@@kamilr4145 Agreed, and it'd make a good nod to a geographical location, kinda like how Vostok was a direction, "east" and Soyuz being a nod to the USSR itself, meaning "union"
Maybe call it "Zarya" (Заря) (which means dawn) as the first lunar landing is only the beginning of the journey to uncover the distant mysteries of the cosmos. Oh, and Zarya was the actual name for my favourite soyuz-replacement project that would have utilized retro-propulsive landing to land back on earth. Anyway, it's not like you'll be naming the space station for the Zarya module, right?

Hey Beardy, I had a suggestion for the lander name: Великий Вояджер (Velikiy Voyadzher), meaning “Great Voyager”, just an idea I had. Loving the series, Keep up the great work man!
Here's a few ideas for the name of the Soyuz-moon rated rocket : -Звездный свет (Starlight) -лунный свет (Moonlight) -самогон/samogon (moonshine) -Рыцарь/Rytsar' (Knight) -лунный рыцарь (Moon knight) -Hope you keep up the good work Beardy! I love watching your videos PS: If you choose me and wanna give credits, name is Lemmy-
Real question time! Are you going to use the N-1 for its intended military purpose? Maybe scare the Amerikan'tskys by testing another Tsar Bomba type warhead?
Beardy I forgot to ask on the stream (and chat was quite chaotic so it would be dumb) if you will upgrade the N1 so it can support bigger missions on the moon or will you do just one mission and forget about it.
29:54 Did you accidentally land Luna 19’s sample return capsule in… I guess Kerman Zedong’s China? Or does the Sino-Soviet split not happen in the FAK timeline?
The rocket should be called “Вперед" meaning forward, Signifying that this is just the beginning and we should carry on. HOW TO PRONOUNCE vp-er-od add a slight weakness to the O making it like a Ё which is sort of like a yio. The Google translate voice does a good job.
*me, a native english speaker with no understanding of how things are pronounced outside of the english language* "hell yeah. i definitely nailed this pronunciation." [listens to google translate] "welp."
Damn just watch the 2 first season of for all mankind what a banger it hype me so much for this kerbal version as i satiate my tech and soviet program hunger. Continue the good work and hyped for Carnasa pov.
Maybe тоска (toska)? It stands for the feeling of yearning/missing someone. I thought of this because the kerbals are gonna be pretty lonely during the actual lunar part of the mission. And the orbital module could be named воссоединение (vossoyedineniye) meaning reunion, to complement the lander’s name
You could name the lunar Soyuz Прыжок (Pryzhok), which apparently means leap or jump (both through space and in technology). It apparantly can also translate to bounce, so if the lunar missions don't quite go to plan the name might still be applicable.
@Idontknowmynamelol 17 The plane's name was Мрія, which iirc is the same word but in Ukrainian. So actually using other languages, mixing it up and aknowledging USSR was not just Russia would be cool.
I have a suggestion. "Новый Край" in Russian means a new land, but also a new edge. "Край" in Russian can also mean the horizon. I speak as a Russian speaker.
Far side landing target; Tsiolkovsky Crater. There are so many good names for the moon landing, I can't make up my mind. Please do the "Diamond?" cannon armed station. Such a strange notion that this craft was taking pictures of me when I was a kid.
Not sure if you're aware, but that is the name Roscosmos has been using for their in-development lunar rated spacecraft. Hopefully one day it'll actually get to fly :)
Zorya would be a good name for Lunar Soyuz, she is a figure in Slavic folklore, a personification of dawn. She is often depicted as the sister of the Sun, the Moon, and Zvezda, the Morning Star with which she is sometimes identified. not just that but she represents the supreme power that a practitioner appeals to.
Zayats, Russain for Hare, should be the name of the lunar orbiter module of the Lunar Soyuz. Named after the character Zayats in the classic russian cartoon "Nu Pogodi" (Well, just you wait) which first aired in the Soviet Union in 1969, it would be accompanied by the lander "Volk" (wolf) who would chase up after Zayats after getting dropped from space down to the moon. I feel it's both a unique name, calls back to a nice little piece of soviet cultural history, and pairs up well with the roles of the two craft, with Volk chasing up after Zayats from the moon, and Zayats escaping back to earth after a close encounter with Volk.
For the lunar complex's name I'd like to suggest Стараться (Starat'siya), or Endeavour in English. This is in reference to the grand effort that reaching the moon has been, as well as having the connection to real life lunar missions in that Apollo 15's command module was named endeavour.
You should design the lunar nuclear radioactive bathtub on bicycle wheels, just for authenticity. I chided the Soviets for this when I discussed lunar exploration in my 8th grade Science class.
Perhaps the Lunar Soyuz could be called "Начало" (Nachalo), which translates as "beginning", for the new dawn for all Kerbalkind, as the cosmonauts take the first steps on the Moon.
I hope ksp 2 multiplayer will make you guys be able to actually play together. Imagine coming across N9 actively moving and doing things on moon real time, God I hope the mod support will allow the KSP 2 version of rp1 to not take long.
