Everyone’s talking about the rocket leaving the water but everything is impressive. The way the entire things filmed, the time lapse, the F-4 phantom is just super duper cool to me
Really cool! The four auxiliary engines actually would have ignited prior to main engine ignition and they would also have been used for orbital insertion. Love it!
I looked through all of the NASA archives of sea dragon and I fond that the 1 in the ksp mod in real life the outer engines were ignited at the same time if this type of sea dragon was built I wish at lest 1 of these big dumb boosters was built and lunched but maybe in the future it will be needed
I love how you recreated the post credits scene from Season 1 of For All Mankind. Everything here is perfect from the F4 to the carrier, the tugs, and of course this beautiful monstrosity.
The ISS Weight is 450 tons and The Sea Dragon can Carry 550 Tons in Low Earth Orbit. It means Not only it can carry the Entire ISS but also it can carry 100 Tons More Payload into LEO. The Sea Dragon Could Open up Everything we dream about Space Exploration.
I love the aesthetic of the video. First you have the F-4 Phantom taking off, giving you the impression what era it should be. And then there it is, The Sea Dragon if it is actually built and launched on that era.
For all mankind inspired and wished the sea dragon was really built Edit: 2:30 me when ksp 2 says that my rocket is to big to launch from the launch pad
It's fun to romanticize the Sea Dragon but it wasn't really feasible. If the program had continued we would have had the Nova series of vehicles instead since they were much more realistic to produce and fly
@@mattsoup4121 Sea Dragon seems more feasible to me than the Space Shuttle and SLS/NLS/Ares. At least it tried to upscale and re-use existing technologies unlike the Shuttle which needed a closed cycle engine, thermal protection and was a death machine if anything went wrong during the launch. While SLS uses existing parts and is safer than the shuttle it is still extremely wasteful to use RS-25s in an expendable configuration. IMO the biggest flaw of the Sea Dragon was not in its design but in the lack of possible payloads that would justify building multi-kiloton launch vehicle. But yeah, it could launch ISS in one go and do it cheaper than using Shuttles, Protons and Soyuzes.
@@ASHDMDSGN Sea dragon wasn't a simple vehicle. The were going to reuse the first stage (which was exceedingly massive). That would've required the biggest parachutes ever made and parachutes get exponentially more difficult to make as they scale up. The biggest difficulty imo would be the first stage engine. The F1 was barely able to achieve stable combustion because the chamber was so massive and now you want this massive engine with a massively larger combustion chamber?
@@mattsoup4121 Well, I don't know why anyone on Earth would want to land it under parachutes.I haven't seen plans for parachutes but I've read about plans to just let it splash down, not use parachutes, simply because tank walls would be made out of 8mm thick steel. I don't think that kind of strength needs any parachutes to survive a splash down, especially knowing that it's drag to weight ratio would be really low due to big empty tanks. Combustion instability isn't that big of an issue as you try to portray it. Theoretical chamber pressure for that nozzle would be 20 atm which is more than 3 times less than 70 atm found in F-1. So yeah, the most absurd thing about this vehicle would be its size which would be manageable by using shipyards rather than traditional rocket manufacturing facilities.
@@ASHDMDSGN I don't have time to argue about this all day, but you're simplifying things that are exceedingly difficult. Also the chutes thing I read somewhere at some point. There's a chance that's wrong, however 8mm thick steel won't be able to handle hitting the ocean at say 50m/s. As you said it's a huge vehicle and hitting the ocean that quickly even with 8mm thick walls will collapse the whole thing. That's just simple material properties and statics.
This was very enjoyable to watch! Beautifully made. And wouldn't it be awesome if this could actually have happened in real life? I think that would be epic!
Just for your information: the bigger a rocket engine is, the bigger problem are the instabilities in the combustion inside. This problem almost killed the F-1 engine, and the Sea Dragon one is more than 6x as big. So sorry - this rocket would've just torn itself apart.
OMG I love this Song! The only problem would be the massive acoustics that would kill incalculable amounts of Sea creatures. If it was put in a man made reservoir it would be perfect.
I love how this channel is like a small community where we have creator-viewer interactions. That is something i hate about the big channels which seam to just do it for the views.
Love this Rocket I would really like t9 build this in real life just for fun. Anyone knows something about how much the developing and building would cost? ;)
@@yourhalfwaygenius8323 around one and a half-billion to 1.75 billion USD for construction and another 2 billion for research, testing and prototyping, adjusted for inflation for 2020, but consider, this is fully reuseable rocket, and there is no launchpad and sound suppression system cost, each Saturn 5 cost 1.2 billion (adjusted for inflation), and one of this, theoretically not practically, can perform all the Appolo missions with minor maintenance. and can lift more than anything ever built, including the space shuttle. so... if you account the cost of the Appolo program and long term required logistics for a moon base, like in For All Mankind, or building something like the ISS, every launch will be much more economic. such a shame never built

