Most 'Compact' Rocket Challenge
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 сен 2017
- The challenge is to fit a rocket into the smallest cubic box, as defined by the measurements in the VAB. Must include a MK1 Capsule, Must be able to return safely to Kerbin. Part clipping is cheating!
So far I've managed to shrink it down to 2x2x2

5:20 KSC: ... Val, we think you should get out there and push the pod to orbit..... ... Val?
Just another day in the Space program...
She's probably outside, pushing...

Was just loading up KSP and saw "flying safe" as one of the load texts.
That message has been around since before Scott played ksp

NASA’s always had budget cuts
Just tried this, managed to get a 2x2x2 with 5kms delta-v after some effort. Used side-stacked oscar-b's to get the required compactness.
I've never seen someone try to push a ship into orbit before...
Chris Losey exactly 😂😂😂😂😂
11:45 - Prototype for basically every one-man spacecraft in the entire Star Wars universe.
11:11 Automatically liked because of how awesome that explosion was.
I wonder if it's possible to make a payload-orbit-capable rocket that would fit in the bed of a standard pickup truck?
*space ute
4:32 The F-1 engine had its fair share of difficulties to. For one, they initially had a big problem with combustion instability, causing engines to destroy themselves.
That explosion at around 11 minutes absolutely made my day! XD Thank you!

Isobel Taylor I looked at this comment as he said it.. Oh look, another Taylor
Does that mean its gay?
Or would it be lesbian because ships are considered female
Carlos Arrache Gaming no he means penis I’m afraid lol
@@Grazey how the fuck are space ships considered females?
How are we supposed to fly without the usual advice at the end of the video???
Fly .... uh (looks of screen) dangerously ?
welp ive barely started learning KSP and i already want to try this

