The most mind-blowing thing about this mission to me was when you were talking about 2019 being "2 years ago" and then I realised that 2019 was, in fact, *2 years ago*. Time moves too quickly, man.

WOAh, British humour be like
Hi Matt :)
Cant believe we’re nearly half way through 2021
Hi matt👋
1 m/s to save for later, what a gangsta sentence.
oh my god lmao
I assume he’s saving them for a big mission
So he can do better
A whole 100 cm/s, that's pure luxury
"I left 1 Delta V in the spider engine, we will need that for later"
Leave it to Bradley to minmax an entire one DeltaV unit during challange
I'm guessing you could probably get from Gilly's surface to orbit with 1 DeltaV if you jump and go from a mountain or something like that
@@geryz7549 you could probably get from Gilly's Surface to orbit just by thinking about it really hard.
It's a surprise tool that will help us later
@@lankymaccrazyhair264 laughed harder at this than I should have.
@@ENCHANTMEN_ I am LOLing at this
Thanks to 1.11 allowing us to remove the Kerbal's parachutes we can return to the good old days of surviving a fall from orbit using nothing but an oscar fuel tank as crush space
I will never forget that video, it was insane.

Next we’ll see 50 grams to moho and back
50 grams of meth that is
@@xpotatohamster7051 Bill just gets fired up and runs up to orbital speed to launch himself, and uses the power of being too high to give a damn to survive things like lethal overheating and impact
@@lankymaccrazyhair264 lol i laughed so hard at this
@@lankymaccrazyhair264 exactly, drugs make your body warm
if you're as hot as the plasma cooking you during reentry, then you won't die
Don't encourage him
Now that we can change a Kerbal's mass, the final barrier will finally be broken.
and i broke it
that moment when your ship is so small you have to specify "not including the kerbal"
I would like this comment but it's already at the perfect amount 🤣

