3 Part Rocket Challenge - Visiting all Planets - Part 1

[@MegaAwesomeNick]

2:37 The old kerbal tradition of getting out to push when your spacecraft is out of gas.

[@SvetlinTotev]

8:04 "I'm not gonna use the engine", "I'm just gonna transfer fuel" . Yeah like that one time when you "just transferred fuel" propelling your spacecraft due to the teleportation of mass from one tank to another. I don't trust you.

[@LadyWildlower]

Main problem when using it on larger scales: Infernal Robotics has a habit of part drift, you end up having the entire craft spin a lot. I may have tried doing a science mode where my intention was to unlock that and then use it for practically everything.

[@yaksher]

@Admiral Pegasus Well, Scott made a video where he used to go to and from the moon and minimus.

[@shiuay6165]

This comment would have been so much funnier if you had spelled it "thrust"

[@LadyWildlower]

Yeah, he did make a video going to the moon and so. I watched it. It's just when you use it on a much larger scale, like interplanetary stuff. Part drift causes your rotatrons to, well, drift, causing your ship to spin when you turn it on.

[@technikchaot]

no you don't thrust him.

[@oaks348]

Scott! I just booted up KSP and one of the loading messages was "flying safe".

[@Anvilshock]

He probably double-clicked the KSP icon.

[@averyshaham1697]

@@small_SHOT it's been in the game for ages

[@stuchris]

15:30 i like how the 3-part rocket looks like an engine bell :P

[@ggBrUSA]

it would be interesting to have Scott Manley narrating a Falcon Heavy Launch for SpaceX

[@joshryan5890]

We need to petition this 🤣

[@FireStillPlays]

With your skill, your next video will be visiting all the planets AND moons with an upside down rocket while blindfolded, gagged, and drunk.

[@BeCurieUs]

Nuclear advocate here, but yes, LFTR has problems notably LFTR problems: Protactinium isolation = proliferation risk Depending on the geometry, loss of breeder blanket can cause prompt critical reaction if axial neutron internal reflections increase via breeder blanket absorption loss absence. Runs on highly enriched fuel 90-93% (which is unlicenseable for commercial reactors) Nobel metal plating out on heat exchanger Low power density in core (core is HUGE compared to water moderation cause carbon is not as good) Graphite life time and maintenance issues Fissile inventory tracking issues (it is easy to track fuel rods and pebbles) Salt Pump longevity issues Cold slug reactivity issues I could go on but yall get the point Other more humble MSRs are more likely to come about first, or even moreso pebble bed reactors that use salt coolant (like what UC Berkeley and Oak Ridge are working on).

[@scottmanley]

Thanks for summarising.

[@BeCurieUs]

always looking for an excuse to talk about nuclear :D

[@JasonWyman]

:O do you have recommended links for people who would love to read more about this sort of thing?

[@BeCurieUs]

Heh, well if you are on twitter I tweet about nuclear stuff all the time over @BeCurieUs :D. The guys over at Thirdway have a bunch of good stuff to read on advanced nuclear as well. Just google that, Advanced Nuclear 101 , and that will get you the tiny rundown on some of the advanced concepts out there for nuclear. They are all going to need a lot of engineering to make work right, but I am happy to be that engineer that helps make it so! I have a youtube channel that I have neglected since I started school, but I plan to get back to it here soon (*flogs self*), so I will talk about nuance of reactor stuff there at becurieus1 youtube channel. Forgive me for self promoting on your page, Scott!

[@scottmanley]

Also, hoping to have a series on Nuclear weapons soon, because they end up in video games it's worth talking about the science.

[@david6ooflames]

You should do this tutorial: "How to be as successful as Scott Manley".

[@scottmanley]

Never not be working on things.

[@connorernst3058]

Step one: be born with a fabulous accent

[@david6ooflames]

Do you read comments in your spare time or is it an obligation?

[@gabrielpowers766]

"Never not be working on things." If you're going to charge $5000 a head for a weekend seminar all you really need to do is expand that initial outline. I think you could pull it off, if you had time and didn't get tipsy. (winky face)

[@gabrielpowers766]

"Do you read comments in your spare time or is it an obligation?" Smart people read really fast. Ask me how I know? :) Or... Maybe it was just a lucky shot, as in he rarely reads and just happened to spot that one. Perhaps it appealed to some aspect of his nature... hmm... I might stop talking now.

