Nice, always like seeing Duna SSTOs in 1.0!
Le all mighty Matt Lowne!
@Cameron Putt noice
*Make an SSTO of 218 t, barely making it to the muns*
*See this video*
*Flip the table*
made an ssto. it looks like a rocket. barely made it to space and barely recovered it *flips ksc*
+Jeff Bergeron Makes an SSTO, Barley can make it to space, can't make it to orbit, 300 tons throws all the furniture in room out the window.
+Jeff Bergeron Tries to make SSTO to the shore from KSC
Gives up, plays minesweeper
actually making a ssto big is bad. my first ssto is 20t and can reach only a low orbit space station
+Jeff Bergeron 218 tons is actually your problem, aim for 10-40 ton range.
I wish my friends played Kerbal. Then they would understand how amazing this video actually is...
this video is beyond awesome in every single aspect. Editing. Soundtrack. Contents. Just wow.
Hariz Izzudin I know, right?
+AIM_SideWinder I just crashed a munar lander on the mun. And he landed a plane with winglets and 4 units of fuel. This is like me and my dota skills compared to any internationals player.
Nico Sänger I sent a goddamned satellite to Eeloo and I was like "I'm done" and then I figured out that I still haven't done spaceplanes/ssto lol
I built a space shuttle which launches quite well, but I can't get it into an orbit though...
I tried to make it as realistic as possible by using monoprop for orbital manoeuvres but I haven't quite cracked it yet. :)
It just struck me how amazing the concept of lining up with a runaway from a quarter the way around a planet is... o.o
And I thought I was a pro when I managed to put a probe around Duna ;_;
and I thought I did it when I sent my New Korizon spacecraft to Eeloo. gotta learn how to ssto next
And I thought I was pro for flybying the Mün with a 30 part 40 ton spaceship...................
i thought i was a pro when i landed a probe on duna, it wasn't even meant to land.
+Lalsay i thought i was a pro when i assembled a ship in orbit (huge) attached a lander(heavy) landed on duna, docked again and came home alive.... then i see this....
I put 2 probes at the same flight ! 1 on Duna and another one on Ike !! Non-man vehicle.
Now I need a video about Duna and back
"See this video
"Flip the table
I... I have no words.
+Jonah Beale (RCFlyer) But you just spoke...
+Paistin Lasta Im quite sure he typed instead of speaking
James Hart sorry dad
+Jonah Beale (RCFlyer) Banana !!!
here's a word for ya... damn
Did someone say something about pilot error? That's my specialty!
I can't imagine how many quicksave reloads you needed to pull this off...
Oh god ... that Duna landing nearly drove me to madness !
Turbo Pumped But you pulled through in the end. Kudos to you man :D
you could spin around 2-5 times to slow down
Holy CRAP!!!! But it makes total sense. With the nuke now being able to run on LF alone, and the craft being so lightweight, the Delta V on that thing would be awesome! Question, have you tried it with the Rapier Engines yet? They can stay on air breathing mode for longer higher, or at lest that's what I've experienced. :)
yes i got a rapier version too, and it got the exact same delta V as the jet - the jet compensates for lower speed with lighter weight and slightly less fuel consumption in this case. So i choose the jet since its a lot cheaper : )
+Turbo Pumped ahh.. i see. :)
+Turbo Pumped ...seriously, how do you people do this?! I can make a rocket that can do too laythe sure...but...seriously...I have yet too make a working SSTO. whats the secret?
+Vaos Human I seriously was wondering wtf all you guys were saying GG too with seeing he didn't have oxidizer! Well played Turbo well played. I tend to not use them myself so didnt realize the change
+ronger97
I usually use as small wings as i can and with little or no control surfaces and let the reaction wheels do most of the control (demands careful balancing) - this aproach doesnt work well for longer heavier ships though .
then I angle the wings slightly so the fuselage goes paralel with the airstream.
But how you fly the plane is perhaps even more important.
This ascent profile usualy works well for me :
let the plane build up speed to 300 m/s after taking off, then pull up to a 30 degree climb,
flatten out at 7000 m and let the plane build up speed to 700 m/s then pull up to a 10-15 degree climb till it reaches 22000 meters then activate the nuke .
Me: getting to the moon and back, Thinking I was pro. Then watching this and spend the th rest of the day crying in the corner.
