Thanks! Yeah, I was surprised at how well those turned out. I tried rover/aircraft wheels initially but they were either too fragile or too flimsy. 100 RPM on these bearings seems to be the sweet spot before things start to RUD. I think that the expansion of the grip pads at higher speeds allows the bearings to form a tighter grip on the ring structure.
This is a kind of masterpiece. While watching the video, I kept thinking it was on the same level as stratzenblitz, but he commented on it himself. Thanks for the great work of inspiration.
What, how!? Amazing build! This level of work is definitely worth more subs. Every time I see you post I immediately click Keep up this level of awesome
As a person who's just really learning to use the more advanced tools in game to build things like my first SSTOs, I'm increasingly coming to understand the amount of patience and finesse you put into each of these massive, awe-inspiring builds. Thanks for making these awesome videos, can't wait to see your next creation!
@@JonelKingas I was also glad that it was distributed for free (otherwise I wouldn't even have noticed this wonderful game and space simulators in general). But there was no limit to my resentment at Epic Games when they took this game away from me, because I live in Russia. And it is also impossible to buy it from Russia, since the publisher decided to discredit it on a national basis. It's a very unpleasant situation...
Legend says that if he installs RSS/RO, he could do a full grand tour of the Milky Way Galaxy in one launch, including landing on stars, gas giants, black holes and nebulae. Man just needs procedural parts and procedural SRBs to alleviate the suffering that is stock parts.
Joooooooooo That is so freaking AWESOME Reminds me of Stratzenblitz with those gigantic proportions and sophisticated designs! This space station is incredible, It looks so cool that I want to visit such a location in the far future
My brain just suffered Kraken induced RUD from this video. Good lord, not just the ingenuity and engineering, but the CREATIVITY! I would never even have DREAMED of something like this! What was your inspiration?
i like the concept displayed at 3:00 standard ring components you assemble around any asteroid of a given size range once that one is mined out, disassemble and send to the next rock
Если пробурить в астероиде шахты для добычи ресурсов, а освободившиеся полости использовать как место для обитания ? это же готовая космическая станция, закрыта от радиации и других внешних факторов о_О
you are crazy 🤣great work!!! Just put a rib in the inner ring, to give more rigidity to the structure, the rig can also be used like a rail jointly with the whole structure's sides. Really a great work.
1:49 there is this line from a book I read a few years back... ~" orbital plane changes are expensive" use Ceramic ball bearings, the metal ones are prone to spot weld when Ionising solar radiation washes over them, a charge can build up and discharge internally to equalize the total charge... this was a discovery of a common control moment gyroscope failure aboard the orbital craft. Now they use Ceramic bearings I think. old man, data might be a bit off... that's how I recall the problem of control moment gyroscope failure affecting the Hubble telescope too. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reaction_wheel control moment gyroscope
If anyone ever dislikes this video has no appreciation for the amount of time this took. I am also willing to bet this person has full time job too. Great video. 💪🤘 ps. Teach me!!! 😂
Interesting concept. Hower the mechanical efforts on the only hard link with the asteroid would probably not be sufficent to ensure a the stability of the whole, especially when space vehicules comes and docks to it (but also because of the effort due to the moment of inertia of the rotation of the toroidal part, that could even vary depending of the mechanical activity on board the station which could potentialy move the center of gravity of the ring). I personaly would have add, at least, two more links similar to the one of the segment that generates the rotation in your animation. Furthermore, what is really the point with the asteroid ? Probably for mining purposes as we can imagine, but the mass of such object could partly counterbalance the artificial gravitational field because of the corresponding force of gravity it is likely to generate. A similar kind of structure could apparently be designed without the asteroid.
A lovely concept, but in reality I think the staged ladder of retro engines one above the other and running in unison would need great safety standards. And in a fixed anchored orbit around a comet is a more than grand, especially as comets have their own orbital path. Which has often been a personal question for me, whether comets are part of the “panspermia” of bringing life giving properties such as H2O. Cool graphics speaking as an ex-grad of them.
Oh my God! I 'd ever thought how they' ll do to put on work to get minerals from a comets and how make the translation to earth... Thank you by this video.
cool model, we have to live inside the astroid for cover from meteorite traveling 20 to 160 thousand mph. we also have to deal with the constant electrolysis of the electric environment
If you make the ring spin rapidly then it can be used to stabilize the flight path and you can use lighter weight high tensile materials. You could even have it contain the liquid fuels, the spin acting to push the fuel to the engines. Would be far cheaper and safer
A lot of work done here on something that could be possible in the future! Impressive! Question though ... Why do spaceships always have wings?? They don't have any effect in space.
This idea has so much potential for building a moon ring colony! If you can replace the rolling gear by Maglev system will look so realistic as halo ring. For some reason I not sure how people can getting inside a moving ring? can physics allow it?
I noticed that the station keeping thrusters seemed to be working quite hard, was there a reason why you didn't have more grabbers connect to the asteroid?
The concept is good and have great potential even it takes ages to complete this...but it will be good for future digging operations in space just few more upgrades then it will be use in many ways. 👍
Awesome design! I'm especially impressed with the ring bearings; I didn't expect Rotor/grip pad bearings to be stable at those high speeds.
Thanks! Yeah, I was surprised at how well those turned out.