[@donkey8116]

Dear Scott, I lost interest in KSP, but not for any bad reasons. Its a good one. Recently, I had a real bad cold, the coughing fits got so bad, I couldn't sleep, worse, the pain. This all happened because of an incompetent medical staff in the little town I live in, who refused me an urgent consultation, not once, but four times. Then, on the 13th of this month, I was admitted to hospital to have nearly four liters of fluid drained from my right lung. Had I not gone in, I wouldn't have lasted the weekend. So, now I am home and no interest in playing any games. Your videos always motivated me to try harder in KSP, and I seriously hope you can work your magic again to get me playing the game. So, thanks for being you, thanks for the great videos and thanks for being a Scotsman... I admire you almost as much as Billy Connelly. Keep the videos coming and I hope you can reignite my passion for KSP. :)

[@nicewhenearnedrudemostlyel489]

Ho Tee

[@AlexMueller1982]

Hope u get better as soon as possible. And don´t worry: At some point you will find that u absolutly have to try someting in ksp. Well at least that always is my reason to start a new playthrough :-)

[@tyngchinchillachang838]

I have been having this horrible cought for about 3 months now.been coughing and gagging.

[@kworkshop]

Oh no I hope you feel better I’m so sorry. I subbed to you

[@small_SHOT]

oh no

[@Hamachingo]

I wonder if you could land on the Mun from Kerbin orbit on a cubic octagonal strut with a control seat on it. Just using the jet pack and refuelling by getting in the seat real quick.

[@alexanderwesner9980]

Happy days....Scott you rock

[@seagotsick]

2:30 very nice

[@lanceloomis]

Anyone else think Squad needs to have their loading phrases say "Checking KerbalTube for how Scott Manley would do it?"

[@Bradley_UA]

So that's how you fly anywhere on a three part craft... However the piano music isn't crazy enough.

[@NoNameAtAll2]

Брудли Блюа Привет Никогда бы не подумал, что встречу тебя тут (konstantinua00)

[@sergey1519]

[@squallstopher608]

Wait a second... You can transfer fuel through the claw? I've been killing myself trying to dock, and I could have been doing it with the claw this whole time?!

[@Fred_the_1996]

Yep

[@Howtheheckarehandleswit]

13:38 I love how he’s 0.0 meters per second off his maneuver but it’s still too far off.

[@mesoth5848]

You should build the Dutch Boy. Yeah, that might be a little tricky.

[@Buddha.ThaGod]

Oh snap, new series. I'm in.

[@chrisgaming9567]

Does anyone here know how the [REDACTED] I get the Kerbstein Engine to work in KSP Interstellar? I've tried literally everything.

[@die1mayer]

Have you tried turning it off and on again? :P (KSPIE has a safety feature, maybe your kerbals are too exposed to radiation death)

[@pseudocoder78]

Scott you look like Powder! Is the problem lighting or camera, or both??? Either way, I will contribute to the "make Scott look like he has a vascular system" kickstarter :)

[@leonmerts702]

Somewhere at 3:30 minutes you say that Jeb is a part, so technically it's a 4 part rocket :)

[@robertb6889]

ClF3 (chlorine trifluoride) is also used in semiconductor manufacturing to clean off the residue of films deposited inside the vacuum deposition equipment. It's scary stuff though.

[@GuitarSamurai17]

Beautiful music but i came here for the beautiful scott manly commentary

[@Teddy_Bear312]

Not really used 3 parts, but fun to watch anyway and i wouldn't be able to do it so nice work!

[@VycanRL]

Just got home from Geostorm. Pretty good.

[@chortles6969]

Oh, I'm not in orbit yet? Guess I better get out and push.

[@kieranjohn1287]

You think that the landing on minmus was hard but I landed on the mun with no SAS, no landing gear and a deployed antenna that I needed to protect. fortunately I had massively over-designed on the probe that was designed to simply fly by and had 2km/s delta v after getting into orbit, the probe was also top heavy and unbalanced.

[@jasonpatterson8091]

This should be really easy except for a couple of spots - getting into orbit is finicky (but doable, as shown), which leaves Tylo as the main challenge. Finding a spot where you can land and later take off without destroying your ship, as well as the ROV refueling that it's going to require... Unpleasant. That and the boredom of all of the refueling required.

[@calebyang8527]

Geez you needed research for it and a lot you just earned a sub :)

[@baryonyx2574]

Charon is not a moon, it's a double dwarf planet with Pluto #CharonsLifeMatters

[@哈哈哈娃哈哈]

It's a binary

[@azuritet3]

this reminds me of Abyssal Lurkers' grand tour. i don't suppose anybody has a link to that old vid?

