@@kauske tbh those were pretty easy to make considering fuel and thrust is so generous in game plus aerodynamics are non-existent without mods. If you added aerodynamics and unlocked speed (so you can go faster than 104.4 m/s) then you could do some really incredible things. I discovered that my Inter-Planetary Balliastic Missile (IPBM) would just obliterate on contact with earth like atmospheres when at its cruising speed of like 10km/s.
@kauske4 жыл бұрын
@@oceanbytez847 I only ever once upped the speed limit to something more reasonable back in the day. I found that physics broke down at about 500m/s and you could phase right through the ground of planets and asteroids with very little damage. I haven't played it in ages though. Keeping the form factor small with a hover-chair wasn't super easy, given that the thrust curve on atmospheric and ion engines left a decent gap where it was hard to keep going. And hydrogen was fairly bulky. I think the worst part of flying to space in vanilla is just the time it takes to travel the distance you need with that horribly slow speed limit. Especially so on bigger planets that might be 10-15km to orbit.

For the Europeans who don't get why we use periods instead of commas when it comes to decimal numbers, we use the period in place of the comma as mathematics over here the period symbol is also known as the "decimal point" or the point at which you go from whole numbers to fractional numbers. We use commas to separate numbers based on hundreds, thousands, millions, billion, trillions, quadrillions, etc. So for us, two thousand nine hundred ninety-eight would be represented as 2,998 and when divided by 1000 will result in the number 2.998 Hope that helps.

Hey Bradley! So I've been zoning in on your super epic videos in the last few days and I love them! Great concepts, great execution what can I say.. just really good work man and I'm having a blast watching through them! I came to this video only to have a chance at catching your attention because it's the most recent one and I wanted to say something on the topic of your political commentary in a general sense from what I've seen in your videos and comment section. And it concerns your (and the way popular) use of the word "science". I am a scientist, but not a natural scientist - I am an anthropologist. Anthropology, the social sciences, humanics and - the oldest and most basic of all - philosophy - there are in fact many kinds of science that do not use the same hypothesis-experiment chain for investigation. Here comes my point: What I want to propose to you is to look up what the difference between science based in the philosophy of postivistism and science based in hermeneutics. The latter is just as much a scientific perspective but it does not use the same methods as you mean when you say "scientific method" or something similar, and it is in fact based in a wholly different understanding of knowledge. Some of the comments you have regarding belief and truth (like the existence of god, flat earth, pseudo-science, that kind of stuff) and how those concepts relate to science are not actually reflective of all of science but a rather gross generalization which takes for granted there is only science based in one particular philosophy. I wanted to tell you this so that you can improve your comments and observations even more. I agree to large part what you say but to me, as a social scientist, much of its potential gets lost (for my ears) because of this what seems to be a missing understanding of the completeness of science. Let me just poke your mind a little and make a statement that no scientific theory has been proven outside human experience, science is merely a social construct, even if the naturals surely have a useful thing or two to say when building rockets... Hope this was in any way helpful! Cheers
@BradleyWhistance6 жыл бұрын
Philosophy and the philosophy of science is a huge interest for me, but I must insist that the sciences are necessarily based on testable predictions. The sole exception to this is the deductive branch of science, mathematics. Mathematics is incidentally the field that I am currently pursuing at university, but philosophy remains a passion as well. (I would also add that there is a lot of overlap between math and philosophy!) It is incorrect to say that science of any kind is based on the philosophy of positivism. It is not necessary to think that all assertions could be proved or disproved to conduct study using the scientific method. Furthermore, the majority of scientists, as well as myself, disagree with positivism. With the exception of the mathematical sciences, science does not determine certainties, but builds theories based on repeatable, demonstrable phenomena. While social sciences generally deal with many more variables and more uncertainty than the physical sciences, they do fall under the philosophy of science, which is necessarily contradictory to belief without evidence. Thanks for watching, and thanks for your thoughtful comment!
@obban126 жыл бұрын
Thanks for the reply, it is also thoughtful, and I hear you. I'm also into philosophy and I too see the overlap! And I understand that mathematics is deductive, but not all other science is based on testable predictions. It looks as though you think I said something I didn't. Let me try to capture my point better and maybe it will be clearer: There are scientific branches that do not utilize the same methods as physics at all (i.e. building theories on repeatable, demonstrable phenomena), yet they are doing real science. In my discipline, for example, we make observations, however these are not compared to an hypothesis, or considered testable or repeatable in any way, it is not imporant. Instead an observation may or may not be contextualized within a theoretical model. All observations are considered meaningful in relation to the context in which they came about and we don't look for evidence. In essence all data is considered contextual. This method is made possible by a wholly different set of underlying philosophy which is that of interpretation - or hermeneutics. So actually, I just wanted to suggest to you to look into the field of hermeneutics, because it may expand your understanding not only of scientific methods but more generally about what knowledge is, in a way which over-arches epistemology itself. It is really interesting stuff and a great place to start if you're interested is the video (and publication) "Hermeneutics: A Very Short Introduction" by Oxford Press. The video is available here on KZbin. Regarding positivism I merely underscored the fact that the construct of Enlightenment-style science is by definition positivistic because it expects there to be universal truths, I did not mean all scientists personally believe in positivism. What is believed by the scientist is sort of beside the point in this scenario, but it alludes to the reason why I'm discussing with you; I see that our post-modern capitalistic world clearly is dominated by a paradigm of "prove it to me through numbers" - which makes sense if you want to increase production and reduce costs or build a better house - but it says nothing about how humans should organize. Yet we have come to believe that accurate predictions are the way to go, are more true or relevant than other forms of meaning which could be based on other assumptions. So I postulate that superiority of prediction is just that, a belief as much as any, as precarious as any. If it was more often implied that there are many ways of doing real science some of those inclined to turn to harmful pseudoscience may employ more useful strategies for dealing with the utter mystery and sheer confusion that is human life. I'm having fun writing with you! Hope you don't mind my straight-forwardness. Thanks again and say hi to Bill :)

Do you use the docking port as the root part, and that's why you're able to fly not sideways? Any time I have a command seat as my control everything is rotated 90 degrees or something. No matter what I do I can't get it right. Might try a docking port as a root part though now either way lol. Great job as always good sir! Very impressive!

If you have a docking port on your spacecraft, there's no need to make it the root part - you can just right-click on the docking port and select "control from here" to make your navball directions relative to the docking port.

hey bradley, how much did this mission cost, and can you please put up the craft files for all of the minimal missions?
