Imagine the developers watching this video in a conference room on a video projector. The video ends, lights come back on. Everyone is silent. Then one of them flips the table and storms out of the room. End scene.
I was the one who suggested that timewarp would decrease the timestep and therefore increase the force on Stratzenblitz video "Engineering a LIGHT-SPEED mass driver". Right now i feel the most smug i have ever felt lol.
I didn't think it would work, but it turns out it works exactly as you predicted. 4x time warp literally multiplies the impulse by 4, which greatly reduces the number of decouplers you need. That said, it still sucks. Instead of an effective ISP of 10 s, you get 40 s, which is still very low.
@@OrangeKnight No, well, yes, congress is made up of retards with double citizenships, but NASA is not innocent either. If private companies like Space X can achieve more in less than a decade with less budget, then NASA has no excuses. Billions invested on long range satelites (which I don't complain about) instead of developement of a manned mission to...anywhere. Add to that a general lack of main objective and you have NASA. The SLS has no reason to exist if space X manage to build their heavy variant with similar payload and being beyond less expensive.
@@virgilio6349 it's true that nasa invests a ton of money into science and spacex is only focusing on infrastructure. Spacex also have a ton of money thanks to the falcon 9 and now thanks to crew dragon
I'm trying to minimize my use of exploits when I can. Obviously, the lithobraking and decoupler physics are exploits, but I did not use any aero exploits for this mission. If I were using say the heat sheild offsetting trick, I wouldn't need 2 stages to get to Minmus: I could reach escape velocity from the launchpad without overheating. Also, didn't use part clipping for once!
Stratz: Precisely lands a scarcely guided artillery shell on the smallest and most distant moon of Kerbin Also Stratz: 6:55 Awesome video, and really well edited with some gorgeous shots!
i just want you to know that your videos of badassery and feats of amazingness within this game motivated me to keep trying ever more risky things in this game. i was hesitant to try launching a rover to Duna or to set up a space station in orbit around Kerbin but seeing your videos with you sending a low-kerbol orbit artificial gravity station out to orbit the sun and then you sending a HELICARRIER TO LAYTHE helped motivate me to try, and by trying i managed to do it, and now i've got even more ambitious ideas. thank you for being such an absolute god at this game and for motivating me to try and do cooler things
but why ? I laugh so hard each time, but why such stupidly complicated challenges ? and how do you manage to complete them each time ? dang, I wish I was that good too...
Ridiculous part count. Low fps in first stage. Physical time-warp. Decoupler ascend and orbital maneuver. Flag lithobreaking. Mun gravity assist. You may not like it but this is what peak Kerbal performance looks like.
What Visual mods are you using? Also I really appreciate your great additions to the Ksp community with your wacky machines and downright chaotic contraptions.
I got a challenge. I been trying to hit lightspeed is ksp. I been using cheats and waiting but so far after an hour on 4 times speed full throttle I only got to about 1%. Do you recon you can give it ago. No one on youtube have recoded them selfs doing this. See if you can get a kerbal to light speed
the new flag parts are OP. I've used them as wings due to the lift they create, and they have infinite heat tolerance. Might want to try them out. Even used them as a heatshield.
Dude, i just wanted to say watching your videos during online calc gives me life. Also your videos are so amazingly paced that i can watch it in 2x speed and nothing feels off, like the timing wasn't right because it was 2x speed
1) What was the maximum G-force endured? 2 (this is meme)) You cheated by using Vals jetpack to get back on the craft. I was told only decouplers, not decouplers + jetpack
lithobraking? well crap. im still sitting over here having a hard time with accurate aerobraking..... i can do everything else just fine, but being accurate with aerobraking is something i have a hard time with, still, after all these years of playing the game

No it doesn't use the heatshilds with high lift to drag ratio.

Next week in Stratzenblitz75:
JOOL 5 WITH DECOPLERS ONLY
Meanwhile, I can't even attach decouplers the right way around.
Doesn't matter as long as they separated the two crafts.
@@anunayy Does matter when the decoupler stays attached to you and blocks a docking port or just lowers your delta-V too much.
Stratzenblitz : “-and more a piece of heavy artillery.”
Val : So this is, uh, safe right? R-right?

_Val gets turned into kerbal mush by the tens of thousands of g's of acceleration_
"Drain valves to orbit"

You... You used a airlock as a command pod?
Look, budget cuts haven't been nice to the space program.

WARNING AVENGERS LEVEL THREAT INCOMING:
So how bout ya land on tylo with only decouplers huh?
Anyone else like really creeped out and idk how to describe it other than just off by the music he played when he landed on mommy’s?
I tried getting to orbit with decouplers once. Turns out the ring decouplers don't really behave the same way as the radial decouplers.
KSP developers when they see this vid: No NO! Thats now how you're supposed to play the game !!(while crying and screaming in insanity)
holy shit man, what mods are you running? your games visuals are absolutely stunning.
Huh? He's running mods? I think it's vanilla.
@@shlok975 no, there is definitely some sort of visual overhaul mods. not what the stock game looks like

Do you recon you can give it ago. No one on youtube have recoded them selfs doing this. See if you can get a kerbal to light speed

"Hey viewers, today I'm going to try something new. I'm going to walk to the sun!"
-Stratz probably
What appearance mods are you using? I'd like to download them
Idea for a video:
Try going to orbit using only shockwaves
(In ksp when a part explodes it pushes nearby parts away from the explosion)
I like to think your talking about your blueprints to NASA while doing this, and for our sake you just Thanos snap a rocket that does what you say.
Jool inner 3 with decouplers?(also Eve decouplers only could be a challenge... or the solution to all eve rocket problems!)
Litho-breaking is a very funny concept. "What are we going to use to slow our descent?" "Rocks."
SMH can’t even get him back to the space launch site with the decouplers? Weakkkkkk.
(Please note this is sarcasm this is dope as hell)
The ending landing is just rude
Eve landing and back! No Fuel! only Decouplers! and maybe some wings and parachutes
Is it possible to fly straight to the moon and back in KSP? without orbiting around the Earth/Kerbit?
3:50 advanced lithobraking
If my calculations are correct, that launch was 10,178.4 gees. Valentina is paste.
Stratzenblitz75:giant piece of artillery
