QuakeIV i like your profile picture. ;) Mick Gordon does awesome soundtracks.
Even this minimal amount of editing is vastly superior to just posting a full stream.
HisRoyalCarlness I beg to differ!
Or most people don't even look at the comments. That seems more likely.
I personally enjoy full streams. You can just skip the parts you don't like.
Rawr900 I'd say that's probably incorrect especially since this is the top comment if you are on desktop you would see it regardless until you fullscreened
asaeampan I didn't say that OPs opinion wasn't the majority opinion. I just said I disagreed.
I'm disappointed that you didn't use Railguns to fire your Railgun to the moon, and another Railgun to slow it down when your Railgun is about to hit the surface of the Mun so you can use the last Railgun to shoot Kerbin.
👌🏻

Well if you wanted to do that it'd be easier to just put the railgun on its side and hit thr vab from the launch pad :P

We heard you like Railguns so we put a Railgun in your Railgun, so you can shoot a Railgun while you shoot a Railgun!
My brain hurts...
This is how they make the mystery goo. They shoot Kerbals into space with this thing, the g forces do the rest ;)
I will never go dumpster diving again
Have you not seen what kerbals can take? Orbital drop is a tuesday as longnas they land on their heads.

Alice Cecil lmfao i cannot tell if this is a compliment or an insult
@BuggiePlays
Yes
60km is enough precision to "roughly hit a major city". Considering the energy of such a space projectile, it will be more than enough to cause widespread devastation.
I deem it a WMD, definitely :)
And, if it was aimed equatorially, it would be within 20km
New Munar speed run challenge:
Put Jeb in a railgun, put that railgun in a railgun, launch the smaller railgun to the Mun and then launch Jeb back.
I heard you liked railguns, so I put a railgun in your railgun.
"This isn't an exercise in smart flying, this is an exercise in stupidity" - Scott Manley, 2017
Just as I read this he said it
literally me whenever i make something ridiculous
so I ran some basic numbers based on your kerbal engineer data and your object of 1655kg going 5778m/s on impact of kerbin delivered 286,877,700 Joules of potential energy
Only equivalent to about 7 tons of TNT, need to get it closer.
I calculated 61 GJ of kinetic energy before impact, (3665kg @ 5773m/s), so a bit over 14 kilotons of TNT.
That's a lot of stress on the accelerator (15.2 meganewtons for ~1.3 seconds). That's more force than 2 F-1 rocket engines!
You must have made an error somewhere. The quick estimate is:
mass * velocity^2 / (9 km^2/s^2) = TNT equivalent
The 14 looks right, but that would be tonnes, not kT.
chakatfirepaw Thanks for the correction, the kinetic energy wasn't in the terajoule range needed for kilotons.

The Mun Is A Harsh Kerbstress, by Robert A. Kerblein.
Beat me to it.
Was gonna say, this reminded me of that book.
brilliant book
Yay, someone else noticed it!

Don't worry buddy.. we all do...
Nooooooo o my god
Have you ever thought of building an Orbital Space Station that Fires Nukes onto any planet's surface while it hovers in its gravity?
"its as aerodynamic as.... something thats not very aerodynamic"
Even though you "missed" the KSC, the actual explosion from that kind of bombardment would have certainly leveled it. Well done!
Could you combine this with the Rods From The Gods projectiles to create the ultimate orbital bombardment weapon?
the problem with that is the moment you shoot it, the station that shot it will be flying in the opposite direction. though at a slower pace due to mass and energy shit that I don't completely understand.
Seems like you could counteract that, somehow. Another mass driver directly opposite the initial one firing in tandem? Have to use something that breaks apart when fired, so you're not just shooting another rod out into the galaxy...
Just spitballing.
Daniel Cabral or just a crap tonna thrusters to counteract the ole' kinetic bombardment weapons of death!
Also a possibility. I'd initially discarded it due to needing to calculate the exact amount of thrust needed, with the right engines, and accounting for fuel, etc. Just seems simpler to counter the momentum of the shot with an opposite-facing shot.
Spyros Sakellariou Yeah, you didn't read the first and second replies, did you?

