[@deanmilos4909]

*Beardy talking abou the planned Soviet Venus fly by* Oh he is actually doing this "It's crewed" Oh okay but I mean the Soviets were a little crazy , no way he's going to do this with a crew , he'll assemble the station in Earth's orbit , he'll slingshot it to Venus and back without any crew and he'll be like " ha ha , look , I could have sent Kerbals to Venus but I didn't" *Sees he's actually launching crew up to the first module* No What? waitwaitwaitwaitwait W H A T ?

[@Firebolt193]

Pretty much my reaction. When I saw 'Crewed Flyby' and 'Venus' on the screen I had to pause the video to understand wtf it was Beardy was pulling

[@JoeBurgerCinematicUniverse]

damn, a crewed venus mission before the time of our real-world moon missions

[@l4bells851]

I really did not expect a crewed venus mission this early??? Jesus nice pace and good episode

Babe, wake up, Beardy posted a new episode of For All Kerbal Kind

[@_mikolaj_]

Post watch, I just love how randomly this is for us viewers. 2 years of buildup to lunar landings, and then beardy out of void is like "hm, interplanetary time"

Congratulations on getting your masters!

And to think this is the same man who during the collaboration station built the most inefficient rocket possible that didn't even go into orbit before arriving at the station. Congrats on the masters Beardy

WELL DONE WITH THE GRADUATION! I love when youtubers do something more than entertain (not that there is anything bad about doing just that) seeing people do so much in so little time gives me hope for myself. hope the venus mission goes well.

It's decided: For All Kerbalkind only ends when the first kerbal step on Mars! RED ROCKS OR WE RIOT!

[@qzg7857]

With this pace it will be in next 2 episodes

Nah, end For all Kerbalkind when someone lands on Venus and returns

[@formerlypurple]

How exactly do you plan something like this? Especially the return to earth part? You have a LITERAL DEGREE in it (congratulations btw!!) but is there some kind of tool of process that's more efficient than trial and error that doesn't require excessive expertise? This is super impressive and VERY COOL, soviet spacecraft always had such a unique and awesome style that I love to see in action! Congrats again on your degree and good luck with your new job!

[@TheBeardyPenguin]

I used Transfer Window Planner and my understanding of how gravity assists work to figure out how much delta v would be needed If you want to plan an exact trajectory this complicated though, you start needing computational tools such as GMAT, in combination with a few different orbit determination methods depending what parameters you know

[@spaceobsessedfemboy]

Oh my gosh, I thought I somehow missed an episode or something when I saw that title, but no! I've mostly been rooting for N9, but this is just an incredible achievement.

[@Totally_Bonkers]

bro got a space degree, decided to prove it in the same episode

[@theconquerorGPWM]

Glory to our Union! Eternal, indivisible and invincible! Glory to the brave cosmonauts heading into the depths of space! Glory to the ones who look forward!

[@stephen5656]

I'm fairly certain there have been psychological studies about having only two people in close confinement with each other for prolonged periods of time. Especially when they cant even talk on the radio in real time due to distance. Long story short the usual result is by the end of it they want to murder each other. It's why realistically for such a long mission three or four people would be an absolute minimum just to keep the crew sane.

[@Sokko325]

'Our first space station in Earth orbit may have failed but fet not! We will soon be sending our Kerbonauts around Venus.' I'm sure the crew will have full confidence in their mission.

[@Joshs4stro]

18 episodes and multiple launches and tests building up to a moon landing, 2 episodes and 1 launch to venus

[@Destroyer_V0]

In fairness, you can view the lunar missions as important milestones in finding out EVERYTHING WRONG with long term space travel to other bodies, along with being able to make a set of requirements that they THINK, they will need. Also, the soviets just lost the moon. This is one of their classic propaganda rush jobs that the soviets would do in reality.

[@pl-AEtheRR]

I for one really enjoy it when somewhat historical mission profiles are achieved with less historically accurate craft. Replicas are fun and all but this *is* an alternative history. I'm always more excited for your inventions and designs than accurate replicas of real vessels that I've seen fly in real life and KSP countless times already.

[@ABCDFG-vc8so]

No ones gonna see this, but i love the background music while Rogotka module on the N1 launches, like a subdued, awed technological sound, like in awe of the mission, its a nice thing in the background and i liked it :)

[@mkxxv8932]

That's a big jump from the Moon to Interplanetary

[@verdiss7487]

It was a big jump from orbital to lunar, too

[@DOSFS]

Flyby is a lot easier than landing in many sense, still... pretty rad!

