I've just watched the entire series in a day (including the tutorial episodes) and I want to thank you and all those brave Kerbals who gave their lives for my entertainment!
um hello? may I suggest a challenge? i would like you to build something... universal. something that would get you anywhere regardless of what they add (Kerbars/Mars, Kerbus/Venus... etc.). something that just need things added. a good design that would last for forever.
Dude you should totally try minecraft out I bet you would love it it has a la many posibillitys as kerbal, and just as addictive! I think they are the two best indies out there I really you try out minecraft and think outside the box! Pun intended.
WOOT! Heart in mouth stuff there as that Mun orbit looked like it might spin you out in to deep space but nope, captured my Kerbin once leaving Mun's sphere of influence. You got 'em back, right on target, all safe and sound - Good show that man!
2:48 - What happened was you got too far away from the Mun and left its sphere of influence again, so the game recalculated your orbit to be centered on Kerbin.
The game isn't complex enough to do three-body orbital calculations. Every object has a gravitational sphere of influence, and when you cross a SOI boundary, your orbit is recalculated using your current movement vector, but recentered around the dominant attractor.
Congrats on the amazing mun landing and return. A successful mun landing is something I haven't done yet (the closest I've gotten is pancaking a lunar capsule on the surface). Extra props for using a space plane and the picture perfect landing!
Congrats White Owl! Im glad to hear you say that this LF isn't done. I loved this video series, and will continue to love it till the very end. I was more than a bit nervous during touchdown. And during the de-orbit burn.... and every other part of the vid. Great video man. Congrats on the first Mun landing. I'm hoping to join the ranks of Lunar Explorers very soon. :)
What a suspenseful episode. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time, until the final touchdown, when I let out a heavy sigh of relief. Congratulations on an a perfect mission.
I have a challenge for you! Simulate Apollo 13 Mission - You are going to Mun, but you never reach it because some problems with the "shell". You have to use Mun as a slingshot, then return to Kerbin. You have very limited fuel an electricity (RCS uses electricity) at the way home
@Henoik Actually, The Moon is just a name for the natural satellite orbiting Earth - just like The Mun is a name for the natural satellite orbiting Kerbin.
What happened?? U passed through a Lagrangian point!!!! :D
a Lagrangian point is a place in space between two gravitation bodies, where the opposing forces from the two bodies cancel each other out, creating a type of zero gravity.
As u only Passed through it, the Space Craft did not become suspended, instead the orbit around the Mun became weaker then the orbit around Kerbin, so your orbit path changed. :)
@roorory P.S. I do not know if Kerbal Space Program would allow you to stop the craft in the Lagrangian point. Although i hope it is implemented into the game at a later point.... it would be the perfect place to build a space station.. it would never set behind the Mun!!
@roorory P.S.S. there is also a Lagrangian point on the other sides of both the (in real life) the Moon and Earth, and also to the left and right of the axis of symmetry between the Moon n Earth....... sooo.. 5 Lagrangian points in total between 2 bodies.
Excellent! I didn't believe you were going to pull that landing off, and it's nice to be proven wrong. Also, the music that kicked in during final approach? That was a very nice touch. Well chosen, well timed. Loved the whole thing. I have a suggestion for your next challenge. Another Mun mission, but instead of launching vertically from the pad, it has to take off horizontally, and instead of landing on the Mun, it deploys a satellite in close orbit, then returns to KSC. Regardless, well done!
(Claps Enthusiastically) Wow dude, I have been watching this since you started with the Grunt experiments, and after all the setbacks, finally a touchdown! Congrats!
Congratulations! One thing you could have done when you got into your second moon orbit was wait until the moon had orbited more, which would have brought your apoapsis right next to the planet. Beautifully done on the whole though. What other projects do you have planned?
Hey White Owl, with the new engines in C7, I've come up with some new rules for if you ever do some other project with C7.
The small 100 thrust one and the one turbofan with gimbal can only operate below 15,000, while the old standard and the new one with gimbal still operate at 30,000, but can only operate above 350 m/s or supersonic speed, or at least at full thrust, maybe 1/3 below that speed. And the Aerospike can operate at 1/6 thrust in space.
And came back...

@ 2:50 , you came more away from Mun, making you able to get in Kerbin's gravity, as Kerbin's gravity is greater than Mun's.
