Kerbal Space Program - Interstellar Quest - Episode 78 - Preparing for a Long Journey

[@SabertoothSeal]

Life goals: - Build a base. - Name it Alliere base. - Own the base. - Share the base with friends. - Alliere base are belong to us.

[@iamthechanceman]

So, didja think of that all by yourself or didja paste it off reddit or some shit?

[@SabertoothSeal]

I thinked it up this morning, kind stranger.

[@iamthechanceman]

Then +1 to you sir

[@ryanrising2237]

YOU LITTLE... piece of youtube, you.

[@SabertoothSeal]

Yakko Warner And to you, too, kind friend.

[@MrChrisHynd]

ive said "fly safe" everytime your videos end. cant wait to watch the realistic career mode playlist.

[@ConnorBird380]

You should place an impact scanner on Kerbin, you may get some science from it.

[@MadMikeSVK]

05:40 - I once caught a fish THIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIS big :D

[@Cswartz9]

The god of rocketry is either the Kraken or the Probe, depending on who you ask.

[@twistedyogert]

Elon Musk

[@Jamie-kg8ig]

He might think he's a god, but he isn't.

[@stegwise]

Rocketry most likely falls under the purview of Caelus (Uranus.) not only is Caelus (the latin root of celestial) associated with sky and Caelus Nocturnus (night sky,) but is identified as the God *and* also as a Place, The Place where the Gods reside (Olympus.) so as Neptune (Poseidon) would have been to explorers of the earthbound seas of classical antiquity, Caelus is to modern explorers set forth from our tiny cosmic shores into the great black sea of eternal night.

[@Yonkage]

Considering the great blackness of KSP is inhabited by glitches and Krakens, I'm thinking their God of rocketry should be HP Lovecraft...

[@ivanlovell1195]

Yonkage All hail Kthulu!

[@galaxieskyliner1881]

Moar LOx for the LOx Gawd. Inconel for the Alloy Throne Or something to that effect.

[@scottmanley]

Bingo

[@Crosshair1990]

And what were the last thoughts of the space module as it plummeted to its doom? "Oh no, not again."

[@JebediahKermanZaddy23]

While the second impactor thought; "Ooh what is that big round thing rushing towards me? roound... jroouund, groound, aha! yes! ground! I'll call it ground! I wonder if it'll be friends with me? *boom*

[@DC177E]

Jebediah Kerman Wow, what's this thing back here? Wow, I can really thrash it around! Hmm, what should I call this. How about a "tail"?

[@JebediahKermanZaddy23]

Arthur Dent Just dried leaves, boiled?

[@waterlubber]

Scientists say that if we knew exactly WHY the impactor thought this, we would have wayyyy more science points. How long.will it.take.until someone says the name.of the media.we are reffing? NOBODY DO IT'

[@DroneMee]

Darn galactic hitchhikers!

[@PixelsBlocksAndTNT]

I CAN MAKE AN ORBIT!!!! IVE ACCOMPLISHED SOMETHING!!!!

[@jasonlast7091]

Now let the next six months of your life be filled with spacey achievement and lack of sunlight :)

[@tehczarofgnar]

Pixels Blocks and TNT lol right? I had to start career mode over like 3 times.

[@FishFanify]

"Nice warm welcome, so to speak" I lol'd at this one.

[@redshift690]

Have a safe trip to the UK Scott. Hope you have a good time. And I thank you for all your awesome videos!

[@WilliamSteppan]

Loving the construction of the new craft, and getting all sorts of ideas for my own "Manley Mode" modpack I'm running on my 23.5 install. Will be waiting patiently for episode 79, have fun on holiday!

[@TechyBen]

I built a lot of (stock) ships like this in 0.21to 0.23. Was great fun. Nice to see you enjoy it too!

[@jaredhardegree8377]

The Lizard Six thing just sounds like an excuse to not bring the geckos back.

[@devilsambition1]

Scott you are awesome! I'd like to see more large scale constructions with robotics. Kerbals are so much fun to kill but even more gratifying when Shaun Kerman does his bond impression.

[@jestevez36]

You should put seismic instruments on kerban to get science for even failed flights

[@cibie01]

You make it all look so easy hats of to you Scott top work.

[@jones1171]

No Scott don't go! We will miss you. Safe travels.

