Apollo 11 Tribute - The Full Mission in First-Person view - KSP RSS/RO
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 чер 2024
- Best watched with headphones. 🎧
Embark onboard the Apollo 11 spacecraft, for this historical journey to the Moon surface and back, on the occasion of the 54th anniversary of the mission, entirely piloted from first person perspective (IVA). Featuring synchronized Capcom audio all along, as well as rarer archive onboard crew recordings.
Contrary to Apollo, the whole mission here was done manually, except for the Earth ascent to orbit.
Due to those IVAs limitations, I had to place maneuver nodes from the map view, which was the only time when it was used.
Note that the CM and LM instruments and panel layouts are mostly accurate to the real ones, however the instruments are adapted towards KSP gameplay and capabilities.
This was definitely a challenging and fun mission to do, as well as learning a lot about the outstanding Apollo 11 mission, and its crew.
Thanks for watching !
I hope you enjoyed this content, if so, you can do the usuals : like, share, comment, suscribe. : )

- There are numerous misidentifications of the voices, I made some copy paste mystakes on my side indeed, but afterwards I could also find several mismatch between the sources I used : apollo 11 flight journal, apollo 11 in real time, official Nasa transcripts - I should've always checked with this one I guess at the end...

Thanks everyone for your warm comments and feedback, appreciate it ! : )
Shall I make a tutorial covering how to land on the Moon with this IVA, in RSS/RO ? Or maybe how to do this particular lunar rendez-vous & docking sequence ?
Thx for your feedback : )
Also a mission report I wrote, with descrption on how each important steps is executed, with associated images, and some Nasa diagrams to go along : )
forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/...
What specific mod has the usable Iva?
@@uhb0t ROCapsules (you need RSS/RO). If you play stock, it's available in Deck's saturn V (needs ASET and RPM). All the mods are in the video descrption : )
can you do an apollo 13 mission vid? Thanks
@@MangoBucketHead10 That something I could consider, however the difficulty is that KSP is limited in terms of failures and systems accuracy in regards to the real ones...
I'm also planning to improve the Apollo IVA cockpit interior for that, If I have time...^^
They had to fake it to make it
What I love is that it took more computing power to make not just the game but this video as well than it took to actually go to the moon...
I've never heard the onboard conversations before. It really puts you in capsule with them! Very powerful.
Yeah exactly, also reveals more the human and chatty aspects of the crew, that the Capcom tranmssions don't have : ) I loved digging through those archives
Masterfully done! We live in times where KSP players make better documentaries then the history channel, lol.
hahaha, thanks < 3
100%! History channel has lost the plot lol
I always enjoy how enthusiastic and cheerful Mike Collins sounds all the way to the moon
haha yeah me too ^^
Bro, this truly is a work of video art! Beautiful job you did there :) loads of space enthusiasts will love this!
Oow, thank you Las' ! < 3
Almost. The US flag is incorrect. It only has 35 stars -- 15 states short. Other than that, a great job.
@@jody6851 You're right ! As I explained in your other comment about that, It's totally on my side, and it was a big facepalm.
Missed it since I was focused looking for a flag texture with windy effect on it, and of course, I noticed it once the vid was posted..^^ As usual with things like that haha
4:18 "Somebody farted."
Buzz Aldrin
That's my new favorite inspirational quote
Buzz was covering for himself.
I was there as a 11-year-old kid. This was a treat, watching the entire video. Well done on the panel details. Thanks again.
Thanks a lot, all my pleasure : ) Well I was the same as you when discovering all those golden nuggets of crew conversations when making this video ^^
Cheers
Everything was perfect ! The music, the audio, views, the flow ! You did an amazing job. Who would have guessed a KSP video could be this immersive ? Thanks for this moment.
Many many thanks ! I'm happy you enjoyed it, and glad you appreciated the immersive aspect I tried to bring into it indeed.
Yeah KSP is just... great < 3
Thanks again : )
@@Kurgutt I hate the music because it takes away from hearing the callouts.
I don't know why, but I had tears on "The Eagle has landed". Everything about this video was perfect, the crew audio and the music.
Thanks a lot for your words ❤
I guess a lot had tears at the same moment, when it happened, back then...! : )
Cheers
Great job dude! Was a challenge and executed beautifully!
