I sent DNA into space!! Kerbal Space Program!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 окт 2024
- As an engineer I never thought biology would be inspiring my builds, but here we are, sending DNA into space in Kerbal Space Program (KSP). Even though it could have been more successful, I was quite pleased with how this turned out- plus I beat my Simon in space record of building the longest rocket in ksp. Don't forget the strongest rocket shape ever created too, it actually got to space!

You are one of the few engineers I would actually trust to build the Dyson Sphere if we were actually going to go outside our solar system
Not a fan of Dyson spheres then? 😂
Hoover
Ahh a fellow kurzgesagt watcher
Is this a public petition for Matt to play Dyson Sphere Program? If it is, I will sign my name on that!
Yeah I and probably everyone else here trust you to build pretty much anything
"I'm going to shoot DNA into space."
Now there's a euphemism if I ever heard one.
holllld onnn
hol up
That would require a lot of pressure thou

I love how the closest thing to an actual rocket that RCE has made is 10:43.
And it's a SSTO
@@maticz3923 It would have been very harmful if it wasnt i think. 0o
"Why does this always happen to me"
- The person who has built a metal snake so long that the metal bends with bipropellant KS-25 vectoring rocket engines all over it
He could use the cheat menu to turn on unbreakable joints
@@pewpewcricketsalt5574 But that's cheating
@@sergegordeev9426 is there even a leader board or something it’s not really cheating all u do is build rockets
@@pewpewcricketsalt5574 that wouldnt solve the problem that he had engines pointed at fueltanks in there
@@sergegordeev9426 imagine calling a cheat menu option cheating.
I have played this game for nearly 1000 hours...and never before have I seen a rocket bend and flex as much as that second launch, and it is the single best thing I have ever seen from KSP. That was an amazing launch.
Matt, have you thought about using the launch supports? I forget what they're called, but they hold your rocket upright so you have time to throttle up and ignite your engines. Then you can release them for liftoff.
Just use t u z spacebar
You should probably learn a more efficient trajectory to get to orbit for when you build normal rockets. For example, your strongest shape probably could have made it to orbit, but you spent most of the energy going up.
Also, try using "launch clamps" at the top of your snake or DNA. That should hold it in place before launch.
11:10 - Matt, you have to send a knob to the Mün now! That thumbnail is too good to never be used!
You can press ‘z’ to max throttle instantly, and ‘x’ to cut the engines.
Was going to comment this, now I don't have to :)
That, and launch clamps will hold the rocket steady on the launch pad.
I can max throttle my dna into space? Hot
I think he knows, he just doesn't care which is all the better
Put the engines so they go from big to small, biggest at the top, that way it keeps the structure stretched out straight
RCS stands for reaction control system, you probably need it installed for the function to work properly
KSP has these stabilizer things that hold the rocket up until they're activated, use those so things don't just immediately explode on the launchpad
Also z for full throttle instead of having to holding shift!
I think what you should do for the future is make a snake that has pretty much all its lift and thrust in the front section. Let the back have smaller thrusters to lift their own weight, but mostly be for storing a substantial amount of fuel.
Put massive thrusters in the front area, make sure to have separate thrusters for controlling roll and direction. Let the rest just move around behind it like a super long tail. Having most of the thrust in the front will pull the tail along and ensure that it doesn't twist around and knot, decreasing the chance of it breaking.
If you set up the front as a sort-of detachable command section, and set the whole thing up so it burns fuel from the furthest tanks first, moving forward, then you could possibly even land the front section on a planet. And with all the surplus fuel you'd have from the huge tail, once you get into space, I can't imagine that there are many planets that'd be out of reach.
18:18 - actually, DNA is meant to be curled up in a big mess...
Once you're back to Kerbal Plane Program, you should build the best UK ever built: The Supermarine Spitfire
Seafire>>>Spitfire
Its just an joke i love the spit
@@Feuervix But true, the contrarotating propellers of the Seafire FR 47 are really cool.
You need a big engine at the top that can pull the rest. Your back end has thrusters that are pushing and that's what is causing the whip
No that’s not how it works
You need a rocket that doesn’t bend since the SAS only takes in account the attitude of the command pod, you can do this through autostruts
Then you need a engine that is not facing sideways or diagonally, this just wastes fuel
Then you need fins at the bottom (preferably with control surfaces) so the center of drag is below the center of mass
Try to make a space shuttle!
(It's hard, which means it's funny)
the first one was literally just a -inter continental- ballistic missile
Coincidence? I think not
13:55 - T-bar makes perfect sense to me, mr. editor...
- it's like I beam, but a T and not a beam...
I just found you yesterday and now I’m addicted to your vids.
Good stuff, I finally have enough videos for you to binge now I hope!
Do you know about the Z and X keys? Full throttle and zero throttle respectively.
