Let's Fly Kerbal Space Program: part 19

[segaprophet]

It's pretty amazing how quickly grunt gains altitude on lift off - you stumbled into a pretty phenomenal design there

[kaptainkarnage69]

I actually got a bit emotional when you headed off towards Mun and looked back on the shrinking Kerbin

[sysouvanh]

i want to make a space station and launch it in KSP! lol too much?

[RickStrife2022]

Lol long empty tube.

[orbitz31415926]

Why not find a way to put grunt 45 into an orbit.?

[None8934]

the song at the start of episode is awesome!

[predatortheme]

This is the game we all dreamt from!

[btw094]

Take a moment of silence for all kerbals who lost their lives due to space plane air explosions.

We solute you.

You will not be forgotten.

[rmills963]

could you put up a copy of GRUNT-45 as a download. you just put up your .craft file

[TheWinterOwl]

@rmills963 Eventually, sure. I kind of have plans for a larger project to share in the Spacecraft Exchange, and GRUNT-45 will be part of it.

[rmills963]

is there going to be a way to fly into the sun eventually? so you don't just orbit through it. and i kinda wanna see a fiery death of all my kerbels.

[MajorJonesy]

Are they intending to add the whole of the solar system do you know?

[TheWinterOwl]

@MajorJonesy They are planning to add an entire solar system, yes, but not exactly like ours. Many secrets and surprises to discover out there.

[Henoik]

I have a challenge for you: Make a rocket (NOT SPACEPLANE - You may use RCS/SAS/Limited use of moveable winglets), fly beyond Mun, then turn back to earth (Using Mun's gravity as a slingshot), make a re-entry, then land successfully (With no gear, only parachute) either in water, or at land (As close you come to the launching pad)..

I really hope that you test out (and record) my challenge..

Thanks in advance,

Henoik

[MarkoDash]

@Henoik that's kinda what everybody else has already done.

[Henoik]

@MarkoDash Haha :-)

[Nooblet68]

So. Did the mission succeed or fail?

Or are you just going to let us wait..?

[MedicineCowz]

Music?

[TheXurol]

Yup.

Mun.

We can do it.

Totally.

:)

[SpootKnight]

This is the part where we're sitting at the edge of our chairs, faces mere inches to the screen nervously biting our lips, thinking "Oh god, what happens next, do they make it? Will they make it?"

[jdworkin]

By the way, Phobos-Grunt is not a failed NASA mission, but a failed Russian mission to the martian moon Phobos to collect soil (Grunt in Russian) and return it to Earth.

[TokenWhiteGuyAGR]

@jdworkin I was just about to say the Phobos-Grunt was Russian. Thanks for clearing that up. ;)

[dnch]

the waiting for next episode is killing me

[navyrayne]

I know you'd do it!

[TheRealAskic]

I really hope you don't crash...

[Nooblet68]

Loved the clip with GRUNT. That is one seriously epic plane.

[Callan1296]

Its easy to land on the mun with a VTOL Space Plane much easier than a rocket.

[rsfan135]

well done on the reusable launch vehicle, i must say though killing all that momentum with just rcs(even if it is the stronger version) will be quite the challenge.

i can say ive landed 4-5 time on the moon intact, i have yet to get back though with my rcs fueled lander.

(bad joke transfer)

I landed on the mun once, then i took a mun rock to the landing gear.

[Airclot]

Damn that cliffhanger! I am now emotionally invested in this Mun landing program. Cannot wait to see your shiny spaceplane sitting nice and pretty on the Mun,

[jmjawors]

The Mars probe you were talking about is called Phobos-Grunt. It was a Russian spacecraft that never made it out of Earth's orbit (and will be crashing any day now). The word "Grunt," in this case, means "soil." It was to return a sample from the surface of Mars' moon Phobos.

[Kommradable]

You are the best player of this game I've ever seen! That shot of grunt was pretty nice of you, you need way more viewers

To the guy below me, those are pontoons (that water landing about killed me)

[HBFBajaRacer]

What are the green pods on the bottom of GRUNT?

[thehildabeast1]

i have a bad feeling after all this he will hit the moon and explode

[desolatetree]

Dang it, nice cliffhanger! Can't wait to see more!

[bindigb]

cool



[MyNameIsNotPa]

You are a master at this, it's quite fun to watch such a success.

[PSFstudios]

second i guess...

[speediofreakio]

oooh, waiting impatiently for the video to finish processing ^^
