I recorded this stuff in FEBRUARY on stream, and I decided to finally figure out how to edit it this month! Well it took the ENTIRE DAMN MONTH! It's a new series! If this first episode is not up to par, forgive me. I already have footage for another episode, though that won't be my next video. I hope you enjoyed this somewhat different thing!
UA-cam INFO & PATREON THANKS:
I thought the January ad crash sucked, how about ad rates falling by 33% due to what's going on in the world?
Thank you for supporting me on Patreon, it makes all the difference! bit.ly/ytDannyPatreon
always love different things
The title of the video literally describes how I play ksp.
Amazing production as always
What is the music
i like stupid solutions, more please.
Danny: "I have a problem for this solution!"
This man just created the spacecraft equivalent of the forward assist.
You should always try spinning, that's a good trick.
it worked for a little while.
Why did I think of you Dennis as soon as he said that...
Yep,Anakin Told us:WALK BAD SPIN GOOD
Oh it is yoda himself
I found out this trick on my own, turns out in some cases real spacecraft would do that.
KSP: “It’s not possible to attach a heat shield after assembly!” Danny2462: “No, it’s necessary.”
Come on mechjeb!
Just press enter to make a new line when typing comments...
...like this, for example.
Pretty neat, huh?
Well, this didn't age well with 1.11
No no, Danny is the reason we have 1.11, he's a genius.
1.11:
Stupid problems require stupid solutions.
I was gonna say that
Stupid problems require *even stupider* solutions
Stupid solutions require stupid problems.
THE KING HAS RETURNED
*_i need to sign my death certificate._*
We share first then... or war

i am jebediah.
The rumours are true.. Jeb is it you?
Max Sutton yes
3:50
Jebediah Kerman: "WITNESS ME!"
Immortan Danny: "BAH! SUBOPTIMAL!"
It's never been a secret that you're really good at KSP. Glad you're showing it off fully now.
"Modern problems require modern solutions"
Danny2462: Yeah, but I'd prefer if it were a little *dumber.*
He needs to dumb it down a little for those of us who are not nada certified (ref. to his how to helicopter video)
This is actually a smart solution. In theory you can even add an engine to the shield craft and re-use it many many times
It needs a bit of polish.
Mudkip909 does the ten meter shield have ablator?
@Mudkip909 It depletes extremely slow, AFAIK
I imagine in the far future if we have efficient enough engines, we might do interplanetary deliveries by having "throwers" that accelerate a payload, decouple, and then turn around and return before leaving the planet's SOI, along with "catchers" that match orbit and dock with an incoming payload, then burn retrograde to capture it.
This wouldn't save any delta v (in fact it would waste a ton of it), but would allow a single engine to transport many payloads since it wouldn't have downtime during the trip. The payloads could then be little more than a bulk cargo container with basic attitude control and an antenna
I was thinking that it would probably be fine without a heatshield and then the moment you put up the "this is fine" comic I realized that it wasn't.
Your avatar is disgusting
@@MBKill3rCat Dafuq is it? I can't tell
@@fellout2555 The EU flag with Danish flags inside it I think
@@MBKill3rCat Isn't Denmark apart of the EU though?
@@MBKill3rCat it got worse
This was beautiful, please make this a series. I beg of you.
Oh come on Danny you don't need heatsheilds.
They got back to kerbin, as fine charred dust and smattering of debris. That counts right?
He never said it had to be in one piece 🤷♂️
Like the great Batman once said:
“First try”
Only legends can do it in multiple first trys. lol
@@Al-Mokadimah WORKS ALL THE TIME! most of the time.
This is the content I wish UA-cam would recommend me more
god damn the editing on this is high class.
Ah yes, the fabled heat shield saga.
The editing on this one was on point!
Can we just appreciate how friggin' cool Danny's spaceships look???
3:30
"We still have a half of the ship!"
3:52
"Another happy landing."
4:01
"I'll try spinning - that's a good trick!"
The good Elephant Airship dropped what things?
"Try spinning, that's a good trick"
You know evenly cook everything maybe by a few thousand meters
THE RETURN OF THE KING
Have enough fuel? I've got plenty with the FUEL EXPLOITER you invented!
