A wonderful mission, but if Valentine really wanted to Impress Bill, she would have lithobraked close enough to the KSC to get Bill the Aerobraking Fried Potatoes before they got cold.
If ever they add supplies to the game, there absolutely needs to be a potato item which increases in value when attached to the outside off your spacecraft and heated.
Not completely still, he's constantly turning his head and always has a smile on his face. Also somethimes he has to get out of the chair to push spacecrafts around.
1. Surely bill would bake a potato with the help of a rocket engine, I can't imagine him having the patience for an oven 2. When the moon disappeared I was sure you'd been cursed by some terrible new KSP2 bug :P 3. Almost a shame you did this after they added atmospheric heating, but I suppose the mass of the heat shields were relatively negligible next to the rocket (I'm used to your final stages being much smaller thanks to our friend Tsiolkovsky, but I'm sure the voiceover will discuss)
As i understand this to be an Odessey by Bill episode, i must assume Bill's adventure here was baking the potato while Valentina's mission is a mere side plot.
this is brilliant, glad to see you back, bud! I don't have much hope for KSP2, but I still hold out that creators such as yourself turn it into something impressive.
During Jeb's most recent stay on the Mun he bought Valentina a rocket engine stamp from the gift shop so she could save time when designing rockets. The finance department was horrified with how much $2.39 could truly cost them.
Would the kerbin ascent be faster using a pile of decouplers? You could get a trajectory that intercepts the Mun, and travel at maximum speed before using more decouplers to slow down. The same process applies for the Mun return. There may be many problems with this (especially high part count), but it has the potential to be very fast.
God I can only imagine how glorious a “1 ton to Gurdama” video would have been. Hopefully the game gets fixed and finished somehow but I honestly doubt it. I hope the KSP modding community reverse engineers KSP 2 by creating a mod pack for KSP 1.
my internet search after this video. Tardigrades have been subjected to acceleration forces of up to 6,000 g (about 59,000 m/s^2) in laboratory experiments and have survived. Ok Valentina, you are good. 😆 edit: One of the tested tardigrades, a species with the name Hypsibius dujardini, can withstand acceleration forces of 16,000 Gs, or 16,000 times normal Earth gravity
"Odds of survival are left as an exercise for the viewer" is an absolute classic. By the way, did you have just around 0.5 km to play around at such a great height? I am sure Valentina was ok with this completely reasonable level of risk.
So I see, the 6km-ish coasting toward the mun isn't because it's too much work to add additional, fuel, engines and requisite launcher mass to make this faster. The coasting is to give the jetissoned boosters enough time to clear the ship so they don't collide during the retro burn.
I love how even the last stage with the single engine just designed to get the craft going even faster towards Kerbin still weighs more than the entire Eve mission
This series keeps getting better with every video! Just binged the entire series just to catch up with this one, and I can confidently say this my new favorite channel!
Question: why is Bradley using manual fuel transfer for asparagus staging? It seems to be less convenient than using fuel lines. Although I guess even fuel lines on the nuclear stage will significantly increase part count. I am just so used to asparagus staging with fuel lines, it's so convenient. If only KSP 2 properly calculated dV for asparagus stages...
This is reminding me of the olden days. Not necessarily because of anything particular happening in this episode, but because ksp2 has the same god awful performance as early KSP
Definitely an insane video, but I like to think it gives us a glimpse of what spaceships in science fiction have to go through to reach their destinations
I know you said you'd do a voice over soon but in case you aren't planning on covering the question, why did you use fuel lines? It would have achieved the same effect without the undoubtably tedious fuel transfer. It made sense in the low mass mission as it's objectively optional and would add weight, but in this mission it makes less sense. Were the delta v costs really enough to warrant the inconvenience?
Yeah! Low-time mission! :) Looks like those rover wheels work well in KSP2, possibly better than they do in KSP1. Wait, what... "Viewers of this video are contractually obligated not to ask how the KSP got this rocket the rest of the way from the dock to the runway" is shown over a fine sea launch. Only after that launch seems to do rather well does the scene change to a very hard to see runway. It's not wrong, it's just the kind of edit which messes with one's head. Manual aspargus staging. I am officially impressed now! ;) (I was impressed by the structural engineering already.) Eclipse! I thought it looked good for a LoD-culling bug. XD I built another KAL-overclocked spaceplane today. It pulls to the right for no reason I can see. After a moment of annoyed consideration, I decided to keep it like that because it's so useful when SAS won't hold steady but will hold target or another orientation. Set SAS, light engines, roll so the right side is in the direction you want to make an adjustment. 44 minutes and 40 seconds! Bravo! Even with KAL-overclocking, I think only my leanest overclocked probes could beat that.

