Never really seen a whole video on how Constellation is supposed to work so this was a great video for me to watch and it also show how versatile Kerbal space Program can be. I have also seen one on a SpaceX rocket and others. Great job and thank you for sharing, keep up the good work. I am interested in maybe getting Kerbal and trying it out. 🚀
Keep in mind that this guy has hundreds of mods installed - to not go insane installing the full RSS/RO package, I'd heavily recommend CKAN. Look it up on the KSP forums.
Incredible video. You can definitely see the attraction of Starship though. Zero space debris through orbital refuelling and less complex events and opportunity for mission failure.
With the way rotation is used for artificial gravity it's interesting how what would be the floor during coasts would end up being the ceiling during burns.
coming back after a few years to say that this is the video that got me into playing rss / realism overhaul, and now it's the only way i play the game. thanks mate!
A few comments 1. Its really weird seeing the ESA service module on an Orion launching on an Ares 1, I like it, makes it feel more realistic 2. I noticed a few changes from the NASA proposal, the manned lander having wheels, no Orion capsule being launched the the habitat section, Im also not sure if NASA ever proposed using the entire stack to generate artificial gravity but I could be wrong there. 3. HOLY CRAP THAT THING IS HUGE! I mean I always knew it was big, but I had never seen it with a person (or kerbal) next to it for scale. Thats incredible Awesome work as always, can't wait to see what you come up with next
Without wheels on one module I would not have been able to rendezvous both modules on the Mars surface. They've landed about 50 km from each other. Unfortunately both landers were eaten by Kraken shortly after rendezvous, that's why scenes with Kerbals on Mars are so short.
I love how these simulations give viewers an idea of how some proposed space mission plans would look. I like how this particular simulation uses the spacecraft to create "spin gravity" for the sake of the astronauts. I really like the clever lander/launcher/wheeled RV concept for exploring the Martian surface. There are some questionable notions, however. That spacecraft (the pressurized habitat segments for the expedition team) seem a bit tiny for a crew of that size to live in for what could be a two-year (or more) round-trip. So that part would have to be bigger. (If they're growing their own food all through the mission, and NASA wanted redundancy for safety, plus also built-in shielding from solar radiation and cosmic rays and meteors, it would have to be quite a bit bigger!) Maybe that inflatable section could be tripled in size? I'm guessing with some of the new generation of impressive heavy- and superheavy-lift vehicles being developed by SpaceX, Relativity, Rocket Lab and others would be more than capable of putting a much larger and more impressive set of interplanetary vehicle components into low-Earth orbit, to be assembled into an even more elaborate mission spacecraft. Of course, NASA is also said to be working on nuclear propulsion technology that would hopefully reduce interplanetary travel time. If that were the case, and travel time between Earth and Mars were reduced to just days or weeks instead of months, this could have a profoundly positive affect on the whole outlook of interplanetary exploration. Also: think of what a ship like this could be like if those new-generation launch vehicles could deliver more elaborate vehicle parts to Earth orbit, so that the overall vehicle size could be much longer, (maybe 250 meters or more) allowing the "spin gravity" to be limited a safer 2.0 RPM, which could simulate Earth-normal 1.0 g.
NASA has been quite confident using SRBs on manned launchers, shown in the Shuttle and soon to be SLS. Since both Ares and now SLS both have LES towers for Orion, it's probably safe to assume that abort capability was an option before MECO as well. I remember seeing only one study showing risk during an abort before the SRB burnt out, but that was rather vague. As for your comment about unsafe acceleration, I do not know what you are talking about.
Aborting within the first minute of an Ares I launch had a near certainty of total crew loss. This was, of course, very problematic. ( www.spaceref.com/news/viewsr.html?pid=31792 ) I really enjoyed the Ares I in concept, as well, but it wasn't very compatible with an American concept of spaceflight.
I don’t know if i’ve commented on here before but this is a really good video in general. The mission, music, cinematography, it’s all really nice and i’ve spent a lot of time watching this religiously, good job
Just think of how much are lives would be amazing I mean think about resources in space while we’re fighting for oil cause it’s a cheap alternative to renewable energy I can think of a million ways are life can be better due to innovation and space and that’s why i love ksp and space as well.
@@badbeardbill9956 NASA can't do anything because each president sets different objectives. 4 years isnt enough to prepare a Mars mission. Obama set the objective as Mars but noooo, Trump had to change it. The budget has also been decreasing. It NASA had a budget even just 1/4 of the military budget (150B$) we'd probably already be on Mars. NASA was forecasting to prepare a mission to, get this, Alpha Centauri, by the end of the 20th century.
