Building a Single-Launch Duna Base Using an SSTO! - KSP

[@Hazard-ish]

Who needs SCIENCE points when you can have STYLE points!

[@bob38028]

I don't know why you faked some other vids, but you're one of the most skilled ksp players out there! Keep it up!

[@EliteGeeks]

that was awesome...

[@fishywishyfishfisk]

Daniel Rhodes As I understood it he said it was basically because he'd put in so much time and effort into making the Tilt-Wing for example and he didnt want to just scrap it all.

[@EliteGeeks]

also, it was an engine from another build that was not checked that he had modded the settings.

[@ghostfox2473]

Hazard-ish If you're going to make a ksp video that's fake, at least put it in the description. you obviously used infinite fuel hacks for this. your take off from duna started with and ended with 0 oxidizer. using rocket engines.

[@hiimhenry333]

Can't help but give you credit for that genius setup for the encounter with the KSC. Making the aerobrake against the rotation of the planet to perfectly reenter above the runway... truly magnificent.

[@anakarada]

Me if I was doing this: "Oh man, I forgot the docking port.." "Oh shoot, the landing legs are placed wrong." "Damn it, the solar panels are crashing into the vessel." "Heck, the base won't get out of the cargo bay.." "Crap, where did my Kerbal go..?"

[@samuelheisler9930]

well , he forgot to bring one of the kerbals

[@haroldinho9930]

Well, it was fake anyway

[@thesauciestboss4039]

[@haroldinho9930]

The Sauciest Boss There’s prof, look at fuel when he takes off Duna

[@ryanhtran]

Nexim You do realize there was a mining drill on the station and a refinery so that he could mine and refuel right?

[@danieldelaney3793]

Genius design for unpacking the station!

[@DomBee_e]

Exceptional music, thought-through and elegant design, fitting cinematic shots kept in low number, thus not irritating. I must say, that this is one of the best KSP videos I've seen yet. Keep up the great work!

[@Keklord_]

Beautiful, I loved the base setup! :D It was amazing to hear the Motherload music too.

[@MarkThrimm]

Ok Hazardish admit it, that Duna landing totally happened on the first try, didn't it :) I love your self-assembling base!

[@Azarath304]

and the music made it feel like we were in a Jean Claude Van Damm movie from the 90's. I was waiting for a kerbal training montage!

[@heruhcanedean]

Mark, but watch his oxidizer on his return, it made me sad.

[@VulcanGamesReal]

Cause it was nuclear engines

[@VulcanGamesReal]

so they do not need Oxidizer

[@colbyherod6154]

[@Alex-Lay]

That base assembly, the sheath for the docking ports, and the camerawork during that shot were incredible. Nice stuff Hazardish!

[@SpaceMarineGandhi]

The cinematography in this video is amazing. I was dumbfounded the entire time with the presentation AND the absolute complexity of the builds

[@Nekzuris]

Oh damn the trick with the radial communotron for make a great connection between docking port is awesome !

[@Yonkage]

That disassembling and reassembling base was definitely the most impressive part of this.

[@KipperStudios]

I used to play a lot of KSP. I have very nearly 600 steam hours logged on it... and I've never, not once, ever come close to pulling off something as impressive as that. Fuck me, fuck you, that was mind blowing and amazing in every single way. Nicely done.

[@johncarnett2668]

600? I laugh at thy. I have 1500 last time I checked (I think), and have flown a rover to Eeloo. I'm joking of course. Not about the hours (I love orbital mechanics, rockets and shit), but about my temperament. Also, I've never pulled off an SSTO in that time, even in Sandbox. I can't even build a flyable shuttle to save my arse. It can fly OK for a bit, but then she just does a barrel roll and nose dives.

[@gsquared8730]

Dude, kids watch these sometimes. I’m one of them.

[@nerfjanetreal]

my biggest accomplishment is eloo ssto using kraken drive i found myself(it turned out it was found before me)

[@martellx4157]

9:53-9:56 I was surprised

[@Charles-7]

Steven Martelly that kind of move would kill ya, i think

[@Charles-7]

Steven Martelly in real life that is

[@heruhcanedean]

Steven, look at his oxidizer while he's on Duna, 7:10, and it's even more amazing.

[@bwjclego]

What's so amazing about his oxidizer? Run the rockets till it runs out when leaving Kerbin, don't need it the rest of the time since he used nuclear engines. EDIT: Oxidizer shown during his duna landing would be in the base itself (it needs oxidizer for its assembly engines)

[@creeptdm8216]

Steven Martelly Landing Trick

[@nightcorefusion3884]

I don't know what's more impressive here. Your piloting skills or the design of that base. I would have never come up with something so simple yet so effective.

