Let's Play Kerbal Space Program #05 - All About The Thrust

[bananaman2157]

do you have to buy this?

[broadsword1999]

@bananaman2157 He has the game already but he won't be getting updates

cuz he has the free version right now the free version is 1.3

The people that buy the game have access to the updates

[samsonguy10k]

It's not drag that changed the apparent entry, it was the rotation of Kerbin.

[R3volutionLP]

13:30 alittle bit wobbly or a little bit snoring? xD

[MrDiablo5222]

he sounds like captain sparkles when he laughs

[Owner2105]

10.5 G's.

Upper human limit?

No no no Kurt, Most fighter pilots pass out at 7-8 G's.

If they were human they would be dead.

[ILGAR93]

@Owner2105

athmospheric reentry causes over 10g in earth as well. the spacecrafts have in them inertia dampening devices that work in a similar principle to the G generators in earth, but work in opposite directions.

[someone2Utoo]

@Owner2105 actually, with a G-suit a average fighter pilot would pass out at about 9.5 Gs. just pass out. they dont get squished. the blood just cant get pumped in to the brain a couple of secs in 10.5 g would just result in passing out.

[Shuttheheckup735]

Oh, and start ASAS, and SAS on the ground, Trust me, The lift off is by far the bumpiest part.

[Shuttheheckup735]

To re-enter, the best time to do a retro-burn is at the... Apofosuz or what ever the hell that ancient Greek word is :/

[Gusta10069]

@Shuttheheckup735 yeah.

[SteevyTable]

As far as Gee's go, I've pulled 70ish before. Jeb was smiling all the way.

[Powerskunk2]

WE'll BE STRANDED FOR DAYS!!! :D

[NoGreifersAllowed]

Playing minecraft in klingon!

[Jourei91]

I just got my kerbals to orbit around the sun... D:>

[kebubas]

the orbit is not weird - orbits gave to be in ellipse because only that way will your ship stay in orbit, otherwise it would require fuel to stay in orbit instead of using natural gravity force to propel and attract you

[SaturnestLP]

@kebubas I'm sure kurt understands orbital mechanics enough to know that. I think he was talking about how his orbital pattern was "weird" because it was so stretched out, not because it was an ellipse.

[4everblacknite]

you can pop your chute at any time it doesnt matter

[kebubas]

@4everblacknite but best to do that like 1 km from land, still effective and doesn't take that long to land

[ThisIsCarsonian]

@mouse, that would take an outrageous amount of fuel. It is better to use gravity.

[kargaroc386]

You can land on the Mun with the vanilla stuff that it gives you

[exodus9001]

That part around 9:45 gave me an idea for a question.

Why is it that you can see the moon in the daytime sometimes? o- o

[sandcat20000]

@exodus9001 because its in a position in which the sun shines on it

[OoBrosephStalinoO]

@exodus9001 You can see the moon during the day in real life too, because the moon soil is reflective. So theoretically we have "Two Suns."

[icannotfly]

@exodus9001 same reason you can see trees and cars and people during the daytime: you're not blind and there's nothing blocking your view.

[TheAnonymouse123e]

Well, couldn't you effectively break ou of orbit by facing the oppodite way you are traveling and effectively reducing all your momentum in that direction so that inertia can't keep you in an orbit and gravity just pulls you in?

[Joshman1306]

Kurt, when you launch press d to tilt towards the east and this will hopefully be in line with the moon's orbit. Be sure not to launch to the west if you want to get to space efficiently due to Kerbin's rotation.

[Tankbustabro]

What video file type do you use?

[123arianagrandefan]

when you want to go to the moon, burn when the moon is rising at an altitude of 100,000 metres, until your orbit goes a bit over the moons orbit. you will meet be drawn in by the moons gravity.

[EnDSchultz1]

Kurt, if you want to do it a little more by the numbers (Granted, that's not very important to the Kerbal) then you typically want to jettison the service module facing directly away from the planet with the rocket nozzle facing towards the planet. This way you gain vertical separation from the rest of the craft and mitigate the risk of it flying back and hitting your capsule on re-entry.

[blizrfiz]

Love how Bill and Bob start freaking out after the parachute fails to open :P

[Gregiorp]

I sent my guys to orbit the sun not on purpose mind you...Kurt makes this look easy.

