@@Charclone Carnasa is doing less frequent uploads in this series, due to his slower launch cadence atm. The fixed research speed and build rates both Beardy and n9 have means that he can eventually catch up.
You've gotten SO much mileage out of Markiner 4 - it's shaping up to be one of the Foundation's most legendary comebacks. The scenes of Markiner peacefully resting on the surface with the crescent of Mars passing overhead are spectacular!
Have you looked at Buzz Aldrin's proposition of using two cyclic stations allowing for 5-month transit times to Mars by putting a station in such an orbit that they can shuttle crew back to and from Mars by being in an orbit pattern that intercepts with both and then you would shuttle crew to and from the station? Marcus House did a cool video on it and it might be just the blue sky thinking needed to 1 up beardy and in reality, the paper was written by Buzz Aldren so maybe Buzz Kermen could come up with the idea. As by building essentially a station and placing it in an orbit that acts as a regular ferry, that particular ship needs virtually no fuel once in orbit to make successive trips so the long-term costs become less and less and then could be the basis of a permanent Kerbal presence. While it can be done with one cyclic station it means the crew would have to stay in space a lot longer on the way home but 2 one optimized for outward and one optimized for return journeys reduces the gap between the two legs to only 18 months.
This is my first time watching you, and the way this video is made, and the way you talk, is really satisfying! Definitely gonna watch the rest of the series
Took me 2 weeks but now I'm right back where I started! I didn't expect to actually watch the entire series once I realized how much there was with you, Beardy, and Carnasa but then I ended up doing so anyway cause I became so invested!
Glad to see N9 is dropping more of this brilliant series. I know what it's like juggling work and hobbies - plus editing these videos must take a lot of time. Thanks for the show.
What do you guys listen to when playing? your sessions must hours long, so you can’t just be listening to the KSP soundtrack right? Do you have music mods? Or just Spotify? Podcasts maybe?
Sometimes playlists on Spotify, sometimes a stream on Twitch, but a lot of the time nothing! I go back and forth between planning, recording, and writing constantly so my focus is all over the place haha
@@N9GamingOfficialShould totally try them, they are super cool. OP i'd say, almost free energy. Probs unsuitable for manned spaceflight because IIRC they give a dose of radiation to all crew
Were you thinking of adding the Japanese or Chinese space program to FaK yet? I think they could make a nice complement to your lineup, and allow for more people to join the fun.
Petition for someone to create a The Right Stuff-Style collaborative writing project set in the For All Kerbalkind Universe 28:14 also I find it funny that Neil has a history of gently crashing spaceplanes irl and in FAK. That should definitely be a trait that other kerbonauts make fun of lol
Is it possible to modify a Titan-III to use the LH2 (hydrogen) version of the engine in the center of the rocket for extra deltaV? That would be cool as F... (also thx for the video :D )
Definitely not a year long video, way too much going on in that time frame. Beardy has been on holiday so he'll have a video in a week and a half or so at the earliest (:
There is! Remember the Discoverer satellites? Since Beardy intercepted one we agreed to add that experiment to DynaSoar, and greatly speeding it up, allowing us to collect 40 science each flight essentially
About Re-entry an Orbital Simulator, do u still have plans for this game or is the series officially dead? Very glad that For All Kerbal kind is back btw, love this series
N9, you’re not going to win the race by building Saturn V’s. You need to start doing distributed lift missions to have a shot at matching the N-1’s cadence.
The race for the base has begun! May the best superpower win ;)
this aught' to be the best ksp series ever
[cut to Carnasa putting a base on the Moon first]
@@williamrosen3179 That actually would be AWESOME
The race to be based.
Penguins and Americans, start your engines!
Well, i suppose this means we may get an Apollo Mars instead of Venus!
Problem: soviet batteries can't hold enough power for an orbital night
Solution: go to a planet closer to the Sun 😎👍
S Tier planning right there
Excellent example of superior Soviet engineering
Should I tell the foundation that Carnasa has Kerbals on Europa already?
Really? I've been waiting for them to post their videos, since the first episode, but I haven't seen any on their channel.
@@Charclone Carnasa is doing less frequent uploads in this series, due to his slower launch cadence atm.
The fixed research speed and build rates both Beardy and n9 have means that he can eventually catch up.
@@Charclone ... he HAS, done more than one episode though.
I know one of the draws of this series is the race, but I still hope we will get a large interplanetary collabrative mission at some point.
Me too, Beardy has to stop threatening to steal my satellites first 👀
@@N9GamingOfficiali mean better then just shooting them down with a KV no?
The return of the pathfinder, my favourite rocket in this series, it is good to see it fly once again
I enjoy watching For All Kerbalkind! Excited for how the 2nd phase will play out
You've gotten SO much mileage out of Markiner 4 - it's shaping up to be one of the Foundation's most legendary comebacks. The scenes of Markiner peacefully resting on the surface with the crescent of Mars passing overhead are spectacular!
Yay you finally released your episode after like TEN YEARS.
He forgor
These episodes are starting to approach Hollywood-level production quality. Great job N9!
Omg that landing was exactly 30 years before i was born. only off by about 45 minutes. absolutely surreal.

