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

First
or not
Lol I'm first

Thinking quickly, Matt constructs a homemade moon rocket using only some string, a squirrel, and a moon rocket.
What is the squirrel for.....
@@okalright3941 It's a reference to "Thinking quickly, Dave constructs a megaphone" - just look it up on UA-cam, better than me trying to explain it
@@marekmichalovic8711 my original comment was a joke but you're pretty cool and it sounded better in my head so you arent wooshed

You covered entire program in 20 minutes? One russian streamer spent 8 hours on recreating just Alan Shepherd's suborbital flight...

Matt Lowne and Scott manly upload within 45 min of each. Very epic
That’s like the matrix!
hello
what
"Are you guys excited"
Yes, yes I am
Is this the perfect merge of Matt's KSP videos and "This week in history"?
The colab of the century
It's prep work for the anniversary. in fact, Matt, those Indian launches you can't show? How about you do a kerbal artists sketch?
Yes
Ha ha. Was literally building building a mercury Atlas. It does have mods though. Keep up the good work Matt
What mods are you using? I use a large mod list because I love seeing what people make.
@@haydenrueps6866 Blue-dog design Bureau is a great mod for recreating American rockets
@@javierbates6031 ayyy
Restock+ has heatshield colors AND a mercury launch escape system (more stuff too)
Nobody talking about how absolutely AMAZING the Atlas he built looks?
Awesome idea. Looking forward to the series, Matt!

@The Catonaut thanks for the correction
Love watching these at work on my break. Perfect timing!
I'm really excited about this new KSP series. Great idea Matt, loving it!
FINALLY A NEW VIDEO! I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR A NEW LOWNE VIDEO ALL WEEK! Kinda been having a bad week...
I did upload a KSP video on Wednesday, so you wouldn't have had to wait ALL week ;)
@@MattLowne I must have missed that video, gonna go watch it when I am done with this one!
Every day without a new Lowne video feels like a week, though.
@@woodbyte Same
Hi, Matt! I found your channel a few months ago and have watched almost every video of yours since. Just wanted to say I love how knowledgeable you are about both space and KSP. I also love how you explain so much about what you're doing in-flight and give us so many tips for the "best" way to fly. Can't believe I'm making *that* pathetic essay comment but I just wanted to show you some love and tell you thank you for all your wonderful content!
You forgot to keep the thruster pack on for Glenn's re-entry!
The thruster pack didn’t actually stay on, though. The light in the capsule was malfunctioning, so they *thought* it was still on, but it had actually detached just fine.
@@mattr7994 I could be mistaken but I think you’re thinking about something else. They purposely kept it on because his heat shield was coming loose
@@mustang5132 I looked it up and it turns out I remembered a slightly mangled version of what happened - you are correct. The faulty light was telling them that the *heat shield* had come loose (although it was actually just fine), so they kept the retro package on in an attempt to hold it in place.
I remembered the problem was actually a bad indicator light and not a real problem, but I was thinking the issue was failure of the retro pack to separate, not of the heat shield to remain where it was supposed to be.
No he was one-upping nasa
great video!! Love the Mercury missions.
"3 rockets m8, sall u need" I've repaleated that about 20 times now
Your upload schedule is not nice to my sleeping schedule, BUT I SHALL BE DAMNED IF I MISS A MATT LOWNE UPLOAD!
This was probably the best Atlas Recreation Ive seen using only stock parts, nice
Brilliant idea for a series, looking forward to the rest
I’m so excited for the rest of this series! Great work Matt!
Great idea, Matt! Fun video
I love that you are building historical rockets. It’s nice to educate everyone on the history of where we got to today.
Keep up the good work!
"our history in space is very interesting, and long" that pretty much exactly describes the canceled NASA Ares rocket 🤣
“If it fails on the a suborbital mission it’s fine” “If it fails on an orbital mission you need THE BLUNDERBIRDS!”
Cool series idea!
Three cheers for SN15 :D

1 and a half stage, mmmh yes perfect name
Does that exist?
@Merton Wu it wasn't a case of whether it was possible l, it was more that its difficult to do and they didn't really have the knowledge yet.
@@anonymouskerman8318 Yeah, Atlas was developed as a missile in the 40s, if memory serves me correctly then by the time Mercury Atlas launched they already knew you could light engines in flight, but the Atlas vehicle was already built
Epic Matt! Keep up the great work love your vids!