[WatanukiProductions]

I say we take this baby to the moon.

[NCKman09]

That rocket would probably snap in two in real life, but hopefully Kerbal physics will be kind to it!

[yotamshavit]

You can actually change time speeds at , and .

[impulsiveIngenue]

I don't think the game tracks G-forces.... because I managed to get my Kerbals to pull 40+ Gs on reentry once, and they were totally fine with it.

Therefore we can conclude that Kerbals are made of marshmallow.

[GideonWells]

@impulsiveIngenue Yeah, through use of editing the files I had a rocket that was surpassing the speed of light. The Kerbals loved the trip.

[LoupDuQuebec]

@kurtjmac

there is another type of fuel tank that can keep less but is a lot less heavy

[ManManMcWolf123]

Stranded in Kerbal Space Program

[RokushakuboRonin]

No, that is to do with speed,

(which does, granted, have an effect on angle of decent)

but you have the connection backwards.

Anyways, so long as you cut your speed before decent,

(rather than accentuating into it)

then a flat drop won't kill them (get over 9g's)

[Neotails8762]

"Stranded for days"? Surely you mean "Cast Away", Kurt. :P

[Frog2face]

I don't think space has a Far Lands...

[AwesomenessUploader]

So long and thanks for all the fish!

[TheJayjam]

@AwesomenessUploader

The only thing I nevr understood about that qoute was: what did the dolfins eat ifnot fish?

[thecocoabeans1]

man the wolfie 6 V3 is a beast rocket!!

[ArmedFlygon]

ahh such a short episode...good none the less

[OululainenIhiminen]

I tried to fly to the mun, but somehow it's gravity launched me into a solar orbit and I got stuck there.

[OululainenIhiminen]

Did you know you can hide the UI with F2? For the nice screenshots ;)

[Mocha2007andcoco]

KURT!

DONT DEPLOY THE CHUTE UNTIL YOU'RE 1KM! You can break the chute if you deploy too early!

[TheScience818]

i made it to orbit yesterday, and stayed there for 62 days, then deorbited

[OMGHapotato]

I made my first orbit .....but there stuck

[LordvorEdocsil]

damn cliffhanger :-)

[iBotzProductions]

Don't worry about G-Forces or Reentry heat yet. They are not properly implemented yet and do nothing.

[u3210]

oh, and dont worry about the Kerbins, they survived even 27g when I launched them:)

[heyyitstony]

PLEASE DO MORE CAST AWAY

[maxzamoraj]

Kurt, you still have the 250 fuel tank!!!! YOU ARE NOT OUT OF FUEL!!! -.-!!!

[Lanttyrantis]

Just so you know Kurt, the chute always opens at 500 m and you will decelerate on your own all the way down into the 100's of m/ps. So you should only deploy your chute at around 1200-1000 meters. This will eliminate your G-force problem.

[frankrants]

kurt... the master of suspence

[Hybridtheory2007]

Feel like it's been ages since the last Cast Away episode :(

[JmoV84]

Ep 6 NOW!

[Raith017]

ow to me, I lost my kerbals in a SOLAR orbit soon after watching this.

[johnconner123451]

Bet the next vid your doin kurk is to the moon

[u3210]

I just wanted to say, that I thank you so much! I wouldn't have discovered this awesome game, if it weren't for you. So thanks, really!

[TARDISES]

@u3210

Same sentiments here.

[theamier1]

You know how to keeP us in suspence...

[carrot272727]

Kurt pressing f2 makes all the instruments go away so you can take a screenshot. Vote up so he can see this :)

[Mooooshroom]

NOOO Dont stop it there!

[TARDISES]

@martin9172

He does know. He even does so in the video. Try watching it before commenting, (9)

[martin9172]

@TARDISES Fuck.

[Saymite]

Can you please put you Space Ship to download? I cant get in to orbit :(

[SuperPointyHead117]

Kurt never stop plsying kerbal its the best series ever

[kresimircindric]

Finally! I know how Minecraft Cast Away begun... :)

[blizrfiz]

@kresimircindric Kerbal skin for Kurt?

[SepradistPhantom]

The fun thing about the truncated frustrum is that it's self righting - doesn't matter if you enter the atmosphere point first, it will always orient itself so that the heatsheild is pointing downwards.