[@fluideight]

Just re-watched the entire series while Scott was in the UK. Excellent stuff. I wouldn't mind watching an episode where he actually builds a complicated rocket and lander though. Even if it was a livestream I think that would be pretty cool. I'm kinda bad at building ships. I can fly things really well thanks to Scott, but my rocket builds leave much to be desired.

[@Joshnpk]

Best series on KZbin.

[@davehodges7399]

really going to miss your episodes have a good time though and look forward to when you get back and start these rollling out again!

[@OldGamingGeezer]

Great Video as always Scott. Have a good holiday and I'm looking forward to when you get back to more Interstellar quest.

[@mdrsmeltracy]

Great episode Scott! Looking forward to continuing the Quest when you return from the UK.

[@diarmuidbalfe7264]

Apollo, the god of the sun, art and rocketry.

[@warspite1995]

YAY!! next episode is up!!! Please keep up this series Scott i love it!

[@jazeroth322]

Great vid. Thanks Scott!

[@TheReaper569]

good luck, looking forward for your return, safe trips

[@nielskorpel8860]

If you leave your debris from making all sorts of spacecrafts, that wont fall to the planet by itself in kerbin orbit you can set up a debris collector later and send this debree to a planet of your choice as a bunch of inpacters. No need to burn it in a athmosphere, it can still be usefull for your space program.

[@tubemaster567]

Anything derived from the empire is a very good thing.

[@Voligare]

Scott never fails at making me feel more like a neanderthal when i play KSP after watching his videos.

[@Goran1138]

Who think, that Scott need HAL9000 to attach before journey? And this addon already exist)))

[@Poctyk]

I am sorry Jebediah, I am afraid I can't do that

[@HALLish-bl3bm]

I agree.

[@no3ironman11100]

HALL9000ish Do you know glados ? Mechjeb ? Athéna ?

[@saintmayhem9873]

Enjoy your vacation Scott! See you when you get back!

[@KsNewSpace]

The rover in the end is new I think! Awesome video! :-)

[@adammullarkey4996]

It's interesting to see that those boosters are stable tail-first, despite the runs and the larger fuel tank.

[@GenuineLolotov]

It looks like Scott's preparing for the grand finale with this new ship he's building; I'm not sure my body's ready.

[@artos607]

so ur not the the president of nintendo america?

[@MegaElric666]

my god it actually came up on my subscriptions for a change!

[@rs0wner301]

Well I hope you have a good time in the UK, Scott!

[@0megasight]

I vote calling this new ship being assembled in orbit "Outbound Flight"

[@jeroenslaghout]

Have a nice holiday in the UK Scott!

[@shredrick123]

Kraka! God of Rocketry!!! and Fire!!! and Explosions!!!

[@maxscott3349]

Ess was based on the dimensions of the human body, which was later standardized for accuracy. The only thing that it had to do with the British Empire was that they were the one who endorsed and standardized it.

[@floydlooney6837]

Must have been some updates since the last time I watched, because Kerbin looks beautiful!

[@itookurpoptart]

Love your stuff scott. You are space Jesus.

[@KashouWannabe]

Have a great holiday, Scott! The weather is great over here at the moment, hope it holds up in Scotland! Got a name request for your first Faster than Light Spacecraft: Shiningstar Kerbica. Hope you get what I'm attempting to parody! But, if you want to stick with the Sean Connery naming scheme, then what better than the Red October!

[@xSuperSS]

No ISQ for couple of weeks? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO :C

[@RAFMnBgaming]

Scott: Dres isn't yet a dwarf planet because it still fills the 3 IAU requirements to be a full planet. for now...

[@caddilacbob]

you should keep a look out for asteroids that are in a feasible position to be used as impactors

[@Neuttah]

Game only generates those around Kerbin.

[@caddilacbob]

Neuttah pity :( ive been busy with assesment period so i missed a few of the specifics i guess. still, minmus maybe, if he hasn't already farmed that to death :D

[@Neuttah]

caddilacbob Yeh, but it's not like you need a massive object. He can just chuck a few 1, or even .5m fuel tanks onto decouplers (or stack separators for extra rain) and toss them in the general direction of the planet. Nah, Minmus wasn't really touched on that heavily, from what I remember. I'm guessing he'll make a mission similar to the Silica miner for it once he dries the Mün of science.

[@JCLlindo]

Neuttah There is a mod that puts them in belts around the system. The custom asteroids mod.