Was about to respond that this bus was stratzenblitz-esque and saw this wow
Yo, it’s Stratzenblitz! How’s it going bro?
Damn I have this game but I totally sucked I keep coming back to earth, idksatg....
3:56 That's the best looking spaceship I've ever seen
I wish i can get it
Sith Infiltrator, bud
@@realtacobell
I thought of Maul's scimitar.
damn that's bomb as hell. the whole station has such a nice credibly detailed and chunky-feeling shape too
Dude seriously. I'm speechless, this is way beyond awesome
This must’ve taken ages. Great stuff!
Yep. Whole project took over a month working on and off.
@@jamieloganaerospace6404 How come it took that long? amazing video
@@johnreder8167 have you played ksp lol
This is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen in KSP!
I have no idea how you've dealt with the high part count lag and the kraken!!!
I love the whole project but damn, that shuttle looks cool
Every time I think I’ve seen the coolest thing ever in KSP.. I stumble across something new
This is a kind of masterpiece. While watching the video, I kept thinking it was on the same level as stratzenblitz, but he commented on it himself. Thanks for the great work of inspiration.
Great video!
Feels like the perfect set up to a high concept opening scene for a sci-fi movie...
Imagine seeing that comet from kerbin and thinking it was a UFO because of how fast its spinning
What, how!? Amazing build!
This level of work is definitely worth more subs. Every time I see you post I immediately click
Keep up this level of awesome
got my mind blown the reddit post a few weeks ago, stoked to see this video. what an awesome creation!!

I have over 5k hours on KSP but I can't even dream about making something like this!
Even after a year of playing KSP I can't dream about things like this! 🙈
I cant even beat the tutorial
Today saved a guy from space and yesterday did an orbit around moon and back, good game, im happy it was free on epic games as well

Joooooooooo
That is so freaking AWESOME
Reminds me of Stratzenblitz with those gigantic proportions and sophisticated designs!
This space station is incredible, It looks so cool that I want to visit such a location in the far future
Thanks so much! I’d be lying if I said that he doesn’t inspire much of my work.
It’s one those ksp channels, I’ve stumbled upon a gem
I’m so glad I found this channel. The KSP ambition is off the charts and I love it!!
Thanks so much, and welcome!
Not only technically impressive, the aesthetics of this are immaculate.
Thanks!
Wow, that's so awesome! Great work!
Easily one of the most impressive structures I've seen built in this game. Great job!
The most incredible thing about this station is that it somehow avoids kraken. Meanwhile I have 20 part rovers shaking themselves apart for no reason.
That starship featured at 3:57, would you mind sharing a craft file to that (if you'd like or are able to.) It's so sublime!
Tis a real beauty indeed
Most underrated ksp channel
Can't wait to see you make this in real life one day! If the aerospace companies are ever need a space station architect, this is where they find him!
This is absolutely stupendous! I love seeing stuff like this, it really inspires me to make stuff like this in KSP.
Thanks! I’m glad you like it.
well that just blows away my little micro station where i docked two small asteroids together after putting them in Kerbal orbit. FREAKIN JEALOUS NOW!
It's so pretty! I have quite some hours on both steam and xbox, but this is just amazing. I'm glad it didn't RUD during the rotor docking.
The spaceplane thats docked at the end looked awesome
My brain just suffered Kraken induced RUD from this video. Good lord, not just the ingenuity and engineering, but the CREATIVITY! I would never even have DREAMED of something like this! What was your inspiration?
Thanks so much! I got the idea for this from the Big-O Ferris Wheel in Tokyo.
Love your videos man, keep it up!
Thanks, will do!
Glad to be one of the first 1.5k subs :)
This is freakin sick. Totally underrated channel! Keep it up!
i like the concept displayed at 3:00
standard ring components you assemble around any asteroid of a given size range
once that one is mined out, disassemble and send to the next rock
Incredible design!! Bravo 👍
I wonder if it'd be possible to put A RING AROUND THE ENTIRETY OF KERBIN or some other planet in KSP
This channel is underrated.
Really impressive, I get some strong "The Last Starfighter" vibes from your comet station!
Thanks!
I am still a beginner at KSP and I hope one day I will be able to make something as good as this! I just subscribed!
its just a rock
The rock:
The Kraken is gonna love this
Reminder this is one accidental time warp away from being destroyed… lol
Mannnnnnn, This is insane! Someone has a lot of time and a big brain.
I didn't know you could beat this game. Well done!