Really?
Wat
Scott, man, how many rockets that worth in this vid, you are the most sddicted in KSP!! More than I was when I played like 1000 hours in less than 3 months!! It's a shame that I almost not playing now, but do you know, I don't even need to play because I can just keep watching your videos and that is the true!! But your videos make me wants playing again and this growns each vid that I watch!! Well, tight hugs of an old channel's fan from Brazil!! And keep the always good and honest work!! ;) ;) :D
10:25 Stratzenblitz already kind of did this, where he made a spacecraft to Tylo that could all fit in a very long MK2 cargo bay.
Man i love your kerbal challenge videos! I need moar!!!
That's actually a good exercise to make a compact, portable orbiter for Laythe. If it can reach Kerbin orbit, without the atmosphere it is even more feasible, so you could add some science gear to it as well
Seeing Scott build a orbit-capable rocket which could fit in your room is... something.
“They separated all right” - falls back down toward space center
Can it be a reddit challenge ? (Dimension limit, part cliping isnt allowed etc...)
Cluster bomb at 11:18
Search RUclips for “Wombat Cubic” and you get something about Wombat poop, search for “Scott Manley Cubic” and you get this fun video.
Australia has a space program? Wtf sign me up
The Scott Manley strait launcher:put those in a cargo plane and drop them out the back
Robbaz is the king of cube shaped kerbal craft.
We may not have been going for cube-shaped rockets, but me and some friends definitely have 'compact' down for a high-power model rocket we've built. A little over 54 inches long, 2.22 inches in diameter. 2 stage, powered by an I and then an H-class motor. We had to make some... modifications to some of the bits, including electronics (as in, one of the guys had to de-solder some surface-mount components and re-solder them on in a different orientation), to make it all fit. But sim says it should hit somewhere around 8-10 thousand feet (depending on your optimism) and mach 0.8. Heck, first launch the second stage failed to ignite, and even with the whole second stage as dead weight, the first stage got it up to 2800 feet. No payload beyond recovery and staging equipment (though the latter's not much, it drag-separates) and altimeter (so no on-board camera), so this thing is pure hot-rod.
Oh, and it's for a competition. Must be two-stage, dual-deployment recovery, and have no more than 512 N/s of impulse total. Goal is 5280 feet, and you get bonus points for anything over. We hope to smash the record set by Purdue University to charred splinters.
PyroDesu Haha your going to have to update us
hey Scott! here's a challenge for you: load up the "station one" scenario and take it back to Kerbin unharmed with deadly reentry!
*hint: you are allowed to disassemble it and take it back piece by piece.
0:32 when scott manly is breaking up a fight
You know Scott is really trying when he gets out to push the rocket
15:10: Anything can lithobrake from terminal velocity if its terminal velocity is low enough. That's why we have parachutes - to get terminal velocity down to under 10 m/s.
Kerbal cube
We are the Kerbal. Your fuel and delta v will be added to our own.
New challenge: The smallest craft possible to EVE, *Landing*, and return to earth. ;) Sample return. My rule of thumb was that if it could Land on earth (without parachutes), and take off again; get to orbit; and return (with parachutes); then it had enough delta - V to land on EVE and return to orbit and possibly return (or dock with a return vehicle).
10:40
there are long cargo bays so you can fit a rocket into them quite easily as long as it's narrow
now land a reusable rocket back in it
I love watching the entire live streams Scott! Please post!
Try putting 2 or more linear aerospike engines (if Kerbal has them) pointing at an angle of 45 degrees or less/more at each other converging to a point below the craft. Line the space between with the engines with re-entry style ablative style surfaces to create a larger, combined motor.
Now you have a craft that balances area on the base of the craft and upwards pressure on that area. Sort of like a rocket based hovercraft for both atmosphere and vacuum
gasp! I never thought I'd see the great scott manley perform a get out and push manure.
Watch some of his series.
You should look up the british MUSTARD concept, which actually planned to use asparagus style stageing with fuel transfer between the boosters and orbital craft.
11:14: And now you have less fuel!
You said you'd be making a Borg Cube, but the lack of sharp corners makes it more of a Borg Cylinder.
New scout ship?
Scott! Please Consider uploading the entire stream. These edits are fantastic. But i'm the kind of person who will happily watch a 2 hour livestream while playing ksp. But i never get to catch them live!
8:10 dammit tell us why the height limit!!!!! XD and what about the AUS space agency?
Cubic ships you say? I have a certain Swedish man in mind!
Lord Twahtskie love the cube
Thuds are a great choice. Power to volume ratio is great.
scott: ok so we are actually arcing north because of this thing
*is arcing south*
"It was very, very dumb." Video ends, suggestion at end screen is his 50000 ton lunar rocket. Very, very dumb are the most fun things to watch :)
i like this one. perhaps you could do packing space instead? (smallest rectangular prism that can be drawn around the parts). that could lead to some interesting flat rockets.
now i think the challenge is make the most compact interplanetary rocket.
Lol, literally getting out and pushing.
Made my day
Scott, the N1 also had a billion first stage engines (30) compared to the 5 on the Saturn V, lots of room for failure. Plus all the political and other issues which doomed the program. There's a great documentary called "the engines that came in from the cold" that talks all about it. Check it out!
3:34 LMAO he got out and pushed, but for a rocket to try to reach orbital velocity
the perfect rocket for jerma
These are so much fun to watch.
Hey Scott!
I found a game on steam I think you would enjoy. It's called Thrust & Shoot : Flight School and is in early access. It's a space shooter that is built around Newtonian physics BUT you only have your main thruster, so you can only burn straight ahead. RCS controls attitude only so to slow down you burn in the other direction.
I'd like to see you make a Rocket Man build in you next video XD
By Rocket man i mean a man shaped Rocket
i built a containment module that you could drop into atmo and spin and it would slow down and then when it hit thr ground it would only knock off a few pieces and leave the command module intact.
I just tried this and got it down to 2.4 x 2.6 x 2.6. Did a janky asparagus setup with Oscar-Bs & Spark engines.
I might even be able to get it shorter. I used nose cones and the Mk 16 parachute.
Hullo Scott Manly can you make a plane fly at mach 5 in Kerbin, but before doing so, can you explain the speed of sound on Kerbin and why.!!!
The speed of sound should be roughly the same on Kerbin as it is on Earth, which is about 340 m/s. Though Kerbin's and Earth's atmospheres are different, atmospheric pressure alone has little effect on the speed of sound as pressure and density usually cancel each other out thanks to the ideal gas law. The only variable you're left with then is temperature and it's assumed that Kerbin has generally similar weather and temperatures compared to Earth.
Wow thank you for taking the time to reply. That is very interesting, so mach 5 is about 1700 m/s - pretty hard to achieve - at low altitudes anyway.
Raymond Gabriel ive done 6 times that my jet exploded tho
I got a little carried away by this challenge and managed a non-clipping 2.0 x 2.0 x 2.0 yesterday, more or less a pod surrounded by oscar tanks. Craft files available for the curious at github.com/pushingrobot/ksp-c2be
Why, hullo fellow commenters! Here's a Sattelite, just for you! 🛰

Looks like a Thargoid ship tbh.