T and R turn on SAS and RCS respectively as well.
When launching unstable craft I always press T,Z,Space in rapid succession when it loads. SAS on, Full Throttle, Launch.
A good way to reduce the wiggle and strengthen the joints is to go activate advanced tweeakables in the main menu settings and use auto strut that changes the way the parts are attached to each other
I'm waiting for the April fool's video where you actually do a proper space mission!
I’m kind of curious why you think DNA is strong. It’s intended to be easily disassembled.
Next time make a carbon nanotube
Looks cool though.
And stores alot of information
Now I want to launch a carbon nanotube into space.
he is talking about the geometric structure, if the 2 strands of the DNA were atach by convalents bonds instead of h Bond i think It would be strong too
I love how the first flight was so nice and escalated so quickly
That strongest shape rocket was a SSTO single stage to orbit
Much cool
You know you're doing Kerbal right when it becomes a powerpoint presentation 😂
more like a google presentation
13:35 Snakenadoooo
"Now, because I'm not a monster, I AM going to make them aerodynamic."
> mounts the nosecones on their sides
I love your vids Matt I have been watching since 9000 subs and somehow they just keep getting better keep it up mate!
This is actually a sick design…. I can honestly see this in a sci-fi series or something…
This gives the term "panspermia" a whole new meaning.
I just have my doubts about British DNA being the best choice for such a project.
Kerble is absolutely astonishing... And pleasingly simple... For the most part.
I died when you ran out of fuel in space, only because you forgot trajectory was a thing. Good fun.
You could put all of the engine’s at the top and “pull” all of the fuel behind you?
You could, but it doesn't actually help. Look up the pendulum rocket fallacy.
@@WhitzWolf92 I wanted to comment that! It's pretty confusing.
This one was mu first video i ever watched and i love it still to this day!
Two things
One: z is max thrust x is no thrust. Please use it.
Two: you can throttle boosters before you stage with space bar.
The rule Britannia audio bit gets me every time! Lol, so glad I found this channel a while back
Damm dat shape real strong i used it on a mobile 2d less realistic less stuff with hopes to get to the moon but i got into Earths ACTUAL orbit proof its the best shape
I would try adding more struts, and additional thrusters that RCS can use. Always using RCS and SAS.
yes always use SAS
If you want to make a snake, you need ALL the engines on the top. Otherwise it won't be stable at all
Try adding reaction wheels, I love your videos :)
It seems that you are going to change the world by recreating everything in KSP
When hes an actual engineer I'd think he'd make something sensible, not a snake that would reach the moon just by standing on the launch pad.
Hey, fun fact about KSP, if you need the throttle to max out quickly, you can press Z to max it out, and X to cut the throttle, so you can hit Space and Z at the same time for maximum thrust as quick as possible!
I feel like the main issue with your long rockets is the fact that they use the same engines over the entire length, that way the tail can whip around and snake as much as it does as it's not really pushing its energy straight into the rest of the rocket since it wiggles. I think if you were to have bigger rockets with more thrust at the top and gradually go down in size / thrust, the upper part will drag the lower part up resulting in it straightening out more. Would love to see you try that approach and see how it goes :)
I say add wings to the ends of each fuel tank. if you set the wings to "deploy" they'll stay in their angle
8:44 Quote from the firefighter after he inhaled the weed smoke
perhaps RCE should try rocket that's shaped like a signal tower next time . . because this is far too flimsy
I think making a truss - like rocket could be more stable
but it's probably not enouth to orbit with just one stage
i like the new style of thumbnails/titles. Never really thought the all caps titles suited your chill personality that well.
You are right, RCE. I do have a dream. I WANT A
KNOB-
Something to know is that you should do science mode which is slower but you learn to play. Decouples are manually added and if you do the smallest parachute on top of the mk1 command pod and a heat shield under it you can land sadly, adding side parachute is also helpful. Under the heat shield add a decoupler then a fuel tank and one engine. Just one thing of fuel and one engine will work perfectly, slowly add more things so that you are more successful. Tutorials can be found in the menu. Also time warp on large crafts on an atmosphere makes the game mad
I get the feeling he kinda knows this already and he's just trolling now...
@@brijekavervix7340 probably
There is an item that you can use to support therocket above the ground, i dont remember ehat its called but its red and should be in thr part withlanding legs and wheels, if you put 4 of those on top, you should be able to launch ir without starting right away
Asparagus Staging is the only way to get the big guys into space.
Why not load the top of the snake with engines, and put a few at the bottom facing down to level it?
This feels like the right comment section for this: the first time I got to orbit was before I learned you could even steer.