Thanks a lot !
This was amazing. Hard to hold back tears when they landed.
< 3 I guess it was the case too for a lot people on Earth at that time... Tears of joy and emotion !
This was simply amazing! Hopefully, it will get more views, you deserve it :)
Thanks a lot for your kind words : ) Don't hesitate to share it !
Brilliant work in every way! In my space collection there are articles from Soviet newspapers of the first decade of the space age, in particular about flights under the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo program. By the way, despite the space race between the USSR and the USA, all articles are written very respectfully and this applies to all NASA programs. There is one video on my channel just about the Apollo 11 flight and an autograph by Neil Armstrong. With respect and best wishes from Russia.
Thanks for your words ! Wow, just watched your video, that's very precious materials you have there. I'd wish to able to read russian for this. Brings emotion still thanks to your explanation. Maybe will come a time where this little plaque found on Apollo's lander legs, "we came in peace for all mankind", will be applied down here as well, between countries and people.
"...to bring tranquility to Earth" as Nixon said...
Really inspiring documents, thanks for sharing again, and best regards from France.
@@Kurgutt Thanks for watching! I'm totally on the same wavelength with you! Good luck!
To think that this all took place a mere 66 years after the Wright brothers first flight is mind boggling !
Completly yeah...
What I found crazy too, is that W. v Braun was an actor of space exploration, all the way from the beginnings to the first steps on the Moon !
His inner child must have lived a true dream haha
Cheers
This is awesome! What a wonderful tribute to these 3 great men. Neil, Michael, and Buzz were my heroes throughout my growing up years. All 3 are still my heroes to this day.
This included things I had never heard before. This is a Master Craft exercise. Well Done, sir.
Many thanks! I'm glad that you discovered some things, I my self stumbled upon a lot of new audio to me when digging, and I'm happy that people enjoy that too ! : )
Love the music choices, I love the Moon Machines series too
Thank you so much ! Yeah me too < 3
Fun fact : Do you know how I came with the idea of using Frank Sinatra's "It's nice to go traveling", for the trip back to Earth ?
It's because the crew actually listened to it (I guess on a tape recorder), while in orbit around the Moon...
That adds so much to the thrill imo : D
Cheers
Were they playing and listening to music during this??? Surely it wouldn't have been added for reasons when so much time and effort was spent into making this simulation as realistic as possible. Confused.....
@@JIMJAMSC They weren't listening to music during the critical parts, but otherwize yes, they did llisten to some music in space: fly me to the Moon/Nice to go travling/others, hence my choices : )
This is superbly well done. Extra special mention for the choice of music!
Many thanks Marc ! Glad you enjoyed it, I love your videos as well !
Au plaisir ! ; )
Wow, this is amazing. I don't know much about it but it was a fun experience. I didn't realize just how short the first stage was.
Thanks a lot ! Glad you enjoyed it and learn some bits and bobs : )
Short in burn time you mean ? you only 2 min', but hey not the same efficiency as the J-2s, some big power much needed to get that saturn off the ground ! : )
Cheers
@@Kurgutt No, from liftoff to stratosphere where you pull the most Gs. When you see a video launch from the outside of the rocket they must slow down the video because it seems like it take a long time.
Just unreal. You did a great job making this video. It is good to understand what flying inside the actual ship was like, and what it looked like. And the music and your inclusion of some actual film was perfect. This was created as a documentary. You did one hell of a job, not quality was missing
Thank you so much for your words and feedback, glad you enjoyed it ! : )
Awesome dialogue!!!! It's funny to hear all these lines finally spoken after having read all of them in Carrying the Fire many times.
Isn't it ? : D I love it too
And they were sooo many more other lines I wanted to include, but video time constraint made me hard choices haha
It is insane men flew this analogue.
Yeah, truly space pioneers they were.
Thanks for virtually taking us back in time to the moon and back. Beautiful work of art.
I was there... sitting on the floor watching it as it happened. Funny thing.. as I watched this, I was more impressed with my parents reaction then my own at the time. But Apollo 15 was my absolute favorite... We took a "Dune Buggy" to the Moon! I just thought that was the coolest thing of all time! We're Americans, of course we took a car to the moon! How funny is that?! No one born after that will ever understand the heart bursting pride we felt. I hope one day you get that feeling, and I hope I'm still around for a second go.