I have! And honestly I've been dying to give it a shot, this is actually my plan for Earth Mars and Mars Earth crew transfers in the future
This is my first time watching you, and the way this video is made, and the way you talk, is really satisfying! Definitely gonna watch the rest of the series
Thanks!! Plenty more to come (:

This make Markiner the first craft to land on two astronomical bodies, other than Earth, right? If so, nice little first.
Yeah it does!
Fantastic video N9, love the new camera angles. I love the script and music choices too! Really getting the cinematic feel
I swear man, you have the coolest Mars missions.
Those Kerbals headed to Venus are doomed. I’m not worried at all.
True
Stay mad reactionary
@@tuberculosisterrence567Look at the moon, commie
The superiority of American engineering will soon be proved.
they came back!millie were even public giving a speech, but Constantine didn’t seemed to show up
So… Synkom 2E & F launched after G & H? Dude, we got some space shuttle naming scheme going on 😂
yes XD
US president hearing about Soviets going to Venus: * adds 2 zeros after NASAs budget *
Pretty much!!
Volumetric clouds look stunning.
I’m so excited to see how the series will play out now that the irl-esque moon program has finished and an alternate history path can begin
I look forward to more secret space shenanigans.
Babe wake up, N9 posted
Another fantastic video! I always look forward to this series!
Glad to see N9 is dropping more of this brilliant series. I know what it's like juggling work and hobbies - plus editing these videos must take a lot of time. Thanks for the show.
I feel like there's gonna be a robotic civilization born from all your guys spent probes on Mars
This is gonna be a great episode

Why not use RTG's for Synkom? They don't happen to degrade nearly as fast and offer great electrical performance.
I just unlocked RTGs pretty sure but havemt had them up til now!
@@N9GamingOfficialShould totally try them, they are super cool. OP i'd say, almost free energy. Probs unsuitable for manned spaceflight because IIRC they give a dose of radiation to all crew
Would we categorize anything after the first landing as Season 2? Or would it be after a base landing?
The moon landing vids definitely had a new season kind of vibe
It feels a bit like that honestly!
Markiner pulling a NEAR Shoemaker.
thanks for the new video mate
and need to know are we going to see some Seadragon action form the USA
Perchance ;)

yes sir but but but

When he sees beardy launch a venus mission... ( 0_0 ) oh shiiiiiiiiiiiiii
do not go gently into that good night, rage, rage aginst the dying of the light
Well it isn’t to late! You chould try to send your own Venus mission in the near future! Maybe even to orbit Venus!
Man your flags must be having a blast with how they've been jittering off of that pole
I'd really like to have a hand on that volumetrics config !
When it's no longer WIP I'm sure it will be posted!
Were you thinking of adding the Japanese or Chinese space program to FaK yet? I think they could make a nice complement to your lineup, and allow for more people to join the fun.
We don't intend to at this point in time, scheduling being one of a few reasons why haha
are you going to upload the craft files for these crafts?
Ive uploaded some to the discord server in the past!
@@N9GamingOfficial oh great

