did you notice that mechjeb was turned off for the landing and initial take off. So Basically he could have done everything he did in this video and he did the awesome parts, but he doesn't want to waste 10 minutes of his busy schedule making maneuvers and burns.
Everyone is distracted by the colored letters but at 8:38 the mechjeb panel is replaced with binary, which when translated goes to an imgur link with 4 colors, and as the Smart A.S.S. control panel suggests I took their RGB values and converted them from decimal, which makes the 11 characters for a youtube video link, to a CollegeHumor video from 2012 👌
Thanks! I intended to land the craft on a hill or, preferably, on the engine bell. (I know, not a very reliable landing system). However, in the video, I was forced to land on inclined terrain and thus, I couldn't use the slope of the terrain to lift off, nor could I land it upright on the engine bell. The only option left was to use Jeb's head. So, to answer your question: Poor planning
is it just me or are some letters slightly oranger than normal? regardless, im sure its just nothing, but this is a wonderful video :) edit: i found them all and i got 2vl73mwlqG8 , in order of appearance.
Its probably nothing. Just some glitches in my rendering software. Its pretty annoying actually because they happen all the time in my videos. Its almost as if my rendering software has a mind of its own... PS. You misread one of the letters...
Yeah, that was the second most difficult part of that ascent. Often times, after bouncing off Jeb's head, the craft would move too far away and it would take too long to EVA over to it. I think it took me over 20 tries just to get it right.
6:18 "But Jeb, you aren't quite going to like it..." Do you know who you're talking too?! That's Jeb Kerman! The guy who's always grinning like an idiot while all the other Kerbals are screaming their heads off in a panic! The guy LIVES for crazy stuff like that! The only reason he wouldn't like it would be if it were normal and had to be done for EVERY mission, because then it's just not exciting.
i'm wondering if i can use nuclear powered engines to leave the surface and orbit of duna??? (fairly new to the game, i've only done a return mission from ike as my biggest acomplishment so far... other than build a gnarly lunar base on minmus requiring multiple journeys to get it all there)
Yes, you can. The atmosphere of Duna is very thin compared to that of Kerbin, meaning that nuclear engine I_sp is closer to its vacuum value than its atmospheric value.
Thomas Kwa i did it! welllll actually not... i mean i built a nuclear powered satellite and successfully put in position of a duna orbit and got my payout but i have ran out of fuel to land on the planet... i'm stuck at 87,000... not low enough to perform an orbital survey. it's fine it was never built as a return mission. BTW do you know how to perform an orbital survey around Duna because the atmosphere is dense enough to cause permanent slowing of the craft leading to an eventual collision with the ground... you need to be 1500km-32km to perform an orbital survey... how do you maintain orbit that low???
I made an SSTO that only uses liquid fuel by using whiplash engines and two nerv engines the whiplash gave me enough thrust to get fast and high and enough nerv to push it to orbit.
It's really cool, but again it's SUPER annoying having that "Incoming transition" in tiny text at the very top right corner of the screen in a very hard to read color and font!
+TanIllg Havent you seen the one in the right corner??!!?!?! The one on the left is easy enough, but oh boy, im pretty sure the right one is only one pixel wide
+Alaskafish It's perfectly fine on a laptop, but i could see an issue if you were watching on a phone, that said, 10 min video on a phone sounds super uncomfortable.
+Alaskafish While I appreciate your feedback, I've also received a lot of responses from people who enjoy the text and sounds. If I changed it, those who enjoyed the text previously will comment on how the new format is annoying. So, I think I will leave it as it is for now, while maybe changing the color of the text to increase contrast during certain scenes.
What do the colors in the imgur-link mean? I decoded the binaries, but I don't get how to get any further… Can't also find anything on the ARG-websites... The binary code on 8:37 gives you this link: imgur.com/GiLGL3S Just why?? Help!!
Throughout the video, some of the messages have a red letter or number in it, spelling 2vl73MwLqG8, and at 8:38, the mechjeb reads, "BINARY LINK -----> FOUR COLORS VALUE DECI RED GREEN BLUE RED GREEN BLUE GOT IT?", the arrow pointing to some sort of hexadecimal code.
those graphics look really nice half the time.. other half it's very distracting. when you were aerobraking on Duna looks really weird and what are the clouds doing on return to Kerbin?
+whoeveriam0iam14222 Yeah, there are a few annoying bugs with the graphical mod I'm using (Like the Kerbin clouds... I have no idea why that is happening). However, I feel that most of time, the mod looks really good and suits the "cinematic" feel I aim for in my videos. After all, I don't really have many alternatives when it comes to graphical mods in KSP.
2vl73MwlqG8... wtf is that supposed to mean!? Its been about 8 months since someone talked about this, and it still hasn't been answered! I tried it as a URL, I even searched it up on Google, NOTHING!
Well to give you a hint it's an 11 character long code, comprised a selection of 64 unique characters, here represented by both uppercase and lowercase letters, decimal numbers, underscores and hyphen minuses. Now what website uses an 11 character base 64 code to denote address? The answer may be staring you in the face at this very moment.
There's a hidden message near the end: 24 bytes and a weird coloring. I'm trying to investigate but YT's compression together with 16:10 screen make it hard
Man are you sure you found the right numbers? i decoded it and it turns out its a link! Here it is: httpt//imgur.com/G/3S Its not a valid link but still pretty weird huh?
100x lighter nerv and fuel tank to oort cloud or proxima :YESSS Normal nerv to duna in vacumm: YES using make a plane and using 100x lighter nervs : not a good idea plane with nomral nervs: SO BADLY IDEA nerv to reach orbit: 💀💀💀💀💀
your way of thinking has almost completely ruined my playstyle because now every time my landers fall over i think "oh i can just use a kerbal to put it back up" and EVERY TIME IM WRONG
Standard feature on planes (a.k.a. "Artificial Horizon") and spacecraft. It tells you the attitude of the craft (which way the nose is pointing, and which way the ship is going)
Ram Laska Yes! i do actually know that. If you use ckan there is a mod for 1.2 simply called draggeble navball and if you dont wanna use mods you can use the in game setting :D
Hmmm I bet can do this... *Le opens KSP* *Makes super awesome rocket* *launches rocket* *Fire and radioactive brimstone rain down on ksp site* Fuck....