I would give a lot to have been there in those moments for sure, how lucky !
And I wish you indeed to see it again 😉
This was so beautiful I wanted to weep. Thank you for all your hard work in making it.
I'm glad it touched you, thank you ! ❤
If I had some powers offered to me, one for sure would be to experience this historical moment for real.
Cheers ! : )
Love this! Great job!
thx !
This is so well done, thanks for creating and sharing this. Was very well worth the watch. Hope more people get to see this. Shared to a few of my space loving friends.
Glad you enjoyed it ! And thanks for sharing : ) all the best
I think for all the detractors who say it was fake. There is a beauty in this that no fake could ever have achieved. In terms of the electronics used to the machinery. To the astronauts. To ground control and how people the world over felt. It all has it's own internal integrity. It was a moment that marked time in our history.
A lot of the music was composed by Philip Sheppard for a little known documentary series called Moon Machines, where each program focused on a particular part of the Apollo hardware: the Saturn V, the CM, the LM, the Apollo Guidance Computer, the spacesuits and the Lunar Rover. I'm a big fan of what I call "Moon Music" including Brian Eno, Philip Sheppard and Gary Lionelli.
every time i see a video like this i’m amazed it doesn’t have like 100k likes. Great content i’d love to see some of the gemini missions in this format
Thank you for your words ! You can share it with your space-loving friends too! : )
Oh about Gemini I was thinking about it yeah, tho I will need to make a better replica of the Gemini cockpit myself, since there's no one I'm satisfied with in KSP right now...
Maybe for the Gemini anniversary ! ; )
The space shuttle I'd love to do as well, and to do a precision landing manually-flown reentry... but this I have to pratice before haha ^^
This is gold. Awesome job mate. 👏👏
Please keep this pieces of art coming!
Thanks ! < 3 I'll try ^^
Did not expect Jebediah Kerman to be there
Im glad this is getting alot of attention! you worked hard on this. well done!
Thank you ! Yes I'm happy about it in regards to the fact that that maybe it'll show rarer seen things about apollo, like the onboard crew conversations for instance...
(that sentence for sure isn't english-ly sane ^^ hope you'll understood my point haha)
Best to you !
I loved how you used the landing from first man for the landing
Thanks : ) It fitted quite well, and it's a nice music as well < 3
this deserves millions of views!
❤
thank you : )
Absolutely amazing video and great job!!
Thanks a lot for your feedback, glad you liked it ! Feel free to share it ! : )
Absolutely gorgeous and with all the excitement and wonder of really going there. Not that I would actually know of course. And this was only the third ever manned flight out to the Moon, with another 6 to follow.
Let's appreciate the amount of work that went into this!
In the Apollo 11 mission by Nasa ? yeah truly outstanding.
:P hehe thank you ; )
This is seriously awesome,well done and thankyou
Thanks a lot ! ❤
Excellent, excellent rendering and extremely detailed...u should be very proud of urself
This video is just beautiful. Really good job! I enjoyed every single second of it!
Huge thanks ❤:)
This is fantastic! Thoroughly enjoyed it.
Thank you : ) Glad you liked it !
Wow awesome job, brings back a lot of memories, my father was on the team that designed the radio on the LM, the stories he would tell me about his work, he became a minister after that and passed away back in 2006, he would of loved this, once again thank you.
Thank you for your words and for sharing this : )
What a chance you had ! I'm sure he told you interesting stories and facts about it.
May your dad be in peace among the stars
Best to you ! : )
@@Kurgutt Thank You, and yes he did
Why is this so good!
Because the mission it self was outstanding ? cheers : )
Wow dude! This is just an absolutely amazing work of video art! Hope you get more views on this because it really is a piece of art you made there and you would deserve it. Keep up the good work!
Hey, thank you so much for your kind words and feedback ❤ Much appreciated ☺
Cheers!
Nice post, thanks for putting it here.
I must have flown that transpo & LEM extraction a hundred times after they added the Apollo package to Orbiter.
Tried to post the video on UA-cam, but back then they had some sort of length limit, so never got it on.
Great video man, very cool.
Glad you liked it, cheers : )
This was absolutely and unbelievably well done. Moved me to tears when they were on the moon looking back at the Earth. Really great stuff, thank you!
