Hope of Man - Far Future Barnard's Star Mission in KSP RSS
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 вер 2024
- This mission simulates a possible fusion powered probe to Barnard's star, specifically the exoplanet Barnard b. Barnard's star is about 6 light years away from Sol, with the probe traveling at 0.025c it reaches Barnard b in about 260 years. This is the fastest possible travel time achievable without incredibly advanced fusion engine concepts (e.g. Daedalus).

Dang, imagine spending 260 years on a mission, then the probe crashes, and you forgot to make a quicksave.
OW
Real ones dont use quicksaves
@@M.Thomas1in my saves i cant quicksave or quickload so if i screw up its permanent
Damn, that was kind of sad, the way the probe went so far just to fail on the landing.
It's rare to find a bittersweet futureism video like this. Very cool
Great cliffhanger! You left me wanting to see how the Sol system has (d)evolved. A+
Other than occasional visual glitches/ cursor showing, amazing job!
Thank you!
This is so depressing I love it omg
This has to be my favorite KSP film. Please make more!
Wow, is not the 1st time i see that fusion engine with those radiators, but i could never find it. What mod is it? Nice job by the way :)
Nertea's Far Future Technologies, it's the "Hammertong Inertial Confinement Fusion Engine".
@@SpaceGrond Thank you! Now i need to find out how to make it work without overheat them :D
New sub here...
Well, that would be a loss of wasted time and effort. Boy, to travel all that way for nothing - that would be a total bummer!!
i play with more than 100 mods but damn this doesn’t even look like ksp anymore
Thank you!
Beware the ides of March
It Is better, faster and cheaper to sent photon sail to Barnad B like Breaktrough Starshot mission
All that way, just to go splat and make a crater called human endeavour.
Cool, yet sad
Is K.S.S Volovodov named after Anna from The Expanse?
Yes! I'm glad someone recognized it :)
I think Barnard B is supported life on the planet itself
Don't mind if i -copy this- take some inspiration for KSP2
Wasn't Neil Armstrong cremated and his ashes scattered at sea? They make it look like he's buried there.
It's a memorial :)
Why fusion?
Wait a minute, we already know Barnard B is uninhabitable, it is way too far from the star
Yes I phrased that so most people would understand. We do know it is uninhabitable, however if the atmosphere were thicker it could be semi habitable, and the lander would have succeeded. Until JWST is fully operation we won't really know exoplanet atmosphere composition or thickness, we can only speculate ;)
How’d you get KSC parts on the moon?
Kerbal Konstructs
What is the ion engine you used at 7:17?
What is the planet pack used?
Real Exoplanets + Real Solar System
The ship look's like a vacine😅
Question, did you base this video off of ua-cam.com/video/WlKgCweQpNA/v-deo.html at all? Because either way this video was awesome.
Beyond Trinity is a huge influence on the video, and just the ksp community in general. It is a very important video for a lot of ksp player including myself, so yeah, you could say it was kinda inspired by it!
@@SpaceGrond I am not kidding when I say that this video started me playing ksp, My first peak of the game was heavily modded RSS!
Thanks. Nicely done. I enjoyed the "sad" music. It's not really sad to me; merely more deeply emotional & serious. Perky music is often annoying to me! I will say that I'm not of those who thinks humans are likely to find another planet that's just "perfect" for (our) life. I'm of the opinion that, if humans are ever to travel bodily to another system, they'll need to go prepared to build and live in something like a hollowed-out asteroid or an O'Neal cylinder. Dirtside is for dummies, not pioneers tavi.
I like The Expanse's take on it with the Nauvoo. The ship itself is basically a mobile O'Neil cylinder and is completely self suficient, so that if the target planet is uninhabitable it can still be colonized (like we would Mars or Venus)
@@SpaceGrond Sounds pretty smart to me! I've heard scenarios wherein generation ships travel from system to system continuously. They stop long enough to set up one or more colonies, mine for some supplies, leave behind some folks to man said colonies, and move on. It's an image that strikes me as being much the same as a sailing ship going around the world way back when. tavi.
Probably asked a lot, but could you post your modlist?
This modlist is long lost my friend, but the main mods are FFT, NF, RSS/RSSVE/REX Restock and I think that's about it
its 2.5c not .025c
No, it's 0.025c
2.5c is impossible because it's higher than c (that being the speed of light)
@@SpaceGrond sorry got confused what I meant to say was it was 2.5 percent c but forgot that .025 was 2.5 percent
