Big Gemini Moon Base - KSP Terminal Velocity EP25 (1964, Part 1) [RSS/RO/RP1]

[@staren6267]

The moon base contract is like how I forget about homework and than when it is almost due I remember about it.

[@polarbear4620]

for some reason these 1960’s style “recreated” missions are so intriguing, Keep the the good work man

[@paulandrieu673]

« Landing site » ? Bro, the pressure at the surface of Venus is 100x higher than on Earth ! You cannot send Kerbals on this hell ! Or you will need a bigger suit if you dont want to see them crushed ! But anyway, what you doing is amazing and I will keep follow you for the future.

[@SpaceOutpost]

I've been watching the series for almost a year now, and it's incredible! I can clearly notice a step forward in terms of the complexity of the missions and rockets and the overall videos. Godspeed TD!

[@TDChannelKSP]

Glad you've been enjoying it so far! Aye, I always try to push my videos a bit further each time - looking back at early Terminal Velocity - they're quite a bit different!

I like it how the all just blind themself without their sun visors

[@polishkerbal6920]

How ironic is that i am myself building a lunar base in rss,ive been playing for the past 4 months. started playing this beacuse of you.

[@TDChannelKSP]

Nice! That's awesome to hear.

[@Zaca1349]

IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!!!!, since episode 17.

Heh, I've been teasing this mission for awhile now! Hopefully it lives up to the hype ;)

[@HugoBroad]

your videos always look so good

[@TDChannelKSP]

Glad you like them!

[@XENTAR1C]

lol all 4 kerbals staring directly into the sun are permenantly blind

[@TDChannelKSP]

In real life they have flip-down visors to protect from the sun, I think I've seen them in KSP too under EVA skins or something like that.

[@XENTAR1C]

@@TDChannelKSP yeah i forgot about those i think you see them in the more updated installs of ksp i just thought the shot looked funny btw love ur content keep it up

"Everyone turn off your lamps!" *sun shows up* kerbals blinded and stranded on the moon

[@Zaca1349]

I’m not sure exactly what the spinning is, but I think it has to do with the Gemini RCS, I haven’t encountered this problem with Mercury. I’m far off from Apollo hardware, I will see if I encounter the spinning. Certainly puzzles me! Not just the R&D :)

[@lewismassie]

Very cool stuff once again

[@Allan_aka_RocKITEman]

@TD Channel >>> 👍👍

[@topsecret1837]

2:21 I don’t recall the RS-25 nonetheless a variant known as a RS-25U having existed in the 60s, but there was a high pressure derivative of the J-2 called the HG-3.

[@TDChannelKSP]

This timeline is much faster than IRL - first lunar landing in '57 and Mars in '61. RS-25U is a hypothetical upper stage variant of the RS-25 with restart ability - in this timeline it was developed as a high performance upper instead of for the shuttle.

[@njits23]

@@TDChannelKSP I cannot find this variant in my install of RP-1. Do you know which mod adds the RS-25U variant?

The saturn 6 series: The Saturn 6 Is Just Like The Saturn 5 but has SRBs The heaviest varient has 8 boosters

[@ccib00]

Almost forget a contract. Lucky that you can build rocket so fast to done it in time.

[@TDChannelKSP]

Casually rush out two brand new upgraded Saturn Vs, no problem at this crazy VAB production rate!

[@PuncakeLena]

This moon base reminds me of the final Saturn V launch, the space station one, in that this is entirely not what the original vehicle was designed for and thus it all looks a bit last minute Except, yours really was last minute. And geez, that fine would've nuked the program

[@fork9001]

I foresee a Venus landing within 15 episodes

[@TDChannelKSP]

It might be sooner than you think ;)

This Video Accured Before Project Andoria

[@yredcat5772]

Quick question- When you reach the 1970s in this save, will you launch something for the Voyager windows?

[@TDChannelKSP]

I'm hoping to launch some crewed missions to the outer planets during that window!

[@yredcat5772]

@@TDChannelKSP Interesting..

[@James_Moton]

This was a close call for sure. Were there any times in which you *failed* a contract?

[@cristinelarsh1610]

Yeah I was thinking about that too

[@nashpeleuses]

What's next, Project Mercury going to the moon?

[@safeish57]

great video but what happened to orlab?

[@TDChannelKSP]

Orblab 1 (LEO) and 2 (Lunar) are still there, but mainly abandoned by now. Will likely end up deorbiting, with much newer, bigger stations to replace their role permanently.

[@safeish57]

@@TDChannelKSP aight cool

[@MinerBat]

cool but, WHY ARE THEY SURVEYING VENUS FOR A LANDING SITE???

[@TDChannelKSP]

Because Kerbals just aren't quite satisfied with seeing Venus from orbit with their own eyes ;)

@@TDChannelKSP but sir the costs will be enourmous!

Question: what is big gemini? I know what regular gemini is but whats big gemini? Does it have something to do with the windows on the side of the capsule?

[@TDChannelKSP]

Higher capacity, advanced version of Gemini meant for shuttle-like ops to a space station. So, Gemini, but big and with a large service compartment. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Gemini

[@WarpPrime]

Loving the continuation of the series! Quick question: Why do you drop the top of the s-ic? What exactly is it?

[@TDChannelKSP]

There's a built-in decoupler to the DECQ S-IC, when I fire its retro motors it decouples as well. Pretty sure I tried to disable staging at one point but it still did, whoops. The top is the extra "Stretch tank" since the F1As burn longer.

[@WarpPrime]

@@TDChannelKSP So essentially harmless structural failure lmao, kinda new to rp1 so whats a decq haha

[@TDChannelKSP]

@@WarpPrime Basically yeah. DECQ is the mod author of the Saturn V parts I use. It's an old mod, but still one of the better Saturn V mods out there.

[@GoatzAreEpic]

Would be cool to be able to design your own rockets like plumbing rockets and designing the thing

[@ItMeYaGril]

As incredibly cool as that would be, I'd imagine we'd see a lot of N1-esque failures.
