@ no there isn’t, no offence to Christianity Islam and whatever but you believe in a god and that’s fine but never force your beliefs onto other people.
This is fantastic work. The only downside is that you inspired me to go read about techniques for NRHO rendezvous, and just skimming the papers has given me a permanent migraine, along with roughly 784 questions about your mission as shown here. If you have a moment and are willing, I would be super interested in even a few words about your Ap and your relative inclination after lunar orbit insertion. The stuff I was reading (a NASA research paper) was definitely using NASA-level timing, as they were showing a capture burn followed by correction burns, and rendezvous during the first orbit. That seems somewhat (or highly) unlikely in KSP, but it would be great to hear your thoughts. Thanks, and congrats on a great presentation of this mission!
Thank you for enjoying the video, much appreciated! For creating the NRHO orbit I didn't have to arrive in a specific angle of the Moon, because almost automatically it would stabilize and enter the lagrange point, thus creating the orbit. Upon arrival I aimed for the Pe to be seated at the north pole of the Moon, as seen in the video. But of course it required alot of fine tuning after the capture. The NRHO orbit Gateway had required course correction about every 180-200 days but I'm sure that it could be alot more stable if I would put more time into fine tuning the orbit. Sadly I don't have any specific numbers I could give to you about inclination or any other orbital elements. To rendezvous with Gateway was very hard, it required precise planning because the orbit is in such a weird angle and high eccentricity. That's why when doing the rendezvous I used a more direct arrival and wasted alot of delta V and time, but I'm sure that with planning the rendezvous could be alot more both time and delta V efficient. You sure know alot more than me about orbital mechanics and NRHO orbits! I hope I could provide some useful information! And again, thank you for enjoying the video!
@@drstowaters awesome info, thank you! I really don't know squat about this stuff, and the math is way beyond me, but it's fascinating all the same! Almost all of my KSP time is in re-creations or pre-creations of RL missions, so this was really interesting to me. Thanks again!
On paper, falcon 9 upper stage is incredibly OP. Especially for falcon heavy, where it has like 5000m/s DV in LEO with a 10 ton payload. Unfortunately, it lacks insulation and unless you spin it like he does in the video, engine reignition is difficult due to ullage. However with a few layers of insulation and solar panels it should be able to be active for the 3 days needed. Unlike starship, falcon upper stage has an incredibly low dry mass, and with a very efficient super high TWR vacuum engine, this thing wrecks centaur ii and Briz as competitors. It needs to be this strong because the booster only provides 2200m/s DV of the 9300m/s required for ascent and orbit of a typical falcon 9 launch. so with falcon heavy and especially if you don't reuse boosters, or do drone ship landings, you can launch crazy stuff.
It depends on a lot of things. What comes to mind immediately is things like LOX boiloff, battery power, mass, and a whole bunch of other stuff I can’t think of rn
Principia always fucked up my cpu. Moon mars venus ok. But beyond them calculating many years in advance crashed my ksp pretty fast Thats why i lost the motivation for principia
Thanks for watching!
Part II is published! Go watch it!

Average underrated youtuber: *cool and all* vs this underrated youtuber: *literally godlike*
yeah but there is only one God

bro the fumnail looked so real i thought it was an official fly by of the moon ngl
same lol
fucking incredible, especially with the stellaris music
That f-bomb wasn’t required
(This comment was made by a hypocrite)
One day I'll have the balls to play with Principia. For now, I have to manage to circularize GEO in RSS...
Very nice!
Nicely done😊
How the hell did the falcon heavy second stage do so much?

well it did bring a car to mars…
@@supernova99722 CLOSE, but not TO Mars
how tf does this only have 20k views? and only 850 likes?!?
Only complaint is that the IHAB was supposed to launch as a co-manifested payload on Artemis IV, still a very good video
Currently all parts after the PPE launch are comanifests
Ur wverywhere
dude, I have been trying so many times to get that artemis building kit. I have no clue how you got it, but good video.
How did you get principia to work with ksp 1.12.5? Which installer/version are you using? Thanks! ❤
Pre FTL civilization
isn't IHAB going to be launched with Artemis 4 on the SLS block 1B?
Yeah...
A question : Can the second-stage of F9 Heavy restart for lunar capture?
armchair answer; yes, it has been done before on falcon 9 flights at least, not sure about heavy flights though.

you should use Blackrack volumetric clouds
spacex vehicle ro config?
Did you use Stockalike station parts and Artemis construction kit?
Persistent rotation really detracted from this video.
I mean its realistic
what mods are you using? i wont to use them to
Principia always fucked up my cpu.
Moon mars venus ok.
But beyond them calculating many years in advance crashed my ksp pretty fast
Thats why i lost the motivation for principia
Music?

@@drstowaters ty, I thought I recognized it from somewhere, perfectly fits the video!
King 🫡
😛🙂
cool but no waterrfall, 1/10
I had waterfall but it didn't work for that engine on the falcon. 😉
this doesent look like ksp :|
It’s modded so… :/
It does once you install the Real Solar System and Realism Overhaul mods.