I rifled my first stage, which got me to 150km, then I waited til precession pointed me roughly prograde and fired my second stage. Somehow this worked 🤣
you did the no-steer challenge withour even knowing
the DNA rocket does look amazing though.... from good angles, it's wow
the knob ship actually was really good. if you just steered better and used your fuel more efficiently you could totally get an orbit. the trick is to wait until you are at the apoapsis and then blast foreward and it will make your orbit longer
If you put it on 1.25x speed it sounds like he just had a bug jug of coffee
The problem is you were using Duracell, you gotta have those Energizer batteries!
But the bunny is so cute...!
I wonder if limiting the throttle more the farther down the snake/DNA the engine is would help or hurt... for various reasons it won't necessarily keep the entire structure pointing up, but your lower end would have less oomf pushing it side to side as the top tries to pull it up
If you reduce thrust on the rear engines it might make the rocket less wavy because there will be some tension in the rocket.
This takes the saying “learn by doing” to a whole new level
10:38 - very good, very good.... the surprise made me laugh 4 times as much XD
It was so perfectly timed, I got it right at the same time it was shown, and that COMBO was powerful
11:33 STOP KILLING ME XDXDXD
Isn't the whipping basically like fishtailing a trailer hooked on a pickup? You want to speed up the front end to stabilize the backend that is going faster than the front end. I bet if you had the front end rockets boosting harder than the back end rockets, they would sort of drag the back end along, creating tension and straightening it out.
I find it amazing that you put a parachute on every single rocket but never once used it to actually save the Kerbal on board.
14:43 XDXDXD aaaaaa this rocket is killing me XD
- what is with this episode? Did I breathe in laughing gas? XDXD
Matt im STILL waiting for the Lets Game it Out collab juuuuuuust saying
Need few more million subs first I think 😅
Lol I know that this is probably way to late but I love that after all the time he has playing this game RCE still hasn't realized that getting to space doesn't mean you're going to float off forever - the best way I've found to explain it is if you think of the moon (or in the case of Kerbal Space Program, the mun or minmus), it is in orbit around the Earth, in other words it is affected by the gravity of earth. So if you were to want to escape the earth's gravity you'll have to go at least past the moon. So if your trajectory is in an upward direction, you're probably just going to fall straight back down and hit the earth again. Orbit is achieved by 1) being in space and 2) going fast enough sideways that your trajectory goes past the earth. Even if you get going fast enough to leave the sphere of influence (SOI) of the earth, you're still not going to just float away into space. It might appear that way in reference to the earth, but at that point you'll just enter the SOI of the sun and be orbiting that instead
My word your pc puts up with so much
Don't worry about losing a bit of DNA at the end, those are just telomeres anyway.
Pushing and pulling works differently if you use vehicle that isn't infinitely stiff. Tip of your rocket should pull with much greater power than bottom push. Use 5% smaller rocket for every stage of "snake" rocket from top to bottom. If it does not help use 7 or 9% smaller thrust each segment. You know how it works
Start full power at the top and reduce the power as you go down the rocket to help with stability on tail.
Also congrats on 420k subs😂 beautiful amount of subs right there.
You can manually (rightclick menu) the heatshield and kick it off. That should work as decoupler.
Never tried though.
Also maybe you could autostrut the snake. But i'd guess it's still too much.
Welcome back to another edition of '101 ways to kill poor Jeb'!
What are you talking about? Jeb has never died, those were just computer simulation training exercises!
It’s midnight, I just made the best bagel in the history of the universe, and I’m watching this video. Thank you for making this so I could eat that bagel
Use autostrut! It makes things less wobbly
To think that that knob would have reached a stable orbit with a better driver at the seat.
You might try adding some reaction wheels between snake segments to help with maneuvers
“I’m such an idiot, it’s just staging”
I felt that……
Now this is my kind of engineering madness
It looks AMAZING!!!
You have to make the strongest shape rocket fly into Uranus
If you put the engines only at the top it will straighten out when you thrust
If you want stable rockets do not make them long. Also use deculpler after heat shield and if you want more fuel use 5 meter fuel tanks an mk-3 pod
Soo after the stronest shape, you are sending DNA to the space :D
defo my favorate youtuber
Cheers Ollie!
You can use "Launch stability enhancer" to prevent the rocket from falling down before you activate your engines
What let you build out side the space ship hanger?
Never doubt the UK Space Agency, Matt
You had a bit of spin stabilisation going on there！
Add boosters to the top so the whole rocket is under tension and hopefully it won’t wobble as much
"Oh I can really hear my GPU fan now"
Me: first time?
11:26 That made me laugh may too much then it should have 😂
The power needs to be more as you get closer to the top so the bottom wont try overtaking the top think pull not push
I love this series
Need fewer and fewer thrusters as you go towards the bottom of the rocket
This is the shape that will pierce the heavens.
That DNA rocket does look like some inter galactic weird organism that flies through space.