Planetary Annihilation: Kerbal Edition
Watching his shot approach Kerbin + Brothers in Arms from Halo: CE = weirdly epic scene.
10/10 would bombard again.
Use the railgun to shoot parts of a space station into orbit. Subsequent shots shoot it at the previous parts. In orbit when aproaching the previous part the station may need some assistance assembling them together. Magnetic connections may be the way forward. (magnetic field emission dynamics in orbit) MFED may be needed for controlled assembly . For parts that are susceptable to damage by the railgun can be implemented using conventional measures. eg: rockets
Love your videos, but please limit your levels or move the mic a bit further away.
or just... you turn down the volume?
It's really frustrating, Open Broadcaster seems to do something to the windows audio settings and unless I go into them to reset them after starting OBS then the mic is just super loud. OBS has volume meters and they don's reflect this, it's very annoying.
The clipping produces harsh sounding distortion, that's what you're hearing.
Thanks for your answer! That's a very annoying problem, hopefully it can get patched in OBS.
I love OBS studio (or whatever I use) Only free recording thing I have found that doesn't have that watermark or whatever.
5:00 "There, we shot the Mun." Back in the 60's I had a game called, Shoot The Moon." It had just three moving parts, about fifteen inches long and weighed about a pound, pound and a half. Might still have it tucked away somewhere, and if so, still would be working just fine being made of sturdy wood and steel.
Reminds me of "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress"
Hey just wondering, what mod are you using to get kerbin to look that amazing?
dear Scott Manly, smart flying and stupidity, at least in kerbal space program, are one in the same.
The sensitivity of Scott's microphone makes me moist
omg if he could get that direct hit on his own time when hes not streaming that would be AMAZING xD
best noscope of all time
That's pretty cool there mate! I enjoyed smiling at your fun you were having 😁 some fun variables while launching, and impacts 😀👍
7:52 "Now, Erection control system."
Nice job! I (tried) to calculate the impact force of your slug. It seems based on the numbers to the left (assuming they describe the projectile) that your slug weighs 3,600 kg and had a speed of around 6,500 m/s at the time of impact. Not exactly sure of the length of your slug, which is important for the impact time, but assuming a length of 1 meter at that speed the impact time ended up being 0.0003sec. With those values, I calculated the impact force to be 152,100,000,000 kg m/s^2 (N); or 0.15 terajoules (0.035 kt TNT). Not bad, roughly four times more powerful than the smallest tactical nuclear bomb ever built in the US. Maybe if you can achieve higher speeds you will get better impact forces, but even if you can achieve 20 km/s, you'll only make 1.45 terajoules, which pales in comparison to the 38,000 TJ yield of the B53 Nuclear bomb. So if you want to do real damage, you're going to need to fire a lot more projectiles, clearly.
Whats the name of this Kerbin texture and cities lights and everything?
But do you know the exact name?
***** Fok if I kno.
I use ehh.. "Stock Visual Enhancements", I believe it is called, (basically a variant of EVE) with medium settings and Scatterer (ya can find both on CKAN). With those two mods the game looks pretty much like this.
Those who say "Shoot for the moon, even if you miss, you'll land among the stars" have never played KSP.
how much velocity would an ion drive add to that in the 30 minutes it's flying in space?
For a 1600kg object with a 3kN ion engine means acceleration would equal 0.193125ms^-2. In 30 mins the space craft's velocity would increase by 347.625ms^-1. Not by very much compared to the initial 5500ms^-1. 6.32% increase in velocity.
the mun people have a huge advantage because they are tidally locked and only need one with a huge hinge for inclination changes while kerbin needs multiple stations to be able to constantly fire and also more advanced rockets to get to the far side of the moon
looks like jules verne's idea was good after all...
Except that it used a conventional special gun instead of a magnetic railgun. God, the blast of the shot should be so terrifying that it should be seen and heard from dozens of miles away.
Mr. Manley, It looks like the Driver is upside down. the yellow shock triangle is supposed to have the base and the electric mark in in pointing downwards.
Edit: this is at 1:02
Still have big problem with the saturation levels of the mic... :(
And big difference of the volumes... You tend to scream regularly in the mic lately... Please think about your Headphone users fans. :)
daikuchar nothing to do with volume. Low frequency sounds are picking up harmonics from the higher frequency sounds causing total chaos to the sound & its quality.
daikuchar there's this nifty new feature with headphones. they come removable from the head AND the technology, so now you can listen aloud instead of whining.
that shouldn't be necessary though.
daikuchar you know there is a volume thing on the video or on your computer and you can turn it down and up and it changes the volume like its so cool m8!!!
I remember this guy's videos from 2012. What a change.
I'm curious, Scott. How much of a shockwave/impact crater would that round create traveling at that speed? Could it still dmg KSC from 60km away?
Honestly, I don't know.
It would depend what do you qualify as 'hit'.
It was about as powerful as the bombs dropped on Japan at the end of WWII. Not super powerful by today's nuclear weapon's standards, but would probably have blown out windows and maybe damaged sensitive equipment at the KSC 60 km away