@@henrijayy Trump actually hasn't changed NASA's objective that much. He's continued development of the heavy lift vehicle (SLS) and Orion, both of which were outlined by Obama's 2010 NASA Authorization Act. The International Space Station, along with the Commercial Crew Development program have continued to receive support, both of which were outlined in said Act. Progress on SLS and Orion, although slow and over budget, is progressing with NASA already planning a Lunar Gateway with the high likelihood of reusable lunar landers, all in preparation for manned flights to Mars. If future Presidencies don't can SLS and continue to support this venture, we have no reason but to be enthusiastic about what the future holds.
The constellation program was canceled about money, you know? In this position the SLS was setting in. But it's nice to see how a Mars-Service-Modul looks like and how it should work. I couldn't imagined it before.
I would be a nervous wreck on a mission like this, as an astronaut or at mission control. There are so many non-redundant systems that have to perform flawlessly to keep the crew from dying. Each extra stage, each part that has to work without a clone to do it's job if it fails, exponentially increases the chance of total failure. I recently had my OS crash and burn because I had unknowingly made it dependent on two drives instead of one, one of those failed and I lost my entire install and half my data. My point is that if you can't include redundant systems because physics or budget limits you, you can still vastly reduce risk by reducing the number of compounding risks by making the mission simpler. For a Mars mission an example of this would be Spacex's BFR design. While the entire mission is still complicated (multiple booster landings), the part that involves crew is much simpler.
I will be there. Mark my words FakeNoob Yup, Danny Pipe Wrench will go to Mars. Or at the very least be the guy who builds the machines to go to Mars. Or maybe specifically the nuclear reactor for the NTP system. Whatever.
I'd have let the station on high eliptical orbit at Mars, and then send the crew on the return vessel to rendevouz with lander. When coming back on the ascent vehicle, dock again with return vessel, back to station and home. This way you save fuel, and mass, because you nethier need the docking adaptor. Great video anyway ;)
Good, the astronauts have artificial gravity, but they should be able to go from the gravitational area to the zero-gravity area and vice versa. They should not be exposed to the coriolis force all the time during the long journey.
Nasa has decided to use conventional fuels to for manned missions to Mars, this means the trip will take 11 months to get there, and if something goes wrong there screwed. They will only have at best a short time window and must return that is another 11 months so your talking 22 to 23 months. We need a nuclear despace powered vehicle and the United States did much work in this field in the 1950's and up through the 1970's, the Orion Program that used Atomic bombs to propel a vehicle through space, models using conventional bombs proved the concept works and then there was the Nerva Program which they actually tested the nuclear engine out at jack-ass flats. It worked as well, both vehicles would get the crews there in three months and there would be enough fuel if something wrong happens and you could come by a manrated Ion engines as well.
Great video ! With the SpaceX BFR and the Blue Origin New Glenn coming online soon about 2020/2021 trip can be done cheaper (not cheap) ! The BFR and New Glenn will reduce the cost to LEO ! The NASA developed NTP engines will reduce the cost travel in space (with a higher ISP). A trip time of six months from Earth orbit to Mars will mean a Free Return to Earth if any problems and also more cargo ! (Than hauling heavy Oxygen for just only chemical engines). The NTP and also the LANTP engines can be done now and are reliable ! Also the Ion and VASIMR can be done soon... Back to the Moon to Stay and onto mars and Beyond-Ad Astra... tjl
NTR is great. Finding suitable reaction mass is another thing. Hydrogen is an absolute pain to store, methane has a third less specific impulse (644 vs 900+) and would create coking (carbon deposits) in the core, the disassociated oxgyen from water would eat the guts out of the core and has a specific impluse only slightly better than chemical fuels, and ammonia is worse. I designed my 'tumbling pigeon' interplanetary craft using a methane NTR and aero-capture.
I’m so confused as to why the crew lv is the only one that has the entire srb as the first stage, when everything else would probably cancel out the small profit you gain from replacing the liquid fuel from solid. Great video!
Nothing against your video, I thought it was absolutely amazing but I think it shows part of the problem with how NASA wants to about with the whole Journey to Mars. It is just so much work and money just for a single crew to get there and back ONCE.
Yea I agree with the safety over efficiency part but the problem is they don't get nearly enough money to do everything they need to so I just don't see anything even near this scale happening in the even close (next 2 decades) future because of how much hardware and tech they have to develop and test before they can even think about sending people, but I definitely hope that I am proved wrong.
*@Chooky1441* America's a democracy. If you want space travel to be a bigger priority then do something about it. Call your representative(s) that you want a greater focus on NASA and vote for people who put space travel as part of their platform. American democracy has it's problems, but overall it's largely well executed with little to no corruption - even though it may not appear that way from a distance. NASA is a government organisation, it answers to politicians. Politicians in America are elected, they answer to you. Political types are none too bright, but in the end they're just people like everyone else. If they see that people are actively going out of their way for space flight (nicely) then they'll do something about it.