[@scottmanley]

During Kerbalkon he showed the concept for a 4 part grand tour, but I don't think he ever carried it out. I'm following in this concept.

[@azuritet3]

in that case. i don't suppose anybody has a link to the full Kerbalkon vid. *he said hopefully*

[@jamesbehrje4279]

thanks for deaffing me with that music.

[@singletona082]

Three-part spaceship: HEY JEB! GET OUT AND PUSH!

[@nolanjshettle]

When you rendezvous why do you set up your closest approach so far away? Why not set it up to come as close as possible on the first approach so when you match you're done?

[@jackbrabham]

Hey Scott Manley, I've got a challenge for you: download the Outer Planets Mod and recreate the Voyager flybys (yeah, I want an astronomer talking and teaching things about slingshots)

[@kanapitsaofficial6078]

7:04 whos that?

[@infectedrainbow]

I've been watching alot of your videos and you seem to edit them to remove all of the failures. I think this is a HUGE mistake. How am I supposed to learn if I don't see your troubleshooting and fixes?

[@General12th]

I think SpaceX is right to prioritize transportation. Space travel is the dealbreaker here -- everything else, from logistics to life support to reliability, can be solved a lot more easily. Where there's a way, there's a will.

[@dcs_0]

I think the phrase is "Where there's a will, there's a way". SpaceX is the Best

[@General12th]

No, really, I meant it the other way around. There's no will right now because it's just too hard to get to mars. But if SpaceX manages to build their rocket, and a way comes, then so too does a will.

[@dcs_0]

Oh, right. xD I hope the MCT/ITS/BFR succeeds. This will make space travel so much more real :D

[@ultimaterecoil1136]

J.J. Shank from what I have heard getting there isn't as much of a problem as landing.

[@Mattdimedia]

Nice been wondering if you ever do this.

[@theextraterrestrialsscienc7122]

Oh, fancy. I also add the 4x regular speed in my videos, but except it's red.

[@alexlandherr]

Isn’t the correct term for the star system in KSP Kerbol system?

[@221b]

I wonder if you could've done it with two parts using the Twin Boar and the 3-Kerbal capsule.

[@aaronsobolewski5392]

I watched GEO STORM, great movie

[@williamhartig9904]

how in the world are you going to get to eve in that?!

[@NullG7]

Wait, when you were talking about your mouse settings and your mouse being too sensitive, you were using the scroll wheel, right? On the very off chance you weren't then I would definitley recommend trying it out, because if your scroll wheel has fine enough control then you can set up trajectories way easier by just nudging it ever so slightly when you're moused over the node you want to increase/decrease and see if your scroll is smooth enough to do the job.

[@scottmanley]

Scrollwheel all the way.

[@Real-Ninja-IV-XX]

your camera issue while eva is solved by turning on sas, very impressive btw

[@countessalicetepes]

No a fusion reactor is fundamentally different from a fusion bomb, unlike in Batman you cannot convert one into the other. This information if courtesy of my brother who is getting his doctoral in "plasma physics" and works with fusion reactor test machines.

[@josephgroves3176]

Oh no you didn't. Wait it's Scott Manley of course he did. *kowtows "forgive my doubt! we are not worthy of the delta-v!" :))))

[@CattyRayheart]

There is another use for chlorine trifluride.... It's used as a cleaning agent in microchip manufacturing.

[@mujimguh]

Mainsail engine with the biggest tank can get you from the launchpad to another planet without refueling. Better pack some snacks with you though, because you are not getting back ;).

[@JettQuasar]

I would just grab the biggest engine and fuel tank and then work backwards from there. But that's just me.

[@kilovoltamp]

I remember seeing some papers by the only person mad enough to have an academic career in Dioxygen Difluoride, they used it to create noble gas compounds, uh, a krypton difluoride, I think, and as an even faster and better way to create Uranium Hexafluoride. Unfortunately my university doesn't have a subscription with those journals and I'm not $50 worth of interested in death fluorine.

[@alexlandherr]

How do you refuel without a docking port?

[@alexlandherr]

Snarky I seriously didn’t know that, and I’ve been playing Kerbal Space Program since 2015. I feel so stupid.

[@privatepessleneck]

I have a weird question, If you were on mercury at 'noon' and the Sun was in front of the milky way, how long would it take for you to see the Sun in front of the milky way again?