God, this channel hasn’t aged a day.
So this is how nasa tests their rockets they have
They have Danny test to see if it’s Danny proof
I unironically love this idea. Keeping heatshields in orbit to deorbit large vessels, or to save on vessel complexity. Just launch the heat shields on a different rocket.
Some assembly required.
This is my new favorite trick lol
you're forgetting the part where you have to match speed with the heat shield assembly in order to dock with it.
wich means it's litterally going to be impossible to make it make sence for a mission.
the heat shield can't orbit back and forth between 2 planets. so whatever orbit it's in (either in orbit around kerbin. or in orbit around the star on the same orbit as kerbin). your space ship is going to have to have the delta-v to match it. wich would offweigh the benifits of lithobreaking in the first place.
but if it's in orbit around kerbin then you have already achieved capture.
if it's in orbit around the star. then you might need years and years of time warping or twice the delta-v you would have needed to LAND. to even get back close enoegh to kerbin to aerobrake.
Suggestion: recreate the Felix Baumgartner jump with a Kerbal
Danny, you truly are a genius.
Great content, always happy to see you in my feed
could you please, PLEASE, make this a regular series, i love it.
I think the catching upto it, and docking to it while it is at interplanetary speeds is pretty awesome.
This should be entire series
Props for that intercept by the way. Dunno if doing it in Mun orbit makes it easier or harder but it makes "sense" to do it that way.
This is so helpful! I kept running into this exact problem and had no idea what to do. Now, I know!
I mean, you could just send a small caspsule to orbit to dock with it or...
*This!*
Thinking about it, Danny ought to have put some kind of heavy ballast behind the heat shield in front of the craft. Same principle as a dart. Heavy thing wants to stay in front, light thing wants to stay behind. It'd need a beast of a rocket to take it up though, even if it'd make re-entry a good bit easier. (without the whole song and dance of having to shift fuel)
Okay, to be complete fair this is similar to the issue that happen in the Martian so it's actually not a bad idea but it's also *REALLY* hard to do this because of needing to match speeds so I think Danny actually deserves some credit here.
That orbital docking scene was actually really cool and I thought it was going to work XD
2:14 this is me in space engineers 99% of the time
I made special payload with little utility drone and 10 m wide heat shield. That drone was used on mission and to dock in front with the shield that sounds bit easy but no it taken 1 hour to prepare in VAB and sending refuel station into orbit. Yes you tell that's impossible because of mass but I made special mass container to the heat shield with some aerodynamic. So I had stable reentry and successful flight. It was easy because of DLC I have.
My man is back
Danny, I have to say, this is the best video you've ever made.
3:50 This is why I always put a parachute on my spacecraft.
I'm absolutely here for more gameplay-focused videos!
Love the editing!
For the first 260hrs i played KSP i had NO IDEA how to do the orbital maneuver nodes. I did everything off of guess work aiming at first until i figured out the mechanics it in flight. Made it really hard to get much beyond duna and eve. So much wasted fuel 🤦
TL;DR: Remember parachutes...
This video actually hits home, shortly Before reentry heating was added I decided to do a mission to Gilly. It was early on in the career and I didn't have a lot of parts to work with and only enough fuel to get me back to an aero-breaking altitude. It was at this point I realized I had forgotten the parachutes... So I had to make a rendezvous craft with this monstrosity of large struts radially outward from the center to serve as makeshift airbreaks that were covered in parachutes. Let me tell you, docking this beast with a craft traveling at interplanetary speeds is fucking difficult.
This is a very sick looking spaceplane you made NGL
That was an incredible rendezvous, meeting up with something coming back from Duna in Mun's orbit! Well done, even if the main task took 5 First Tries!
The intro alone was worth the wait :D
It takes real skill to do it in only 5 first trys LOL.
Your music is fantastic.
As a new player, this is the moment where I realize how incredibly far I have to go still, and how I'm utterly out of my depth with the challenges ahead...
but I gotta say, I'm not even mad. I can't stop crying and wheezing right now.
Best way to break bad news to me :P
But, it ain't stupid if it works, right?
Olha só quem eu achei aqui
this is actually super cool as a design !
