Amazing work! I enjoyed every bit of it. One tip though, don't have every clip match up with the music, it makes it a bit jarring and is a little bit hard to follow. Otherwise, 10/10, would watch again!
Amazing mission all around. My one wish is that we got a map view for the Uranus orbital insertion and the transfers to get a sense of where everything is.
Thanks! It took 40 years in-game time (most of it spent on the trajectory to Uranus - due to the fact Uranus needs to be in a very specific place in its orbit in order to capture into the plane of its moons). In terms of IRL time, it took 4 months to make all the parts, the cape, and record it all.
Wow super impressive! And very beautiful. The amount of rockets necessary does almost make me happen that it didn't happen like this in real life though. Will the next mission use more efficient and/or reusable technology? How long did this mission take in game years?
Thanks! That's only 24 rockets tho. The entire mission took 40 years from start to finish. I don't plan really anything solid yet. Tbh, I don't even know where I'm gonna go next.
@@Katniss218 Hey how about manned mission to Venus? Currently there is only two such videos on the whole youtube, and I'd be glad to see third one. I know it is hard (probably the hardest thing in the whole game) but it seems you can handle it.
This version of NASA really do be using every piece of Apollo hardware that still exists. Also, does the lander use a CSM capsule in to allow rentry in case of Apollo 13 types of mechanical tomfoolery?
i do believe there is an expantion pack that brings the total to 5. and if thats still not interesting, do what tyler raiz did and go to pluto with a big rocket
What year did the crew return in this alternate history? And I also believe that in this alternate universe nothing else was altered with technology etc, so no retro-futurism or retro futuristic technology, so everything stays the same 100%! Also a reality where Corona never happened
You're thinking way too much about it. It's just about spaceflight, nothing here has to do with corona. Crew returned in the 2020s, don't remember exactly which year.
If JFK was alive (JFK alive in this alternate history event stuff) I'm pretty sure he would live to now and maybe until 105 years of age, maybe because he had a diet after his near assignation. That would be cool if he was with us today! Damn it would!

17:11 Lining up the chorus of the song with the engine ignition was so cool!
Thank you! :P
Amazing work! I enjoyed every bit of it. One tip though, don't have every clip match up with the music, it makes it a bit jarring and is a little bit hard to follow. Otherwise, 10/10, would watch again!
Are you refering to specific points in the video or just in general?
Just in general. Great video, though! :)
Amazing mission all around. My one wish is that we got a map view for the Uranus orbital insertion and the transfers to get a sense of where everything is.
There was one in the imgur album in the description IIRC
I bet this is what NASA could do if it had the same budget as the US Army
Probably not "D
This video is amazing and the graphics mods are gorgeous
Great video, I can tell a lot of thought went into the mission. How long did it take, both in game and real life time?
Thanks!
It took 40 years in-game time (most of it spent on the trajectory to Uranus - due to the fact Uranus needs to be in a very specific place in its orbit in order to capture into the plane of its moons).
In terms of IRL time, it took 4 months to make all the parts, the cape, and record it all.
I hope kerbals live longer than humans! Jokes aside, 4 months of real time seems pretty quick for such a project. Nice job 👍
You're an artist bro. If you designed this mission by yourself your a genious of mission designing!
Of course I did! :D
Wow super impressive! And very beautiful. The amount of rockets necessary does almost make me happen that it didn't happen like this in real life though.
Will the next mission use more efficient and/or reusable technology? How long did this mission take in game years?
Thanks!
That's only 24 rockets tho. The entire mission took 40 years from start to finish.
I don't plan really anything solid yet. Tbh, I don't even know where I'm gonna go next.

You should make a video explaining the history of your space program
@@rockomax2732 Maybe when there's more lore to it I could do some quick dream montage type thing.
@@rockomax2732 There's a wiki now katnisssspaceprogram.fandom.com/wiki/KatnisssSpaceProgram_Wiki
@@Katniss218 Hey how about manned mission to Venus? Currently there is only two such videos on the whole youtube, and I'd be glad to see third one. I know it is hard (probably the hardest thing in the whole game) but it seems you can handle it.
This version of NASA really do be using every piece of Apollo hardware that still exists. Also, does the lander use a CSM capsule in to allow rentry in case of Apollo 13 types of mechanical tomfoolery?
This is crazy do Neptune next!!!!
There's not much to do at Neptune tbh. Just one moon built into RSS, I'd have to add some more lesser moons myself.
i do believe there is an expantion pack that brings the total to 5. and if thats still not interesting, do what tyler raiz did and go to pluto with a big rocket
@@Katniss218 colonize mercury!
i like it 😍. it is a very good inspiration. Thanks. and more please 👌
Oh you wait, there is more coming ;) Thank you!
What year did the crew return in this alternate history? And I also believe that in this alternate universe nothing else was altered with technology etc, so no retro-futurism or retro futuristic technology, so everything stays the same 100%! Also a reality where Corona never happened
You're thinking way too much about it.
It's just about spaceflight, nothing here has to do with corona.
Crew returned in the 2020s, don't remember exactly which year.
Sorry I'm 14 and have autism
@@Aj61406 Even if it's overthinking, it's good thinking lol
would you use different skyboxes like pood's deep star map or will you use the stock one, and is there a reason for that?
If JFK was alive (JFK alive in this alternate history event stuff) I'm pretty sure he would live to now and maybe until 105 years of age, maybe because he had a diet after his near assignation. That would be cool if he was with us today! Damn it would!
If he had lived History would have been completely different
Great video absolutely brilliant,, I know you shared your parts for the launch vehicles but could you share some of the craft files
I can't. Simply due to the fact I don't have them anymore.
It doesnt look like KSP anymore but that's pretty cool.
Using a Saturn on steroids... This is the way.
13:17 I guess this is a homage to under development's Mars Expedition video? For both this video and that, I loved the montage of refueling launches set in time to the music.
ruclips.net/video/_jZZQZmJ9Og/видео.html (9:37)
Yes, I noticed that too
It takes quite some artistic talent to make the boring refuelling process worth admiring.
Yep, I even commented under his video about that.
One difference is, I have cuts on every single beat, he has longer pauses and "bigger" gaps.
@@Katniss218 I think this sequence is the best part.
Huh, a video about Uranus that created a meme that had nothing to do with the planet's name. That might be a first
23:16 song???

@@Katniss218 thanks!!!
Holy shit this is the longest convo I’ve ever seen about something so dumb. 10/10
Best of the Best
i like the lander you used! it looks like the OG apollo one
That was my inspiration for it
Now it's pluto or nothing right?
Actually, I think about going to Sedna now.
@KaigamerTV It's not, but adding custom planets is pretty easy.