[@dcs_0]

What do you mean "in front of the milky way". We are inside the milky way

[@privatepessleneck]

I meant the milky way's center, like how it would appear on the celestial sphere.

[@dcs_0]

Would the answer be 3 mercury days?

[@theq4602]

Scott what do you think of Jacksepticeye and his attempts at KSP?

[@scottmanley]

I laugh. In a good way.

[@LordInter]

@Scot Manley you turned your sas off on your kerbal, that's we he stopped following the mouse

[@theextraterrestrialsscienc7122]

13:37 Scott Manley: The orbital velocity must be 550 m/s if I remember correctly. Me: But your orbital velocity on the navball is obviously 517 m/s... LOL

[@scottmanley]

Depends on altitude

[@theextraterrestrialsscienc7122]

Yea, Ik I was just pointing out that's hilarious :)

[@axzilluber]

Is there a way to play Kerbal without using math because I have a problem with math(believe it or not there is a math disorder)and I have it .I love playing this game but my math skills are poor at best.I have mechjeb and kerbal engineer and sort of know how to use them properly.I have only made it to minmus so far but I would like to go further .

[@ultimaterecoil1136]

axzilluber maybe have someone else do the math

[@timothymclean]

"What do you mean, that's cheating? Jeb _totally_ counts as a part!" ...Wouldn't that make this a 4-part ricket?

[@quoniam426]

He should have made a five part then, because without parachute, he won't be able to get back home unless there is a magic ship waiting in orbit for return.

[@AaronAlso]

Liquid FLOURIDE Thorium Reactor Flourine would be bad news in a LFTR.

[@GourmetAcademy]

Hey scott, how about trying some Opus Magnum next?

[@scottmanley]

+Gourmet Academy I’ve been streaming on twitch.

[@Kiliny]

... How did you manage to get enough Electric charge?

[@scottmanley]

recharges when engine is running.

[@Kiliny]

Ok, I didnt know it works. I'm always putting solar pannels everywhere (I actually never tried an "as few part as possible" fly)

[@quoniam426]

Not all engines can do that, the Aerospike and Nuke engines can as well as some other engines, check that possibility in the info about the engine in the VAB.

[@TrikeSquadron]

you forget to place a flag on Kerbin... or will you do that last?

[@scottmanley]

Not sure I'm planning on flags everywhere.

[@gabeat_]

Why no nosecone?

[@gabeat_]

Oh im dumb

[@milkhbox]

No, sir! The first part of being intelligent is admitting you know nothing!

[@Kiliny]

Still... solar pannel?

“The CLAAAWWWWWWW!”

[@skrame01]

Don't kick the baby!

[@gulomijomesh9551]

Why three parts? Seems like way too many. As a TwinBoar can bing a capsule into orbit, you should be able to to that with just two parts.

[@scottmanley]

+Gulomi Jomesh it doesn’t generate electrical power.

[@mattinahat6475]

You need some yellow in your lights to warm them a bit. You're white as a ghost!

[@aredub1847]

claw doesnt transfer fuel. edited it huh?

[@scottmanley]

This is stock. No changes.

[@gulomijomesh9551]

It depends on your dificulty setting. The claw can transfer fuel unless you activate "Fuel transfer obeys crossfeed rules".

[@woof7538]

NASA needs to hire this guy

[@jevry4307]

well... 1: ksp is nothing like real rocket science... apart from orbital mechanics it is quite close. 2: scott manley though not littarly works at nasa he does do space and psysics sciencey stuff. 3: yes i know this is just a meme shutup i know i am looking like a fool!!!

[@nicewhenearnedrudemostlyel489]

it's most likely just a comment bot. All it does is go around doing 'first' posts. what kinda person does that?

[@woof7538]

Im real dont worry :P

Are you really young Zorua? What I said was a subtle joke. If you aren't really young then let me know so I can insult your intelligence. If you are then, it's OK. It's takes a while to learn to see these things.

[@yaksher]

This hardly counts as three parts. It's multiple launches for a sum total of more than three parts.

[@pilchard4366]

Well technically minmus is not a planet...

[@omsi-fanmark]

Scott, would you mind checking the audio levels before uploading a video? Music levels and speech levels should be approx. the same. On this video, music parts are about 10 times as loud as your voice, making it almost impossible to watch thjis video at night time without accidentally waking all the neighbors when the music starts. Thank you.

[@UnknownGamer40464]

OMSI-Fan Mark not for me. He's much louder than the music.

[@nicewhenearnedrudemostlyel489]