Aero baked potatoes
If ever they add supplies to the game, there absolutely needs to be a potato item which increases in value when attached to the outside off your spacecraft and heated.
Bill's missions: sitting very still in a chair for decades at a time
Valentina's missions: MOAR POOOOOWEERRRRRRR
Not completely still, he's constantly turning his head and always has a smile on his face. Also somethimes he has to get out of the chair to push spacecrafts around.
Valentina casually goes to the Mun and back in the time it takes me to drive to work.
oh my god when this series started I had never heard of ksp and now I'm doing a degree in space engineering! So happy its still going :)
Same lol

Bill has the patience for centuries spent zigzagging through flybies, so..
“How was work?”
“It was fine, what did you do today?”
“I went to the moon in the same time you drove to work”
“What”
Could you try to go mun in ksp 2 only srb engines
THE ODYSSEY RETURNS!
*Valentina’s re-entry pod was not sponsored by the Kerbals’ favorite video game “Hell Plungers 2”
As i understand this to be an Odessey by Bill episode, i must assume Bill's adventure here was baking the potato while Valentina's mission is a mere side plot.
Yes, we missed your voice Bradley 😁
Bill needs to go to the nonexistent dwarf-planet Dres to get some intangible ice and refill the pool with imitation water.
Good gravy! You must have bankrupted Kerbin with that monstrosity!
😱
this is brilliant, glad to see you back, bud! I don't have much hope for KSP2, but I still hold out that creators such as yourself turn it into something impressive.
Thanks for "The Odyssey by Bill". Very satisfying format
You’re one of the KSP OGs, thanks for the good content

IT RETURNED
The return of a legend
12:40 I think you meant indomitable
Sad day :( i will never get to experience Bardley visit another star system in KSP2.
God I can only imagine how glorious a “1 ton to Gurdama” video would have been.

What do you mean circularizarisation burn? Its right there you can just go there.
Shouldn’t this be 37?
Finally
A triumph!
Shouldn't this be the Odyssey by Not Bill...? just in keeping with the traditions of old.
Yea :( I get it’s a new game but why’s it have to be so different…
YOOOOOOO
Didn't land at the KSC, literally unwatchable
You see this shit NASA and SpaceX? It's not that hard get on with it.
Bill complains that he would have still would have won the race had the KSC not prevented him from placing the potato underneath the launch pad
I like how there's calm music meanwhile the rocket is experiencing up to 20 Gs
The music intensifies for the 800g part though.
@@j100jyeah that's a bit uncomfortable
Still waiting for a sequel to the river race
That's a great idea. Need to make sure there is flight controller support first, a lot of us will want to use that
@@BradleyWhistance Or make the river race still in KSP1.
KSP1 is still alive Bradley, don't forget us
Agreed. KSP1 would probably be best. Except for pod buoyancy, KSP2 has no water interactions for parts :(
And this, dear children, is what we refer to as a "madlad".
Bravo, Bradley!
Holy crap it's been seemingly forever
"Odds of survival are left as an exercise for the viewer" Calculus and other math department classes PTSD
0:20 'insufficiently silly' somehow makes me think of that one Monty Python sketch
Oh god manual asparagus staging, that had to have been painful
THE ODYSSEY IS SO BACK 🔥
yippee
That’s a nice Sea Dragon replica (briefly)
"Odds of survival are left as an exercise for the viewer" is an absolute classic. By the way, did you have just around 0.5 km to play around at such a great height? I am sure Valentina was ok with this completely reasonable level of risk.
I was literally just what waching some of your older videos.
I noticed that the odyessy book 18 and 22 are private. What is up with that?
So I see, the 6km-ish coasting toward the mun isn't because it's too much work to add additional, fuel, engines and requisite launcher mass to make this faster. The coasting is to give the jetissoned boosters enough time to clear the ship so they don't collide during the retro burn.
I can’t believe book 37 is out before book 36’s second part
The excersize for the viewer is rather easy, seeing as it’s a Bradley Whistance video.
Alternate title: Valentina becomes a Helldiver
The journey continues!!!!
I love how even the last stage with the single engine just designed to get the craft going even faster towards Kerbin still weighs more than the entire Eve mission