[@martinplivard1824]

Not realy with a lot of planing

[@mikhailiagacesa3406]

@@verdiss7487 I'm rooting for Beardy, but I admired N9's Gemini-lunar fly by.

OMG THIS IS AMAZING. any day can be a good day as long as beardy penguin posts a video.

It’s crazy. I remember way back when you and TAPE were doing these same cool “multiplayer” franchises and building whack aircraft that worked freakishly well, and now you are a literal rocket scientist. Keep on, Beardy!

"We make this journey, not knowing if we may return to the planet we call home, not for ourselves, but for the future of Kerbalkind. Constantin and I hope, through our labours, to show the capacity for our species, man and woman alike, through cooperation, solidarity and Marxism-Leninism, to visit new worlds and take our place amongst the stars. ¡Patria o Muerte, Venceremos!" -Major Milli Kerbin, Defensa Anti-Aérea y Fuerza Aérea Revolucionaria, final publicised transmission prior to ignition of trans-Venus injection stage.

[@Max-ee3xw]

Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe the reason the VA capsule is capable of lunar reentry is that prior too TKS is was intended for a lunar flyby launched on Proton.

[@JohnWilliamNowak]

I believe TKS was intended for the Almaz project, with a lunar flyby (on a free return trajectory) as a secondary mission. However, the Politburo insisted on the L1 project, which was a Korolev Soyuz (without an orbital module) and Korolev lunar transfer stage launched on a Proton. L1, also sometimes called Zond, was not successful. Of 13 (uncrewed) launches, only one would have been survivable by a human being. If the Proton succeeded, then something would go wrong on the Korolev side, and vice-versa. They did launch some tortoises and recovered them. With the failure of L1 and L3 (The N1 crewed mission) Konstantin Feoktistov went over Mishin's head (Korolov's successor) to snatch Almaz and pretend Salyut was their intention all along.

[@raptorfae.6645]

Well that was unexpected. I see the whole "had it not been for a gentleman's agreement i would've beaten you to the moon" thing finally got to you... In all honesty I hope this mission goes well,i remember reading about apollo-venus a while ago but i never thought of you doing a soviet equivalent,not so soon anyway. (Maybe if you're planning on doing more manned missions in the future you could pack a few unmanned landers and atmospheric probes like the Vega/Pioneer venus probes Also congrats on graduating,and good to see salyut 1s initial crew turn up ok, unlike what unfortunately happened to the crew aboard soyuz 11 irl...

Congratulations on your degree!!

[@monika-Chr]

Hey Beardy! I know im only one fish in a pond here but im nearly off-bound to university myself to get into aerospace engineering and wanted to hear some advice from you. Its a really big ocean of a degree, especially jumping headfirst into a 5 year master’s program. I doubt you’ll see this but on the off chance you do, id love to hear some stuff from someone who’s recently graduated with their masters before Im off! Love your videos, you’re an inspiration mate. 😄

[@TheBeardyPenguin]

Thanks for the kind words :) My only advice is to learn the basics of coding in C++ and Python before you start an engineering degree as they'll expect you to know it and usually won't teach it. They'll catch you up on all the maths you need to know if you didn't do further maths like me, so don't worry about that. Don't let yourself get behind on module content because you'll never have time to catch up. When you have free time get ahead on the lecture content if possible and never be afraid to ask stupid questions because I can guarantee half the class is thinking them. Best of luck and I hope you enjoy it!

[@nunosousa8022]

it get's even more crazy when you realise the longest any single person has been in space for a continues amount of time was 14 months in 1994/5. To be fair it was also set by a cosmonaut on his second flight but it was on Mir and to figure out if something on the scale of a Venus flyby was safe, specifically a mars mission) and you just went and decided to try and surpass the IRL record on a whim in the 1960s....

Hey beardy! ( even if you don't have a beard irl ) i think you should make a type of capsule that has a lander or rover ( kinda like percy ) with a large heavy shield ( if you have it that is ) with a docking port on front and use a "booster" to push your self to venus best work

@@HalNordmann it's the most frequent comment we get, but the answer is no. It's not feasible with the parts we have, plus coordinating that many saves/KZbinrs would be a nightmare and turn the series into another Kollaborative Warfare with months between episodes.