When you are late for a Scott Manley Video
"Woah" CRASH IS THAT YOU BANDI?
OOOH, that's a BINGO!
Scott, You MUST do a vid over the SpaceX & ELon's new presentation.
Put the craft in a box, and fly it to the KSC 2 in a plane
Cubesats for busy people.
Bet you can't get to Moho and back on a pancake
Cough cough stratenblitz cough
Ha! You had to get out and push!
Some of the first designs reminded me of the Coléoptère...
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SNECMA_Col%C3%A9opt%C3%A8re
I wonder if a SSTO version of that plane could be made in KSP.
I have a challenge for you. Engineer the most possible pilot friendly rocket. Can you do it? I have some suggestions.
I did a Mun shot once and accidentally blew my chutes in space. Managed to land it in the ocean with no parachute still dont know quite how the pilot survived.
Kai Green you could have repacked your chutes in space :]
I should do a crazy gilly mission or some crap
Got ksp 2 ad didn't skip.
nice
@@michaelerhardt2549 nice.
Scott, Just an idea for a video. Could you do a video based on the Near Future Propulsion mod (ion, hall thrusters)? Also any other mods that are needed for the long, long burn times and possible node splitting. I am having some trouble getting my head around how to best slow down on a planetary approach.
No full video for this Scott? You always stream too late for me to watch but I like watching the full videos.
If you need a little bump to orbital velocity, just get out and push. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I have a question. Do you think space travel would be possible with the technological capabilities that were available in the turn of the 20th century?
You should download the mod Vessel viewer and go to another planet/make a spacestation from the internal view
And yet I still, to this day, have not managed to catch one of your streams. Do you have a schedule or particular days that are more likely to have streams? And at what times?
Tuesdays at 10:00pm Pacific time, or 1:00am East Coast time...
Scott, I have a challenge for you. The 'Jupiter 2' launch vehicle of the Lost In Space movie... could that thing even get to orbit?
Make it so!
And if it cant, figure out how
How small can you make it if you turn on part clipping? Or... how much ∆V can you get from a 2x2x2 cube with clipping on?
As small as the largest part.
Great video but Val's stare was rather distracting. She had one eye on my and the other eye on something off the the side!
I wonder if its possible to make rocket that is more wide than a tall and highly efficent?
Hello mr scott! Do you still have the craft file for the orange efficiency craft? The one that can land on duna and ike? :)
Can you please take a look on "before Kerbin" mod's science?
Hi Scott - I'm sure you get messages all the time - thought I'd just ask any way, just in case. Could you do some videos on kerbal where you fly the pioneering missions with scaled Earth. Like Yuri Gagarin's flight and the mercury missions etc?
please could you do a tutorial on how to use Principia.
It would be a great help
I got a re-usable tylo lander in a mk2 cargo bay.
Why does thee Scaled Composites Model 351 need two fuselages?
Hello Scott, have you ever tried a SpaceX Style Reentry?
How about a spacecraft where each stage is a perfect cube?
Where's the stream VOD?
5:10 intruder alert!!!
So when you do cheat how small can you go
-1m X -1m X -1m
lucas The same size as the pod itself.
The size of the largest part
depends on the scale of your cheating. Clipping? .cfg editing? complete code rewrites...? what is cheating, really?
you know, even then, there's the debug menu. no gravity makes an orbital rocket pretty small.

I know Kerbal is supposed to be smaller than Earth, but can you really leave behind gravitational pull at a sub-sonic speed?
Could a rocket with some magical infinite fuel amount climb to orbit below Mach 1?
You can climb to space at subsonic speed, it's inefficient but nothing in physics stops you. But gettin 100km up to space isn't in orbit, then you need to pick up sideways velocity to stay in orbit.
I remember there being a reason for the space shuttle needing 29Kkm/h. Was that just a fuel/weight thing?