"There was a demon that lived in the air. They said, whoever challenged him would die."
I know that's the movie and not the book, but c'mon.
UA-cam didn't alert me damn it! I hope things are good with you N9.
Man that song/background you use makes me zen-AF! Can you tell me what song you use? (for example at 12:49)
That one is Squinting at the Sun by Lee Rosevere!
How'd you get those clouds? I have configs for volumetric clouds on rss but they don't look half as good as yours
I'm using BallisticFox's work in progress clouds at the moment!
@@N9GamingOfficial Could you possibly send a link? I tried looking up the rss config but it only shows the ksrss ones
Not currently a download for it yet, still WIP!
No. fricking. way. a dream has come true
I've been watching this since the beginning keep it up
how does the craft point to whatever it needs to point at so well without SAS?
I utilize MechJeb's SAS instead of Stock, it has some more robust control options
@@N9GamingOfficial you mean the Smart A.S.S. ?
Yep
@@N9GamingOfficialwait i thought beardy threw a fit over mech jeb, you got him to agree in the end?
Yep! Just no auto pilot, as in the launch ascent guidance and landing stuff
Definitely worth the wait. Awesome video.
Great episode as always N9, some beautiful shots this episode especially with dynaspy 26:12
What is the mod that adds sandstorms on mars ?
Volumetric Clouds! Available on blackracks Patreon, I just copied the Duna configs to Mars essentially. Still WIP and will likely get better
Never disappoints. Except when Gerald died, that was sad. 😢
RIP Jerauld. o7
It was worth the wait
You outdid yourself again
How do you put like stripes on the rockets?
Text or flag decals is the easiest way I do it :) Conformal Decals mod
Is it possible to modify a Titan-III to use the LH2 (hydrogen) version of the engine in the center of the rocket for extra deltaV? That would be cool as F...
(also thx for the video :D )
I believe we have that variant of the engine, yeah ;)
Venus go brrrr
Finally! I was waiting so long!
so much love for all the work you and Beardy have out into this series. thank you so much for doing what you guys do, cheers! ❤
when reusable first stage
Maybe when he builds the space shuttle?
☭ Soviet Kerbals to Venus ☭
Is beardys vid coming out soon? Or is it gonna be a year long ep in a week?
Definitely not a year long video, way too much going on in that time frame. Beardy has been on holiday so he'll have a video in a week and a half or so at the earliest (:
@@N9GamingOfficial will the schedule be changed so your video won’t come out next week or will the schedule stay the same?
I'm on vacation next week, but I'll try to get my video done the week after (no promises)
Hi again, will the episode be scheduled for this week?
@@zainabumer4526 I'll be working on it this week (:
Hey what mod did you use for the dyna-soar?
@@Dynasoar8 Moroz Dyna. For realism overhaul, though, it's built into ROCapsules
And then for the SIV station?
@@Dynasoar8 A bunch of parts thrown together, no one mod for that
any way to get paralax for rss?
It takes some config making but yeah you can absolutely get some planets working
I wonder, aside from roleplay is there any ingame benefit to flying Dynasoar?
There isnt
There is! Remember the Discoverer satellites? Since Beardy intercepted one we agreed to add that experiment to DynaSoar, and greatly speeding it up, allowing us to collect 40 science each flight essentially
The maneuverability of dynasoar allows much greater freedom in the orbits you can launch it into and still recover at a runway (sometimes :P)
1:59 I am pretty sure that the American flag is having a seizure.
It always does!
How it continue spinning while warping time?
The mod Persistent Rotation!
@@N9GamingOfficial iirc Persistent Rotation is inbuilt into RO, so it is safe to remove it.
About Re-entry an Orbital Simulator, do u still have plans for this game or is the series officially dead?
Very glad that For All Kerbal kind is back btw, love this series
I still have to finish the campaign, and I hear amazing things are coming too -I dont know when I will get around to it though is all!
WAKE UP N9 POSTED!!
apollo soyuz when
Why are all of N9s videos Jetlagged
Not enough time in the week to do everything I want to work on :P

maybe a bit :D
The upload schedule?
Definitely! :P
First five seconds... yo what the f*ck! No need for punching us in the feels... srsly.

Any1 know what mod has the blue roll pitch and yaw knobs?
Press capslock
Not a mod! Caps Lock toggles precision mode, which has the blue indicators
@@N9GamingOfficial Oh! Thank you so much! I'll go try that now
@@N9GamingOfficial I just tried it and it didn't work. Do you know if it works on Mac or not?
Hm, not sure on Mac - check the control input settings in the menu?
N9, you’re not going to win the race by building Saturn V’s. You need to start doing distributed lift missions to have a shot at matching the N-1’s cadence.
We've got Lunar missions ahead of us that require the Katurn V for now - though the future is a huge unknown
@@N9GamingOfficial I hope you have an ace up your sleeve.
N9 you better land on Mars before beardy even attempts to orbit Venus 🔫
So Komrade Amerikan'tsky, how is manned Amerikan Venus mission coming along?
We've yet to take such a daring leap!
what sunflare are you using for scatter?
I've made my own, edited from Kabram's Sunflare Pack (:
was the deimos landing the first landing of a spacecraft on another moon?
Away from the Earth? Yes it was!
VOLUMETRIC CLOUDS
American moon littering LMAO
Can you list all the mods you have?
Many, and assorted configs for them all over the place - Realism Overhaul contains the vast majority of our mods though!
@@N9GamingOfficialdid you install rp1 or realism overhaul? Also I was mainly wondering what the mod for the clouds is
RO then RP1, but the clouds are a work in progress version of blackrack's Volumetric Clouds
