If nothing else, I'm just happy that Dan is happy enough to go back to gaming videos that he enjoys without worrying about ad revenue. It feels very wholesome
The fact he didn't do the asparagus technique to kick empty fuel tanks and cut weight kinda irritated me. He probably could have made it on like the 3rd design forward just from that tweak. It wasn't in the rules he couldn't
atur chomicz have you played the game? If he didn’t keep not using max thrust he would of been way more likely to actually get to the mun and possibly back
If I recall correctly, he only had issues with flapping for very short periods, then the issues changed to plummeting. I think it's fair to say the flapping phase was quite short and quickly became a non-issue.
was defo a reference, glad he does remember the fan favourite moments, clips like the ones in his trailers like "my name is cle-ver burt" "CA HA HA HA, CLE-VER BURT"
_MILETIL_ BLIGHT_ god I’m excited for that game to come out. Definitely sounds like something Dan would play, and I’m gonna get the deluxe edition when it gets released (I missed preorder)
"Kerbal Jeff, who is the engineer of this..... abomination of a rocket?" "Ehh, let me check.... a certain Dan... Nerdcubed. Why?" "....We'll gonna die, Jeff."
Asparagus staging, fuel lines connected for the outside to the inside, as the outside fuel tanks lose fuel you decouple them. The removal of dry weight lets you go faster with less engines. Also it makes it easier to control as it get lighter.
@@TheAechBomb The idea was like 10% there. It would have been more fun to watch him fail at later parts of this challenge too. Which would be possible if he would learn just a tiny bit about the game...or physics for that matter.
kleinbottled79 If professionalism is what you want, this is not the channel for it my guy😂😂 We are here to build rockets that are attached very loosely with duct tape and to propel shit into orbit at dangerous speeds, nothing more, nothing less

I love that he’s gone back to the classic stuff! The nostalgia is amazing! The only thing that could be better is if he resurrected his Minecraft Let’s Play Buildy Thingy but I don’t thing he ever will
This is pretty spectacular. Seeing Dan, someone with years of experience, pretend to fail at KSP is quite inspiring. I could not have imagined being able to do this myself with the same gusto and sincerity he seems to be giving each "attempt". Asparagus staging isn't something one can possibly forget.
Hang on a second... (looks closer) 1 day ago... Huh.... (looks at video release time.) thirty one.... Minutes.... Ago..... RUUUUUNNNNNN FEAR THE TIME LORD
Please... Scott could build something that could visit every planet and moon, and end up with enough delta-v to build a space station at 100km after landing back at KSP to pick up new snacks :P
This is the content I remember when I think of og RUclips right here, felt like it’s was 8 years ago again. I missed it so much. Made me laugh so much. Your content has always been 10/10 but something about this, it just hits right in the nolstalgia feels
Dammit, Dan, learn how to stage properly :D The last design probably could have made it to the moon and back if you had connected fuel lines from the outermost engine to the next one, then from that one to the next and so forth until you reach the center and if you then dropped the fuel tanks starting from the outermost one when they emptied.
Exceptionally funny, But there was at least 3 rockets there that could have worked if you had piloted them correctly. for example one of the last ones you burned after the apoapsis and fell back into the atmosphere, had you have burned earlier you would have gotten into orbit with about 4000m/s delta V left.
I know why we watch dan. I just wanted to point out that a few designs would have worked. Although in the hands of Scott manly a pea shooter could take you to the moon
quick question for all y'all, how are you still caught off guard by the "Hello Procrastinators" it's the new old normal, so surely you should be used to it
Following the same rules of this challenge, I technically landed on the Mun. .... Nobody survived the journey.... .... In fact, the ship disintegrated.... .... But it disintegrated on the Mun. I made it there. I'm a genius.
I fucking love these new gaming videos. I’m so glad you’re just enjoying yourself with support from patreon. Also, I kinda want the fan in the background again...
The cut from the violent explosion landing to seeing that you had attached a fuel pipe thing from each tank directly to the rocket was the funniest thing ever. I laughed the whole time until you cut to the next rocket design, it was great.
nothing like sitting back and enjoying some nerdcubed, thank you for sticking around for this long, you’ve made a huge impact on my life and many others. seriously, thank you from the bottom of my heart
New challenge, reach orbit while facepalming.
In a recent stream he made a way to kill 150-ish kerbals in one rocket
26:12 did you catch that subtle shout-out?
You mean reach orbit *without* facepalming?
This is great
Oh wow.... This was not expected. So the crying Scottish man heard his call and came running xD
This video is so nostalgic, the only thing missing is the red launch tower, and the jet engine of a PC in the background
From the looks of it, the computer will start screaming in agony any minute now.
You could open a new tap and find a yt video of a loud pc for added experience
And the fact dan was always either dying of tiredness or some illness
You get a similar effect by making the sound with your mouth
Matsas his keyboard was very red
If nothing else, I'm just happy that Dan is happy enough to go back to gaming videos that he enjoys without worrying about ad revenue. It feels very wholesome
Yeah it’s so nice to watch him do what he enjoys and not have to worry about whether or not he makes money from it
I can hear Raid Shadow Legends breathing heavily.
If Dan cared about money. He wouldn't of killed the channel.
@@purple3018 Im glad I can enjoy watching him again, its been a couple years but I watched his man eater video and actually enjoyed it.
It's good to see him enjoying himself again.
For real, this is basically the same type of content that I subscribed for, and I'm so glad he's financially stable enough to go back to it.
"but ive never had any issues with flapping before" *veteran fans stare off into the distance
We will always remember that glider
**swallows a swimming pool full of air in a femtosecond**
R.I.P glider and many, many other planes
I will never forget that video.
**Glider wings shear off mid flight**
**His lungs collapse at 0.56% the speed of light**
The impressive thing is.... a lot of these would have actually got to the Mun with some better fuel management and a different pilot.
Keep telling this to yourself lmao
@@aturchomicz821 Some of the later ones actually had ~4500m/s of delta-V. It's not guaranteed, but those could get most of the way to the Mun.
But where’s the fun in that?

