Hey everyone! Thanks so much for 11000 subs! Some of you have asked if you can have a craft download, and now that is finally here! Download the Artificial Gravity Station pack here: www.dropbox.com/sh/6e6lvkjnjwg3tx5/AAC797wJ5izX-saQoKQ2EWvSa?dl=0 It includes 3 crafts; the SSTO by itself, the SSTO + Artificial gravity station, and the Hermes 2 crew SSTO. Please note, these crafts have not been altered for the best user experience. They are the raw crafts shown in the video; bugs and quirks included.
+ Submarine in the Sky KSP is actually surprisingly stable; I've had very few crashes while launching this thing. The only issue is that it takes forever (of course).
I mean pretty sure the launcher was designed solely for this mission, so I think the correct term would be recoverable. A launcher that's actually reusable would be the one in the solar station video.
@@Name-nw9uj uhh no, if they can reuse it its reusable, but they dont have to reuse it for it to be called reusable, any spacecraft that lands on earth is recoverable.
Cutting a journey duration from over 2 years down to 100 days is not "wasted dV". Well in KSP it might be, because you can just timewarp, but in that case there's no point in making a rotating space station either.
of course, in real life it may make sense occasionally. the crew has the chance of going stir-crazy otherwise, as well as cosmic radiation limits being a factor, so there'l be a tipping point where the extra necessary weight radiation shielding will outweigh the necessity fuel boosted to LEO. 100 days is still ludicrous.
This video just kept getting more epic and more impossible every minute. Fantastic. Wow that's a large rocket, wait, it's an SSTO? It's reusable? He's going to land it?!! RIGHT NEXT TO KSC!?!?!?!?!? And it just keeps getting better, hats off to you.
I particularly enjoy the practical and realistic engineering involved in this mission. So often I see people send Jeb to laythe and back in a rapier and ion powered tin can that weighs less than my toyota over the course of a century, and while that's fun to watch, it's hardly realistic. This mission however, had a practical artificial gravity station with large crew spaces, as would likely be required for such a mission, and an extremely short crew travel time. The only thing I think could've been improved upon would be the launch spacing could've been more efficient. It's possible you could've had all 3 vehicles on a trans eloo trajectory at roughly the same time, minimizing the amount of time the mission would take. That being said, I can understand why you tackled the 3 stages of the mission individually, one at a time, given that all of them had totally different types of trajectories (one asteroid capture prior to intercept, one efficient intercept, and one minimum time intercept). That would've been hard to juggle. The idea of using an ateroid or other object as a counterweight, and a source of resources, is particularly intriguing. In real life, it would be quite technically challenging. At that distance, objects would be mostly rocky ice. And many small objects like that are only loosely held together gravel. One would have to specifically select an object that is a soild piece to avoid the structural failure of the object under load. Few would be able to stay in one piece under one G. That could be solved by selecting an object that far out masses the crew cabin, such that it could rotates far closer to the center (and therefore is subjected to a far smaller force). Is this idea already a thing? If not, maybe you should bring it up with a nasa representative.
Thanks! I had a lot of fun planning and building this mission out. Its an idea I've thought about for a long time as well. You see artificial gravity rings being built all the time in KSP, but the problem I see with these designs is that their radius is far too small to provide comfortable living. The extreme acceleration gradient between your head and feet in say, a 10 meter radius ring, would cause unbearable nausea, among other things. (Check out Project Rho www.projectrho.com/public_html/rocket/artificialgrav.php, they give a good explanation of the problems with small artificial gravity rings) So, I thought why build a small ring, when you can use that same material to build a small arc segment with a huge radius? As for the launch spacing, I actually had a good window to have all 3 crafts going out in similar time-frames. I choose not to for the sake of clarity in the video. (Keeping track of 3 different, simultaneous crafts is a good way to lose your audience) I agree with your concerns about an asteroid counterweight. In real life, I don't think they would be worth the hassle. Smaller asteroids will break up under high g's, while large asteroids are bulky and take more fuel to spin up. So, I'd imagine that if you were to build a counterweight in space, you would build a container and fill it with dirt/ice/rocks whatever local materials are nearby. That way, you get to ensure the structural integrity of the counterweight while saving fuel by using local materials. I'm no expert, so I have no idea if that would actually be practical. Truth be told, I only got the asteroid because it looks cool, and I never found a magic asteroid before.
Another alternative to the asteroid/container of gravel as a counterweight would of course be just another hab segment - though you might want to make the individual ones smaller than, in order to keep launch masses... somewhat reasonable. Another thing that approach allows you to do, if you design your hub with enough docking ports, is to have a rotating hab that you can gradually expand into a full ring - though of course you need to spin it down for each expansion.
Stratzenblitz75 So long as the object were a high enough mass, under a low enough load (let's say the object is 20 times heavier than the hab, it could be subjected to only .05 G's in order to generate 1 G in the hab), and also were a single fused piece (which would require particular care when choosing the type of object. There are some objects with structural integrity like that, just not all of them), it should be possible. I don't know about the basket idea, given the strength the structure would be required to have. I'm aware of the tidal force issue. It's why I'm not the hugest fan of gravity rings, as cool as they'd be. I once made a simple test ship to see if I could make a stock hinge. I figured the best use of it would be to make artificial gravity on it. I put a pair of habs sticking out just 7 meters apart from ceiling to ceiling (only 3.5 meter radius to the ceiling of each hab). I managed to get it spun up to about 0.3 Gs (mars gravity), but by that point, it was nearly tearing itself apart from oscillations due to the speed at which it had to be spun. It definitely wasn't a viable option. The Problem with giant rings is that they can be way too big for the mission at hand... Which is why I find the ark solution to be interesting, particularly when using a heavier counterweight to lower the total size of the structure. I'm guessing you had to run the calculations before hand with a particular size and mass object in mind before hand to properly place the docking port in the center of rotation, yes? Also, how did you do the door thing for the SSTO? I've seen a couple youtubers do that with the fairings, but I've never figured out how to do it myself. Zuthal Soraniz I like that actually. You'd be able to get a station operational early in its design, and add on to it later, despite being an artificial gravity station. Zutaca I was about to say that, with current materials technology, it would be difficult to make a container to hold the debris should a one-piece asteroid fall apart, given the forces involved. A net made of carbon nanotubes may actually be a viable option, given its strength, the fact that it spreads the weight evenly, and given that such a net would probably have a small enough weave to prevent debris from slipping through.
Don't you love it when you're amazed about a ship bigger than a airport only for that airport sized shipped to SPEW OUT A RUNWAY SIZED SPACESHIP THAT EJECTS A SMALL MOTHERSHIP SIZED SHIP!