Just calculate kinetic energy and compere it with energy realeses by tons of TNT
+Skip6235
As Scott said, the impact was equivalent to about 7 tons of TNT. In comparison, "Little Boy" exploded with the equivalent energy of 15 *kilotons*... So no, it wasn't "about as powerful"...
When did he say that? On the livestream? Because it wasn't in this video.
IDK, I did rough calculations for a 3665 kg projectile traveling about 6 km/s and got 17 kilotons. Granted, I could be off by an order of magnitude somewhere, since I did it really quickly. Anyone care to check my work?
"Where is my spacecraft? I DON'T GET IT" - Scott's life
Make a stack of those accelerators.
Shit you got a better launch since I last watched your videos. It's like heaven.
make a video on Trappist-1
Heh, ore container. Moon is a harsh mistress...
Talk about a moon shot.
Revisit this thing with the Hydraulic rams from Breaking Ground, you can adjust your inclination on all 4 landing points to actually aim the LA after landing.
You know what would be wierd? Is in 100 or 200 years when we as species collectively agree space is awesome and start building space stations even around Jupiter, that we send some space launch gunk off like the stages Scott sends into the void during the moon landing. Best part is those parts for our hypothetical future survive space long enough to orbit and maybe even reentry of some planet with intelligent life. Like we end up giving stone age equivalent aliens used up rocket boosters
It's as aerodynamic as a brick, a pyramid with the tip chopped off, four fat guys, a skinny guy, and a pizza all welded together.
shooting a rail gun without a firing solution is like shooting a quarter from 1000 yards away with a revolver while the quarter is moving a couple miles a second
I love how jacked and surprised you are by your own brilliance. You take this game constantly to a higher level for me!
Hey, Scott? I am having issues with the Mass Accelerators. I have installed it and I am only getting the Arm Accelerator button, and pressing it does nothing. Could you tell me how you built your MunGun? Thanks!
scott can make anything graceful
I'm getting some real Heinlein vibes with your Mun mass driver, Mr. Manley
Hey Scott, are there any other mods needed than just this one? I keep trying to click "Arm Accelerator" but nothing pops up. Help me out please?
I have never in my life heard of someone trying to snipe a planet. Well done.
Even 58 km off, an object traveling at 6 km a second slamming into the ground would probably cause significant damage to that target.
Mass Drivers. Hell yeah.
Have you played the Baldur's Gate series? I'm just wondering because I'm replaying them now
"I wanna fly it" This is why im still subbed here after so long
I thought this was gonna be an educational video explaining the science behind rail guns and potential interplanetary warfare.
MechJeb's landing autopilot panel will tell you how close your current trajectory is from the landing target. It even takes the atmosphere into account.
We need animations of this, i can see some wacky shit in my head when i listen to this man
wait, why didn't you just fire the accalerator to the mun with another accalerator?
Scott Manley+ how do i get mods because i got my ksp from steam and mods wont work?
This man can launch projectiles back at the kerbal space center. Meanwhile im struggling to balance fuel and thrust ratios to leave the surface.
so apparently there was a 13 minute ad about how to download a game prior to this video and I've wasted like 6 minutes watching it, thinking scott just wanna mess with us.
"That was Scott Kermanley here, good bye and thanks for all the fish !"
Using a video game made for teaching children rocket science to construct a prototype moon railgun
What a time to be alive
Love ya Scott and I love that your still doing ridiculous things on KSP
I have a question that's been buggig me for a while. Why do rockets need to accelerate so quickly? I mean... it'd be a lot easier for the astronauts to do it with a smaller g. I guess, it's maybe because of fuel-effeciency, but hopefully you guys know it better, and could also test it in KSP.
György Mohl most real rockets dont have deeply throttle-able engines. I don't know about modern rockets but the olds ones couldn't throttle at all with there main engines, so its not the start that has such high G's its when the stage is almost empty, and the TWR goes from around 2 to 10 or 15. Its more of a side effect of needing so much thrust to heft everything at the start then required.
It's absolutely logical, thank you for the answer! :)
Now I can't help but think of the teaser for today's episode of The Expanse
honestly i look at these videos and try to be cool like this guy
man, your graphic is incredible... I couldn't let scatterer work... can anyone help me getting these settings?
How much of this is ready built in the game and how much did you put together? Its rather impressive either way. Just curious.
Would you be able to make a small ship that could survive using the railgun to launch it into space?
Mr. Kirban was lookin" mighty sad when that projectile was closing in.
Scott I've been watching u since I was six still great quality
This is terrorfyingly possible. Imagine a base on the mood armed with a railgun capable of firing to Earth. You wouldn't have to worry about the projectile losing much vilocity because of space so the only thing you would have to calculate is time
Scott, lets say this was a real scenario, what kind of damage would it cause to earth? Would it be on par with an asteroid impact?
Gene Myers nothing, it woulve burnt up in the atmosphere.

