Time for RCE's turn...

[@javierfernandez9214]

Yes

[@strokeitsoftly246]

I love the guy but he can't/won't take it "seriously" I know it's just a game-- hence the quotes.

[@pelly06gaming7]

Definitely since he said “what do you know your just an engineer” that got RCE mad for sure

[@fiscalgoose7664]

I agree 💯

[@leroyjenkinsreturns]

Yea fair

[@steviousmusic]

So the "wall" you were hitting was actually the upper separatrons firing "into" the other separatrons, thus pushing your rocket down, ultimately slowing your speed. So it's actually thrusting into your own rocket that you want to prevent to maximize your speed. You can see at around 8:45, the moment the upper stage fires, your velocity instantly plummets.

[@a1104477]

Additionally the extra route is detrimental to the whole max altitude because of their weight through all the other burns. This wouldn't matter so much if they applied their thrust effectively but as you say they aren't applying any thrust at all.

[@danielli3701]

??

[@a1104477]

@@danielli3701 what's confusing?

[@llamallama1509]

Engines don't produce thrust if there's anything directly behind an engine disrupting its exhaust... like another sepatron.

[@BRD37]

I Had fun trying to do this challenge as well, I used 3 separation stage, like your final attempt, and 16 more of the tiny solid fuel engines , and a total of 14 action stages on the right side. But did manage to get up to 29350 M. So i believe you and your group, and probably continue to climb to new heights. I enjoyed the video thanks for making them.

[@hateful_harold973]

I don't have the attention span or patience for this game but God is it funny to watch. Especially when your building chaos

[@InternDotGif]

Chaos is the default state

[@swiftmoves]

@@InternDotGif hey shouldn't you try burning them all at once instead of burning in sequence? of course unless you're trying to get the highest height instead of the fastest speed... pls reply

[@theholypeanut8193]

​@@swiftmoves It says in the title.

[@williegamer800]

I like your vids as much as Blitz, but the two of you together is magic

[@alphapu6644]

10:34 my guess is that the second row of Sepatrons is blocking to much of the tip, thus hindering the air flow and creating additional drag...

[@Esionaly]

5:52 Tim just instantly stops smiling

[@azplays8356]

Very cool video, keep it up! ✊

[@BrandonMcBain]

I feel like there is a war that's going to happen now! 😂

[@willlokeer5469]

HA! Suck it Blitz! Great work Intern!

[@user-qp3ch5kv2d]

5:46 This is why Intern plays video games and doesn't design amusement parks.

[@Yoshi_yosj]

I didnt excpect to see this within 42 minutes of ir being released. Love it. Keep it up Intern.

[@mongecitos6298]

7:34 that rocket looks like a ice cream cone

[@KomoDough-iv8gu]

The missed opportunity is to use the lightest pod for human and lightest probe for record

[@manishkhandelwal2582]

idea for a better challenge Challenge 1- Make the rocket that travel to the mun in fastest time. Buuuutttttt, the weight of craft shouldn't be more than 69 ton Challenge 2- Make a rocket catapult that launches the Object to a certain distance. buuuttt, the object should not have any kind of thrusters or Rockets. Hope you will make a video on it with @blitz and @Realcivilengineer

[@Walker_96365]

You should go for a max g-once record

[@ContentCrows]

Mans designing vectors rocket ship from despicable me... 😂💀

[@zbailey636]

There's a glitch that thrust applied to an object creates reverse thrust. You're literally boosting down when you fire them off. Even the 1st stages on the tail are slowing you down

[@Hello-cf9ms]

You have the best videos

[@plebetopro5786]

Use a Probe Core instead of a cockpit, and KSP always did weird crap when boosters shot at each other. IE your upper row of seps on the cockpit not boosting.

[@JtheRaven]

maybe trying firing all separatrons at the same time and decouple everything but the pod when fuel is out. The problem is that you only have a few engines trying to lift all the weight of the structure

[@macron6205]

RCE is missing a record, the engineering record for the best Rocket ever

[@247s7]

That one time when your PC turned into a lightbulb...

[@mad-dog_gamer]

Did you try adding a small fuel, more weight but longer burn.

[@AtaLuko]

My PR is 84280 meters 😁 so there is space for improvement

[@daymaster1]

I'm wondering if it's that the others were on the parachute dispenser and that's what's wrong

[@brettpennington2951]

125,175m. I'm sure this can be improved on. It was a fun challenge and I'm happy to provide the craft file if interested.

[@HalfWolf2]

Homie really made the droplet from simpleplanes

[@princegoku3813]

Please make a trailmakers video

[@Cj-mj4xg]

I'm tempted but being that this wasn't made by the original devs I'm a bit cautious

[@stuff_is_good]

Meanwhile another ksp 2 tryhard makes it to Jool and says its easy

[@biggusriggus7693]

So question as someone who hasn't played this. Would adding spin cause it to create less resistance and go further? Or would angling the separatrons decrease the force downwards too much?

[@swiftmoves]

im pretty sure the spin helps it slice through the air better.

[@biggusriggus7693]

@@swiftmoves yea, that was my thoughts, but not exactly versed in engineering and aerodynamics

[@Niraol]

Always add decouplers so you progressively loose mass while boosting trough stages

[@UkrainianBazooka]

You made it to about 65,000 feet, about the cruising altitude of a U2 spy plane.

[@GimbleOnDew]

Except kerbin gravity is around 1ms^2 where on earth it's 9.8

[@haydengrimes897]

How much is the cost to install i

[@TheBulletProofGun]

Make a space station

[@Yr_Lx]

its really hard, i tried making one but the kraken keeps attacking me when i send it into orbit

[@jumetallic]

The first design is better because of the aerodynamics of that design. keep trying better aerodynimic designs.

[@shadowraptorplays7163]

finally im first likea nd comment, also you do great vids intern, do more of this, it good, and you were very smart with the air resistance

[@jetjazz05]

I understand making something as complex as KSP2 is no easy task... I purchased KSP after KSP2 came out because it was only 10 bucks on sale and I haven't played the original in about 5 years. I had high hopes a lot of those bugs from 5 years ago would be fixed and many youtubers said that KSP2 was just too buggy to be playable.... NOPE. Just doing simple stuff like going to the Mun there was so many glitches, bugs, kraken BS that I just quit playing after 2 or 3 hours. I HAD high hopes for 2, but after going back to see what almost 8 years of progress got us on the original and frankly... I don't think they have the ability to make 2 better than one. In 5 years 2 will finally catch up to how buggy 1 is now and frankly that's some stress I don't need. I'm into playing games I find fun, and constantly figuring out why bugs are happening isn't doing it for me.

sorry but i beated it

[@pravculear]

Hi @InternDotGif and everyone else!

[@definitelybored]

I thought sepatrons were for separating booster stages 🫤

[@seanmessick9330]

They are. They are small rockets that launch the boosters from the main rocket
