I wish Micro-Space had lasted long enough as a RL rocketry company to have parody parts in KSP. They were the only aerospace company (with clients!) sponsored by a Baptist Church and did a bunch of innovative/ridiculously dangerous engineering. One big thing was the use of composites in fuel storage designs - the guy actually had a pretty good sideline launching sounding rockets for weather study using these lightweight systems. He was a true space minimalist, as well. The one time I met him he had an on-orbit personal transporter that MIGHT have been able to get itself + a 70-80KG from the surface of the moon to a pick-up altitude for a space-based version of the old Skyhook program they used in the Christopher Nolan Batman movies. It was, well, imagine this but in real life. Angle aluminum channel was used for the primary structural members, along with other POTS hardware used for joints and connectors. The real worrying bit was the use of medical rubber tubing as a stretch material and shock absorber. He was definitely mad, but his atmospheric rockets flew, so he wasn't incompetent.
Ah, this video makes me think fondly back on Kottabos games' showcases. With KSP's future seemingly only secured by the endless passion of modders, it's kinda great to see a revival in mod-based content for the game! Glad that we still get such S-tier content from the GOAT himself!
For a TV interpretation of all this, check out "Salvage 1" from 1979. The space capsule is a concrete mixer cylinder, and the fuel tank is take from a fuel truck.
i wanna see what a serious attempt at a homemade pressurized capsule would be, even if it requires 32x the oxygen to replace what is lost over the period of the mission
When your space program finally gets funding and you can upgrade from paper planes to cardboard... All of the things sort of make sense and half of them could totally be used for hobbyist rockets. A smartphone as probe core? Sounds a bit like a cubesat that runs in a Raspberry Pi The potato battery? Well, someone managed to run a calculator on potatoes to play Doom.

Yet they spent like 5 billion for a rtg that doesn't even make 1kw Why rtg sucks in most games they give NASA prices without the NASA $ You can get like a 20kw rtg for your house for a few million 😂
I'm sure at some point they'd planned to make a set like this to be the only things available in the first few nodes but then decided to get more serious when the game was picked up by a bunch of space nerds
I was certain (absolutely positive) that this video I've been seeing on my home page was another case of UA-cam bringing back long-watched videos from years ago.

I couldn't explain this for the life of me.
I love this mod. All of my kerbalcraft have Lava Lamps in the science bay! The smaller radial engines are cans of hair spray with a cigarette lighter duct-taped to the sprayer end. What mod are you using to get the dark mode UI? I like it.
The irony is, some of the "bargain" parts are actually _more expensive_ than their more "high-tech" counterparts. For example, the space box costs *over twice as much* as the Mk1 Command Pod. (600 for the command pod vs >1200 for the box) I honestly think the mod needs a price rework so the prices for the bargain parts are actually lower than their more advanced counterparts. Add: I know that the mod is intended to be a joke, but like, if you're gonna call it the Bargain Rocket Parts mod, you might as well make the parts an actual bargain.

Was anyone else thinking that the sock thing was going to be a very smooth segway into a sponsor spot? Ive never been disappointed by the lack of sponsor segments until today.
As far as the cardboard goes for boats, the front isn’t supposed to fall off and spill crude oil in the sea. No that’s not typical. These are very strong vessels, and the front shouldn’t fall off 😂
They're actually some of the weakest designed boats Because crude oil diesel and gasoline are all buoyant They figure they can sacrifice structural integrity You've never seen one break in half in rough seas?
hey matt! i heavily recommend a mod called "crowd sourced science"! :] instead of the same old science reports, theres multiple for each scenario!! made by the community, of course ;D they're quite funny, and unique :]
Honourable mention to Honest Purple's Land o' Junk, which also provides bargain basement rocket parts in a slightly more realistic way. It also has very funny part descriptions
10:00 Same varying shear stresses (worse, because the tank is kept after the SRBs detach), same angular momentum and tank slosh problems (worse, because the shuttle tank was only on one side), the added complication of the angular movement of the CoM of the vehicle, the same varying temperature and pressure. But since the external tank didn't have an engine, I guess all that was simple, eh? Sorry, I've read the counterarguments, and they don't change the fact that the shuttle engineers already did it decades ago. SpaceX just simply didn't want to repeat the mistake of making a stupidly complicated vehicle and pretending it was cost-effective for decades.
Kekekeke! This is the best silly mod. The ending reminds me of the time Peter Sripol built a cardboard electric boat for real. It lasted longer than I expected, but that's not really saying much at all. :)
"A cardboard box. A cardboard box usually consists of a thin pasteboard with a corrugated paper center. They are usually made of recycled paper. It was first invented in Europe over one hundred years ago. It was originally used to absorb one's sweat when wearing hats. With the same amount of wood to make one wooden box, you can make six or seven cardboard boxes. And since it's recyclable, it's highly economical. In addition, it is strong and easy to store. That is why it is widely used for packing. But to avoid damaging weapons and other delicate instruments when shipping them, they should be packed in stronger boxes, like... wood or something. Also, the crevices should be filled with Styrofoam to prevent them from moving around. ...So anyway, what's with the box?"