Thank you so much! < 3
This is honestly the best ksp vid ive seen in a very long time (maybe even ever)! The amount of effort you put in must have been a lot! Thank you so much for this video, it is very inspiring.
EDIT: you just earned a subscriber!
Hey, thank you so much for your kind words ! Appreciate it < 3
Yeah I've to admit I did fall into some deep rabbit hole with this one ^^
But It was exciting ! Flying the mission in the first place, digging through the Nasa audio archives to find the golden nuggets, clean the audio, etc. Also learned a ton about Apollo mission and spacecrafts as well as the crew :)
Cheers !
This guy is highly underrated.
4:19
Someone needs to make a top 10 video of Buzz's quotes, and put this at number 1.
Agreeds ! And know what's funny, I found it by accident in an archive audio, since it's not in the official Nasa transcripts. Those naughty admin guys excluded it !
(Also Mike is very chatty too^^)
Bravo ! Loved every part of it.
Thank you so much !! ❤
This deserves so more views! Awesome work done there! Love it
Hey thx a lot ! ❤
Well it's already about 140 times average more than my others videos of 500 views haha
thanks again : )
Awesome! I was adrenalized during the whole flight. Great job!
Hey thanks a lot ! Glad that you enjoyed it : )
Cheers
Bro needs more than just 500 subs especially when he’s making stuff like this
❤🙏 : )
Peace of art. What a great documentary!
Thank you ! < 3
That was just amazing! Fantastic job!
Many thanks! < 3
This is as criminally underrated as IVA mods
Clearly, work done by the modder is amazing here
Amazing! Thankyou for making this
Nice little film good job! 😊I had this game in my Steam library since release also seems I bought the all the expansions over the years during sales. Never thought this game was realistic like this. Got to give this a try one day.
Haha. Also got about 500 games on steam and only played like 5% in 12yrs. As seems the older ya get the less time you have for games. Also a 20yr state trooper and the wife and 3 teen daughters aren't into games either. Yet just cannot seem to stop buying games on sale, hell now that I think about it got Origin, GOG, UBi, Blizzard and Epic etc. So even more unplayed games. Last game I remember finishing was Tom Clancy Blacklist, BF Hardline and BF2. I only play single player as well and just no time for MP. Last MP game was like Call of duty advanced something.
Pardon the rant but you younger peeps enjoy playing while ya can as life only gets harder and longer. 😉
Really amazing. Nice work!
Thanks ; ) Next the same in VR ? ^^ cheers
The staging and ignition @ 2:30 sounds wickedly awesome!
Cant believe they did this in under 30 minutes!
Schedule was very tight. Each breath was timed.
That couple of hours in the LM really was short wasn't it? Crazy how time flies.
This was captivating! Well done.
Many thanks ! ❤
Loved it! Great job ❤
Thanks a lot < 3
Just wonderful! I wish I could give it more than just one "like"!
Oh thank you < 3 You can also share to other people ! ; )
Love it! It’s amazing! Thanks
This was a masterpiece of a video, thanks so much for flying the mission all the way through like this, as well as capturing and portraying it in such beautiful fashion!!! Everything was just marvelous...really felt like we were in the capsule with them, as well as on the lunar surface and back home on Earth...wow ❤
Thank you so much for your kind words < 3
I my self discovered a lot by doing this video, about apollo and its crew, I'm really happy to make people live this experience, and maybe discover some new things about it : )
Cheers
@Kurgutt But of course!!! 😄
I can't imagine what experience it must have been going through the checklists/procedures like that (learning the module systems and everything!). Did you let the KSP simulation actually run through the whole thing or did you jump from segment to segment? I assume the distances in-game are scaled down from reality 😂.
I honestly never heard the cockpit recordings like this but hearing them for the first time while "sitting" in the capsule was something else entirely hahaha. I most definitely learned a lot - that Mike was a funny guy, especially, hahaha 😜.
Cheers indeed!
Do you have a background in aerospace or do you just have a passion for it?