This Island Kerbin. Perhaps we should call you Exeter! (from the film This Island Earth...)
It took quite a while, but Scott finally, finally took a page out of Jules Verne´s book.
2 words that go together
Kerbal and railgun
Lasers from the "Moon" shooting Kerban... GIVE ME MY DEATH STAR!
There's a story on fanfiction called talkins fist that is about plant earth vs the empire. In a chapter, earth used its remaining nuclear weapons and a 2 mile long rail gun to shoot down a star destroyer. It was one of the most epic moment I read!
Hey Scott, why do you always launch stuff to the Mun sideways (IE, parallel to Kerbin's surface)? Why not just launch straight up when the Mun is almost directly overhead? Isn't a straight-shot trajectory the most efficient?
You lose 10m/s of delta v for every second you burn vertically due to gravity losses, much more efficient to go horizontal.
Have you read Moon is a Harsh Mistress? This is pretty much how the rebellious Moon fights back against Earth. Metal containers filled with rocks launched from a mass driver.
All these shots are technically "point-blank." The formal definition of point-blank is that the influence of gravity is negligible on the trajectory.
How much force would be imparted on the surface of the Mun when it was impacted by the projectile at 5 km/s from ~250 meters altitude? (talking about the moment at 12:05).
edit: Got bored and did some napkin math (the best kind of math).
The mass of the projectile was 3745 kg (craft mass before - craft mass after). For the negative acceleration, I just chose to do 1/60 of a second (.016 seconds). -5,000 meters per second (-5 km/s) divided by .016 seconds gives us -312,500 m/s^2 acceleration. 312,500 * 3745000 g (3745 kg) = 1,170,312,500 kN.
1,170,312,500 kN is roughly 900000000 kN more than the force of sunlight on hitting Earth. It's also equal to the explosive energy of the Soviet Tsar Bomba (50 KT, ~1,000,000,000 joule/meter).
tl:dr: It's a lot.
I like how you just have some random kerbal floating in LKO
This is a hell of a concept.