Jolly good show! XD And the Duna ship looked really good.
"If it's stupid and it works, it is not stupid."
- Sun Tzu or whatever
that intercept next to mün was sick
In so happy you're back Danny
This would make for an epic sci-fi short film
we want more of this series
The editing is on point!
This is the first time danny has done something impressive that isnt breaking the game
Objection! Given the past circumstances, I am still proud of my feat in the ancient "Pod Rescue" video!
As stupid as it was, the execution of this, catching it near the Mun last minute (the velocity difference was incredible), docking it nearly Interstellar-esque style, and saving the whole ship on first try™ made it more impressive than many sci-fi movies.
No joke
Ive had to do this a few times but with a parachute rig cause i keep forgetting parachutes on my landers
This video inspired that
I love this new series
"ANTI-NOMINAL" is my new favourite phrase.
To be honest this is like a really good solution for those moments where you DON'T have enough fuel to slow down enough. It could use some drag on the back, perhaps using hinges to create Heat shield ailerons?
I've had great success using a copious amount of airbrakes for DunaKerbin aerobraking. Usually need to do a few passes and I leave the craft in orbit. Design landers to land, transfer ships to transfer is my philosophy.
now I'm 100 percent convinced that danny is actually not a human but he's a kerbal who escaped the kerbol system and came to earth, remember that ufo video released? yea that's our boi danny
It may have been a solution in search of a problem but damn did you make it look good!
From the first look at the thumbnail, I thought it was a piece of toast on the front of the craft. I have to say, reality is quite disappointing. Orbital toaster when?
Anything is an orbital toaster if your re-entry is steep enough.
stick the bread on the front. done... VERY well done XD
Just like how any machine is a smoke machine if you use it wrong enough.
"Coming in hot" at its correct meaning/description
This reminds me of one time when I forgot to put a parachute on a mun lander and still didn't have space walk and claws unlocked so I made a cage out of girders with landing legs as a door and caught the lander to bring it back safely. And then I sped up the time and lander flew out of the cage with no collision thing and then I had to catch the lander all over again during the reentry.
Unnecessary stupid solution.
I LOVE IT.
Don't think I didn't see the "This is fine." meme! XD
danny, u should make the heat shield a foil wrap for the shuttle so no matter how crazy it goes, your ship will still be safe
very impressive rendez-vous ngl
4:00 I'll try spinning, that's a good trick!
Heat shield: *fails*
Kerbal engineers: What if we spin it like a rotisserie chicken?
why are there so many people making jokes about the spinning?
you guys realise spin stabalisation is a verry verry real thing right?
"I bet I can do this first try!"
Top ten lines said moments before disaster
Danny is back at it again!
The true Galaxy Fold
3:26 I guess you lost your Nervs
i love the music so much it shows that something bad is gonna happen
Danny's use of the music from epidemic sound is criminally underrated. I'm no shill, but holy FUCK that Kevin Macleod music was getting on my fucking nerves with every other KSP video.
Danny? Making something that’s technically useful? Impossible.
I want this to be a series like Blunderbirds but with more episodes
4:00 "Try spinning, that's a good trick"
At least you're trying Danny. Most people don't bother trying :)
The legend returns. I'm guessing all the glitches have finally been fixed...🤣🤣🤣
Brilliant to see you uploading a new series dude. Thank you, I always love your videos.
classic Danny2462 solutions
we need that... MORE
Really cool idea!
Plan A: STRUTS!!!!!!!!
Plan B: MOAR BOOSTERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Space Shuttle Columbia re-entry 2003 Colorized
here we see a beautiful flower :'))
Excellent Windows Startup Noise
Thanks to the new update, this is now easier!
This ia better than some cartoons!
Danny is pretty epic ngl
Yeah but make a cost comparison... (Carrer mode)
What is more worth, to send a heat shield to space on a separate vessel etc.
and don't save fuel for slowing down so you can make a smaller spacecraft to complete your mission
Also, the heat shield may be as an aditional thing to no-return mission, I mean bringing something to mun, or bringing something heavy to orbit and then going to mun
Then it might be worth it.. Need to bring a large lab? Grab this heat shield aswell, its then a nice idea
Nice series!