[TheMmmaaaggg13579]

fliping over

[W0Ndr3y]

About the reentry... You can safly open the parashoot in about 15000 or 10000 you were moving about 2200 m/s when you opened it... let atmosphere drag to slow you down first that will help you to avoid large G forces :)

[CJXXxxUnknown]

lol i tried this game and WOW it is actually more fun than it appears, AND it is a lot harder to get to space than it seems x.X im not there yet! but i am almost halfway off the ground :P lol jk

[TTSSATTSR]

Loving this new mini-series, Kurt. Keep it up, it's a refreshing change.

[dmarksbarber]

D: Cliff hanger at the end

[PrafektRider]

FLoB sometime soon?

[AmShagar490]

Reentry heat was not added to the game yet, so you can go as steep as you want, currently.

[Kaijudomage22]

6:38 - So long.... and thanks for all the fish.

[Dragonfree97]

@Kaijudomage22 Forty-two?

[xHellome118]

You can't burn up in this game!

[SwedenRCnut]

Please use silisko edition? theyre balanced like the stock parts, the difference is that there are more parts!

[Ironfan100]

Go to the moon!

[gamers209]

I hear a lot people saying they fail to orbit kerbin but instead the sun, my question is why are you doing that much of a burn? Most orbital velocities are around 2000 m/s and with the world map orbit is a hell alot easier than back when I first tried.

[StelarCF]

how did you enter orbit view?

[jerrythedutchmapler]

@StelarCF Press M

[Jimabixxx]

@StelarCF M :)

[TheExodd]

trolled us all at the end. :D

[ImCptCrunch]

Love this series kurt

[Regyska]

So this is how you ended up spawning on an island in the middle of the minecraft vast ocean.

[robot797]

motre please

[johnconner123451]

I've been playing this since your first video and I git to moon 400meters to land and I hit wring button and flew out of control new crater on moon guted

[TheLazySlayer]

Nooooo! I wanted to see blast off :O

[Tankbustabro]

I just tried to upload a video... took 7 hours and failed.

[DeusEversor]

hey listen, we are going to watch your vids anyway, you dont need to make those TAT endings!

[Basskay]

I like how when the capsule lands safely is the only time Jebediah stops smiling like a psychopath.

[LonMcGregor]

@Basskay sorry to ruin your fun, but psychopath means can't show emotion so, technically he's not smiling. he's just a bit... er.

[danm36]

@LonMcGregor Psychotic?

[kederaji]

@LonMcGregor No, psychopaths don't feel it, so they fake it. Thus the psychopath grin.

[Basskay]

@LonMcGregor Wouldn't that be a sociopath (Could very well be wrong here, and I probably am, I'm just vaguely remembering my high school psychology class)?

[TARDISES]

@Basskay

He can get scared like the others. Basically, when he gets scared you know they're screwed.

[kurtjmac]

@Basskay I'd be pretty bummed if I had to return from an amazing visit to space too. Jebediah and I have a lot in common!

[SeptaCrafters]

@kurtjmac So, you're psychopathic?

That worries me.

[XeonX369]

@SeptaCrafters Kurt said "...a lot in common!", not "... everything in common!". Therefore, he does not imply that he is psychopathic.

[XenophMCtwo]

@kurtjmac Kurt we need more episodes. The suspense is killing me !

[MrZombieBiscuit]

@kurtjmac You should read Jebediah's biography on the KSP wiki, Kurt!

[snowbloxia]

@kurtjmac BANNANA!!!!!!!

[mrhunam]

These are coming so fast! D'oh, poor choice of words.

[DeusEversor]

there is a problem... you will land in the teritorial waters of untied socialist sovieto kerbals and they dont need your tech, they already been to the moon

[MrHaloxp3]

why is it bad to "lawn dart" your way back in?

[Zatinie]

Slay the moon, Kurt! It has sinned!

[Ekra18]

Click "Like", post comment.

Now ready to watch the video ^_^

[SourGeckos]

FLoB or bust

[enginowich]

Kurt, make sure to activate your S.A.S.-System before you launch your rocket. A single second really makes a lot of difference.

[kukenjitsu]

kurt, you should do a little more flob. it should be a 2:1 or 3:2 ratio of flob to other stuff because flob is your main thing.