I'm guessing English isn't your first language, because you tend to make some common errors people learning it do. some tips for the future:
-you often say 'have' when you mean 'has' (you put "the midget have landed", when it should be "the midget has landed")
-generally, in English there is no space between the end of a sentence and the exclamation mark!
- 'is' comes after singular, 'are' after plural (genedin's trials ARE not over yet)
-when referring to somebody's thing (genedin's trials) you add an apostrophe before the 's' to indicate that they are genedin's trials.
didn't see much else in this video, but hopefully these help with making the text on future videos!
They aren't error, that is wit...
Sorry for the late reply, actually, REALLY SORRY COZ I AM 1 YEAR LATE!
RancidMarshmallow pretty sure nobidies here for an English lesson
*me to friends* : „I just made the smallest ssto to Duna and back."
Friend sends link to turbo pumped's video
10 minutes later
I throw my keyboard out the window...
0:23 RIP EARDRUMS. Seriously i almost had it on full volume.
+Harvey Van Zoelen Yes. I was definitely not expecting that.
+Harvey Van Zoelen I was going to post the same thing :)
So you strapped a jet engine on a nukestick* an hoped it would work? Nice.
*totally real term for a capsule-fueltank-radiation hazard configuration
+Etropalker lol
I read nudestick
Who are these people down-thumbing this video?
people that dont believe science
+Piotrek127 the dialogue most likely
+Piotrek127 They turned their phone upside down and liked again via thumbs up button
They are the people which do not like the game, thumbs down to be the first or one of the only people to do it, do it to be edgy or simply down-vote because of stupid reasons like "they couldn't of done that".
The ones who couldn't.
2:19 I felt my heart sink. There's no way somebody could land a glider at that speed. And then you did it.
Had I not seen the video, I would not have believed this to be possible.
You, sir, have just won the Scott Manley Trophy For Best F*cking Space Flight Ever
this is awesome, but why didn't you use the mk1 cockpit instead of this one?
The comand pod is much lighter
and what about using the inline cockpit and another intake?
The inline cocpit produced too much drag at high angle of attack on my little SSTO , and flipped it over.
It also have lower heat tolerance than the command pod .
The command pod is simply the superior choice for small SSTOs, it doesnt create more drag either - strangely enough .
Turbo Pumped interesting, thanks
+Turbo Pumped the lander can is even lighter and you can just put a standard nose cone on it
0:23 I was turning up the volume to see if it was muted cause you were playing no sound and that part came in and I was like MY EARS
13 years? that's the kind of time typically need to get to *Eeloo* and back. Why did he have to wait so long to complete the mission?
+Locutus Borg He missed his optimal window for a return trip to Kerbin. The planets only line up perfectly very rarely and he had no fuel to spare for a less than optimal window.
+Piecrab he could maybe have tried an assist from Ike?
ObfuscatingUsername
Unlikely. Scott Manley already pointed out how ineffective Munar slingshots are around Kerbin, since a ship moving on an escape trajectory passes through the Mun's gravity too quickly to experience any significant acceleration, and Ike's gravity is even weaker than the Mun's.
ah yes, I now recall watching that a long time ago. Thanks
Yesterday I made a simple SSTO plane and I was soo happy!
But after your video! Well done mate!
what's the "roller coster planes"
Prob a flag from a previous mission
Oh. My. God.
You sir, deserve 999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999+infinity subscribers. And you deserve, me. As a subscriber.
I. Love. You. (No homosexual)
Thanks, for all the cool rockets, gonna make a 500 meter tall one if I can!
u no tel pysics wat to do
Translation: (for people who are 15 or older sorta) You don't tell physics what to do.
Physics is physics, physics does whatever it wants. IT'S physics.
+The TNT HIPPIE 999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999+infinity is infinity
yes you can
I want to kill myself infinity is a number but it is not a known one the word 'infinity' is used as a sort of shortcut as the full number of 'infinity' is extremely large therefore it would make no sense to say the whole number. i tried to explain it as simple as i could
as i don't know your level of intellect. this last sentence was not meant as an insult
now that you were talking about infinity, there is a great chance for you guys to learn something new, on youtube, watch "how to count past infinity" by Vsauce
Well. I can't even make an SSTO of any size. Fuck.
Ikr...
well, it isn't that hard to make an ssto, but an ssto that isn't useless is a little harder.
mine can make lko w.o. cargo and no further so what's the point in using it?
XBRT
a space station can still serve as a refuel station, so if you keep most of the tanks you launched with and refuel them there, you can go far.
