This video is intended for audiences 13+ years old.
No craft file provided, as the build is much slower than usual such that you can easily follow-along. I always encourage people to try and build stuff for themselves so that they can "enhance their own skillz" ;) - Ігри
You should call the Project "Racing the Space Race"
Heck yeah
Yea
Yup
oh, great name
Race space race
From now, this is my favorite series of KSP
Mine too!
Mine three!
me too!
Now this is a certified space moment

Yes.
I would have liked to see a recreation of Neil Armstrong's Gemini 8. When one of the thrusters was stuck on and the spacecrafts went into a uncontrolled roll.
Exactly!
No he was one upping nasa without bugs
Gemini 10: Michael Collins did 2 space walks, and was the first human to do so.
The first human to do it was a cosmonaut named Aleksei A. Leonov in March of 1965, the first American was Ed White in Gemini 4 the following june.

You should have used the agena to boost your orbit! Gemini 11 did this and holds a orbit record that stands today. Gemini 11 wasn’t the only mission to use the agena engine but it’s the only one that go that high. Love the videos!
This! Thank you for saying that
You beat me to it lol. I was even waiting for him to do a boost while they were docked, too. I'd thought it was done on 12, but that was solely from memory. Glad you had the real facts haha.
everyone: wen hop
me: when sovietic crafts
Tbh I can't wait to see you do a Skylab recreation
Skylab and Salyut/Almaz are such interesting points in space history imo
I think you should try to do the flying Gemini capsule, where they thought they could turn Gemini into a paramotor craft and land it. That would be interesting if you could work that out.
I was just thinking he should do the rogallo wing!
Tricky to do! But I think it'd possible using a kerbal parachute 🤔
@@MattLowne I think Scott Manley did it.
@@MattLowne and as a big fan of Gemini, I was really mad to find out they made the Gemini service module the same width as the fuel tanks and without a taper.
@@jakemckee1923 tbf having it tapered would have meant having to have another set of tanks and parts of that diameter in addition to the new 1.85m size, so I understand why they did it.
As a space history super-buff (self-named)
I approve and love what you're doing Matt please many many more
I’m not quite sure whether your name is related to space history 😆
Gonorrhea is space-borne
I can't wait to see in the future: "Ksp 2: Recreating the whole Artemis program speedrun"
Congratulations on being featured on the ksp2 showcase!
That caught me off guard and I didn't realize it was his until the kraken ate it 😂
Hey, Can you also do modern projects like SLS and alternate history projects like the soviet moon rocket the n1.
Ya,That would be nice
He's done both, N1 twice.
title of the series should be "Matt Lowne's Race into Space" in honour to our forgotten DOS game, "Buzz Aldrin's Race into Space".
yes
What’s the next program? I’m personally exited for Soyuz
Same
Im hyped for Appollo lol
Vostok first
@@stadtrepublikmulhausen4121 that was a good one too
@@stadtrepublikmulhausen4121 Vostok? or Voskhod first?cause I thought Vostok came after Voskhod
I love this series! Definitely want to see you recover all the debris left scattered around the Kerbin system.
I know I am late but this video actually means a lot to me. My grandfather was actually one of the NASA computer programmers who actually worked on the Gemini missions (as well as the later Mercury missions)
Fun fact: Waterfall has effects for the rcs thrusters! Matt left the old models for the 4 and 5 way thrusters on the stock crafts so that’s why they didn’t show up
Been waiting for this episode
What a good moment to watch Matt KSP video In Raining day
5:00 "And I don't mean to inflate my own gazebo here"... Thank you Matt. I don't think any of us want to see that. :)
"Not to twang my own banjo but..."
@@rbxless There is, of course, no way you could know that I actually play the banjo. I'm not sure if I'm enjoying the joke or if I'm being the joke. Oh wait, that's right, I'm a banjo player... :)

