Me: KSP is a very hard game that takes a lot of planning, creativity, and skill to execute a successful mission Bradley Whistance: hehe twin boar engine go brrrrrr
Knowing that he mentioned the new native Kerbal Inventory system, I wouldn't be surprised if he could do this just by packing a Kerbal's inventory with small tanks and engines.
@@AirmetSierra Does it still count as a fly-by if it included smashing most of your rocket into the surface? Maybe that one is just a really long bounce? A bounce-by?
Concept: a maximalist grand tour. Go everywhere in the solar system in the shortest in-game time possible, completely disregarding efficiency and elegance for the sake of raw speed. What’s the point of fancy gravity assists if they make the mission take a hundred years?
Maybe Matt Lowne could collaborate and do a Blunderbirds rescue mission for Bill Kerman. This would be unique because usually the Kerbals he save have a rocket on the surface with not enough Delta-V, broken parts, or other issues. This could be a great opportunity for unique missions like an air rescue mission with a helicopter basket and that turns into a rocket/spaceplane at high altitudes. Just some food for thought.
Matt pretty much only does boring/easy missions (same for Scott Manley). Sure, his crafts look nice, but Bradley Whistance or Stratzenblitz execute much more mind boggling missions.
Drop a supply pod from orbit with the most minimal equipment needed for Bill to build a craft for the return to Kerbin. Bonus points if you can do it with Sepratrons and a Flea.
I find it hard to believe that command pod actually survived Eve reentry. Even a reentry from low Eve orbit can easily chew through heat shield. I'm really curious how this was done.
@@plvmbvm513 the problem is the cubed law, as you increase surface area you increase volume exponentially. The surface area of a paper airplane is going to have to burn through the energy of all the mass behind it, also it has poor thermal conductivity so the heat built up wont have anywhere to go and be more likely to create a hot spot which in turn would cause a failure faster. A parachute would work better, with the astronaut lowered slightly in orbit from ejecting his spacecraft and just barely skimming the atmosphere, a very large parachute with probably a balloon skeleton to keep it wide open, something large enough to scrap enough energy off quickly enough that you aren't dropper into thicker atmosphere at a high speed. A secondary and tertiary backup parachutes for landing would also be needed, but the weight of the EVA suit would mean they're likely to suffer injury unless landing in the water, though that may pose it's own problems.
Actually there's three people who has access to their entire nervous system. That last person was me when I realize I have an essay due in six hours and I haven't even started yet.
Fantastic! Found this channel about a month ago and watched the whole back catalogue. Been waiting for the next video and it finally delivers! Thanks 👍 keep doing what you do
You could try a minimalist mission using the Outer Planets Mod. All the planets either have lots of moons (Sarnus and Urlum) or are incredibly far away (Neidon and Plock). You could also try Alternis Kerbol, a planet pack that re-arranges the orbits and sizes of the stock planets. (Kerbin is now a moon of Jool, Tylo has ~37m/s surface gravity and Eve is moonless, albeit with cool rings).
I give up It's not fair how can you do something so simple yet so amazing why Waaah 2 parts, theres no way anyone can beat that Great work, I look forward to your videos
I recommend that you go to Tylo and back, but you cannot land on Tylo with any parts you took off with and you can't land on Kerbin with any parts you took off Tylo with unless the parts were never taken out of a container before. You'd have to assemble three crafts with only the parts that you brought in boxes, which might be an interesting challenge. Like if you agree!
Bradley, I'd like to first mention that this is seriously one of the impressive things that I've ever seen in KSP. However, I did a 2 part mission to LKO awhile ago, and it's on my channel. I'd just like to put it out there. Not like it's very impressive or anything, but I tried.
I just got to Eve for the first time with four stages and barely got a probe in orbit. It took me two hours of constant quick loading to get it right. I was feeling proud of myself, you just put me to shame...
A Kerbal with the new EVA canisters has a total delta v of about 960m/s, giving the craft an effective delta v of 2004 m/s from LKO with the twin boar + EVA pack, this is enough for a one way mission to: The Mun Minmus (You can actually get back to Kerbin but without a parachute you won't be able to land) Gilly Ike Duna (Technically, again with the return from Minmus you lack a parachute and thus won't be able to land) Eve (Again through you don't have a parachute) And you can do flybys of: Dres Jool Moho Perhaps using gravity assists you could capture into Jool orbit but you won't have enough fuel to land anywhere Moreover these values don't account for the fact that you can fully refill your EVA pack by getting back into the command pod, technically you could go anywhere by getting out and pushing but that feels kinda cheaty
I have 2 suggestions for minimalist missions: 1) Get to kerbin orbit using the minimum amount of deltav (Leads to an interesting ascent profile. Very toasty.) 2) I heard someone is stranded on Eve, after budget cuts meant that their craft was only allowed to include 2 parts. Maybe do something about it? Without using too many parts. Wouldn't want to waste Kredits.