[@Neuttah]

Jake Would only apply if he used it, though. And he'd still have to move one, and that's delta-V.

[@vebuus]

15:10 - a Death Star coming :P

[@DuaneMizell]

Have a great time in the UK Scott. We shall miss the IQ while you are away.

[@JanGaarni]

Hahaha, that waving spaceship reminded me of that candelabra (Lumière) from Beauty & the Beast. :p

[@riedstep]

I thought this game was just about launching rockets and getting into orbit. This game is much deeper than I anticipated.

[@jmbmtm8722]

im so totaly addicted to my moon base and ur videos ive barely got time for my life (that i dont have)

[@BeCurieUs]

Have a good trip!

[@thegeneralissimo470]

For the god of Rocketry I would guess it would be Aeolus, god of winds and the atmosphere.

[@countertony]

Heinlein suggested (in his novel "Space Cadet") St Barbara as the patron saint of those who fly by rocket (being in real life the patron saint of artillerymen), if that helps...

[@Neuttah]

Wouldn't a twin docking port set be a lot more handy/precise for this? Yeah, it's a bit difficult to set up, but assuming both ports snapped in, you'd know exactly where all your COMs are. And it might be even easier to make them compatible since the game has subassemblies now!

[@TinfoilChef]

I don't know why I didn't think to ask this one before but, How many ships from EvE Online could you build flyable and stable versions of in KSP? KSP Needs Rifters and Tornadoes

[@scottmanley]

There are scale issues, even the smallest Eve spacecraft are about the size of a 747

[@TinfoilChef]

Scott Manley Granted they're huge ships. I wouldn't expect build-to-scale though... most eve ships would break ksp if built to scale

[@cherrysclips5214]

Scott Manley O.o you commented on a video a year before someone gave you a link to it........... are you like a computer god or something?

[@Fireheart318]

I'll give it a shot

[@TheRockout247]

THIS WAS UPLOADED ON MY BIRTHDAY... YAY!

[@ElFredo1998]

I use a skybox where you can see huge interstellar hydrogen clouds. Looks pretty nice.

[@MontharKragan]

The Kerbin God of Rocketry might be called Kerblam.

[@daltonlyle7727]

send the kerbals to the jool system that would take many kerbin years to complete that mission

[@Leilyse]

Hey can you list the Mod packets that you used in craft construction? Very interested in that craft you were building the parts looked way to cool also can you list the Mod used for docking? I hate trying to line up for orbital docking so I normally just build stupidly large ships and stations on the surface then send them up lol.

[@Mx12b]

Google needs to fix that autoplay button. Even when I turn it off it still autoplays. This new playlist thing is so annoying!

[@TheHatterJack]

If you ask Jack Parsons... the god of rocketry is Pan... of course.. he was pretty damn crazy

[@mrbonkers760]

Fly safe Scott! :)

[@codypturner]

the god of rocketry is physics, all hail its mighty power to control all!

[@RAFMnBgaming]

gotta collect em all: Antimatter!

[@revirescomitchell375]

i think that the roman god Vulcan would be the patron of Rocketry. Fire, hot metal, invention? all his domain.

[@leonellg3167]

Does anyone ever think that their game's physics might just have something wrong with them? or am i the only one? Every single plane i have ever built in ksp just doesnt seem to want fly, it keeps pitching down, 'flipping the F out', even the stock ones that come with the game dont fly well, even they keep pitching down and are very slow to respond, the ones i build are quicker to respond and more stable but they just keep pitching down!!!..Can anyone seriously help me with this!?? Houston, i think we have a problem

[@carolinesteinberg220]

lol ur funny houstons on hold

[@monsterbash9758]

Unlike these rude and simple-minded trolls are trying to imply, SAS will not always solve this problem (though I do always fly with it on. If it's pitching down, first make sure your center of lift is behind the center of mass (fueled and unfueled) but not by a whole lot. Just a little bit behind is all you need and if you keep it closer you'll get better control. Adding canards also helped me when I got this (an extra pair of little wings near the front of the plane). They'll also help you take off more easily.

[@macdjord]

The god of rocketry is Kerboom.

[@parkerbowman4540]

Could you do an episode just show casing all of the various probes and things that you have orbiting kerban?

[@Yonkage]

Everyone doubted me when I suggested the Duna debris might get another encounter with Ike and get kicked into interplanetary space. Take that. Now, if only it would get an encounter with something else and head right toward Kerbin...

