I Went For A Drive, Ended Up In Space | Elite Dangerous

[@Spatula007]

Incredible shots! It's 106 ly drive to Sol, we got a full tank of fuel, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark in space and we're wearing tinted visors. Hit it.

[@GhostGiraffe]

You should check out his (Spatula’s) channel, pretty funny stuff

yeah... no "featuring Mars" :(

"Come take a ride, in my beautiful balloon We'll use the death-ray to burn our names into the moon.." For some reason this little SRV that could moment sent me right back to an old QC comic. Funny how the mind works. Thanks for the video!

[@millstonebarn]

Absolutely wonderful. Thank you Ghost Giraffe for sharing these experiences. Now do it in a space suit 😊

[@GhostGiraffe]

Trying! Sooo much death

[@paranoidrodent]

@@GhostGiraffe Maybe use the SRV as a resupply point and zip away from it for your footage shots and then return to refill your battery?

[@viperregained69420]

@@GhostGiraffe go to a low g planet, get an anaconda, hide inside of one of the large hardpoints on top (trust me lol) then once inside of the hardpoint activate the shield and dismiss your ship, make sure to not fall out of the hardpoint while the ships nose points upwards, once the ship jumps out you should be nearly out of the planets atmosphere and still traveling upwards.

[@GhostGiraffe]

We tried that but it was too slow. Our method got us up to speeds around 2400m/s

[@potteryjoe]

Frontier gives us Space Legs. Space Giraffe shows us Space Wheels. Lovely video, great job

This has such an epic NASA space exploration feel but it then has the hilarious SRV floating around in the most beautiful places!! Love how you did this, excellent work guys!!!!

[@GhostGiraffe]

Thanks so much! Your music perfect for it :)

[@alexhndr]

Ghost Giraffe Breaking the Frontier, since 2017 SRV in Sag A* soon?

Your SRV has been everywhere, from the highest point in the galaxy to the orbit of planets and deep space (well 0.16LS into deep space :P)

I'm with ya. I watched this whole thing and was thinking "That took a LONG time to PhotoShop!" Until the actual footage and methods are seen, that's what I'm sticking to.

[@NaughtyShepherd]

You gotta have the record for the longest distance traveled in an SRV. 🤣😂🤣

0.26LS here (last time I looked ... and none of this "flying through space" nonsense either! 🤣

Just AWESOME... love the music! :o) This is why we play ED captured in 4min and 33sec... :o)

Very Heavy Metal, for those who have seen that movie from the 80s.

[@sircompo]

Holy shit; just rewatched this muted with "Takin' a Ride" playing in the background instead. Enough of the transitions match with the music to make it seem like it was by design!

[@rimbaud0000]

[@kaytianna]

EPIC.

[@SusannaSaunders]

Awesome Video! So many awesome shots! How did you get an SRV into space? I'd love to do that!

[@KoGHerbMan]

Have a friend with a big ship take you there. You land on the ship and try to stay on

[@GhostGiraffe]

Different technique used here ;)

[@5T3LTH]

managed to launch into space from a very low gravity body one time. I got scared and self destructed immediately. This is pretty awesome video. Also curious as to the ghost giraffe method.

[@GhostGiraffe]

We will “detail” how in the next video

[@Jaaxfo]

I swear, with just a little recutting, you could recreate the ST:TOS intro with this

[@alecturner07]

Wow ... this video is absolutely sensational ... nice one! I have so many questions. :D

[@GhostGiraffe]

Very happy you liked it!

[@Broken-Silencer]

Surely, you know by now not to over inflate your tyres.

[@GhostGiraffe]

Like that ancient Donald Duck episode

[@maruf7956]

Need more video

[@skplunkerin]

but... but how??? Is this an engineer upgrade? Did you use a really big mountain as a ramp? Did you (ever so slowly) ride atop a ship until you were out of orbit? Was there a geyser strong enough to eject you from a planet? 🤔 Please... tell us your secrets!

[@fabioschehr9801]

Since he collides with asteroids he must have been able to deploy it mid flight. Since asteroids dont load in unless you load the instance by dropping in

[@IshanKashyap001]

It's a bug

[@GhostGiraffe]

No bug just clever use of game mechanics

[@sidequestslive]

Haha! Fantastic

Where Big Max from Armageddon when he got blown out of the asteroid

[@seraph535]

How did you do this? It would be amazing to launch into space like that. Also: WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[@mrgabchilla6804]

Now it remains to do the same, but with the pilot on foot

[@helmetongrass1893]

how did this possibly happen????

[@GhostGiraffe]

Lots and lots of practice

[@scottjgray]

Awesome, I would love to know how long that all took?

[@GhostGiraffe]

Let’s see..... after finding a cool system then planning and lining up the SRV for launch it took 20 minutes to get into space and then about 1-2 hrs of filming in space. Times that by 8 systems and then editing about 3 hours of footage into 4:33 mins..... comes out to: forever ;)

[@pietarus2485]

How do you get it to look so beautiful, it feels like a different game. Is it high resolution?

[@GhostGiraffe]

Imagination;)

[@michaeijcaboose2037]

I've never been early to a ghost giraffe video early.

[@RadiCalvo]

Very nice! Now I have only two questions: Does other ships detect you? if the answer is yes: what they read from the SRV? And the biggest one: Where in the hell is Mars?

[@GhostGiraffe]

No only ships in same wing. Mars in orbiting Sol.