Summary of the video in one meme:
"Sometimes my genius is, it's almost frightening."
A lot of Jeremy Clarkson’s old Top Gear quotes could sum up Dans videos
Or "Can someone hear a Scottish man crying?"
Dan: "I've never had any issues with flapping"
Me having flashbacks to flight sim O_O
exactly
aaaaaaaand FLAP! AAAAOOOOWA! *_(coughing-fit.wav)_*
I can hear his laugh when that plane just crumpled, I miss this shit
If I recall correctly, he only had issues with flapping for very short periods, then the issues changed to plummeting. I think it's fair to say the flapping phase was quite short and quickly became a non-issue.
Aerofly flight sim
"We're nearly there!"
*Checks Time
*There's still half an hour left
Me: I agree Dan
Never had problems with flapping?
Either he has forgotten a particular glider having its wings shear off, or he was referencing that exact moment
yeah that's the joke
was defo a reference, glad he does remember the fan favourite moments, clips like the ones in his trailers like "my name is cle-ver burt" "CA HA HA HA, CLE-VER BURT"
I remember that haha I laughed so hard at that video
"I've added enough more fuel for all the more fuel I've added"
This perfectly explains rocket science.
"I've never had any issues with flapping before in my life"
*flashbacks to that aerofly FS video with the glider*
thats what i was thinking lol XD
i was kind expecting to hear "AAAAAAAND FLAP"
AAAOOOOOOWAAA! * the coughs of the damned *
@@Rowdimouse followed by quite calls of "help, mercy, I'm dying"
Along with choking on air, followed by the sound of dying. Lol, I watched that video when I was sick and it was not pretty, lol.
Dam I just got a lot of nostalgia for some reason.
I can HEAR it
In this episode: Dan accidentally recreates the Jericho missile from Iron Man.
Fitting
Hell probably be playing iron Man vr In a few weeks
yeah now that you mention it..... I was thinking USAF J/DAM munition

