Going to Mercury and Back (KSP/RSS/RO) [4K]

[@KSP2ube]

Here are my other videos:) Going to Neptune and Back (KSP/RSS/RO): kzbin.info/www/bejne/onqvd6iCl9uLfqM

[@AluminumOxide]

Whoa dude your orbital construction altitude is not in LEO but MEO (2500 km +)

[@KSP2ube]

Yeah I've wanted to show a full view of the earth. So I've intentionally increased my orbit.

[@mgquayyum]

any way for you to provide craft file I kinda wanna use it in my ksp

[@oberonpanopticon]

Are those magnetoplasmadynamic thrusters?

[@vertice30c26]

Bro built his craft so high up

[@lewismassie]

This was pretty cool

[@MrCubFan415]

1:03 kOS?

[@Countryballsandstuff999]

How about next going interstellar in real Exoplanets?

[@Countryballsandstuff999]

What mod did you use for the ship?

[@Countryballsandstuff999]

One of them is Near Future Technologies

[@Ōkami6466]

I found it kind of frustrating not to see the kerbals.

[@jaypaint4855]

I have one bone to pick with you. Your gravity turns are waaaayyyy too steep. You should be 30° by 30km roughly, and your orbits shouldn’t really be higher than 400km/400km. It’s not wrong doing things the way you did, but it is extremely inefficient.

[@KSP2ube]

I've considered the aesthetic parts when making the video so that the whole curvature of the earth can be seen during the insertion burn. So I had to compromise:)

[@Jkauppa]

did the mercury work for you as measurement tool

[@KSP2ube]

What do you mean for measurement tools?

[@Jkauppa]

[@makssachs8914]

Are you sure this isn’t KSRSS?

[@witchofengineering]

it is RSS (curvature of the planets is visible), but they're using far future engines so it's kinda easy actually

[@makssachs8914]

@@witchofengineering The parking orbit around earth seems unusually high.

[@witchofengineering]

@@makssachs8914 huh, true... but I think in the launches it looks more like the curvature you're expecting from the actual Earth than from Kerbin-sized Earth... also, the op mentioned RO, which doesn't make any sense with KSRSS

[@AluminumOxide]

His orbit construction altitude is roughly 3000 km

[@KSP2ube]

RSS uses the same scale of earth which is bigger than kerbin. I think that made the difference of curvature.

No gravity assist? Unrealistic but ok

[@jaypaint4855]

It’s not really unrealistic, it’s just much more costly in terms of delta/v.