I always wanted to see the potential of a "handmade spaceship" put a bunch of spaceship parts in the containers, and assemble a fully functional spaceship in space using the EVA function. I did this, managed to get from low kerbin orbit to the surfice of the Mun and then back to an elleptical orbit of kerbin (I was dumb and wasted too much and got stranded there)
minimalist mission of going to jool directly without gravity assist of eve-Kerbin-Eve-Kerbin². Just go direct. Gravity assist of mun/minmus/Jool moons allowed of course.
I wonder if it is possible to land a kerbal and a lot of part containers on the surface of Eve, and have that kerbal assemble a vehicle capable of returning them to Kerbin...
Absolutely amazing run through the planets with such advanced techniques! New to your channel but already busy binge watching the odyssey video series xDD Side note: Would you think it possible to recreate the "CL 1201 Aircraft carrier" design in KSP and if so would you try it out as a challenge?
great video as always. As for ideas, here's one (not fitting your minimalist series though). I was recently trying to build a stock walking robot and see how fast it could walk. My limitation was that the walking style should be akin to an animal. It proved quite hard to get decent speeds, mine topped out at maybe 7 m/s. Maybe you wanna give a shot at this? Loads of engineering problems: kinematics, KAL programming, material of the feet, steering, stability... This could also developed into a monte carlo challange, for instance time to walk down the runway. What do you think?
Maybe for a new mission you could continue doing minimum launch part missions, but you can build whatever you want once you get to orbit using your inventory
You could but a parachute for the craft into the inventory of a kerbal (I think) and then do the same thing again but when you break off the engine you can Eva and add the parachute... Then it's technically still 2 parts
I remember the time when someone did a 250 part to eeloo (turbo pumped) Meanwhile budget rocket designer: why not strap a booster to this crew capsule instead? This took two hours to type because of typos
Bro can u send me the craft file

love your videos man, keep them up
You make every craft I've ever built a literal joke... how is this even possible?
Welcome back, happy new year
Lithostaging! That was great! 😄
Definitely high points in the interesting missions category.
Idea: Put a single twin-boar, Make a kerbal EVA on top of the twin boar, then use the kerbal to control, *but it cant really get anywhere past orbit*
Happy Lunar New Year! Well done!
I give up
It's not fair
how can you do something so simple yet so amazing
why
Waaah
2 parts, theres no way anyone can beat that
Great work, I look forward to your videos
First i thought it will be 2 parts to Eve and back and I wasn't even suprised considering who uploads the video.
Now build the most minimalist rescue mission! We can't just leave Bill on the grilling surface of Eve!
Therapist: Lithostaging isn't real, it can't hurt you

awh... poor Bill. Hope you rescue him!
Do I hear Blunderbirds?
A Kerbal with the new EVA canisters has a total delta v of about 960m/s, giving the craft an effective delta v of 2004 m/s from LKO with the twin boar + EVA pack, this is enough for a one way mission to:
The Mun
Minmus (You can actually get back to Kerbin but without a parachute you won't be able to land)
Gilly
Ike
Duna (Technically, again with the return from Minmus you lack a parachute and thus won't be able to land)
Eve (Again through you don't have a parachute)
And you can do flybys of:
Dres
Jool
Moho
Perhaps using gravity assists you could capture into Jool orbit but you won't have enough fuel to land anywhere
Moreover these values don't account for the fact that you can fully refill your EVA pack by getting back into the command pod, technically you could go anywhere by getting out and pushing but that feels kinda cheaty
Can’t wait to see if you can do random exploits with the new part building in space to get a really minimal craft!
Can you provide a craft file? I can't figure out how to build it :(
I found the craft file. I can give it to you if you want. The real question is how do I fly it?
i know, it's so complex that i can hardly keep track.
oof i dont know either
Truly amazing that some "people" would do this awesome thing
I think the most obvious thing to build with inventory is an Eve-Kerbin return vehicle.
good luck getting home.