XBRT put a fuel tank on your station
XBRT just try to keep things modular and don't go too big from the start. You're not actually gonna use it THAT much.
like for (runs out of fuel)
Holy... wow.. I can't even make a decent SSTO. I managed to get to minmus and back, but that's all. And it was a heavy, 80 ton fuel cemetery.
Feel like I just watched an ad for a Russian fighter jet. Only the plane in this vid didn't explode.
This is impossible.
Apparently not
It's necessary.
I like how the music start during take off
I like how I heard no music so turned my volume up and then the music started, loudly.
amazing job. while i make huge ass multiplestage rockets just to go to Dune oneway and die there. and thinking i am doing fine. you make this tiny spaceplane for Duna return trip>. lol i am a noob)))
ok... HOW THE.... WAT THE... HOW DID YOU DO THIS D:
Can I please proofread your text before you put it to video? That was awesome to watch but painful to read.
This is the only KSP video that makes me want to do a standing ovation and cry out of astonishment.
its fucking sad! 13 years on a small pod,omg
This is just insane... The furthest I've gotten with an SSTO is Minmus. I could probably make one to get to Duna, but definitely wouldn't get back. Props to you.
Has*
Who ever Dislikes this are the ones who are Envy that he did it.
one thing, I need this game, such cool!
perfect in every way! I can't believe you pulled off a soft landing at duna with those puny winglets *clap clap clap*
How many tries did this take to get right? It doesen't seem believeable as a first attempt. but still, grats to you for making the trip!
First attempt ? only in my dreams ! Had to give up my first mission and redesign the plane with 4 landing gears so it wouldnt constantly tip over after touchdown .
+Turbo Pumped Music ?
THIRTEEN YEARS?! Jeez, that's a small launch/escape window. With a higher budget of fuel it could have been sooner.
You need to keep making stuff like this, try to make it to duna with only 1 liquid fuel engine and then a rocket booster, in 2 stages, rocket booster first of course, if it seems impossible, than go to the moon with it? or Minimus
Funny fact, the F-104, which was also a fast but hard-to-handle plane was also called the 'widow maker'.
Noob, you didn't land on minmus and the mun!
0:23 OW FFF... I just shat my pants...
“Enough delta V on the small rocket” but you have to know how to direct the rocket to reach space or fuel might drain
I can't even aim KSP from LEO let alone from interplanetary flight path idk how.
This is next level OG KSP right here...
Who else saw his fuel refilling in orbit?
At 5:03, more like "since you overshot the main runway Im afraid you have to land at the old airfield.
Great work
It took me my most advanced (I'm not a seasoned player yet) 1000 tonne rocket with a 120+ tonne lander to get to Duna, I lost 2 of my 4 main engines during "landing". It has taken me over 3 Real time days to design and build the ship, constantly testing, constantly fixing. I made it with no refuels. AND I CANT EVEN BRING IT HOME. Fuck. You're too good.
Yeah well......I uhhh....I made an orbital space dick....beat that.
(But honestly this video had me on the edge of my seat,I can barely make a SSTO let alone A DUNA SSTO,great work man)!
P.S I really did make a space dick though.You can see it from KSC on clear nights XD
Instead of taking a rocket to Mars with a Tesla Roadster inside, why not make the Tesla Roadster *the* rocket?
Why did you use four wheels? Couldn't you have saved weight by using one less?
I had 3 wheels on it originally, but it would constantly tip over after touchdown on Duna .
Turbo Pumped
Ah, that explains it. Awesome build.
is english your first language or not because the grammer is wrong and it was the only thing I could focus on
+Niv Shaham That's sad...
+Niv Shaham you fucking spelled grammar wrong
I once got distracted by my cat whilst plotting a burn to the mun, ended up going all the way to minmus by mistake and until it came into view, I had no idea! Needless to say the lack of planned fuel for the return trip meant I had to abandon my rocketplane at about 7,000m on Kerbin and splash down next to the KSC using just poor Jeb's jetpack fuel to slow him down. He survived, but all the science he collected was lost!
