that is wonderful! However, this isn't the record any more! Proxima and I beat it together a few months ago! ruclips.net/video/7-VFNy7sIrk/видео.html We have also put together a team that is looking at lowering the record even further!
-we'll have to land at high speed bill, luckily there's a part on the ship flexible enough to absorb the force so that nothing else gets damaged - what is it? -your neck
Holy cow, you just defended your dissertation in Kerbology. Well done, Dr. Steve. There where so many cool points during the video: - in-orbit reconfiguration of crafts - Tylo lander, where the "drop tanks" are discarded by an engineer on EVA during the Tylo landing - usage of flags for landing gear and heat shielding - low mass Laythe lander with a sea landing and submarine take-off - storage pods for refilling EVA fuel (I used inflatable airlocks for this) - ultra-low mass eve lander with a mass of 2.2 tons. Flags are used for heatshielding and drag properties. Using Basic Fins as propeller blades to get the craft to a height of 37km above Eve sea level. And I was mildly proud of my 8.5t Eve lander and ascent vehicle... ;)
Это просто восхитительно! Я пытаясь совершить такой-же тур создавал мега станции и отправлялся в путешествие но ваш метод заставил меня иначе смотреть на мир)))
This was impressive, fascinating and really cool. This is what humanity could achieve if we were not limited by our need for food, short 80 years life span, and our risible capability to use our head as landing gear!
Incredible run. Pushing stuff to the limits is how we learn things. Like I didn't know containers can refill eva packs thats cool. And flags are insanely useful
These jetpack assists remind me of a rescue i did on duna… had to dip the rescue mothership down into atmo to do the rescue, and had to eva the ascending kerbal and match with the mothership using eva. Also had to have the mothership burning the entire time to keep if from deorbiting due to drag. Was a crazy fun rescue.
@@Allthegoodhandlesaretakenlmao I wish it was over a dacade ago. Just imagine it the mothership enters atmo engines at max as the lander (missing half its parts due to a roll on its landing) launches from the surface, and the kerbal does the last part of the ascent (while in atmo) and has to grab onto a ladder as the mothership goes past. and the mothership took almost an entire orbit to get back out of the atmo. it was awesome :D Kerbal Martian! :D
Wow! The craziest thing to happen to be was when my main mothership ran out of fuel in duna orbit. So I used an engineer to strip the craft down, and I had to use rcs, with many many gravity assists, to make it back to kerbin. I when I say make it back, I mean Val, Bill, and Bob using the spinning craft to fling them into the atmosphere, and renter it without a heat shield.
I know! I really wish EVA construction like that ended up actually working out. Unfortunately the time spent not burning offsets most if not all of the gain from detaching the tank, and it is very inconsistent, so you can't tune your descent profile and landing site as exactly. It would be really cool if someone figures out how to make it worthwhile!
Make sure to check out the newer 7.6 ton video! We're also cooking up something even better but it may be a while! Getting pretty close to just willpower.
If I remember right it was mostly due to how deeply entrenched in the craft it was. The whole craft was built around it so I couldn't easily get it out. However, there are two other factors. The Laythe ship was heavier than the Eve ship (mostly due to keeping the Rapier around, this has since been improved in the current record) so going there first made sense. Also, if you do things perfectly, once you get to a Mun encounter it only takes the Delta-V for course corrections to get any encounter there is through gravity assists. I'm not quite that good at the game, but theoretically going to Eve and Laythe take the same amount of fuel if you are good enough at gravity assists. And lastly, Eve aerocapture is more intense than that of Laythe, and some of the other stuff that is jettisoned before Eve probably wouldn't have survived without some more effort.
IRL, not sure, this was a while ago, but I remember doing planning before winter break (~ 1 month long) and finishing up planning, and executing the mission over winter break, I'm not sure how much of break it took. In game it was I think a bit over 600 years.
Lol upper hunderd years how you waited many days to get gravity assist how you waiting too much time me i cant wait like kerbal years 100 years with full timewarp is like 6 hours for me

One Q about your Eve escape (ground to space):
Why was it done in 1x speed?
Was 2x up just way too laggy?
@GameristicForce 2x speed causes the propeller blades to expand and freak out, losing lift and control.
This may no longer be the record, but it is still the more enjoyable of the two videos to watch

