  • Today, we'll be meandering down the fascinating pages of alternate history, as we set to recreate the Hermes/Columbus program proposed by the ESA from the 1970s-1990s! Today, we'll be building the most ambitious version of the ESA Space Station!

    irl you make a payload for a rocket, in ksp, you make a rocket for a payload.
    ksp makes it so you have few constraints for a payload, it's just "can you get it to where it needs to be without crashing the game"
    always good to see when people try using the same rocket for different payloads.

    You should get RealPlume. It's entirely compatible with waterfall. Waterfall configs take priority over RealPlume configs, so if an engine has both it will use the waterfall configs. Since waterfall doesn't have SRB configs the srb plumes don't look the best, so RealPlume will solve that.

    I think spacecraft docking automatically is pretty realistic. Even on Mir that was done. And when it wasn't it was almost a disaster.
    It's less fun though.
    also a shame the US didn't have the idea earlier to share missions and costs with others like Europe. Maybe Apollo wouldn't have had to die.

    4:55 Late to the party, but I've gotten to creating these little 'probe-ports' and sending stacks of them up with my stations. Like tiny, tiny tugs to swivel around and help move bits and bobs about (some with alternating sides if I need to convert port sizes). Could have done something similar with that escape pod just to have it stacked up before flight, and then reorientate it once in orbit. Love these videos! You've made me a MUCH better ksp player by watching these, so thank you!!!

      @@harcourtfentonmudd7980 I use Kerbin orbit space stations as a way-station for Kerbal rescue contracts. It has docked with it a very lightweight orbital rescue ferry with just command seats that rendezvous with the rescued Kerbals and brings them back to the station to wait for return to the surface.
      Since the rescue ferry only carries a couple of Kerbals it can fill up at the station using very little fuel and then go and collect some more. It can easily go out to the Mun or Minmus for rescues and circularize again back at LKO since it's mostly pure delta-v. Once I've got about eight Kerbals collected on the station I send up a return/reentry craft to refuel the station and then bring the Kerbals down all at once.