While not a scheduled test, the Gemini 8 accident was a huge test of pilot control systems and could be considered a post-hoc mission objective (training on how to correct an out of control spin is now standard astronaut training based on the lessons learned from Gemini 8). Perhaps you could do a separate series connected to this one which recreates accidents (Gemini 8, Appollo 13, Challenger, Columbia, etc.)?
Also, are you planning to make a skylab?
They trained for out of control spins in Mercury with the big spinny chair, I believe.
@@tvre0 The big spinny chair was to test astronauts for disorientation, but it wasn't a simulator during during mercury and gemini, iirc. They do use it for that now though. In the early days they had to do math calculations and flip switches and do other complex tasks in the spinny chair, but they had no control over the actual chair. The original Mercury prototype didn't even have any pilot controls at all, as the engineers thought of astronauts as merely the passengers in their engineering marvel. it was the first 7 that insisted on the ability to pilot the craft directly (if they hadn't, Armstrong and Scott would likely have been killed in Gemini 8, as would Lovell, Haise, and Swigert on Apollo 13).
You forgot using the Agena to boost the Gemini to a higher orbit and/or using the Agena to go to a higher orbit, then using it to go to a lower orbit rendezvousing with another Agena.
It's just me nitpicking though, this was highly entertaining indeed!
amazing video matt having a catch not watched for a while due to being busy ive missed the videos
NASA engineers hate him:
Matt... This is awesome keep up the good work!
Yes he is my favorite
I’ve watched every video in this series, I even watched the Soviet space program. I’m on mobile and I’ve been playing spaceflight simulator. And I’ve took inspiration from each video and made it in sfs!
5:20 Matt, there’s an anime called Planetes, which is about Orbital Debris collection in the near future. I dunno how much you know about anime, but Planetes is actually very scientifically accurate on how spaceships works, how debris are very dangerous, and there are bits of details that makes the viewer appreciate how the director understands the soundless beauty of vacuum.
There’s is a ship in the show called DS-12 “Toybox”, it’s debris collection ship that have little rugs inside to capture large debris, bring it back to the space station or have have it de-orbited.
Maybe do something like that?
every vids of matt lowne is Very EXCITING!!!
I look forward to these every week, thanks Matt! Perhaps you could have raised your orbit with the Agena and then spiraled out of control a la Gemini VIII. Always room for improvement. JK. JK. Nice work.
Project gemini has always been my favourite, the look of the space craft was cool it often doesn't get mentioned unlike apollo, or mercury but it made some great achievements like the first american space walk in gemini 4 and the first docking of two spacecraft together in gemini 8
It is interesting to me because it is almost like a bridge between Mercury and Apollo. It also paved the way for all space stations as it he,led us learn to dock and spacewalk.

How do you get those emojis?

You should try to recreate the venera 9 mission its a probe mission but almost noone knows about it and it deserves more attention
The only Venera I've heard of is a resturaunt on Venus: Venera Bread
The entire Venera program is probably the most famous and well-known Venus program lol. It would be fun to recreate but I'm not sure how interesting it would be for a video, given that it's a robotic craft and there's no return mission
@@MattLowne Do you have planet shine mod installed?
7:35
matt: allowing me to one up those noobs at NASA
NASA: WHY U BULLY ME
Was pleasure flying with Lowne aerospace.
Matt, when you'll get into RO+RSS+RP1 and show the real recreations or use it in other series of yours?
Cheers!
3:58 the space music at that altitude tripped me up
Damn dude, you make this look too easy.
8:25 The AJ-10 could be ignited nearly indefinitely. It was used in its various versions on a variety of spacecraft and upper stages, including the Apollo Service Module the Titan Transtage, and the Delta II upper stage.
All it needed to light was the propellant lines to open, due to using hypergolic propellants. I believe this indefinite property was true for the Apollo Service Module. Transtage limited it to 3 ignitions. I think Delta II upper stage only did one burn, due to being a lunch stage and not an orbital maneuvering stage.
To simulate Gemini 8, take a laptop to a fast carousel and, while spinning IRL, spin the capsule in KSP. Then stabilise it, without the use of SAS, and in cocpit view.
I love this series!
missed the crazy spinning that neil armstrong did
Rip rocket lab “Running Out Of Toes”
Rip