Subtitles: murky red stone rocket
help me i am laughing hard right now
Fun video, I loved the end where they where all in flight together :D
Great video Matt 👍
Great idea for a series, looking forward to more videos!
great idea for a series dude! love it
When you have done all the irl space race do the for all mankind timeline!
That's one hell of a series! Love it!!!
Vostok next? Probably my favourite space program after Lowne Aerospace
The next will be Gemini. My current idea is we do all of America up to the Moon landing, then we rewind and do it all again but in the Soviet Union...possibly ending with another moon landing 🤔 🤔 🤔
@@MattLowne That would be cool to see! A bit of spaceflight alternate history is always fun to watch.
Really cool idea, keep it up!
In addition to the # of orbits...John Glenn’s flight also did not jetison the retro-pack. They had a sensor indication of the heat shield coming loose and kept the retro pack on to hold it on for reentry.
I love this idea for a series and I can't wait for more videos.
If I had one super tiny nitpick, it's the retro pack on the Mercury capsule was solid fuel rather than liquid fuel and so they had to time the burn correctly since it was a fixed amount of delta-v and thrust. But otherwise you pretty much nailed everything -- I especially loved the Atlas, maybe the best stock Atlas I've seen -- and that was a great video.
Love this series idea looking forward to more!
Great series Matt!!!!
Wow keep up the great work you really deserve everything!
Been really enjoying learning about the space missions and playing them in Reentry, seeing this makes me want to do this myself in KSP
Nice Video! Cool Idea
I think the idea for this series is great. Keep it up!
What if the space race was in ksp and not in irl : this is what would happen probably
great video, can't wait for the next part :)
Very impressive! It's "funny" that a/the continuous burn to orbit was the standard back then (Mercury/Gemini/Apollo) compared to what we do in KSP.
Great idea for a video series!
Great idea!!
Awesome! Id love to see a series on the space race from you. I had the same idea on my channel too, but I was just doing Apollo and Artemis.
Great work!
U matt lowne making a space race video
Best day of my life harlaelooyar.
Love ur vids!
good stuff, would love to see more interior pov shots
You also jettisoned the retro-rockets after your second mission. IRL there were some suspected problems with the heatshield so the retro-rocket package was ordered to not be jettisoned in the hopes that it would help hold the heatshield on better
,,We don't have a money, but we have a Jebedaiah - who could notice a diffrence, anyway?" XD
Really enjoyed this. Love space history.
Nice!!! Keep that series please!
Best idea!😍
That's an awesome looking Mercury/ Atlas!
please keep going with this series
Greetings from Alan Shepard's home town of Derry, New Hampshire! Home of the Astros at Pinkerton Academy (nicknamed because of Shepherd, who was a graduate).
I was trying to do this in real solar system and man is it simultaneously the most interesting and difficult thing to pull off. You learn about as much as you learned the first time you learned ksp but now it is to the level of mass fractions and fuel/mass efficiency equations, rather than just "I need more deltaV" and "point engine in this direction to raise orbit". You have to learn actual rocket science and the history behind it, and as someone who love science, history, and video games, it was actually some of the most fun I have had playing a video game.
Mat i love your KSP vids
I'm very impressed with how well you recreated all of these. I'd love to see more!
Weren't the retropack rockets supposed to be solid rocket motors, though?
Nice on Matt!
Amazing series
Exited for more
so hyped for this new series 😊
I’m surprised I haven’t heard of the Mercury project until now
Love this new series!
That chrome fairing looks great!
Exactly an hour after video was uploaded!! Nice video
Yay! Such a good new series!
I love the idea of recreating the most important space programs of the Cold War. Looking forward for another videos
12:00 I had never realized how chonky these Mercury-Redstone rockets were. It looks like a sizeable shiny silver sausage slowly soaring skyward.
Matt, this series rocks :)
My great grandmother was one of the mathematicians that worked on this project! Awesome!
This is an awesome series!
love these
Cool idea!
Love this series!!!
"I am very eccentric here" understatement of the century :PPp
Very nice idea
let's get matt lowne to 500k subscribers by the end of the year!!!!!!!!
Very excited!
Super impressive thing, but one small detail
on Mercury Atlas, They kept the retrorockets attached entering the atmosphere because they were worried that the heat shield would come off. Good mission none the less though!
To make a Soyuz descent module, take a pomegranate pod, disable the decoupler, and put a fairing base below it, and create a fairing that connects half way up the pod. Clip Separatrons with the minimal amount of fuel inside the faint base to slow down for landing. Then put a heat shield below that. On top of the pod put a reaction wheel, clip it into the pod, and add parachutes.
I'm down for the historical recreations. It would be cool to see the most famous failures reenacted as well
I love this
Yay!!!! Finally a space race!!!
you can see how heavy the last rocket is just by how fast its going like the poor rocket is trying as hard as it can
Looking forward to the future iterations of this series - do you think you will need to split them into multiple parts (i.e. Apollo part 1, part 2, etc.), due to the sheer number of flight objectives that Gemini and Apollo accomplished, will you combine multiple missions into a single launch,or do you anticipate making a longer video summarizing the whole program? I'd like a longer one just due to the quality of your work, but imagine it would take you much longer to make as well
17:40 NASA spent those years by calculating, receiving money to buy recources to build the rocket and finally, waiting for the moment to start the launch. But, you're cool too because of making your videos and doing cool things that we're so exited to see, like, doing space stations around Duna! Thank you!
!Attention! You will be rickrolled in next one minute
Never gonna give you up!
Never gonna let you down!
Never gonna tell a lie,
And hurt you!
Never gonna make you cry!
Never gonna say goodbye!
Never gonna run around and
Desert you!
Very interesting Series :)
8:02 Nice demonstration on how brutal the g-forces were on such a steep flight profile.
Epic vid
well I made it quickly than ever. Cool series idea!