For your information, sea dragon doesn't use interstage for the engine and the second stage, it's use that kinda of a like uhmmm, fairing? That can be open in and out hiding the second stage engine, also, your editing skill is godly impressive not gonna lie

Thank You
Matthew Cable no problem. Things a master piece my friend
Kerbal Studio Program
It's CGI, nothing was "filmed."
@@Nerval-kg9sm It was made in a game, called Kerbal Space Program. He used mods for it, if you watched the entire video and saw the end.
As soon as I saw the NASA logo come on screen and “Everbody Wants To Rule The World” by Tears For Fears started playing it was an immediate like.
Overlooked song imo
I want the sea dragon
JUST LOVE IT
@ qqqrrtyop
so much for musical taste !
I'll never get bored of watching that thing slide out of the water on it's way up
We *N E E D* a gif of that part.

@@alloneword7427 me too
The absolute coolest things is when the music starts and the rocket shoots out of the water
sounds gay without context
Video: "The Sea Dragon could launch the entire ISS on a single launch."
Phineas: "Hey Ferb, I know what we are going to do today!"
Mein gott that’s a throwback to my childhood
Yeah
Hahahahaha good old days
oh no
*Mom phinnest And ffffffffffff are....*
*Trying to launch the ISS by using the sea dragon*
Just Old Days,This Video Was Very Cool,Ships,Planes,good Camera View,Keep it Going!
This isn’t just another payload. That thing’s carrying plutonium
haha I understood that reference xD
Matthew Cable me too
That’s why we’re launching from the middle of nowhere KAREN!
What if the sea dragon was real 🤔🤔🤔
Matthew Cable lol just came here after i watched for all mankind
Really cool! The four auxiliary engines actually would have ignited prior to main engine ignition and they would also have been used for orbital insertion. Love it!
Thanks!
Ur wrong thay ignited at the same time as the main engine
@@ciala51 its ignited a few seconds before the massive main engine fires

The fact that the Sea Dragon is capable of taking the entirety of ISS into orbit, just shows how huge the rocket is.
Or 150% of a jestown to the moon
The ISS Weight is 450 tons and The Sea Dragon can Carry 550 Tons in Low Earth Orbit. It means Not only it can carry the Entire ISS but also it can carry 100 Tons More Payload into LEO. The Sea Dragon Could Open up Everything we dream about Space Exploration.
@@gerardanderson9665what if we put the Saturn V IN the sea dragon?
@@pacevy3798mars travel?
Suddenly decided Season 2 needs to have a montage of them prepping, sinking and launching this beast.
Well, they do show the sea dragon launch, twice in fact, but it only shows the launch, not the preparation
hopefully sea dragon comes back in s4
I love the music choice - For All Mankind did brilliantly to inspire this one, I presume
I love the aesthetic of the video. First you have the F-4 Phantom taking off, giving you the impression what era it should be.
And then there it is, The Sea Dragon if it is actually built and launched on that era.
Not gonna lie everything about this slaps. The music, the cinematic, and the little facts at the bottom. Just perfect
Yes, "would of" is peak grammar.
Who else is waiting for all mankind Season 2
supposed to come out this autumn some time
Edward Troth that’s perfect cause ya know we got this Quarantine
@@CanadianAviation12 they've released a couple of trailera

Spectacular job!
The Sea Dragon would have been soo crazy!

can we see a full mission later?
I really want to see
Maybe
I'm just impressed with how good your F-4 clone was. That's really impressive for a Kerbal creation!