lol rekt
The Big wigs won't be pleased
You used EVA-suit-rockets
That landing on Duna...
Amazing.
Edit: Holy cow,and the take off ?
I'm speechless.
Nastase Raul did you not see the mechjeb piece attached to the wing?
did you notice that mechjeb was turned off for the landing and initial take off. So Basically he could have done everything he did in this video and he did the awesome parts, but he doesn't want to waste 10 minutes of his busy schedule making maneuvers and burns.

well, i have found another guy with high iq.
XenonTheFox it hard to figure it out
What’s the vid?
You just irradiated half of kerbin, good thing the kerbals are radiation resistant.
And impact-resistant!
And "BadS"!! ;)
and #BADA55
fallout kerbal edition
+drbleblo is referencing the color of the kerbals in HEX code. you know, like #FFFFFF for white and #000000 for black?
Al Paca Bad thing the kerbal politicians ( Such as KSC big wings) aren't radiation-resistant... oh wait, that's a good thing.
That takeoff on the return leg was the most Kerbal thing I've ever seen anyone pull.
That Jeb head hover launch was simply awesome! subscribed!
This is absolutely amazing. I really like the design of the orbital insertion spaceplane; the thing you did with the wings is pure genius.
Dat manoeuvre, my jaw literally dropped.
Can you explain to me why the takeoff from duna was necesary to do like that? I dont really understans... thanks
Needles to say, it was amazing
Thanks!

The only option left was to use Jeb's head.
So, to answer your question: Poor planning
Oh, jebs head, thats one thing i missed, haha.
Wow, talk about using your head!
I'll go now.
no pls
6:18 who are you kidding? Jeb LOVES risky ideas, you know that!
is it just me or are some letters slightly oranger than normal? regardless, im sure its just nothing, but this is a wonderful video :)
edit: i found them all and i got 2vl73mwlqG8 , in order of appearance.
Its probably nothing. Just some glitches in my rendering software. Its pretty annoying actually because they happen all the time in my videos. Its almost as if my rendering software has a mind of its own...
PS. You misread one of the letters...
fuck, which one? also i swear some of, or all of your videos have a hidden frame where there is like ,colors, and maybe other stuff. i never see it.
They're links to youtube videos.
The M is capital
thank you
Wow another second or two of hovering and there's no way you'd have enough dV to get back. That, on top of the concept itself, was impressive.
Yeah, that was the second most difficult part of that ascent. Often times, after bouncing off Jeb's head, the craft would move too far away and it would take too long to EVA over to it. I think it took me over 20 tries just to get it right.
The duna takeoff it's amazing, epic stunt with the evil black storm in the background
Holy cow the takeoff from Duna! Legendary
That Jeb assisted takeoff 👌
6:18 "But Jeb, you aren't quite going to like it..." Do you know who you're talking too?! That's Jeb Kerman! The guy who's always grinning like an idiot while all the other Kerbals are screaming their heads off in a panic! The guy LIVES for crazy stuff like that! The only reason he wouldn't like it would be if it were normal and had to be done for EVERY mission, because then it's just not exciting.
You will never cease to impress me.
I like that technique used to launch from Duna. Impressive.
CONGLATURATIONS!!!
And the takeofffrom duna... AWESOME!!!
That was impressive. Especially the Kerbal-assisted launch.
Also that was the most work I put into watching a CollegeHumor video. gg
What an incredible design. Really enjoyed the video, keep up the amazing work!
I think I found a secret code in this video. if you read the messages, some of the letters are red.
I think it is a URL of some kind.
taylor sims lol
Gerson Pontes That's what he wants us to think... :)
All of the red letters spell "2vl73mqg8"
You missed a "w" and an "l", in order it spells "2vl73mwlqg8" but it still doesn't link to anything
2vl73MwLqG8 Careful with the caps. (Its RUclips link ;P )
NERVA gonna give you up
This is playing on hard mode if ever I have seen it. Absolutely amazed you could actually pull this off.
Can you please give the craft file? It is so impressive i would like to see your design from closer.
You have mad skills
Awesome Duna landing!!!
It was so close to failure!! :D
Your videos are really cool! You deserve much more likes and views!
I like to imagine that this is how metro and fallout started. I also like the vegas-style text that indicates that this is true
You are really good at this... I deem you worthy of my subscription.
This is brilliant! I've got no other word for it.
Congratulations!

