Damn, the first launch used as much methane and nearly as much hydrogen as the last six combined

[@Thoriumplatypus5263]

As of this moment no one has watched this video in it's entirety.

Babe wake up, new Bradley Whistance video just dropped

[@bewilderbeestie]

That's cheating! You didn't get all the way to the ground in that last landing --- it doesn't count!

[@PavloPravdiukov]

It's "nuclear", not "nukelar".

This airbrake fried potato delivery was much more direct but there was lots low speed time to cool down. 8/10.

[@ruthmoreton6975]

When I've played ( recently too ) I've found that although atmospheric heating is in there's little to no resistance. For example I tried to aerobrake a Mk1 Capsule, a rather modest and empty Size S Fuel tank and a terrier engine. But I had no change in apoapsis at all when entering the atmosphere to a periapsis of 40km ( standard aerobrake from minmus ). I only noticed drag once I jettisoned the tank and terrier engine and had just the capsule. which of course burned up with the heating and was why I was trying to aerobrake to a decent speed before a final descent. I gave up playing at that point. This was a couple of weeks after the last update and before Take Two pulled the plug.

the astronauts should voluntarily jump out if you put them on a mission that's too long, like 5 years

[@rainbowhyena1354]

Does fairing backbone trick works in ksp 2? You could hide ALL fuel tanks from drag with much smaller fairing

[@eduardoroth8207]

bradley is back!!!

"After 19 minutes of flying" ... you are not only mad, you are immensely patient as well.

[@GMDFrostBite]

I see Bradley Whistance

[@sirsquadie3383]

I really had hopes for KSP 2, its so sad to see what's been done.

[@jason_thegoblin]

I wonder how many times that quicksave at

[@mercy4453]

I've been watching your content for more than a few years now, except now I'm 3 years into an aerospace engineering degree. Its fun now actually understanding the engineering terminology you apply to playing KSP and use to make missions with extremely fine tolerances.

[@jm56585]

Watching the final approach, I was fully expecting you to land it on the small driveway to the landing pads.

[@bexterollie]

These videos make me so happg

[@officialspoodle]

Lol, I appreciated the ending!

Did mounting the remaining 7th Whiplash on top of the craft have much of an impact on efficiency in terms of the torque it imparted upon the craft that had to be counteracted by control surfaces?