- what is it?
-your neck
oh shit, Neck cracks
Arrgh its the protomolecule in KSP! Oh wait, no, its just Bill doing orbital construction sped up really fast.
Very nice mission! Phenomenal usage of EVA construction!
the scrapcore design of this swagpilled rocket goes beyond sturdy..... may the lord smile upon thee
This has got to be my favorite grand tour mission, loved it
you need to add the lego building sound whenever bill assembles a ship

now THAT is a mission! nice use of eva construction, also great choice of music

Nice! Love these little Frankenstein craft, slapped together in orbit. You make it look easy!
You know the KSP video about to be lit when it has Two Steps From Hell playing
it's a tradition ever since "Kerbals at War" was made
and if you're really old school... the planets by gustav holst
Noice! First time I ever so a KSP player to utilize the construction options that heavily and smart! Awesome job! Especially because you included Eve!
Perfectly captures the essence of KSP.
This was impressive, fascinating and really cool.
This is what humanity could achieve if we were not limited by our need for food, short 80 years life span, and our risible capability to use our head as landing gear!
I love the constant reassembleling of the craft
You have yourself a new subscriber. May the RUclips algorithm bless the unseen KSP gigachads.
Nice mission! Congrats! The (ab)use of flag is very interesting.
I love all the frankestanian craft builds that just work
What a spectacular performance!
call that bill and vals excellent adventure
Incredible run. Pushing stuff to the limits is how we learn things. Like I didn't know containers can refill eva packs thats cool. And flags are insanely useful
inneficiencies are afraid of this guy
Wow, this is incredible. Great use of the EVA construction to reconfigure.
dude this is awesome, you deserve every like and subscription and more
An amazing video. We cannot even go 10 km with 11.5 tons. The man has traveled almost galaxy by galaxy.
So little mass, so much orbital construction and gravity assists.
That was incredible
Incredible!

Also had to have the mothership burning the entire time to keep if from deorbiting due to drag. Was a crazy fun rescue.
Bro that is insane. It seems like a crazy version of the Martian
Do you have a video? I would honestly watch that.

this is straight up impressive and seemed impossible before i watched this video
Amazing! I need to up my game.
man, KSP has changed since I last seriously played it
The master builder
Amazing mission!
6:41 crazy sequence

@@ultimatesteve9647 hmm...
At least the way you got rid of the donut fuel tank is pretty genius
Love these kind of music vids, keep it up!
2 kerbals sitting on a chair strapped with xenon for years
Great. Next stop is landing on every planet by sheer willpower alone.
Make sure to check out the newer 7.6 ton video! We're also cooking up something even better but it may be a while! Getting pretty close to just willpower.
absolute madlad!
Very impressive
engineers are way underrated
You've taken EVA construction to the extreme, there.
This is amazing❤
This video really makes me wish you could do eva construction on console.
bro just got work for NASA already
600 years and you couldn't find the time to plan an accurate landing on top of the VAB?!? Weak...
P.S. Amazing video...
that .5 tons is just the pilots 😭
this scares me
this is so cool! my one question is why not do eve earlier in order to not need to bring that whole assembly to the outer solar system?

It’s like Lego ksp
bill be in a lego game I swear
Minmus you could use a kerbal's EVA pack just enough fuel to land and get back :D
challenge: grand tour ssto with every science experiment (i think it may need separate eve lander tho)
I assume you would be a god at the Trailmakers game.
Impressive
посхалочка)
Аааа пасхалко! Включайте вентиляторы!
HOW IN THE WORLD!? NICE!😂
Pov Nasa; thats so cheap grand tour he need to be rewarded with 2billion robux
fucking legend
Dude! Nice!
Holy Mcgyver!
lol i dont think i can even get an 11 ton craft to orbit
Пасхалочка подъехала
How much time irl did this mission take? What about in game time?
IRL, not sure, this was a while ago, but I remember doing planning before winter break (~ 1 month long) and finishing up planning, and executing the mission over winter break, I'm not sure how much of break it took. In game it was I think a bit over 600 years.
How many years did it take in total?
At least 600. I want to say 627 ish but I would need to check.
ery noice
Lol upper hunderd years how you waited many days to get gravity assist how you waiting too much time me i cant wait like kerbal years 100 years with full timewarp is like 6 hours for me
I use the Better Time Warp mod, which allows for higher time warp settings.
Ok thanks
And what is the red point where you landing?
And what mod you using to build in space
@@boy11_3 The red point is from the Kerbal Engineer mod, and the EVA Construction Tool is not a mod, it is part of the base game.
You are getting scammed out of the attention you deserve.
