    Download for the Space Shuttle is in the description, as well as the music I used.
    If you have any suggestions of what you would like to see in future videos, feel free to let me know below!
    For those who are waiting for "Duna Attacks", I am waiting for Camera Tools (and a couple of other mods) to update for 1.1 before continuing. Thanks for the patience!
    Visual mods used are Scatterer and Planetshine

Hope to see more and great to see you posting new KSP vids again too :) Can't wait to see the results of the laythe series :) Greets ffrom the Netherlands!

    • @airforce9872
      @airforce9872 8 років тому +4

      scratchspider yes, there is debris up there, but it will all eventually de-orbit and burn up. And the vast distances involved in space, even in near-Earth orbit, are almost unfathomable to our minds. It's essentially impossible to run into debris. To put in perspective, imagine a tennis ball is the Earth, now even with over a million pieces of debris in orbit, they are all the size of an atom. Our vehicles are molecule sized. The chances of a molecule running into another atom are near negligible.

    Hey Matt, I just saw you also have this stuttering issue (every ~5-20 seconds it pauses for a few miliseconds). This bug has been around for ages and is related to the Garbage Collection in Unity, though it could be avoided by creating less garbage (means data that is no longer used). Squad is aware of this but it feels like they are not aware of how many people are affected. So maybe if all the KSP UA-camrs would talk to them we could get rid of it soon. I think after the switch to unity 5 it's about time to get rid of some nasty stuff.

    • @GamesRorsome
      @GamesRorsome 8 років тому +4

      Few tips:
      Be in a circular orbit below or above your target's orbit.
      The greater the difference in your orbits the faster you will "Phase" with the target
      Adjusting the Radial and Anti Radial can fine tune your close approach once you get one.
      While approaching closest approach (the last minute or so) burn to match orbits and keep your prograde vector on your target vector, once you get it you can literally stop within metres of the target without rcs.
      and btw, it took me about 50 hours to get my first docking, ksp has a steep learning curve so don't feel discouraged.

I got into a good plane orbit, but for the life of me could not get things lined up enough to get in close enough to dock. The closest I was able to get was 12km away but then I started drifting away due to different orbits. Im going to do that scenarios.

      @builder396 8 років тому

      +Wabadebadoo Olelikemjoel With a Spaceplane its actually relatively easy. Thanks to having wings you have a way of controlling your descent without using fuel, and that gives you a relatively big area where you can with a bit of know how practically choose where exactly you want to go. All you need is to deorbit very roughly at the right point and enter the atmosphere just as the manual describes it.
      Without wings its a great deal harder, but on the 2nd try i managed to land a base on Eve only 40km away from the next base i was aiming for. (Which was my first attempt of landing somewhere near the rover which, embarrassingly, was on the other side of the planet)

      +camBC It's only worth the money if you have an SSTO, meaning your only cost is the fuel: with the cost of the fuel tank you discard, it's really not worth it using the shuttle.
      Edit: Well... It's *usually* not worth it. I didn't do the math for the specific vehicles so I can't say with 100% certainty.

    • @cambc9730

    • @MattLowne
      @MattLowne  8 років тому +1

      +camBC This, and the growing concerns of safety and ageing technology/hardware. The columbia disaster was one of the biggest (if not the number 1 contributer) factors leading to the termination of the shuttle program. The shuttle was so expensive to fly because it wasn't used nearly as frequently as was originally intended.

    • @o0alessandro0o

      Matt Lowne Chicken and egg, though: one of the reasons it wasn't used more often was that it was so expensive to fly.
      "Astronomical" is an adjective you hear often at NASA, I'd expect, but you'd rather it didn't apply to the costs involved in refurbishing your craft after each successful launch.
      Add the fact that it was as nimble as a flying brick and as tough as a sand castle, that it would cook the occupants if the cargo bay doors got stuck while in orbit, and a myriad of other fun factoids, and I think the only reason it didn't get retired earlier was that it was so damn cool - and that, half a decade *after* it was retired, we still don't have a real replacement.