It's always hilarious to watch the timer in minimal mass missions. Imagine the meeting at KSC
"Hey who wants to spend 2 1/2 years floating around in a space suit because we're too cheap to make a decent rocket so that you can have a normal Minmus mission that should take less than 20 days?"
Better have made sure Bill had an empty stomach going up
The bar gets even lower! Exciting to see how these hyper-optimized missions evolve with time
not just time, updates!
Person: “So, how much Delta V did you leave in the de-orbit stage?”
Bradley: “A Delta V.”
Person: 😮
Last time I was this early the KSP had adequate funding.
They have adequate funding, they just blow it all on -fireworks- unplanned disassembly.
@@wta1518 agreed
From what I remember, kerbals can actually survive re-entry if done right, so technically you wouldn’t need the radiator
yes they can, i did it in my first video on this channel, though i had RCS available. it might not work without
Its certainly possible with the use of eva fuel. If you are aware of a reliable way to re-enter kerbals without using eva fuel, let me know =)
@@BradleyWhistance You might not want to use this, as it is technically a glitch, but if you leave the Kerbal on an elliptical orbit with a periapsis just above the ocean, go to the tracking station, time warp until the Kerbal is at periapsis (the game won't delete the Kerbal because he/she is still in orbit I think) and then load him/her. Should slow down super fast, before the heating kicks in enough to be deadly.
Yes I can do it from a 70 km orbit, I use all the eva fuel to slow at 69 km and when I'm out I drop, and it barely avoids the kerbal overheating
The game: "Rescue Babushka Kerman from low kerbin orbit."
Bradley: "Babushka Kerman needs to go to Minmus first, and then land on the VAB."
Time for the bi-monthly Bradley Whistance upload.
"Standing on the flag doesn't provide any significant advantage"
Says the guy who specifically left 1 m/s of DeltaV left so he could reenter safely.
Could probably improve the mission using flags in some way, since they can work to lithobrake really well and can also protect a kerbal from heating.
9:42 that ship hasn't sailed, you launched it into the sun with a 2 ton rocket
Bradley in 2022: "To Minmus and back with 0 tons"
0 micrograms*
This is a match. This is a can of hair spray. This is a glue stick. AND THIS IS THE CRAFT THAT WILL BE GETTING US TO EVE.
Maybe a mass driver can atleast get you to kerbin orbit? I mean the craft will weigh a lot but you only have the mass of the kerbal and preferably a heatshield
its t i m e
Theoretically you could build a mass driver cannon, that fires a Kerbal to Minmus.
The external command seat has an ejection force slider on it now, free delta v when you leave the seat! Would love to see you start yeeting Bill out of that thing
Seat-yeeted from the launchpad, and puttering the rest of the way with Eva fuel
@@recurvestickerdragonall the way to Eve & back
Now things like this are just incredible to me, amazing work my guy!
Was waiting for some inventory shenanigans
I still remember when you did a video about it a couple of years ago before the 1.11 update which makes it even better
I really like your low mass missions and i hope it doesn't hurt to ask for more
Bill's story played a gigantic role in my quarantine. Thank you so much for your fantastic work and vids!
love you're videos man keep it up!
What an absolutely brilliant video mate, I'm flabbergasted. Stay safe.🚀
WHOA. Admirable optimization!!
Bill's face makes a good brake pad.
he’s back
When your craft is so light you need lithobreaking on a kerbal to land on minmus
Finnaly another legendary video
Good work
HE DID IT
Two hours after brad posted his video, a Chinese broke his record with a 0.8 ton spacecraft....
Nearly three years, bob must love space
Yaaas You're back!!!
You're a legend
Next comes Stratzenblitz with
No
Me: builds an unnecessarily complicated contraption to go to Minmus
This guy:
He is a ksp god
Isn't it possible to use the "ejection force" on the command chairs to get some extra dV?
Yes,for deorbit
was there a reaction wheel in there, or were you just using the vectoring is the engine to orient yourself?
There is a reaction wheel for the Juno/Spark stage. The Juno has no gimbal, and the Spark stage kept having issues with control without the wheel. The spider stage uses the vectoring.
Low mass missions are my favorite!
same
YES!
wow so spacious so comfortable for our great astronaut 😈
Finallyyy!!!
LETS GO im happy now
Hi Brad, I have a suggestion for you which is more of a piloting challenge than a build challenge. My proposal is "single burn to Minmus". Starting on the surface of Kerbin, launch directly to an intercept of Minmus, so the rules are: (1) no lighting additional engines after leaving the surface of Kerbin, (2) no throttling down below 33%, (3) when you shutdown your engines after launch you must be on course to reach the sphere of influence of Minmus. Bonus points if you can pull this off from the Woomerang Launch Site.
Optimized so much that the flag becomes crucial to the return trip!
He said it wasn’t
When the kerbal is a separate stage
Now if chucking stuff out of inventory created Delta-v...
Next milestone: going to minimus on Eva fuel alone
I wonder if it's possible to change up the mission profile by having a kerbal remove parts from the vehicle mid-flight. I don't know enough about planning the kind of mission that relies heavily on the quirks of stock KSP to function for me to be able to make any reasonable estimates on how this may work, but it does seem to be an option that might be possible to consider now.
"after a few more orbits of kerbin" T+ 1y 284d MET
remember when a 2.1 ton SSTO was impressive.
I am curious how small the boost form standing on the flag is, reminds me of raising the launch height using the launch clamps to get those few extra meters
magic.
Can you make a really advanced ssto/spaceplane tutorial that really goes in depth?
4:07 - I know that feeling (although in my case I was going for absolute minimum _cost_ to LKO, rather than absolute minimum _mass_ to Minmus and back).
Finally!
This is really incredible!!! Might be a stupid question - with an engineer, how do you have SAS control?
the engiennering evolved.
we have 2 stage EVA packs now
Would it be possible to bring up a second (or more) EVA fuel tanks, maybe in a container, or if possible not attached, just sitting in the fairing? Then go EVA-only from LKO all the way to Minmus and back,? This might end up making the craft heavier, though.
At that point, you might as well just take up a capsule. Getting in a command pod instantly refills EVA fuel.
These challenges are the most kerbal thing ever
He ended up waiting two years.
Cool.
I’m using a similar method to preform a 3 parts to the mun and minmus mission. I succeeded a few weeks ago, but I’ve been lazy with the editing of the video. I was wondering how long it would take for somebody to make use of it.
Which 3 parts?
A little orthopedic correction by the minmus surface
mass driver
Ayo this was my teacher when I was a freshman
Hey Bradley! It feels weird either saying or typing that because my name is also Bradley!
I wonder what the smallest mass to the mun and back is in realism mod
Your game looks beautiful! What mods are you using?
you can use a flag instead of the radiator to save weight
IDK if it improves the launch mass but what about the idea of ditching the chair entirely and using a KAL or movements of the Kerbal to control the ascent profile?
Using the topography of of minmus you might be able to shave a little delta V.
Next: 1 nanogram spacecraft to Eeloo
maybe start the flight at a bit of an angle so that the mun assist will boost your angle even more and get you into the same orbital inclination as minmus without any delta v expenditure?
So the previous mission was 2019... and Bill's trip to Minmus took 2 years... COINCIDENCE!? OR DID THEY EACH LAUNCH AT THE SAME TIME!?!?!?!?!?
When is the odessy by bill coming back?
fun fact: this mission weighs about as much as the f-35b lift fan
I'm wondering how light rotors are. I'm thinking of a solar-powered rotorcraft to get out of thick atmosphere, and ion thrust the rest of the way. The kerbal would have no inventory or perhaps a parachute; that would be part of the saving, so it might be best to count the kerbal and inventory as part of these things. I might try this but don't have the patience to do it well. I'd be happy if someone better than me did it.
a kraken powered ladder can land on eve and return with less mass.
Happy to be early to the comment section woo!
Next, to Proxima Centauri on 3 tons
does launch mass include things you leave on the ground? including say, a mass driver?
6:40 A *small* orhtopedic readjustment
Bradley, just asking, did you know that you cant take 2 propellant tanks on your Kerbonaft? You just need to hold one with your mous, so you will have more fuel.
New challenge, 3 ounces to Eeloo and back
Did you know your channel name in my language is:
“teeth”?
@@EmbeddedWithin lmao no, what language?
@@TheOneNamedGigi Bahasa Melayu
If you had a liquid fuel tank attached to the craft which was decoupled at launch, you could wait until the little jet engine is at maximum thrust before taking off without wasting fuel. Although that is a bit of a cheat, since you are technically adding a lot more weight to the craft. Also, have you tried launching from different launch sites? That may or may not bring an advantage.
My god...
Kraken drive is light
Idea: have an air intake offset by like 75km so you can get to lko on air breathing engines 🤷♀️
IIRC KSP doesn't apply atmospheric drag to a craft that has a center-of-mass above the atmosphere, even if some parts dangle down into said atmosphere. So I don't think your idea works.
what mod makes the sun look so cool
I'm trying to copy this mission in Juno: New Origins.
for once I can say that I did this first with a mun mission (not record low mass just using the extra tanks for mass reduction)
my lightest orbital rocket is like 4.5 tons lol this is insane
Me: designing a super complex transfer stage to get to minmus.
Bradley: Nah
Also Bradley: we should be able to survive hitting the surface of Minmus at 180kph.
