Mike, I started playing stock this year and you are the single reason I can still play. I have learned every last bit of knowledge I could have from you and I am very thankful. Please continue to make videos.

[@MikeAben]

Will do.

[@JohnWilliamNowak]

Maybe ripple-fire the SRBs by pairs. IRL the three SRBs on Mercury's reentry package would be fired in sequence, not at the same time.

[@MikeAben]

I did try that but didn't put it in the video. I used six or eight of these thin SRBs (I don't recall the name), firing them off in pairs. Didn't do any better. Perhaps a cluster of Aerojets, but either way, I did get a rocket to work with the tech I had. It'll likely get mentioned next ep with the build and mission hopefully the episode after that

[@JohnWilliamNowak]

@@MikeAben Yeah, I was thinking of the G-load.

[@MikeAben]

@@JohnWilliamNowak Oh, on poor Albert. Yeah, that would have been smarter. I could easily have fired the separation motors in pairs. To be honest, I was just so happy when the vessel first survived reentry during simulation that I put it in the building queue without much more thought. The g-load didn't occur to me until I mentioned it during the descent. Something to think about next time.

[@JohnWilliamNowak]

@@MikeAben Right, it's a "We got away with it this time" moment, but it's something to keep in mind for the first crewed orbiter.

[@n0r3gr3ts]

As always, great stuff! Sometimes less is more but not when it comes to your reputation.

[@MikeAben]

Thanks.

@15:15 Of course! November 5th, 1955! That was the day I invented time travel.

[@OmnipotentNoodle]

[@andreipk8860]

Was waiting so bad this video, keep up with the serie it's great

[@neobrandeggen]

It's that time of day again, love this series man!

[@paeporeckoner]

you say around 14:40 that you had yet to advance the game a single day but didn't you just last episode advance the game something like 5 months? hmmm... Anyways love your stuff - keep it up!

[@MikeAben]

I just meant during all that designing I just talked about.

[@AutoBotPlays]

Ah good old Series is back!

[@MikeAben]

Never really went away. Every other Saturday.

[@philipsommer7175]

How do you have both RCS and the Liquid Fueled Engine enabled? Whenever I try to use RCS to prevent ullage issues the throttle only controls the RCS fore thrusters. And the enigne doesn't even light :(

[@MikeAben]

I've not encountered that problem. I'm not sure what to suggest.

[@philipsommer7175]

I eventually resolved the problem, although I don't know what exactly fixed it. I disabled the Staging for the Thruster Blocks and instead put it on the Toggle RCS action group (which I was was surprised is not done automatically. Also, I switched from Helium to Nitrogen. The Aerobee config also used Helium, so this may have cause a conflict.

[@MikeAben]

@@philipsommer7175 Glad you worked it out. I used nitrogen from the start, so maybe that was it.

[@garyengelman7867]

Would you please, If able, make available to KOS scraps you've been using? I'm sure many of us would like to take a look at them and see if we can deconstruct them and figure out what's going on. Thanks so much.

[@MikeAben]

They are available on the Discord linked in the description #kos-github-info. The Discord provides a nice forum to ask questions too.

[@MikeAben]

I've also added a link to the GitHub in the description.

[@garyengelman7867]

Thanks@@MikeAben