Why is the song “everybody want to rule the world” replayed to the sea dragon? I have no clue I see it with it everywhere.
cooldloop it’s a reference to a TV show xD
Matthew Cable ok thanks.
@@cooldloop2381 the show is called For All Mankind this was in last episode :)
@@cooldloop2381 how about you read the comments first to find a clue and then google it? Life isn't presented on a silver plate.
for all mankind, as a engineer and a history buff, I think it is amazing, underrated
Best choice of music for the best KSP cinematic I've ever seen
gotta love how it took a single post-credits scene in a show to inexorably associate sea dragon with that song
true
But now it's blatantly ruined by a toilet human cringe bs
This isn't just another payload
THAT THING CARRYS PLUTONIUM!!!!!!!
Edit: thanks for the heart
Well now you don’t have a heart
I like that you used the song "Everybody wants to rule the world" just like the launch from the show "For all Mankind"
How are you seeing this episode of for all mankind a year before its released where i am
This keeps getting recommended and Im liking it
Loved seeing this and future vids from you Matt! It's awesome
thank you!
As that thing just goes up, it gets me every time!
Мне очень понравился "For all mankind"! Жду 3 сезон с нетерпением! Морской дракон очень крут!
Apart of that, the underwater shots are very very cool, it's a nice job you made ! :)
This was very enjoyable to watch! Beautifully made. And wouldn't it be awesome if this could actually have happened in real life? I think that would be epic!
This video really shows how limitless KSP can be.
This is awesome! First video I’ve watched from you and honestly this is really fine work! Incredible cinematic! Really!
Well done - Sea Dragon would have "ruled the world" of orbital launch platforms.

yes best way is just some wall around lunch place
@@einherz so, a caffetaria?
@@ohno6528 hahahahhaha
it wouldn’t
@@DeathTrooper-wr2ni I guess 'it wouldn't" guarantee to entertain me to view your dismal looking Lego Videos just by your Thumbnail..
I can't help but watch this over and over
Very Cool For All Mankind brought me here. I think the design is pretty cool.
That is an incredible, *incredible* F-4 Phantom II recreation. Props to whoever has done that
the F4 is not mine it's a craft file on KerbalX
Huh
Props to Squad then (if it isn’t Squad who made KerbalX, I’m sorry, I don’t play KSP)
other people: saw the sea dragon because of "For All Mankind"
me, who knows sea dragon because of youtube videos: lol nice
hey i knew it from both lol
I knew it for a long time, and then I saw the clip from "For All Mankind" and it rekindled my passion for KSP
Me who found out from Wikipedia: *ascended*
I know because of looking online
i knew the sea dragon looong before for all mankind and i went nuts when it first appeared on the series!
I haven't watched for all mankind but i watched that end credits but
YOU EVEN MATCHED THE AUDIO
Like the lupus nocte opening. Good music, great builds, beautiful cinematic. Nice nod to For All Mankind. Have a sub bud
Love the F-4 Phantom in the beginning....and it looks like there's a Transformers Autobot logo on the right side tip tank.
🤔
a Decepticon a logo xD
The launch was the most epic part of this video... That and the stage separation
Great choice in music
I actually love the music in this video, I know it’s in “For All Mankind”, but nevertheless, this song is a great piece of 80s synth pop.
It is a pity that we didn't build this rocket.
That's is a great animation bro! Nice work!!
That F-4 Phantom is beautiful
This is better than the cinematic shown in the show
Nice video,+1 sub!!
I know I’m late but are we just gonna ignore that the Phantom is a deception?
Sea Dragon: *lifts off...*
Sea in KSP: *kalm*
Me: PHISICS, WHERE ARE YOU, PHISICS!!!!!!!!!
Can't wait!
My very favorite shoulda been built rocket.
Cool F4, too
Nice nod to the ending of For All Mankind Season 1, including the track 😊
This is so good
Yay some appreciation for this awesome idea!!
For All Mankind had such a good season 1, can't wait for season 2.
Really awesome vid!
i've watched this like 14 times its still amazing
This is everything I want in a ksp video
Same
Great job!! Loved this.
Can you imagine what an upgraded version of this would be like using today's materials, and Technology
Watching this in 1982 : WOW! what cinematics!!!
This is truly inspiring, thank you! :D
my pleasure
How this doesn't have more views?!
This is bloody awesome
You deserve more!
This needs more views mate
this just hecking SLAPS
This is awesome, keep up with the good content.
Even as a SR2 player this is very impressive!
Well, in SR2 we can make the Sea Dragón with a better design, but the engine Will need some work tho
The phantom with the gun pods 😍
hey that plane in the first part is a decepticon!
Woah can we get a craft file + mods?
Can you do a whole video, but its just Carrier ops like the CVN in that scene
What a nice video 🤩
I love how this channel is like a small community where we have creator-viewer interactions. That is something i hate about the big channels which seam to just do it for the views.
Omg I love the for all mankind touch to it.
This is glorious
could you perhaps leak the craft file? That would be awesome lol
Nice little decepticon logo in the F4