I've seen a Titan II in person, and you're correct about it being taller.
And you managed to do it without spinning out of control due to a malfunctioning RCS thruster!
Seriously though, the Gemini series is seriously underappreciated. It was in Gemini that we really learned the functional basics of how to operate in space.
Also, after resisting my whole life, I've finally come around to pronouncing it "Gimunee." I figure that if it was good enough for NASA and Walter Cronkite then it's good enough for me.
Great Series Already
Notification pogger. this is a always good way to start the weekend
Yeah! Finally the splendid Gemini program!
may i ask what skybox youre using? I love your videos and i hope you will keep uploading, perhaps you could inspect some mods like USI/MKS and its life support features... Keep it up!
The large flight info was 👌🏻
15:05 Ah, so it is Gemini VII.
Gemini VII stayed in orbit for just short of 14 days. I believe just a few days before it was de-orbited, Gemini VIA was sent up for the rendezvous. But, originally, VIA was supposed to go up first (as just VI), then VII would go up, rendezvous, and then stay up for the endurance test. But, launch trouble with VI resulted in a different schedule.
ok now this is the earliest i have ever been. 1 minute ago? holy!
I great video, what mod did you use for the engine exhausts visual?
Now this is a certified moment
Gemini Seven sounds hellish. You would absolutely have to pick two astronauts who liked each other for that, or at the very least, two who could tolerate each other.
It's look super good my guy 😁
I can’t wait for the apollo program part
please continue this and next do shuttle!
FYI kerbin at 2.7x scale is just right to still use stock parts and makes the single burn to orbit just something you do most of the time following an efficient gravity turn. It adds about 2000 Dv to your accent. The other planets will depend on witch planet pack you go with.
Just waiting for this
You make very good models!
There have been a couple historical missions to destroy/retrieve space debris. It would be pretty cool if you were to "one-up" them by getting it all in one launch while still showcasing what the original did
Another video from our amazing British Rocket Scientist! Maybe you could try and colonize Minmus.
16:02 You usd a fuel cell in your video about the mission Acapello 13. The video is titled "A Mun mission where absolutely nothing goes wrong".
The highlight of the weekend
Can't wait to see Matt speedrun Starship prototypes lol
Cant wait for Apollo!
Will you do a Gemini 11 where they used the Agena Target Vehicle to boost the capsule into an even higher orbit? That would be fun to see!
Have a lovely day everyone!
i'm waiting for apollo program speedrun ;)
Amazing
You realy deserve 1 mil
Nasa be like - Give his address We are hiring him right now 🤣🤣
if you can recall you you made a space station with all the gizmos gravity wheels and all that science stuff? is it possible to make a mothership by building it in stages and then attach them in space. After which you could utilise docking for boarding and then pilot the mothership like an SSTO. Have it refuel in space every so often. For it to travel the local and further systems. If so could you make multiple rovers to collect samples and then have them jettison back to the mothership and collate data?
Are you going to do the space shuttle after the apollo video?
Matt, did you see they used some of your footage from the Moonship video in a KSP2 video?
This is nice
If I recall correctly one of their objectives was spinning the Gemini Agena together to create some gravity. Well, instead they managed to spin Gemini around its main axis instead and have the astronauts nearly pass out and die. Luckily Neil Armstrong had a Jeb moment and saved the day.
Will you including the explosions and disaster recovery when it comes to Apollo 13?
Some of the Bell 8000 series engines (like those used on Agena) could be ignited practically an infinite number of times.
"So maybe at the end of this series I'll do a big deep space cleanup"
Well that aged like milk
There is one thing. On Gemini 10, the Agena was used to boost the Gemini-Agena combination to a higher orbit.
dang, 10 minutes after i went to sleep after being up in the middle of the night, i missed a matt lowne upload. feelsbadman
I used a tapered fuel tank to 2 vector engines at the bottom for a cooler and more accurate looking titan II for my Martian Gemini mission
I actually tried to build a stock N1 rocket but it didn't have enough fuel to get to the mun and back.
So Matt, next year there's only one way to top this. Do it in again but in Realism Overhaul...
You forgot the part where the Agena docking nearly killed the astronauts as the Gemini capsule started spinning uncontrollably
Great lowne
Matt throughout this video: nasa has ppl who has skill issues and I will be ez on them becuz am pro
@Matt Lowne you can download this mod called FASA and make sure you download the dependency RapMasterProp. It able to give you parts for like NASA SATERN V
He said in a previous video that he is using stock parts only
Huh, I didn't realize how little I knew about the Gemini program
Its kinda the black sheep of the historical space capsules. I think the mercury was much more known.
Hello I love ur content keep it up
“At the end of the day this series is not only about me showcasing you know very famous historic space flights, but also allowing me to one up the noooobs at NASA and showcasing my superior ability’s as a rocket scientist“ Matt Lowne 2k21. What do you mean he doesn’t brag a lot…
very epic
LESS GOOOOOOOOO1!!!!!1!!11 PART 2 BABY!!!!11!
Loving this. Looking forward to seeing the Russian half of the race... :-)
Can you do a Video about all your mods that would be great!
Mat what is that visual mod for the engines
Best UA-camr no better so good
what mods does Matt use in this video for the the engines.
