Kerbal Space Program - Getting to space (What Da Math)

Hello and welcome to What Da Math.
In this introductory video I will try to demonstrate why it's not that easy to get into space and why going directly up will not actually help you achieve the necessary orbit.
Thank you and please subscribe!

I started watching you because of your Universe Sandbox and SpaceEngine videos, and these videos got me into Kerbal Space Program years ago. Thanks dude, love your content

[@yesno6290]

glad this still here. need it now XD. thanks, wonderful person.

[@kemryge8450]

I could honestly watch your videos for days...

[@andersrasmussen3942]

In respospective this is a really fun video - I enjoy the new videos from Anton imensely but this style from him is also quite enjoyable :-)

[@ovihaliuc5884]

Gonna binge watch these vintage gems till Anton gets settled in his new home after being homeless for a bit.

[@Strength_In_Wisdom]

And now I remember how i ended up subscribed to such a genius lol

[@RadicalCaveman]

"I'm going to call it Mr. Pi... uh... One because there was no failure before that." LOL!

[@veralenora7368]

Door Monster, a YT channel, did a series of live actor vids based on this. Excellent! I visited Cape Kennedy while the U.S. space station was on the launch pad. Tiny, tiny black dot at the bottom, visual confusion, ant? Oh. Huge 16 wheel truck with tanks. Oh. The rocket is just ... bigger.

[@guineapig1016]

loved this game dude

[@french844]

Same

[@absentiambient]

Young energetic wonderful person!

[@miguelgarza5892]

Anton the first fail was really funny.

[@crazygamer-um1ey]

agreed

[@maxpiens9397]

Keep up the good work 😊

[@whatdamath]

Max Piens thank you!

[@moonic7474]

I want my baby to watch this when he starts speaking and become just like you Anton.

[@soundbreakerz7555]

@Kargadan did you just assume their gender?

[@soundbreakerz7555]

@Kargadan "No DAD" ... maybe remember what you've typed in future

[@soundbreakerz7555]

@Kargadan nice try, just accept your fatal mistake and move on.

[@tsgaerospace]

note that in space it was only 11 or so KN because you have burned the fuel and the vessel weighted abot 1/4 of the original so the force in space is not 1/8 but about 1/2

[@TheNoodlyAppendage]

This is why the Asparagus design works so well. Shedding mass when its no longer useful.

[@sgt.slaughter2284]

The only reason, there's dislikes on this video is because some people was laughing so hard they miss clicked.. lol

[@JonMascar]

I think that the force of gravity and the force of air resistance were actually perfectly balanced towards the end of the video. Because the forces were equally balanced, the spacecraft didn't accelerate. There was no resultant force. Newton's second law of motion fo ya.

[@wwags33]

[@theboywholearned872]

F = ma where F is Force, m is mass, and a is acceleration

[@anatollegros3454]

Then it would feel like standing on the ground

[@t.h.2103]

Nice video, definitely not enough Likes and views here, so take mine. Keep going and what ever you do, never ever kill Jeb! Also, whats the mod you use? Is it Kerbal Engineer?

[@whatdamath]

thank you! Yes it is. It's the only mod I usually use + visual enhancers

[@whatdamath]

oh and EDU mod

[@t.h.2103]

Oh, EDU? would you be allowed to make a video of that?

[@whatdamath]

Yup. I'm a teacher

[@GowthamNatarajanAI]

I have already bought KSP. If I buy KerbalEDU, will it be another exe file or will both work together?

[@flyingfajitas]

I know it's a pretty old video, but I still like how you say "Jebediah Kerman".

[@omarhanif8227]

the gravity is the same it's the diameter of the planet 1/10 of earths.He should have done a gravity turn around 2000 and be 45 at 12000 to save half of his fuel and burnt at apoapsis. Orbital speed is 2200 on kerbin

[@conniepr]

You could run around the bottom of the ship going faster and faster then jump sideways and boom up up you go. I did this when I was little. Running around the outside of the house. When I started going up I got scared because I was afraid I'd leave the universe. I started kicking trying to come down and I did. Lol True story.

[@sephjy1370]

1:50 The face of dissapointment 😂

[@sillysaili]

it's easy to get to space! just hard to get in orbit...

[@iaago1520]

but if you get into space you can float around if you get out of a planets sphere of influence you can float around

[@TheZoidger]

poor anton! 1:50

[@djriduproducciones]

u have to come back to KSP!!!!

[@AstroRamiEmad]

16:16 ... I think Mr. Newton himself would disagree with you there 😑🤓

[@priyanshukhare6652]

Is this game free?

[@crazygamer-um1ey]

barely any comments

[@user-nu3ft4ve5o]

What mod is thiss

[@cassie3923]

Kerbaledu, And Kerbal engineer redux.

[@weaselworm8681]

Okay watched the video decided to buy the six year old game. Lol.

[@melissawillis5755]

mun\luna

[@newsomaliandemocratofbrazi3214]

No Its Mun/Lun

[@will2see]

Anton, are you kidding me?! The aerodynamics (drag force) is equal to gravity, so your speed is constant. How do you want to explain math or physics to people, when you don't even understand basics concepts like 1st Newton's law of motion?! You are just a joke!

[@RadicalCaveman]

The speed of a spaceship is NOT constant and aerodynamic drag has nothing to do with gravity.

[@conniepr]

A body in motion stays in motion?