it's been so long since I heard the "hello procrastinators" that I thought I was watching a video from 5 years ago
same I loved it
His last video was a few days ago
Really? He's been doing that recently.
Pretty sure we just funded a time travel program
What happened to him?! Hes back to the creator I loved when I was younger!! Is there anywhere I can go to get a sitrep of what happened?!
Dan: "I've put more Engines on"
Me: "oh thank christ now we have chance of getting to the mun"
Dan: puts Engines that are meant for landers on one of the biggest and heaviest fuel tanks in the game
Me:"..."
Nerdcubed going back to HELLO PROCRASTINATORS is the best thing that's happened this year
He said "hello procrastinators" again! That hasn't happened for a while, right? Kinda missed it..
He’s been saying it continuously for about three weeks...
Apparently it's back now
@@ignorepls HOORAY!!
It was a patreon tier, since he's reached it he'll keep saying it
3:17 The hard cut of “I have photos” to the Octopus Fuel is...perfection.
3:00 omg I was so prepped for the explosion
... i feel, cheated... its like, nerd3... KSP... without explosions, this is what being blue balled is... this isnt right xD
Damn! Bamboozeld again!
47:14 I love how even he sounds disgusted with what he's built, that's how you KNOW something good is coming. God I love this channel!
I feel like i'm watching an old Nerd Cubed video! AMAZING!
I love that he’s gone back to the classic stuff! The nostalgia is amazing! The only thing that could be better is if he resurrected his Minecraft Let’s Play Buildy Thingy but I don’t thing he ever will
Dan made a cluster bomb, meaning the Kerbals have broken several international arms treaties
5:15 When Jeb's screaming you know things are going badly
He ran the fuel line the wrong direction in his "fix".
I don't think he had (or has) the faintest idea that fuel lines are directional.
I’m so glad dan is playing stuff like this again, I would love to see him do an obscenely huge build in minecraft again
This is pretty spectacular. Seeing Dan, someone with years of experience, pretend to fail at KSP is quite inspiring. I could not have imagined being able to do this myself with the same gusto and sincerity he seems to be giving each "attempt". Asparagus staging isn't something one can possibly forget.
A Kerbal Space Program video that’s almost an hour long AND starts with “hello procrastinators.” It’s just like the old days
Can we check if scott manly is ok when this vid goes live?
The nostalgia brought me back but I've been away a while and holy crap that intro caught me off guard
Same bro

All of this, so he could invent the REAL "SpaceX"
SpaCex
i feel like with how nostalgic these videos are feeling we are gonna randomly get the old outro too. just for a direct hit in the nostalgia
27:04 Anyone know how Dan set up his keyboard to do that? I would love to have that on mine!
probably has a corsair keyboard and uses icue lighting link, thats how i did it
@@4321olleH he was talking about his CPU temperature being displayed as the colour of his keyboard
I think with Asus Aura
SolitaryHowl nailed it. This is one of the built in modes with Asus aura.
‘I probably should’ve attached them properly’ perfectly sums up Dan when playing this or any other building games
"Slow it down" - I'm not quite sure whether you mean the rocket or your frame rate...
Yes
"I've never had an issue with flapping before" conveniently forgetting the glider incident
My favourite NerdCubed video in a long time, Dan is enjoying doing his content again and it really reflects in the quality. Thank you guys
There should be a term for the process by which he solves a problem.
I propose “Dangeneering”.

This takes me back to a much simpler "lets play" time of life. Love it
I’ve been getting into ksp recently and this couldn’t of been more perfectly timed
"oh no, the science is to strong. What shall we do?"
"ADD MORE SCIENCE!!!"

“i’ve never had any issues with flapping in my life” one of the best references i’ve heard dan make in a while
"You know you have a cracking rocket"
I heard that as Kraken and TBH it makes more sense than the intended sentence.
"I've never had issues with flapping before in my life"
I still remember the glider incident.
This can be used as a weapon. A Cluster Bomber.

Wow, a new record for you! You killed Kerbals at 13 minutes instead of instantly!
Spaceship - hundreds of tons of explosive material literally falling to the earth at 150 m/s
Kerbals - :D
The cut from the violent explosion landing to seeing that you had attached a fuel pipe thing from each tank directly to the rocket was the funniest thing ever. I laughed the whole time until you cut to the next rocket design, it was great.