It's not apoapsis and periapsis, it's their critical values. Your orbit may be anywhere between these. I hope it's already irrelevant though
I made an SSTO that only uses liquid fuel by using whiplash engines and two nerv engines the whiplash gave me enough thrust to get fast and high and enough nerv to push it to orbit.
If I was a psychologist I would call this self harm

The wheels on the little land ferry. what are they?
The landing is good, but the start maneuver is amazing! I need to learn the MechJeb.
I really wish you had more views for your hard work. Congrats anyway!
no joke,this shit is better than pewdiepie

You could have used a service bay and flipped it open
YEAH YOU SHOWED THE BIG WINGS!!

MARS on nerva 😈
3:17 NukoStratz war begins... Kerbin's scratched really hard...
why did you make the craft hover than put jeb in it, why not just fly it
6:47 someone tell me how this saves deltaV. I don't get it.
It doesn't. He botched the landing, and couldn't get the rocket upright, so he ramped it off of Jeb to get it flying again.
YOU NEED MORE FUCKING SUBS M8 CUZ UR CONTENT IS GR8
Wait, did you get a gravity assist from Ike to slow down as you approached Duna?
2vl73MwlqG8... wtf is that supposed to mean!? Its been about 8 months since someone talked about this, and it still hasn't been answered! I tried it as a URL, I even searched it up on Google, NOTHING!

Now what website uses an 11 character base 64 code to denote address? The answer may be staring you in the face at this very moment.
But I also found and tried the link with youtube and it isn't working
I was honestly slackjawed at both take offs
That was epic.
Awesome!
What Are those nervas yellow not Blue?
It’s an old video. They changed the exhaust color a while ago.
what are all your current and mods? also ive seen a lot of your vids and theyre awesome so keep up the good work! :D
You have the NERV(a) to use only those engines.
There's a hidden message near the end: 24 bytes and a weird coloring. I'm trying to investigate but YT's compression together with 16:10 screen make it hard
Okay, I give up on this one.
The numbers are (bytes grouped by 3):
687474
70742f
2f696d
677572
2e636f
6d2f47
2f3353
Man are you sure you found the right numbers? i decoded it and it turns out its a link!
Here it is: httpt//imgur.com/G/3S
Its not a valid link but still pretty weird huh?
MAF the link works for me
Takes me 1.4km/s of delta v to get to duna
Were you NERVA-ous when flying this craft?
How!?
Still smaller and cheaper than my traditional 3 person duna rocket
"much smaller" 💀💀💀💀
Where are liquid fuel tanks ? In wings i guess ?
Wowzers. How much fuel did you land with on that one?
what us your pc specs
nice
after the launch atmospehre are posion 💀💀💀
Очень круто!
06:40 : What is he going to do?
06:45 : OMG
100x lighter nerv and fuel tank to oort cloud or proxima :YESSS
Normal nerv to duna in vacumm:
YES
using make a plane and using 100x lighter nervs : not a good idea
plane with nomral nervs: SO BADLY IDEA
nerv to reach orbit: 💀💀💀💀💀
What mods were being used? ^3^
No idea, but Stock Revamp was one.
"By 10,000 Km up" Surely you mean 10,000m
Joke's on you, the NERVs use THORIUM reactors! Ha ha haha!!
(I have no idea if they actually do but that sounds like it should make sense, no?),
They do not. They use weapons grade uranium.
must have taken a lot of NERVe to do
Have you considered trying RSS? Based on the awesome things you manage in stock, I kind of want to see what shenanigans you can get up to in RSS.
anyone else picking up on those discloloured letters of just me?
I made a space shuttle with a nuclear orbiter
your way of thinking has almost completely ruined my playstyle because now every time my landers fall over i think "oh i can just use a kerbal to put it back up" and EVERY TIME IM WRONG
he made this letter and numbers red (in order) anyone have an idea what it means: 2V13MWLQG8
2vl73MwLqG8 Careful with the caps. (Its RUclips link ;P )
There’s three different codes in this video
Whats that navball?
Standard feature on planes (a.k.a. "Artificial Horizon") and spacecraft. It tells you the attitude of the craft (which way the nose is pointing, and which way the ship is going)
Ram Laska No xD. i meant the mod to make it look like that haha
Derp, ok. :D
Hey, do you know how people get their navballs to drag off the the side? I figured it's a mod, but I couldn't find it.
Ram Laska Yes! i do actually know that. If you use ckan there is a mod for 1.2 simply called draggeble navball and if you dont wanna use mods you can use the in game setting :D
Thanks dude!