OG series
maybe bill should try an air fryer next time

i still think that ksp 2 bill lore should be called the iliad by bill
tfw the first background piece you chose is sampled in a chinese pop song lol
I didn't even realize eclipses were possible in KSP, let alone darkness occurring so quickly
I love that Brad is making videos again. I'm sure part of it is that I'm a huge nerd, but he's one of my favorite youtubers.
Does ksp 2 run sufficiently well and have the mod support and features to make it worth moving from ksp 1 yet?
7:46 if I’m right that leaves just under 600m of wiggle room for that suicide burn so I’d say it’s a pretty safe bet
HOLY SHIT HAD TO HAVE BEEN LIKE 2018 WHEN I LAST SAW THIS I MISSED THIS
Imagine the science from smacking the moon with over a kiloton of mass at 12km/s with the earthquake sensors in ksp1
Im equally interested and scared for what you will do once fancy engines like the Orion Drive are implemented
Found myself watching your River Races - would you put on another community race in the future?
Definitely an insane video, but I like to think it gives us a glimpse of what spaceships in science fiction have to go through to reach their destinations
Wouldn't it be better to slow down a _very small_ lander for Mün landing instead of the entire rocket?
Girl on the moon: "My parents aren't home."
Me: "I'll be there in 24 minutes."
I have only one thing to say : WHAT THE FUCK.
This is awesome.
Literally the whole travel took about the same as watching the video 3 times 💀💀
Nice change of pace! Nothing like 800 G maneuvers to spice things up
Even Brad has had enough of time per mission
Did you compose the music yourself???
Bravo! Looking forward to the behind the scenes.
Ok but how did he slow down from 10km/s to 2km/s in 1 second?
Best thing to see on my birthday
I think Val is now the first Helldiver in the kerbal universe
1,000km suicide burn
Thats just nutty
When the pizza has to be delivered in half an hour, or it's free.
800Gs, normal kerbal things
Valentia just wanted a quick trip to the mun and back
Damn, didn’t know they had the beep test in KSP2
It's always a great pleasure to watch your videos
Least broken KSP 2 Mun landing
The Legendary Series is BACKKKKKKKKKK!!!!
Who are Elena and Gail, your relatives?
That landing was butt clenching.
FINALLY ANOTHER ONE
I just realized you could do that
I know you said you'd do a voice over soon but in case you aren't planning on covering the question, why did you use fuel lines?

Didn’t*
Nice to see your stuff again.
The return of the king!
damn whats the music
Never leave, King.
So much fun to watch!
That is impressive
YESSIR BILL IS BACK
Yeah! Low-time mission! :)

can someone link the piano song its lowkey pretty nice
ua-cam.com/video/p4yAB37wG5s/v-deo.html
he showed it at the end of the vid :)
That does it. I wanna watch the whole Odyssey of Bill series, and i finally hit that subscribe button. You got me invested and interested
Kerbals stranded on the mun as the boosters explode on impact: Oooo pretty fireworks.
BABY STOP WHATEVER YOU DOING, BRADLEY IS BACK!!!!
225 Mega newtons is about 8 space shuttle's worth of force
Beautiful as always
its back! yay