+ QualifiedESA Engineer Not quite the largest rocket built in KSP. At 17 kilotons, its up there, but not as big as my Duna^3 rocket, or Turbopumped's rockets. As for a name, I think I prefer my development name for the lifter: "SSTO BIG 8 PHILLED UP" JK, "Star Lifter" is a fine name for the rocket.

“yeah lemme almost slam into this planet real quick and just barely make it out of the canyon just to pick up a fucking asteroid and make a gravity ring orbiting the farthest planet from the sun oh and do it in one launch
because unless you knew the mass of the asteroid when you were building the rocket, you will need to pick one larger than the counterweight you need to get the rotational center perfect around the docking port, and mine it down so that when the whole thing is assembled you are within a close enough range that the rest of balance can be done with fuel transfers. Other than that, the dock port would be all sorts of weeble wobbles.

Haven't played ksp in years, have never watched one of your videos before. This randomly popped up in my feed and I must say you have earned my sub. Absolutely fantastically put together video.
"He can't land that, there's no way, he's nutts"

"Oh my god he's landing it"
*lands it*

This video is awesome, how have I not subbed to you yet!
Those Meme´s in my head, while i was reading :D
This guy is the most underrated ksp UA-camr that I know of. He needs 100,000 subs just for this video.
Andrew Sandford and that will get him a Silver UA-cam play button.
he now has 134k
The descri🅱️tion is 10/10
There needs to be a 🅱oneless kerbal a mod now. It must be done.

Stratzenblitz75: could this be the new biggest rocket ever built???????)))))))
(And if you already haven't named the lifter, call it.. The "Star lifter"))))
could you translate? I dont speak *I T A L I C S*
+ QualifiedESA Engineer Not quite the largest rocket built in KSP. At 17 kilotons, its up there, but not as big as my Duna^3 rocket, or Turbopumped's rockets.
As for a name, I think I prefer my development name for the lifter: "SSTO BIG 8 PHILLED UP"
JK, "Star Lifter" is a fine name for the rocket. If I ever decide to make a scaled down version that people would find practical, I'll think about using that name.

That shot was badass.
Edit: Okay just finished the video. The whole thing was badass.
why doesn't this guy have millions of subs? he's amazing Jesus christ man
I'm scared to see what he does for 1 mil
A spacecraft the size of the Kerbal system.
So unbelievable! Such awesome shots, it was a big joy to watch this video! well done
2:35
yup, thats gonna slow it right down
me:can barely made functioning SSTO
Stratzenblitz: use SSTO for recruiting kerbals to artificial gravity station using HUGE space rock in Ealoo orbit
And it got there in 100 days. Forgot this "little" detail
SSTO - Single Stage To Ocean

Seriously, do you work at SpaceX ? Nasa ? Cheyenne Mountain ? If not they should really consider giving you a call xDDD
I've watched a lot of "epic" KSP videos, but this is the first one i see from you and ... WOW ! You put me in very difficult position, how will i ever be able to enjoy any other KSP video now that i've tasted that level of awesomeness ? Hahaha
Instant Subscribe !!!
Maybe below Cheyenne Mountain.

