KSP 1.2.2 RSS: Direct Manned Mission To Mercury And Back

[@grantexploit5903]

The most ambitious mission that I think would still be possible: Return Voyager 1 to Earth in KSP RSS with stock parts. Do it.

[@jmstudios457]

What about single stage to everywhere, no refueling?

40000 thousand years later, voyager 1 returns with the words "return to sender" written in alien

@@jmstudios457 Good luck :")

[@bsheaves]

Scott Manley did a video on this back in the day. He was using RSS procedural parts and concluded that it’s basically impossible. Turns out building something with 140 km/s of delta V is very challenging

[@adent6x7]

I was wondering why you had so many solar panels; and then i saw them ion engines... patience of a saint

[@ChiyoBebe.]

In RSS, you can use ion engines in normal time warp

[@MatterBeamTSF]

1:32 Haha it's a one-rocket kessler syndrome. Good job with the stock parts.

[@deadlybladesmith3093]

I love the song at the beginning. For those who dont know, it is called "Norwegian Pirate" by TSFH. I came here from some rando comment. Dont know why. But there is TSFH, so I'm staying.

[@deadlybladesmith3093]

@All Rounder shariq "actually" its Norwegian pirate.

[@alexsiemers7898]

As if Moho in stock KSP wasn't enough of a hell to get to...

[@Saturnares]

nasa if they had 1% of the united states budget

[@thedroplett214]

what a rain of debris at the 2nd stage separation.

[@NovemberOrWhatever]

I thought stock meant stock balanced, not stock-stock, but no, you have magic RSS powers, oh and did anyone else notice the lack of asparagus?

[@CapitalismScorner]

Эпичность видео зашкаливает. Ода мечте человечества о звёздах. Победа разума над кажущимися бесконечными расстояниями космоса... Пусть пока виртуальная :) Музыка очень удачно подобрана. Вспомнилось своё, ещё юношеское: Per aspera ad astra О, звёздные миры, нас ждущие вдали! Когда наступит нашей встречи срок? Когда же наконец сыны Земли Преступят столь манящий их порог? Мы - гордые потомки тех, Кто в небо изо тьмы пещер глядел, Кто кутал тело в грязный мех, Но знал: иной начертан им удел! В мечтах нетленных руки протянув, Хотим понять далёких солнц призыв. Лишь время и пространство обманув, Мы прикоснёмся к тайнам многих див! Но будешь ли готов ты имярек К познанию неведомых глубин? Из разумом одаренных существ, о Человек Быть может во вселенной ты один?

[@TheLoganatorz]

I...Am....Amazed and Inspired You have earned another sub

[@linecraftman3907]

Just reading description made me feel that I suck at KSP

[@Illyrien]

By the Omnissiah, that was amazing! Seems I must just try hard on my Mercury missions.

[@danoedalo]

These behemoth spacecraft again...

[@Freak80MC]

You know this is an amazing video when it's just a mission to Mercury, probably one of the most boring planets, yet I still keep finding myself coming back to watch it.

[@alexsiemers7898]

It's the epic music, isn't it?

[@witchofengineering]

Mission to LEO takes 10km/s delta-v. Mission to Moon takes 18klm/s delta-v. Mission to Mars takes 24km/s delta-v. Mission to Mercury takes 39km/s delta-v. So.... I don't think Mercury is dull.

[@Freak80MC]

The delta-V expended to get anywhere doesn't negate the fact of the body itself being boring.

[@tripzero0]

The most energetic planet in the solar system, has helium-3, and water that's easier to access than Mars. Not boring.

[@alexvel9907]

Круто все от инженерной мысли до подачи. За треки отдельное спасибо! 100 баллов из 10

[@thomasmaxfield8953]

"realistic"

[@the1pod222]

Best mission I have ever seen!

[@Countryballsandstuff999]

Stupidly Close to the Sun: Check High Gravity and no Atmosphere: not check Hazardous Terrain: not czech Teaming with the spirits of damn people: Check Delta V Requirements: YES!

[@WayneInfinity0526]

What happens when you use same spacecraft in kerbol system?

[@gabem3593]

This is amazing

[@christiane.g.4142]

finally! A Kerbal mission to .Y fave planet !

[@kerbalrools06ksp64]

How did you get eve im tryung in 1.2.2 but its not working

[@sahanabibi1250]

you used more boosters than you used to go to pluto

[@dsdy1205]

Pluto is easier to go to than Mercury

[@foudelespace3729]

The trajectory it is a hohmann transfert?

[@tripzero0]

Can KSP launch from moon? Or can Earth's gravity be changed? Should be much less extreme to launch from the moon.

[@ScienceRules118]

I'm curious - would this be easier or harder with RO? Your LV might be smaller (and would definitely have a smaller part count if you used ROTanks), but at the same time you'd need even more patience and power generation for using ion engines.

[@schedarian-]

Сам летал на Меркурий и заметил интересные факты, первое это довольно мощная гравитация (из-за большого тяжелого ядра) и следовательно высокая орбитальная скорость (для сравнения, Ганимед больше, однако орбиталка там на 30-40 процентов ниже)

[@exalosm]

Потому что солнце сдувало легкие элементы подальше, вот одно железо с никелем и осталось

[@chandraaerospace6114]

This is one of the Greatest KSP videos of all time... P.S: You make some of the Best KSP videos there are, any plans for new ones?

[@the_HoDeok]

Nice video!

[@J_dnnn]

How much did that cost to build

[@tripzero0]

How many days did it take to make landing?

[@annonnymous-z8t]

Beautiful

[@bt-iq8jt]

Bruh! Allot of boosters = Its Ranining BOOSTERS!!!!!

[@mattice5685]

👏👏👏👏

[@diamondmcgaming2866]

Use this rocket in the stock system and see how far it can go

How to cause winter with one rocket Anyway great video

And I thought bin sfs I was good by doing a mission to mercury and back

Unlike you, exalosm, I'm gonna use a Venus Gravity Assist to reach Mercury

Are you using some sort of nasa super computer?

No, he's using THE nasa supercomputer.
