@@acidwizzardbastard The whole craft probably costs less than the fuel burned by my smallest SSTOs. (But TBF, said SSTOs could put the whole craft in orbit.)
There's a challenge for all good KSPers (which rules me out right from the off): launch a piloted washing machine on a Munar flyby, landing it safely on Kerbin in time for tea.
Eon btw you wrong if keebin is any similar to our earth only the outer core is liquid due to immence pressure the melting pionts of the metals rise above the heat their under so trchnicaly he would be right and supirior in knowledge
"So he'll need to push the craft off the side of the cliff here so it rolls into an upright position, before quickly climbing on board and igniting the rocket engine." Only in KSP
Space engineers had some fairly wonky possibilities too, back when planets were a main part. I made my fair share of SSTO hover chairs for shiggles. And many would need a good shove if they ever toppled over.
@@kauske tbh those were pretty easy to make considering fuel and thrust is so generous in game plus aerodynamics are non-existent without mods. If you added aerodynamics and unlocked speed (so you can go faster than 104.4 m/s) then you could do some really incredible things. I discovered that my Inter-Planetary Balliastic Missile (IPBM) would just obliterate on contact with earth like atmospheres when at its cruising speed of like 10km/s.
@@oceanbytez847 I only ever once upped the speed limit to something more reasonable back in the day. I found that physics broke down at about 500m/s and you could phase right through the ground of planets and asteroids with very little damage. I haven't played it in ages though. Keeping the form factor small with a hover-chair wasn't super easy, given that the thrust curve on atmospheric and ion engines left a decent gap where it was hard to keep going. And hydrogen was fairly bulky. I think the worst part of flying to space in vanilla is just the time it takes to travel the distance you need with that horribly slow speed limit. Especially so on bigger planets that might be 10-15km to orbit.
I was going to say the exact same thing. I was waiting for "and here we are on the launchpad for the 2018 (payload name) to duna for the (agency involved) t minus 2 minutes to launch."
not really, because he wouldn't need any less fuel. he can't use the chute to land on duna, because you can only use chutes while EVA, and he needs to bring the ascent stage down with him. he didn't use any fuel to land on kerbin, so there's no savings there. all it would have done is make his final landing a little more realistic, and be able to aim a little better
The funny thing is, as ludicrously minimal as your main driving craft is (just a fuel tank, a rocket, and a chair) it is actually just as insubstantial as the Lunar Escape System used by Apollo. The LESS only had a nav ball and clock, and featured two seats for the astronauts to ride back up to orbit if the Lunar Ascent Module failed.
I am really looking forward to the gravity assist tutorial. Please make it for dummies. Like Me. Like show the maneuver node setup and let us ( me ) know why you do whatever you do and what outcomes are desired.
You try and get an encounter for a moon without an atmosphere, but with a sphere of influence, that also makes an orbit in the direction you want to go, then you try and get your orbit as close to the surface as possible without it crashing, and then you perform the rest of your burn to your desired location.
I literally just managed my first return flight from duna, I felt pretty good about it to! I used ion Engines to fully reach orbit and then return and here you are getting into orbit and doing a docking maneuver with EVA! I can’t even fly those things! Gg man!
Im a guy good at building rockets but horrible at using them. I have rockets in career mode that could easily go to most of the planets but my only interplanetary manned journey was a space station to Duna which had a landing module.
"Excellent planning" ... Bill's bubbly effervescence in front of television cameras displays, "I was merely along for the ride. An ... hey, there's no eye in the KSP team." [Media gathering explodes in laughter] In other news ... Kerbal Space Program lands yet another bid for the highly-prized series of manned Moon missions ... undercutting all offers from private competitors ...
While I am sometimes an interplanetary chair naysayer, I do appreciate these videos doing so as an intentionally minimalist thing. There's a time and place for it and this is certainly it.
Brad, just some food for thought, command pods that arent spacechairs refill the kerbal's EVA pack when entered, giving you theorethically infinite DeltaV.
They refill EVA packs with monoprop they currently have in storage over craft. I had somewhat funny situation where I forgot to install RCS on my station and only noticed it after year of a flight, when I had need to lower orbit to 72km. I had to push it with EVA for about real hour with constant refills and corrections.
My jaw was already dropping during the video, but the moment you drop the last remnant of "the rocket" and travel between planets using jetpack... I started laughing :D
For the Europeans who don't get why we use periods instead of commas when it comes to decimal numbers, we use the period in place of the comma as mathematics over here the period symbol is also known as the "decimal point" or the point at which you go from whole numbers to fractional numbers. We use commas to separate numbers based on hundreds, thousands, millions, billion, trillions, quadrillions, etc. So for us, two thousand nine hundred ninety-eight would be represented as 2,998 and when divided by 1000 will result in the number 2.998 Hope that helps.
9:49 Jeb absorbs almost 100 g's and he's still smiling. This leads me to believe that Kerbals are actually one uniform fluid under their skin. Probably with the consistency of lime jello.
Brilliant! And why are people whining about ahh... "minimalistic" spacecraft designs? Just look at the view compared to a Mk1 Command Pod! And no skimping on money either, even for its size, seldom have I seen a lander with as much surface manoeuvrability as this one! Seriously though, I really enjoyed this one, I'm a huge fan of really small spaceships, and this one's a little gem! 😀 👨🚀
A Kerbonaut can also survive a fall from space if you give full vertical thrust on an the EVA pack and land in water, but you have to start thrusting like 10-20 seconds before you reach the water.
somehow i had a kerbal stranded in orbit on a chair (because all of the craft had exploded, thanks kracken) and i used her eva pack to deorbit the chair, some how the chair survived reentry, only problem is NO EVA propellant, and i got out of the chair, just waiting for her to die, BUT NO! she survived a 80m crash to the ground, and survived 50GEES wtf
Brad's got the voice of an airline pilot with twenty years on the job. The slight microphone distortion helps, too.
He sounds like the person in a launch who calls out things like “vehicle is supersonic” or “ max q” or “booster sep”
nominal
yup
twenty five.
T-Minus 12 seconds to launch. Engine start. Booster ignition and liftoff. Falcon has cleared the tower. Go for docking.
If you think about it, during the majority of the trip, bill has theoretically infinite legroom. Which is preferred over a flight on a commercial airline.
But imagine if he wants to scratch his nose
Yeah, that's a problem in more ways than one
Asher Goodman though he stayed in space for more than 1095 kerbal days

And his seat is technically both an aisle and a window seat.
I Love that this craft is the living incarnation of fully unreusablility as in 100% of the craft gets destroyed.