I suspect that we could implement Zubrin's Mars Semi-Direct architecture, with a crew of 4,, using SLS and commercial providers, and without using nuclear-thermal propulsion (not that I have anything against NTP, other than cost and mass), and using "only" 3 SLS launches (2 in one Mars conjunction launch window, and 1 in another) per one crew round-trip - maybe even less if we use Falcon Heavy to delivery cargo to the Martian surface. That, IMHO, would be the quickest route to a crewed mission to Mars. But there are so many competing architectures these days: the current plan to develop a "Deep Space Outpost" over the first several SLS launches, and to use solar-electric propulsion; Mars Cyclers; etc. The most important thing, IMHO, is to maintain steady, sustainable progress into the Solar System, rather than "flags and footprints" misions which occur at rare intervals, with decades in between.
I think the main problem of this mission and the reason they ended it was due the lack of reusability, I love this one better but starship would be more reusable and cheaper
Ceux qui prévoient ne sont décidément pas ceux qui paient! La capsule orion ne sert, au cours du voyage, que de taxi en banlieue martienne, comme si un rendez-vous orbital n'était pas possible directement entre le train spatial et le module de descente-passagers pré-positionné en orbite. Dès lors, Orion ne sert plus qu'à rentrer dans l'atmosphère terrestre, en toute fin du voyage. Ne serait-il pas possible de la laisser en banlieue terrestre, allégeant d'autant l'effort de propulsion du train?

So great to see another awesome mission recreation. Also especially awesome to see the Ares 1 fully realized. Such a shame we abandoned that vehicle.

Would you ever think of doing one for the SpaceX ITS mission?
I suspect that we could implement Zubrin's Mars Semi-Direct architecture, with a crew of 4,, using SLS and commercial providers, and without using nuclear-thermal propulsion (not that I have anything against NTP, other than cost and mass), and using "only" 3 SLS launches (2 in one Mars conjunction launch window, and 1 in another) per one crew round-trip - maybe even less if we use Falcon Heavy to delivery cargo to the Martian surface. That, IMHO, would be the quickest route to a crewed mission to Mars. But there are so many competing architectures these days: the current plan to develop a "Deep Space Outpost" over the first several SLS launches, and to use solar-electric propulsion; Mars Cyclers; etc. The most important thing, IMHO, is to maintain steady, sustainable progress into the Solar System, rather than "flags and footprints" misions which occur at rare intervals, with decades in between.
I'm more in the camp of "nuclear pulse propulsion."
Better to ask forgiveness, I say.

I think the main problem of this mission and the reason they ended it was due the lack of reusability, I love this one better but starship would be more reusable and cheaper

hi can you send a zipped file with your mods, to help installing??
Just look at the GitHub installation guide
It's bloody complicated!
Please continue making videos
I'm back, new video will be released tomorrow.
Ein geiles Video !!
When the crew mission there was a song make me something
that ship is massive
Well done! :D
Those rockets look sussingly similar to SLS
It's the Ares V, similar staging architecture but different (and much more capable) rocket than SLS
The SLS it is recycled from costellation program(ares IV)
@@brokensoap1717 SLS is more capable than Ares V according to some rocket enthusiasists
What will you be doing next? Space station construction or Jupiter flyby maybe?
I believe it's a manned Europa mission.
I saw the trans-mars injection and I was thinking “why hasn’t he ditched the fairings?” Of course I forgot Mars has an atmosphere. lmao
At 8:26 your watermark perfectly overlayed the Kerbal's face (well, atleast on my phone it did)
i’m not sure if spinning the craft was for fun, or as a makeshift centrifuge lol
You could not be bothered to land near the return vehicle
Ceux qui prévoient ne sont décidément pas ceux qui paient! La capsule orion ne sert, au cours du voyage, que de taxi en banlieue martienne, comme si un rendez-vous orbital n'était pas possible directement entre le train spatial et le module de descente-passagers pré-positionné en orbite. Dès lors, Orion ne sert plus qu'à rentrer dans l'atmosphère terrestre, en toute fin du voyage. Ne serait-il pas possible de la laisser en banlieue terrestre, allégeant d'autant l'effort de propulsion du train?
Very impressive!
Amazing!
Hi
Cómo ingresa a la atmósfera de Marte sin fricción y calor ??? Hay algo mal en este video.
I landed on the moon once, but the frickin rocket tried to smash into the moon instead orbit and land on the moon.