4 units of fuel couldn't of lasted that long
I once screwed around in the games code and created an engine that has so high of an isp that it uses 0.0 electric charge per second (just electric)
fuck this i'm buying a space plane and spend my holidays on mars . SO LONG EVERYONE!
btw how do you come up with these mad ideas. and how mad would you have been if you ran into ike and you forgot to save?
great job, I can never even get an SSTO into Kerbin Orbit. let alone making a trip to another planet with it
YOU!!! What am I supposed to tell Werner *now*? "Oh, we're not possibly read for a manned interplanetary flight Werner, the astronauts will just have to wait a few more years while we refine our techniques and tests." crap. I'll have to try something now. lol
I felt this way when I did my tylo landings. I had a ship that could land anywhere. The catch is, BARELY on tylo. It took me about 50 tries to get it to land on tylo in testing, and 2 vehicle swap-out with the mothership to get one that worked. I could probably send you the craft file link, to see if you wanted to try...
:D Your subs are growing fast!
Thanks, i thoroughly enjoyed that. How long do you think the landing roll on Duna was?
Color me impressed. I've tried similar engine combos for an SSTO but never anything nearly that small, thus never with anywhere near that range. And I can barely believe you were able to put it down on a runway with the last drop of fuel like that. Hats off sir.
Good job. Love people doing stock challanges. And the craft/mission seems to be not too unrealisitic. Except the duna landing maybe ;-)
Wow...
I have to say this is impressive. I think my last multi launch, multi stage rocket to Duna weighed a couple of thousand tons, rofl :p
OMG... how do you calculate your deltaV margins so tightly? what mods do you use for information/engineering/planning?
I'm just going to pick up my jaw from the floor
Genedin's response to the ssto launching though.
"aaaAAAA I WASNT EXPECTING IT TO BE THIS FAST"
Wau
I think : When you were at free space , you restart the game , activate hyperedit , do little magic , again restart game and contenue in mission. Its the only way , how to do it.
Only joking , great work.
Genedin and Hilbella should be reaaaaally be old. Too bad Bobdous died early in his life :(
How?! How cash he play KSP so well i can't even roundevou let alone do this
my vocabulary isnt rich enough to describe how amazing and insane this is. im playing ksp since 0.19 and i must admit you are ksp god. moooooreeeeeee!
I never understood this- why accelerate to ~1000 mps while still in the upper atmosphere? Wouldn't that waste dV?
This must be magic! How can you build a spaceplane this small?! I tried it many times, but I always failed...
This was so impressive and manly I think I was probably impregnated watching this video. I'm a dude.
This is amazing!
I built two space station In order to get to duna...But this...
Great landing skills!
a useful thing to remember for emergency needs for a few extra m/s is the EVA fuel. It feels ok to use one tank at least. More than that is a bit cheaty though ;p
I enjoyed watching this.
One thing I like to do is use rover wheels on struts as landing gear. Struts on their own are more than enough, but someone tell me why rover wheels have such a high impact tolerance
at the beginning of the video u wasted fuel trying to pull up but that craft was not able to pull up and u managed to lift of only at the end of the runway... u wasted a little bit of speed :D that could of been helpfull
NASA took spaceman travel to mars in 6 months. KSP took kebral travel to Duna in 6.5 years travel lol
Ah yes the solar Eclipse Don't wait about 60 to 70 years for one Just go on KSP and fly at a point u can see it
kip really makes you forget how long your actually sending kerbals to sit in a small can i space for the perfect maneuver
wait, you could have used the jet engine to cushion the duna landing right? it would have been much more efficient.
What an epic conclusion. Be honest, you were hoping for fuel cut-off on touchdown, weren't you?
i cant even get a rocket to duna
I refuse to believe any of these. have you even posted this to the facebook page or something? they'll love this omg
Genedin lost it at 5:13
the closest i got was making an SSTO orbit around the Mun and come back, much less land on duna
what is that air breathing engine with the jagged exhaust shape? it's not in my client but I see everyone using it.
This is so fucking epic! Nice editing and music choice, i always get goosebumbps!
Next time please make a real movie, or is it just a trailer :-) I have seen movies with less entertainment than this one.
HOLY SH*T MAN!!!its f*ckin awsome...
Wow cool. You should have dropped the jet after takeoff though to save you the delta V for those tn years
And I've sent a 27 ton SSTO to Duna with too many landing attempts, yay me
It amazes me how you can do that and I can barely get a craft to the mun with 10x as much fuel
I'm speechless
Yet you just said something
Collin Thompson I am amazed that you could watch something so amazing and can still make rude cheeky ass comments
I thought it was a joke but m'kay.
Wow, I love that you ran out of fuel less than a second before touchdown. Bravo!
Great video, but the one thing that bugs me is that you used the word 'have' instead of 'has'.