[DontPhearThisReaper]

the maximum altitude you can open your chute is like 20000 or so, and the minimum to survival is like 400

[Callan1296]

You wont burn up you could go as steep as you want and nothing would happen if have a parashoot

[TheRealScaraban]

@Callan1296 The g-forces would kill the kerbals.

[JShann04]

@Callan1296 You are right for the game as it is now, but it currently lacks 2 important reentry variables, what force actually kills the Kerbans and the heat generated from friction caused by going through the atmosphere at those speeds. This would happen before the 20km, where KSP allows you to deploy the shoot.

[HolyMudkip]

Kurt, adding you on Steam, Are we allowed to? I wanna be e-famous. :3

[Strideo1]

More Kerbal Space Program! Yes! :D

[DaScapeShow]

Started to be a bit saddening with the lack of far lands or bust :(..

[Lexrockstheblock]

hey guise, you're supposed to deploy the parachute at a kilometer

[MrFoxxy500]

That's what she said!

[TheShaolinDoctor]

This reminds me of every time I'm on the NASA channel. Pretty much silent with a guy talking looking at something in space lol.

[Watson690]

MORE KURT!!!!

[Madoushi90]

13:50 Troll Successful

[acomputer121]

You can de-orbit with the RCS. I have done it.

[goldenpinproductions]

dont get negative kurt!i bet you i wouldnt last a second in even the most badass rocket!

[silentclowd]

I'm sorry, but at 13:30, did you snort?

[quit123100]

Nice ending

[GT101boy]

I tried to get into the orbit of kerbin, but I screwed up and it sling shot me into the orbit of the sun...

[iamthezach]

lol lawndarts

[iamthezach]

theres a fast forward button below the time display

[iamthezach]

@iamthezach nevermind

[jujumistress]

It's all about the thrust... giggity.

[lunkheroofnuts]

@jujumistress I used so much thrust that instead of getting to the mun I began orbiting with no way to break orbit around the sun with a chance that in the next in game decade they will reenter the athmosphere.

[klaz48]

LETS NOT PLAY KERBAL SPACE PROGRAM ANYMORE!~

[Antisushi1]

:D

[DonnaPinciot]

how much longer untill the next episode of Kerbal Space Program?

[ManicMobius]

Video title - that's what she said

[Alphakiller182]

Looool title

[MegaALLCAPSRAGE]

NO! i saw u disregard my comment, Richard, search #HaleyHasAChance now!!!!

[RokushakuboRonin]

no such thing as too steep, since you know... parachutes

(upvote for truth?)

[silentclowd]

@RokushakuboRonin If it is too steep, the Gs will kill the kermans.

[roosterinorbit]

play lunar rover



[DoctorWhoForYou]

Aww...cliffhangers...

[roosterinorbit]

@DoctorWhoForYou yup



[eidalac]

On the 'map' view, click the arrow at the bottom to bring up the gauges. Then you can burn the engines while you watch the orbital path change.

[MegaALLCAPSRAGE]

#HaleyHasAChance search it now

[Kinkajou1015]

I was expecting the end of this to be GIGIGIGI when I saw that rocket on the pad. :D Glad it wasn't. Now to try and deorbit my pod that is at 197,560 - 197,844 m. It's stable and about as perfect to circular as I'll get.

[darkychao]

play moon base alpha

[doctorseaweed2]

Did you abandon your stranded series?

[TheFartoholic]

@doctorseaweed2 Yes, he replaced it with Cast Away.

[doctorseaweed2]

@TheFartoholic Thats what I meant

[Bus7777]

You should change the title to: "It's all about the thrust! (Ladies?)"

[dadadannn]

i was the 69th viewer

[TheFartoholic]

Funniest fucking title.

[idb79]

only 51 views!

[OrkGold1]

OMFG NO! I need to go to sleep right now, I have church tomorrow! D: but I want to see thiss....

[TyTheRegularMan]

@OrkGold1 I feel the same with temple lol

[Amblydoper]

@OrkGold1 Space is more important than church. I think God would agree with that.

[VideoGamerYoshi]

Late night Kerbal Space Program. Nice :)

[reddemon785]

Feels good to finally watch one of your videos shortly after you upload it. I get too many videos from other subscriptions so it takes me a while to get to yours. Anyway, I love this series!