TBH just watching the soviet side is more fun, you get kind of the view of the space race from one side only just like it would be irl. Not as intense and secretive of course but still
Here's my suggestions for what to name the Lunar Soyuz: Okhvat (russian for Outreach) Usiliye (russian for Effort) Sosed (russian for Neighbour) Flagman (russian for Flagship) Serp (russian for Sickle)
I suggest "чемпион" (Champion) for the lunar lander. As WHEN the glorious cosmonauts step on the moon FIRST they WILL be the CHAMPIONS of the space race *Nervously looks over shoulder at kgb official* Could also go with "победитель" (pobeditel) which means winner/victor. But that might be too on the nose lol
Actually every almaz station was armed but only one tested the weapon, a modified bomber tail gun, they planned to put missiles (your space torpedoes) on the 4th one but never finished it.
Name suggestion for lunar Soyuz: "Peanut" - "Арахис" - Ar-ak-his Can be like the US named one of their Landers Snoopy and still in the vein of Charlie Brown
For something suitably propagandistic, name the Lunar Soyuz "Avora" (Aurora). Aurora was the name of the cruiser the fired the first shot of the October Revolution, a star shell to signal the beginning of the storming of the Winter Palace.
I think that the Lunar Soyuz should be called the Kozhedub after Ivan Kozhedub, the most acredited Soviet Ace in World War 2 and Hero of the Soviet Union. Or you could name it the Voyadzher (Voyager) as while it takes the Voyager name from N9, I think it's fitting for the craft which shall carry the first Kerbal to the moon.
Regarding Cavea-B - IIRC the Block-D used UDMH/NTO for its RCS, which should have similar performance? Of course, for pure flavour, high-perfomance monopropellants are quite cool, and especially for something like a spin-stabilised stage there's a complexity argument to be made in favour of it (perhaps mass for only one set of anti-slosh baffles as well?). Certainly fits the espionage-oriented theme well. Perhaps a bit dull, but Lunar Soyuz could be ковчег луны - lunar ark - of course, the literal meaning being simply "lunar ship", but being an escape from a world at the edge of destruction for two crew to brief peace, to return heroes for humanity, there are quite a few parallels with the Noah's Ark story. Especially if it first carries two tortoises around the moon - of course, Sever's already done crew, but if there's going to be uncrewed lunar launches of to-be crewed vessels simply to test the launch vehicle, more data is more data! Can't be too careful with biology & radiation, especially after what happened in the 'States with Peter and Eileen on Gemini 3.
Beards I’ve been watching you since I was in 5th grade. It’s been a while ride especially when you got hurt, but I’m about to enter high school and I can’t wait for more vids to come. 😃
Звездная - Zvezdnaya According to translators it means something to the effect of stellar or starry... I was going to go for "Stardust" but it came out as two separate words in Russian, which felt unappropriate.
Trying to think of names to use for the Lunar Soyuz LOK mission. The ones I can think of are "Zond" or "Heavy Zond" (Zond is Russian for probe), "Rodina" (Russian meaning for Homeland), "Zvezda" (Russian meaning for Star), "Slava" (Russian meaning for glory), "Groza" (Russian meaning for Thunderstorm), "Uragan" (Russian meaning for Hurricane) and “Raskat” (which is a Russian meaning for Steamroller apparently). Those are the names that come to mind. Of course these names will likely need to be kerbalised if they were to be used. Most of the information I found was secondary sources on the internet, I don't speak Russian.
Raskat (раскат) can also be translated as a loud noise made by thunder, like 'раскат грома' = 'thunder peal'. I think "rumble" and "peal" in English both have close definition to raskat in Russian.
Hi there! I wanted to ask a thing: have you ever considered doing anything with the Galaxies Unbound mods? I absolutely love them and I hardly see anyone do anythind with it. Just a suggestion 😉
Some suggestions: For something more Soviet-sounding, I'd suggest Надеяться (Nadeyatsya) for hope, or Вперед (Vpered) which means something close to onwards If you're looking for something a bit more nationalistic for such a big achievement, Родину (Rodinu) for Motherland or Невский (Nevsky, who essentially founded Russia, Ukraine and Belarus) would sound nice I think

🎶on our wondrous sattelite🎶
🎶That's a *mare* 🎶
idea for the moon mission: "Девана" Dzewana/Devana - slavic godness of wildlife hunt and the moon
LOL her name literaly means "tree woman"
I suggested Diana for similar reasons along with it being a name that the Russian Navy has used in the past.
29:54 Did you accidentally land Luna 19’s sample return capsule in… I guess Kerman Zedong’s China? Or does the Sino-Soviet split not happen in the FAK timeline?
I mean, n9 just landed one of his gemini in fidel kerman’s cuba so i guess it’s alright
He also pretty much landed it on top of a town which is pretty funny to me.
The rocket should be called “Вперед" meaning forward, Signifying that this is just the beginning and we should carry on.

Also, great series! Let's beat up Americans to the moon!
Kinda long tho

SPACE TORPEDO!!!! If the Americans look like they are going to be you just torpedo Apollo in orbit.

"Red Moon"
Красная луна
Krasnaya luna
