Kerbal Space Program - The Magic Ladder (to Eve and back)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 дек 2023
- A kerbal on a ladder has its mass and drag ignored by the parent craft, which is obviously very powerful for mass optimization. This craft can do an Eve return in under 4 tons. Mass without kerbal and without cargo is 3996 kg; mass with cargo but without pilot is 4061 kg.
This is very similar to, but distinct from, the ladder kraken drive. The only force exerted on the lander is from propellers and engines (and air resistance). However the basic principle is similar - a kerbal cannot transfer force to a ladder, so in this mission the kerbal is effectively massless and dragless, while in a kraken drive it can push against another part and create an unbalanced force. This should be legal under the standard low mass rule set, although I wouldn't be surprised if the rules were changed afterward.
Thanks to Ultimate Steve for discovering this and showing me.

This is certainly some scraping off the optimization barrel
madness as always, the flag entry shield was insane
And here I was seeing the thumbnail and thinking "wow, a four-ton Eve ascent that's impressive!"
Wow, this might make eve and back in 80 days a bit easier for people who actually want to do it
This craft uses DLC rotors and this technique may be difficult with stock propellers
@@proxima_fish Yeah maybe
Telekinetic wizard goes to Eve.
Someday the quest for less weight is gonna circle back around to the pre-1950s concepts for saving weight on rockets when specific impulse was *really* low. Stuff like combustible fuselages and cellular staging. Probably not possible to to in stock KSP but eh, not my problem.
This is incredible work! Flag heat shield was something I never even thought of!
Hm I’ll assume one day rocket chair to Eve and back is possible
the silliness is mounting, improvements are counting (idk)
Very impressive, I am happy to see more KSP channels showing that the bondaries of rocket design can be pushed to the next freaking level.
It was cool that you used orbital construction as it makes ship designs even more interesting.
Also I didn't know that you could use flags as heat shields, I will surely keep that in mind for my next missions!
Min/maxing the game to the most extreme degree. Incredibly impressive work.
Anyways time to revolutionize the low mass grand tour again
With this trick (just on the Eve lander) and a couple ascent optimizations that are in this video but I didn't mention, the mass goes below 7 tons. And it'll get even lower if magic ladder is used on all the other landers as well.
This is absolutely insane, incredible job
Bro made a space scooter
beautifully designed
Deserves more than 10k views
this is insane!
That's a stairway to heaven! :)
Here before this video blows up
How did I never realise before that you can change MechJeb settings while paused?
I love KSP but I don't understand anything of what you guys are doing in these crazy videos. How you do it is also a mystery to me. Still, very entertaining to watch.
Amazing mission!
Pushing the limits beyond the limits, beyond the li... ?
GG ^^ very impressive ❤
why dontcha have more views and subs? Ya totally deserve more :)
Pure insanity but good job!
Incredible optimization😆
The chuck Norris of Space 🤣🤣🤣🤣
ah yes, breaking ksp physics so hard it's basically magic or alien tech
all you need to go to eve is a kal controller,fuel tank and 2 smallest engines but this bullshit is pretty damn close
watched this while listening to Mozart 2x Speed Left Ear | Bible In Chinese Right Ear
actually impressive, now what if you attempt to go to eve, moho, and eeloo using this new trick?
its challenging but i have hope
good luck my fren :D
Niiiiiiice!
bro hold ladder for 14+ years
Wow.
NASA should hire you.
I'm already at SpaceX!
@@proxima_fishamazing
Yowza
Super cool! Does the kerbal occlude the part of the rocket beneath it and negate drag on the front face?
There's no drag occlusion unfortunately
Hey what mod did you use to get that background of space in the actual game?Or is it some setting?
It's a skybox replacer called Pood's Calm Nebula, you can get it off CKAN.
@@proxima_fish Sick. Thanks!
Hello, what is the mod for the engine flames?
Waterfall by Nertea and Stock Waterfall Effects by KnightofSaintJohn
How does this compare to all previously known kraken drives?
It's not a kraken drive. I'm not getting any impulse for free, simply getting more out of the rockets that I already have.
@proxima_fish oh that's crazy, I didn't realize
Ok do 3 tons
This game is broken in the best way possible
holy shit bro this is insane, go work at spacex please..
Wack
now do it in real life😂
