Hey N9, can u tell Penguin that i have a proposal? It is to make a moonprobe rocket, wich is basically R-8 but it has 3 cores, like the Delta IV heavy and Falcon Heavy?
"Return the dog safely to the ground" That dog would have had to survive like 30 seconds of 15+Gs twice, once on launch, and once on reentry. That's one sturdy dog! Only the finest of russian breeds could surpass that test

Aleksandr Kerman was a true communist. May his unimaginable sacrifice of his own life to the development in space exploration be always remember throughout history. RIP Aleksandr Kerman. The best of all Kerbal kind.
The Dog Laika unfortunately died on the 4th orbit after the AC unit failed. The stage 2 seperation tore off insulative pannels and the temperature rose to 107° F killing her after several hours in space. Russian scientists used Moscow strays because they beleived they would have been more adapted to survive the hunger and cold. The original design had her coming back but the mission was rushed to meet an order that it must be ready for a certian Soviet anneversary. (I forget what it was) but the whole Soyuz 2 was designed and built in 3 weeks to meet the deadline and the dog was planned to die via a poisoned serving of food loaded aboard the rocket. Other Soviet space dogs have returned from space alive.
that is a lovely high altitude weather analysis plane you have there, allowing for the prediction of weather, even over the enemies of the state as we are caring to all kerbals! (and not to spy on the americans missile sites)
May his cleverness, strength, and braveness be never forgotten, this Kerbal is one of few that established space exploration for generations to come. The Soviet Kerbal Space Program gives sincere remarks to his family, and will make sure that his dying efforts shall not go to waste. To explore the beyond would never have been possible without his collaboration. He was one of the brightest pilots and one of the youngest, at age 38, he still stood competitive amongst his peers, we mourn his loss and will never forget his life was put on the line to support our cost. Rest in piece brave astronaut.
Your pronounciation of "glaz" is pretty much accurate except for the long "a". We don't do that. Though, for space tech we would rather use more archaic word like "oko" imho. But glaz is cool too, anyhow.
@4:48 you put an interstage fairing ring just above a decoupler - that ring actually functions as a decoupler itself, you just need to attach the top node (floating ~2m above the ring) to the bottom of the engine, and then reduce the "height" slider and increase the "extra height" slider to set up the fairing properly.
Hey Beardy, just commenting to say that I'm loving this series (though possibly a bit less than FoK) and that it is once again making me want to try realism overhaul. Maybe I'll actually do it at some point. Also RIP Aleksander Kerman
The space race is a *wonderful* way of spicing up the regular KSP formula! Personally, I'd love to see this series go beyond the first moon landing - who knows, maybe a race to establish a permanent colony on mars similar to the scenario in 'Mars Horizon' ? Beyond the gameplay, I'd just love listen to you talk about more interesting facts and history bits about the crazy concepts they came up with in the 20th century for space exploration, and what mission plans exist today.
It was. The Americans were really interested in Russian weather. It was a big deal from the late ‘40s through the ‘80s. They call it the Meteorology Conflict.
Hey Beardy, check out the Tupolev Tu-123 as an example of Soviet spyplanes you might enjoy copying in the future, especially for very high speed contracts. Not only was it badass looking, it used a special "disposable" version of the MiG-25's engine to get up to SR-71 speeds!
I enjoy this series very much. I find the different takes of you and N9 to be very entertaining. You giving us snippets of life in the Union of Kerbal Socialist Republics, while N9 has gone for a very documentary feeling. Keep up the good work.
Your pronunciation is actually OK with russian words, don't know why you worry so much. By the way, in Soviet times we liked to name our spacecrafts somewhat more propagandist, like Soyuz (unity/Union), Progress, Voshod (the Dawn), Zenith, Zarya (the Sunrise) or Salut (the Firework. Yup, really, we called space-stations that). Of cause it would be more fun if you didn't carbon-copy the names and came up with some of your own, but in the similar tone. Great latsplay by the way, extremely interesting to watch. Keep on the good work, conquer Space for the Motherland and try to not collapse as a country in a meantime. Cheers from Moscow xD
I'm guessing this series will end with the end of the irl space race but is there any chance of this series being longer/having a sequel because I'd love to see an extended space race to mars or whatever
"We don't need to worry about Sweden or Norway". The swedish Air force turned intercepting SR-71s into a hobby at one point, so maybe you should worry....
What a glorious plane the Soviet Union is turly the most technologically advanced country In the world in aircraft technology. 🇷🇺 RIP Alizander you where good son real good maybe even the best.
Regarding the U2 flight, you can bail out under 20km even if you don't have that Astronaut Complex upgrade. It allows you to do Yuri Gagarin style returns, besides the sheer utility of it.
@@TheBeardyPenguin I might've confused it with the X-15 cockpit! Either way, it is a good tip to have in mind for the early capsules, you can bail out below 20km even without the eva upgrade.
@@TheBeardyPenguin alright ! :) one more quastion tho, i installed your mod list now KSP is loading to about 40-50% then it drops back to 10-20% and the loading bar just says " module manager" thats it i let it load for almost 40 min nothing do you know what this could be ?
I find it confusing that the rocket plane’s name is HAR ( I’m assuming that’s how it’s spelled ) sounds like a acronym for high altitude reconnaissance and it’s just a normal rocket plane
Oh man, those recovery contracts would be much harder with the more recent RO builds. The reentry heating got much more brutal. Haha, inefficient Soviets need 150 ton pad for lunar probes.
That's not within the scope of the series.. Last time I checked the cold war stayed cold That doesn't mean there won't be plenty of shenanigans with each other's satellites though ;)
@@TheBeardyPenguin Perhaps develope ICBM just for role play purpose? Why it is true that it will never be fired it would be cool to see missile development.

Komrad this is brilliant because unlike the U2 the spyplane isn't total garbage

Always looking forward to new episodes, keep them coming!
For the glory of the Soviet Union!
Now after Glaz, I can't help but hope for a Kapkan or Tachanka :P
Honestly I didn't even think about Rainbow Six, I just googled translated "Eye" into Russian :P

Aleksandr! Spell it correctly, comrade. A vacation would not be in your current interest!

Complaining is part of Soviet culture.

For the Motherland comrade, to the stars we must go.
perfect choice of tea, chamomile is the best hands down, especially when risking the life of a kerbal to get it
Gotta admit, I really do like the red and silver, quite a sleek colour scheme
We will tell the higher ups that it was just a test flight.
I have to admit that it sounds like you don't want a package holiday to siberia.
The U2 was a weather plane
The more you know
It was. The Americans were really interested in Russian weather. It was a big deal from the late ‘40s through the ‘80s. They call it the Meteorology Conflict.

YES OH MY GOSH. I look forward to each new episode, I literally love these. they are incredible please keep making more.
Always look forward to this :D
I've been loving this series, both you and N9 have been awesome, keep it up
Sputnik 4 should have been called "Polyus" (Pole)
since it's in a polar orbit
I love this series, thank you for continuing it!
The R-8 feels like something... Completly new, a massive upgrade
Always a surprise when these come out, but a welcome one
Not sure how considering it's on a two week schedule :P
I actually salute every time a kerbal dies.
keep on going, this series is great!
Thank god another episode this show is epic so gooodddd
The British send their condolences to Alexander and his family.
May his strength live on immortally throughout all men.
Alexander Kerman never existed, he can't be found in official documents and the other cosmonauts confirmed he never existed

One small video for beardy, one giant 1 hour long video for N9.
