the "solar system" is the name given to the planetary system with Sol in it's center, ie; our system. For the Kerbals it would be the Kerbolar (or just Kerbol) system, as their star is named Kerbol :)

[@ryanm.191]

If you could actually do accurate manoeuvre nodes you could easily escape kerbols soi with enough deltaV to reach the moon +150m/s. Just gravity assist your apoapsis high and higher, doing 0.1-1m/a burns at ap to setup the next assist and a lot of patients and time warp

[@notfeedynotlazy]

That was also doable on KSP1, ust that (like current - at time of this comment - KSP2, there was nowhere else to go). Some have done that with Kerbol slingshots and asparagus-staged xenon tanks, some just by moar and moar boosters, I did with infinifuel drain valves (good old KAL overclocking)....

[@KyleH736]

Idea: use the (ion?) engines that can charge once you are past planets influence. Then you will waste less fuel.

[@dabombinablemi6188]

The third stage for one of my Jool probes was able to escape the solar system once past Jool as I had pointed it retrograde to get the Jool encounter. Near apoapsis I burned long enough to get the periapsis close to the sun, and when I reached it I set the engine to full thrust and used all remaining fuel. An; aerospike, mem-250, rc-L01, x200-32 and the CN-250 were enough to escape by pure chance - I tend to overbuild a lot more in KSP2 with the limited TWR display.

[@TheGuyWhoComments]

What would be funny if by some chance this is pointed directly at the new solar system that they add one day, so then you’ll log onto the save and find that you’re now orbiting another star

[@Chris-xo2rq]

At 3:30 you could have clicked the velocity box on the left that "Orbit" to switch to ground mode and then you could have used the "Up" SAS control rather than prograde... because that's what you actually wanted, to go straight up away from the planet.

the hydrogen is lighter because its less dense. The amount of fuel you get doesnt depend on the size of the tank it depends on the weight

All Thrusters, even Solid, and Air Breathing, have a specific Thrust : Weight ratio. At some point, just spamming a multiple of the same thruster, it won’t be able to lift itself

[@radekheil2947]

Basically you do not need much dV. in Day 0 in KSP2 you can just fly to Eve and use its energy to boost you to Jool and use its energy to leave Kerbol. Pretty easy.

[@halliwedge]

Tell me you know nothing about rocketry without telling me you know nothing about rocketry. Great video tho, very funny, reminds me of how I started when first playing KSP.

[@MasterTaters]

My idea for this was to create more realistic sections that bring separate fully fueled sections into orbit which I would then dock as one spacecraft and really really REALLY exit the system at breakneck speed, with a single Kerbal at the tip of the exit vehicle in a suit sitting in a chair and he was sacrificial he would never make it home but would die a hero. I mean in a straight line; no gravity assists; just pure SPEED AND POWER...

[@ghostbirdlary]

irl the sphere of influence of the sun is like 1 light year. the ort cloud. and the escape velocity is like 600 km per second lol.

[@earlgrey2130]

I watched this.. saw you ended up with 30'000 m/s and thought.. wow.. that's gotta be really fast. Then i realized lightspeed is almost a 1000times more.

[@watem]

Would have been interesting to leave some fuel in to see what happens outside of kerbol's SOI

[@dannypipewrench533]

5:05 YEAH NUCLEAR PROPULSION!

[@cl5258]

The reason the gravity turn, turning towards orbit, is ubiquitous in rocketry is because when you burn straight up you arent just fighting atmospheric drag, you are fighting gravity drag... Unsure what the gravity of kerbin is, but every second you burn straight up on earth, you are losing 10 m/s delta v simply due to the orientation of your thruster. An optimized trajectory starts upright to get out of the atmosphere ASAP, removing aerodynamic drag, but turns relatively low to minimize the wasting of thrust to gravity drag... Sorry about the long post-just pains me to see someone thrusting straight up... always burn perpendicular to the body you are orbiting when drag isnt a factor. Optimizing this perfectly is a fairly complex math problem, but you can get 90-95% there just getting a feel for it in KSP

[@cheesysealAnon]

When they add interstellar travel you need to rescue bob.

[@Seeraphyn]

When you put side boosters on your rockets it's better to have the decouplers on top than on the bottom, this way it pushes the top of the booster away from the core when decoupling and the aerodynamic forces make them peel away like a banana. If you put them on the bottom half of the side booster it pushes the bottom away which makes the aero forces push the nose inwards and that tends to make you loose engines on your core.

[@darkracer1252]

sure bro. go to the inner solar system to start burning at perriapsis. totally didn't waste fuel doing that. (deltaV is your ability to change your velocity. . where do you think it will have more effect? where you are going the slowest. or where you are going the fastest?)

Just as a sidenote, you save fuel if you burn at periapsis, so if you do multiple burns at periapsis youll be able to go farther

[@zenothksp]

Oberth effect :)

[@matthewtropea4987]

It’s much more efficient to get to low kerbin orbit then to burn prograde at your periapsis. Also use asparagus staging using liquid fuel engines-it is also way more efficient

[@SylviaRustyFae]

0:20 Its not just a matter of more rocket power, you can do that in theory but the scale can get absurd... The real trick to leavin the solar system is the same trick behind interplanetary travel that all yall arent using Gravity assists! That is, slingshottin your vessel around a planet and usin the increased speed to increase the range of your orbit Cassini, which carried the Voyager 2 probe, used two gravity assists off of Venus, one of off earth, and a fourth off of Jupiter, and a fifth which it did off of Saturn, with its final one bein off of Neptune and what eventually saw it leave the sun's orbit This def works in KSP as ive seen Scott Manley use gravity assists

[@oasntet]

Also the Oberth effect, which Intern sorta-kinda accidentally used by leaving Kerbin going the wrong way and dropping his solar periapsis so low. It can often be more efficient to get way closer to the body you're trying to leave and burning when moving faster, or vice-versa when trying to get closer.

@@sparklygames71 ya the only reason it annoys me so much is i never heard of it or any anyone saying it i only ever heard of gravitational field

@@Tigerpanzer6666 Those two are different things and sphere of influence is the correct one for the "bubbles" around celestial bodies in KSP. SOI means the volume of space where that body has the main gravitational effect on other objects, whereas gravitational field is about the distortions of spacetime by the bodies. That is, even on the surface of Earth we're within Sun's gravitational field, as well as Earth's, but we are in Earth's sphere of influence as it's the primary gravitational influence to us. So much so that we can disregard the rest on almost all everyday calculations (Moon and Sun still have some noticeable effects, for example on tides, though). And especially on KSP the SOI is the correct term, because it models physics based on *only* that single celestial body as long as you're on its SOI. While you're near Kerbin all other gravitational fields are disregarded, but when you cross the threshold of its SOI physics start using Kerbol's gravity and so on.

[@-_Nuke_-]

Its starting to dawn on me that you can't really travel straight in space... Like at all! No matter your acceleration value, you are always drawing a circle... Even if that circle is infinite in radius, its still a circle or an ellipse or something... I guess that explains the speed of light doesn't it? Only light can really go in a straight line is space - (or anything with no mass that is...). So light is the fastest thing in the Universe, mostly because it can go from A to B in a straight line and nothing else can.