This man loves his Mammoth engines!
Mindblowing design.
thats the best spaceship i've seen in my life
Another genius design and awesome vid! 👍
Thanks!
Impressive design. All component parts appear to be non currosive from outer space factors. Excellent job.
woah dude i cant really even describe how just amazing it is
you are crazy 🤣great work!!! Just put a rib in the inner ring, to give more rigidity to the structure, the rig can also be used like a rail jointly with the whole structure's sides. Really a great work.
absolute genius design and execution!
Wow.. this is a wholesome @aeronautical project..👌🏾💯💯 this will be the most complex project that'll be a portion toward advanced civilization 👌🏾🤔🤔
Absolute madlad, taking it to 2020/10
I love everything about this :D
That smaller ship is awesome

I literally forgot comets existed in the game, definitely will be doing a mission to one soon.
Amazing! Your ksp skills put mine to shame
Wahnsinn. Die entwickler sollten stolz auf dich sein was du mit den spiel alles so anstellen kannst.
They kraken must love your builds!
Beautiful design 👌
I am at a lost for words. Truly amazing!
Thank you!
NOW THATS THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOX... VERY COOL ...! 😎
The kraken loves this type of food.
Instant subscription 🙌 keep up the beautiful work

This will be soo usefull in ksp2. Imagine how many resources this can make with ksp2 parts
Astroid now has beautiful rings :)
Your work is admirable.
this man just took asteroid stations to a next level
Outstanding, really incredible, can you share the craft files (like Stratzen and others do) so we can play along with your creations..
If you make the ring spin rapidly then it can be used to stabilize the flight path and you can use lighter weight high tensile materials. You could even have it contain the liquid fuels, the spin acting to push the fuel to the engines. Would be far cheaper and safer
Gerry Anderson would be proud of you
0:49 that was such a sweet ass shot
What a technology demonstration
Comets tend to follow a long orbit. If the weight of the comet gets to far, it may also afect it's orbit.
Great work! I think it was hard
That's some engineering.
(Google translator)
Very impressive.
But how would the crew in such a station move from the docking section to the ring?
A lot of work done here on something that could be possible in the future! Impressive! Question though ... Why do spaceships always have wings?? They don't have any effect in space.
How is this not Kraken bait?
This idea has so much potential for building a moon ring colony! If you can replace the rolling gear by Maglev system will look so realistic as halo ring. For some reason I not sure how people can getting inside a moving ring? can physics allow it?
Great job on this. I would love to see a Kerbal's view from inside.
I’ve seen pictures of this somewhere, did t know you made it
reasonably sized.
I like to imagine that if you somehow piss off the station overseer he can just detach your house and send you flying through space alone
< Jeb has been evicted >
Love this.
this needs way more views
I noticed that the station keeping thrusters seemed to be working quite hard, was there a reason why you didn't have more grabbers connect to the asteroid?
The concept is good and have great potential even it takes ages to complete this...but it will be good for future digging operations in space just few more upgrades then it will be use in many ways. 👍