@@ballisticfox9033 but achieving them shows you're fairly competent with orbital mechanics and general rocketry. No one would want something this massive because if engines start to fail the whole ship is lost.

You build a freakin huge booster.
AND YOU MADE IT REUSABLE!
BRAVO!
I got hooked on your channel because of this video.
Also, whomever disliked this video needs to give at least a three paragraph essay on why. I don't normally like "techno" music, but his wasn't annoying, he had great editing, the content was entertaining and left you wanting to know how it ended, there was even some humor. This video was better than most of Matt Lowne, Scott Manley, and Kottaboss's videos.
9:10 oh, I just realised *again* that you are the coolest youtuber
Wait
Orange text???

Does he post on "that website"?????
We all play with Playmobil while he mastered Lego Technic
Jonas Lehmann I like Lego
Your cinematic shots of this send chills up my spine.
Are you kidding me? :) Amazing!!!
It gives me goosebumps just to imagine what KSP2 will let us do.
That moment you realize that Stratz's VAB physically works the same way as the TARDIS, considering that it's larger on the inside than it is on the outside
Amazing
Hooray! Now Jeb will never have to enter that fidget spinner competition to get his brother some new bones!
waht

Most youtubers do Q & A's for sub specials, and you build seemingly impossible things for ordinary people. A* for effort and A* for execution, absolutely amazing.
i was rearing to take this one apart until i realized it was about the well rounded use of a software program and not actually supposed to be real. excellent job!
2 or 4 Asteoids put together for a big Spaceport and Mining Station pls like so he sees it
I kept thinking of Interstellar when you were docking the crew craft 😊

I'm just shocked at how you do it, just brilliant.
And here I am trying to get into orbit in Kerbin.
Really really really amazing work man, the video, the engineering, the edit everything was great
“yeah lemme almost slam into this planet real quick and just barely make it out of the canyon just to pick up a fucking asteroid and make a gravity ring orbiting the farthest planet from the sun
oh and do it in one launch
HORY SHET
IS THAT a JOJO refrence
sanada bitch
*YARE YARE*
1:49 I love this shot
It's so good
Why would you include mining drills on the counterweight arm? Mining the asteroid would shift the center of mass and cause all sorts of problems.
Scraps Look at it, the center of grsbirt changes, so the docking area slides. Also, the gravity is adjustable with a little bit of fuel.
because unless you knew the mass of the asteroid when you were building the rocket, you will need to pick one larger than the counterweight you need to get the rotational center perfect around the docking port, and mine it down so that when the whole thing is assembled you are within a close enough range that the rest of balance can be done with fuel transfers.
Other than that, the dock port would be all sorts of weeble wobbles.
The ore tanks are close to the roid, so it wouldnt change
it shines through the video that you put so much effort in this 10K special, i just dicsovered your channel and can tell you im impressed
I've dreamed of space construction for literally decades, so the scenes of assembling the station were a special treat for me.
THAT LAUNCH VEHICLE . . . HOLY CRAP!!
What're the specs for that beast? (Part count, payload to orbit, cost in funds, dimensions, weight, ect.)
If he didn't part weld it i'll be surprised.
This could work. NASA should hire you.
The politicians would never pay for it, though
Except this aint real but yeah Real physics concepts can be applied
@@thekornwulf - I mean if I had to choose between new roads, bridges, and many other things or one habitat that doesn't really contribute to the economy, Imma choose the roads.
Military budget......
So, when you reach 1mln subs, you will go to the moon whit a homemade rocket?
Not only are the cinematography shots well made, your designs are original. Love the content
Well done. I cant wait to see what you do in KSP 2.0
Stop close shave the planets, i will make a heart attack XD
Pleas don mek heart attack. ;_;
I have an addiction with orbiting the mun at 6.5 km from sea level. Managed to get a surface sample from orbit once.

You, sir, deserve free KSP DLCs and upcoming related games for your entire life.
You didn't need to flex that hard, how dare you make me feel like a scrub at the game you madlad. I fucking love it.
I can't subscribe because I already am
If only I had enough time and skill
And I liked what you did with your gravity equation, really puts 'engineering' to a new level.
NASA called, they're jealous
Can I get UHHHHHHHHH.... 🅱️oneless Kerbal?
EDIT: This video is awesome!
I'm willing to pay for the premium 120g option
Nico Francis Understood, we'll have that ready for you in a rocket launch
Can’t wait to see what he does at 100,000, because he’s getting damn close!
Holy fuck the cinematic shot of the launch vehicle returning to Kerbin with the Mun in the background
God damn that looked good
8:40 Why do I not hear the interstellar theme? lmao
You have Future in nasa
7:33 I tried an aircraft with similar design with that one... even with careful aerodynamic calculations and PAT (paper airplane test) it is still extremely hard to control.
elevons & reaction wheel spam ftw
Jaw dropping. Great video!
i was very confused on how it was gonna work but you completely blew away my expectations😂 insane build
whats that at 4:01 53o59gy?

Hmm what is the 53o59gy?
