This was pretty funny parodying the Falcon 9 launch and livestream, loving the little tracker at the bottom too. EDIT: Oh god the return capsule twist at the end was the best.
If you fly a steep ascent profile and meco at ~50k ASL, you’ll have enough time to circularize with the second stage and then switch back to the first stage before it reenters Kerbin’s atmosphere.
Fun fact about this mission: One of the payloads is a CubeSat Calle EagleCAM from ERAU (my uni in Florida). It will land *before* the lander itself and will attempt to take images of the lander landing. It will create third person views of a spacecraft making an extraterrestrial landing, which hasn’t been done before!
@@abbagang3844 heyo, I am not part of this team (i am undergrad and the team is for grads only), but I still need to design (not build) a cubesat for my senior design project. Basically, you can break the cubesat into 2 parts: payload and bus. Payload is your science equipment (ex: bio samples, cameras, sensors etc.), so that part is designed and built specifically for the mission, so how it is built varies. The bus is the rest of the cubesat. It provides control, communication, power, etc. Many parts are actually commercially available to purchase online (check a company called Endurosat to get an idea), but sometimes components are also made in-house. Then you assemble the parts that best fit your needs and you make a satellite! Ofc this is still quite difficult and expensive (individual components like power distribution systems or on-board computers or reaction wheels could cost up to $60,000 if not more), I am just paraphrasing haha. How much exactly was bought off the shelf for EagleCAM and how much was made in-house, I do not know.
I am actually really glad they finally updated the swivel to remove the flange at the top. My old falcon 9s used to have an awkward ring at the bottom.
Here's a mission....Strap some solid boosters on the Starship booster to see how much more payload you could get to orbit. How 'bout if the payload was solid boosters for one leg of a Mars mission. :)
Well Matt what do you know, like what you demonstrated in this animated process. SpaceX already made your vision a reality. They just launched a Falcon 9 rocket and it carried a lunar lander inside made by a private company, and they already sent it into space. And as of today it just made history, it's successfully landed on the Moon. The new lunar lander made by its private company, became the first private lunar lander to land on the Moon. And the first for America to return to the moon since Apollo 17 back in 1972. I just saw it on the news today, and I'm very proud of SpaceX and even the private company that made the lunar lander. And it looks like they made your vision become a reality
this would be very nostalgic if he started off the commentary with "this is my weeks entry for the weekly reddit challenge". But yes, very very happy to see a KSP back on one of the most OG KSP channels!
I didn't think I would ever see a newly updated Kerbal video, so nice to see this returning, I've been watching your vids in lockdown/Isolation and got into Kerbal myself because I was so inspired by your videos, thanks Matt
I miss seeing KSP on Matt's channel. Like Space This Week is fine and all, and I do learn more about what's going on with rockets (even if I'm not super happy how much focus there is on SpaceX), but I LIVED for his KSP commentaries. Plus I've learned how to play KSP better because of his tutorials and even just watching how he does things. It helps a lot! So please do more KSP Matt!!! We would love it!
A KSP video after long , yay! Really love your videos. Also you might want to get this mod called "flight manager for reusable stages" , it basically creates quick saves like you did but you can recover the first stage and continue with your mission.
He's quite aware that there's mods that allow this and even mentions it in the stream, *DOH*! And in the 2017 Falcon 9 stream he references in this stream he even mentions FMRS by name. And as he mentions it's actually possible to do stage-recover in a no-mods too, it's just complicated due to the KSP physics range issues.
I have made working complete-in-one-mission falcon-9 style boosters in stock ksp, but not sure if I used any dlc parts. Mostly vector based, trick is to go for quite a large first stage to give loads of extra delta v for boostback and also to aim for quite a high peak altitude, basically knock the payload into a "well out of the atmosphere" trajectory, do your boostback very quickly, switch to the second stage very quickly, and circularise asap, or at least enough so you can switch back to stage 1 for landing, and then finish your second stage burn after landing. I usually use the next continent along on kerbin for the landing to maximize payload/delta v to orbit, with the right admin building thingies selected you will recoup almost the entire value of the first stage. Additionally I tend to make the second stage a spaceplane for the return, so i can land it right on the runway on re-entry.
YES FINALLY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And maybe, for reusable rockets you could deploy chutes on the first stage and the leave it (but it will maybe that the chutes will burn)?
Fantastic. Now I'm going to have to start a new KSP career. Great video Matt! I especially loved the "Oh thank God!" stage of the booster landing. Nothing like coffee shooting out of your nose to wake a body up.
I think you do great at videos you watch to see cool things done in KSP, and also things you listen to in the background cause either youre speaking about something funny, a super long funny rant, or your entire lifestory.
So when building a custom rocket when getting to orbit you can have a powerful upper and lower stages. So after you decouple you can get to orbit before the first stage gets to low to the ground. Therefore not having to quick load
Push apoapsis out of the atmosphere with first stage, separate and circularize orbit with second stage at apoapse, and then switch back to first stage to land it.
Such a fun video. That twist had almost Shyamalan quality, just with the difference that I don't expected a twist and it did not feel constructed... yeah... probably I should have mentioned Shyamalan and just said "great twist". So... Great twist there!
You know, I really wasn't sure that this video was going anywhere meaningful in the first half, but that one chicken nugget really just saved the whole thing, man.
The real Falcon 9 points about 45° upwards on the boostback. Because of the rotation of the earth that's dV wise the cheapest way back. That is a really short burn in KSP and give you enough time to bring up the AP of the second stage enough to do both the landing and the circularization.
Sucks you couldn't enter because i envy your ability to create on this game, i am in no way as diligent and creative as you with KSP. i also am still learning very much about the abilities of the game and about space travel in general. Before i purchased KSP i knew prob about 5% of what i know now regarding space traveling and manufacturing of rockets, it also sparked a huge interest in the space programs as a whole. Outstanding game
Good job matt. I’ll make my submission tomorrow. I finished mine a few hours before watching this and I did use more of the second stage to do the burn plus I never orbited Kerbin I just shot it straight there from take off. The wording was unclear but I think they will like my entry I hope.

You can never beat Lowne Aerospace

yeah, i dont know why matt always insists it isnt possible to land the first stage
@@peopleperson he landed with 17 m/s of delta v left. If he did that he wouldn’t have had enough to land there.
You need "Place Anywhere" RCS thrusters on the top of the booster to control boost back and upper atmosphere.

Honestly super well done mission. You were spot on with fuel levels, *and* you showed up Intuitive Machines big time with your return mission!
What a lovely video to wake up to Matt! Bravo!

Big thanks!!
Now that's the old Matty boy I know and love. Love the video . And you even had the voice of Jesse from SpaceX . I am so in love with her.

Wow Matt we are so proud that you were able to collaborate with SpaceX on this one on of a kind Lowne Aerospace x SpaceX Flacon 9
I don’t believe my eyes. Coffee and these videos are my fav kind of sat morning. Super glad to have got one today! Sweet vid!
I'm always glad when you upload a new video!
The edition with the launch commentary and interface is great!
I absolutely love the humor and editing in this video
5:06 I like how this part of the mission is called "oh thank god"
Whenever Matt posts, all the homework can wait a bit...
I love it but I'm sorry that you can't enter the competition but your my favorite kerbal space program RUclipsr keep up the good work;)
Long awaited, modestly amusing, always entertaining, occasionally amazing, and totally realistic of course.
So when building a custom rocket when getting to orbit you can have a powerful upper and lower stages. So after you decouple you can get to orbit before the first stage gets to low to the ground. Therefore not having to quick load