[@Matihood1]

5:13 That song... Nostalgia in the face.

[@tylerkluttz3688]

About two years ago, I made a Duna base similar to the planned Mars base in NASA's currently shelved Constellation programme. The logic was all there, and I had it all figured out, but I kept smashing into Duna everytime I tried. Time and time again, every flight ended with me leaving yet another black mark on Duna's surface. Eventually I just gave up and used Hyperedit. :'D Unrelated, but this video is astounding. Really love the time and effort put into this.

[@МистерЕгерь2]

5:32 At this point I remembered Lego Racer 2

[@gauravgk1173]

The wing design, base setup, cinematography, sheer skill, once again never fail to impress!

[@Admiral45-10]

Hey, Hazard, I have a perfect challenge for you: are you renember your mission to Eeloo in only 3,6 tons? It takes about 84 years...now fly to Eeloo and back to Kerbin in maximum amount of time ONE KERBAL YEAR. I know, it would be hard... but look at the good sites: your Kerbalonaut will start the mission in 18 years old, and after mission he (or she, I don't care): only 19 years old! Pretty young, you must say!

[@Hazard-ish]

Now THAT is a fantastic idea!

[@Admiral45-10]

Wow, thanks! KZbinr TurboPomped showed the film about the rocket with 75 000 DeltaV; he will tell you more about it, but you must see it: you'll know, what does it take and how does it work.

[@mineeagle2651]

Wow google translate at its best

[@seantaggart7382]

That's a good idea It would also be good with nasa!

[@gsquared8730]

@@Admiral45-10 TorboPomped?

[@waverlyseptember4891]

Very nice base assembly. But more importantly in my opinion is the fact that this is one of my favourite-looking SSTOs I've ever seen. I love the curved wing design, and getting that engine configuration to work must've taken some clever engineering.

[@SamaelVR]

This makes me want to keep trying with my SSTO's instead of giving up.

[@quoniam426]

Love the very close landing at the end, gear was fully deployed at the very same second it touched the ground. One second earlier on the landing and the plane would have crashed or bounced off. Plane looks good btw.

[@floris4988]

5:11 oh god, that song is my childhood

[@axlecharleston2582]

That there, that is one of the most gorgeous cargo SSTOs I think I have ever seen. Who says industry doesn't have to look good?? Also for the record, that return to Kerbin was insane. How did you line it up so perfectly to skip and come back right on top of the KSC!? I'm honestly astounded. Top marks all around for this mission.

[@kalebbruwer]

I've landed on Duna before, but base building is one of those things I just can't do. Along with planes, cargo carrying SSTOs, slingshots, landing at the KSC, capturing asteroids for less fuel than they give you, transfer to a planet with an inclined orbit...

[@raphaelwaggoner3200]

For the last one you mentioned, you're gonna want to plan a second maneuver node on your projected first maneuver path, and add some normal/anti-normal push to it so that the apoapsis of your transfer orbit matches the inclination of the planet.

[@lunarlunatic274]

I was not expecting the science station to disassemble like that. Great job!

[@phoneix0074]

yay you finally used that awsome SSTO design ^_^

[@hughjanus6209]

That base assembly was a master piece! I've tried to do something like that before, and I have to say my attempt was laughable compared to this. Designing something in a way that makes the end product look nice and functional while still making it able to be folded up like that is no easy task! Really awesome job as usual :D

[@EtoileBleu52]

YEAHHHHHH HE CAME... BACK

[@Steve-uu7yx]

ive been trying to get an ssto of that size working for weeks and you figured it out effortlessly!

[@KJRico93]

Dang, that landing. Looked like the G meter was pegged in the red. Nice job, I can't build a good ssto for anything, can't ever seem to get the transition between atmosphere and space right. I always lose control at around 30 to 40 Km up.

[@edwardvandermeer7455]

Man Of War that means your plane doesn't have enough thrust. try to get to 10 km ASAP, and then flaten your plane out a bit (5 to 10 degrees) and if your plane doesn't hit the 1300 m/s mark before 16 km, you need more thrust. also, switch on your nuclear engines (or other vacuum engines) at the height of 16 km. switch your rapiers to closed cycle not long after. you might want to close your intakes when they are unnecessary (reduces drag). hope it helps👍

[@KJRico93]

Edward V.D. Meer Thanks for the tips, I'll give em a try.

[@edwardvandermeer7455]

Man Of War no problem

[@mrjspeed]

I think the closing of the intakes no longer has an effect on drag as per testing in the lastest version of KSP

[@edwardvandermeer7455]

mrjspeed well, i said it was optional. and it's a habit. i also like to make sure. as i am a "precision engineering person" (have exactly or not enough for the mission, and then carry it out)