@@IsraeliDino Yeah going through the audio archives was really great, and there's a ton of things I wanted to included, but I had to make choices due to video time constraint... ^^
KSP with those mods is in real scale yeah, but there is time warp : )
Yeah Mike is so chatty haha : P
No background, at some point I almost went in astrophysics studies but changed path. Also had a private pilot license for planes tho, so yeah, just a passion : )
@Kurgutt Amazing!!! I'd say that even with the time constraint, you chose just the right moments to show...phenomenal. And oh of course there are mods for that hahahaha, I should've known 😂
But oh wow gotcha, awesome - to be able to delve into one"s passions like that (heck - to know what they are and to put aside time for them!) is a very special thing!!! I also almost went to study physics/astrophysics but decided upon aerospace engineering instead...halfway through the degree now! 😝
Good on you for getting your license also - that is a dream of mine which one day soon I will also attain, gosh I love flying 😉
Keep on creating these lovely works of art, we'll all be here to like and subscribe hahaha
Work of Art.
Thank you for this!
Many thanks ! ❤
Great job!
You put a lot of effort in this well done. 🦅
thx ! : )
There is something absolutely and scarily powerful in this.
this was amazing. i hope the algo picks this up and shares it with more.
Many thanks ! ❤
Well for me it's already at least 150 times better than my average vid haha but hey yeah, let's spread it !
I hope that people also discover new little things about the mission, like those crew audio conversations. : )
Cheers
Just so very well done! Love it!!!
Thank you so much ! < 3
this is awesome!
Thank you !!!
This is a masterpiece!! Well done sir!
many thanks!!
This is incredible 👏
Incredible recreation. The radio chatter really adds a little je ne sais quoi. Nice work.
Thanks a lot ! : D A je-ne-sais-quoi of immersion for sure : P
Wow awe inspiring how cool this is and how much effort is must’ve taken
Thanks man ! Yeah took some time indeed ^^
Fantastic! Just fantastic! Well done sir!
Many thanks ! Happy you enjoyed it!
Cheers
these IVA's are awesome
Yes, the modder made an incredible work < 3
What a fantastic trip. Very well done.
thanks my dude < 3
A fantastic effort! Well done!
many thanks ! < 3
it's mindblowing that you filmed all of this in KSP 1
KSP 1 is amazing, and modders deserve all the love : )
@@Kurgutt the only sad part is that some of the mods don't work anymore. glad you where able to do this while they where all compatible with each other, though!
@@moxxierathe I used the latest version of KSP for this video : ) a lot of mods work actually ! : )
@@Kurgutt i currently have a few of them, but I'll make sure to check out some of the other ones.
Amazing video! Great work!
Many thanks ! : D
thanks for this superb and historic job. fantastic
thank you < 3
I really enjoyed this. Loved the blend of docu plus game.
thank you ! < 3
Absolutely amazing :)
My heart almost stopped beating when walking on the moon. Imagine experiencing that shit in real life.
What an amazing video!
thank you < 3
I still can't believe we've stepped on the moon, we've stepped on something other than Earth. 50 years ago that is.
With analog tech, manual visual tracking, sextant to look at the stars. This will always blow my mind indeed !
I've been looking for capsules that could make a FreeIva-compatible Saturn V. This video has really helped.
Happy to hear that, freeIVA is great.
Really cool video, thanks for your efforts
And thanks for your words ! : )
@@Kurgutt you’re welcome 🙂
That was great!
Wow! this looks as real as the actual footage
This was done when the world's first LCD screen was just manufactured. Can anyone imagine that?
It's incredible achievement for that time, the AGC and DSKY were truly a marvel of engineering, the heart of the spacecraft !
It's funny, since yesterday, I just watched a conference given by David Scott (astronaut on Apollo/gemini), since he was very involved in the development process, as the user, and gives the astronaut's perspective on this amazing hardware / software. A great talk !
there it is : ua-cam.com/video/NVHPunas4E4/v-deo.html
Cheers
Nice video. Everything but the alien craft that were observing them.
Beautiful work.
Many regards.
Many thanks, and best to you as well ! ❤
I’m watching First Man while I’m watching lol. Man these guys had BALLS!
haha, nice
Yeah, true space pioneers they were.
Mind blows every time, primitive computer, visual navigation aid (a sextant like on a boat), only analog gauges and props everywhere... So admirable !
Cheers
Amazing job doing this! If you could port this to VR, it could be one of the best experiences out there
Thank you! : )
Yep VR exists for KSP IVA-ing, and it's amazing.