[@whitewolf2020]

Hey Scott, if you're back in the UK and find yourself in the Northeast, I'd love to buy you a beer and talk about space!

[@nahbenhaben7614]

rip mr and mrs comrade geckoes and possibly baby comrades

[@OMrkithO]

God of rocketry - GODdard! :D

[@sandmanjr81]

Solid vid

[@chasesahchase]

4:18 Freedom isn't divisible by 10.

[@BlooDyPower]

I want to pay a beer to that guys ! !!

[@DHDragon]

The God of Rocketry is CLEARLY Jebediah Kerman.

[@rjthegood]

Excellent episode as always Scott, wanted to ask, what skybox do you have installed?

[@708gamerguy]

I saw somthing about a 'kinetic strike orbiter' thing that can orbit earth, and launch inert projectiles that hit the ground at Mach 10, with the power of 120 tons of TNT. So naturally i decided to make one in kerbal. I created the weapon and got it to orbit, and put control probes on the inert missiles on the extirior but I cant control the missile to target little rovers on the ground. How do i decouple them and fly them to their target?

[@5peciesunkn0wn]

The god of rocketry? Jeb.

[@benjamind.4790]

The god of rocketry is called Scott Manley.

[@Johnrich395]

Scott, remember there are 2 types of countries, those who measure in meters, and those who have landed a man on the Moon.

[@marcustulliuscicero5443]

Dres fulfills all IAU requirement to be a planet, so it's not a dwarf planet.

[@MrFrostburner]

I may or may not of made a sub-reddit about mythology of kerbals. It's didn't get very popular, only a couple posts on most by me, but the god of rockets I came up with was called Degru.

[@Graxster]

Scott: Please post a list of your current mods/plugins in your KSP video descriptions. I went back and found your old video about which plugins you use and many of them are no longer available or not updated to 24.2.

[@johntothebrogan]

The Harvester Is The God Of Rocketry!!!

[@ThatGuy4427]

The god of rocketry is called Kerba'al.

[@veneficusvex914]

Have fun Abroad Scott :D see ya in a few

[@Tremprod]

Hey Scott. While you're on vacation maybe you could do a talking to the camera video about quantum vacuum plasma thrusters and the Cannae Drive. I just came across an article about them and it sounds pretty cool.

[@foodini]

God of Rocketry? Goddard of Rocketry.

[@Oinikis]

I'm not sure about gods, but father of rocketry is Sergey P. Korolev, or Wherner Von Braun, depends which you prefer. Personally I prefer Korolev, because he put first satellite in orbit, so he technically is the father, but that doesn't matter, both did great things. But the father of theoretical stuff, and basically "inventor" of spaceflight is Konstantin Tsiolkovsky. Yeah, God Konstantin sounds good.

[@chrisl.6211]

Where is this interplanetary cruiser going? I recommend Laythe.

[@tri_dameon]

You should really consider doing voice over for the science channel or something. I have been enjoying your KSP vids, keep being awesome!

[@SV67943]

The God of Rocketry is actually just Armok from Dwarf Fortress.

[@Camulus777]

Id say the god of rocketry would be Kerpollo.

[@knutsletvold]

Let's see; chaos, flying, preceded only by celestial bodies and dakrness... That'd be Eros, no?

[@lanteanboy]

I have a potentially stupid question about RCS.... IF electricity was "infinite" would Ion-thruster based RCS be viable. I tried making it work in Sandboc mode..... but I forgot I needed a second set of thrusters pointing the other way to even have a chance to rotate

[@Tomtom88983]

It would be, but you still need xenon gas for ion thrusters to work.

[@timothymclean]

In KSP or in real life? In KSP, you'd need to mod it in (or, more likely, ask someone who knows how to make halfway-good-looking KSP part models to help you with it), and it would probably not help you rotate much more than the reaction wheels do, but it's possible. In real life, it's probably going to be hampered by the fact that the lightest ion engines appear to still weigh a few kilograms, so putting in a full rotating system would be tough.

[@artos607]

Timothy McLean the only thing that really works on pure electricity is probably Q-Thrusters, its the upgraded plasma thruster, other than say, magnetic sails, solar sails don't need fuel, but they don't run on electricity. All of limitations.

[@dryo0saurs]

Uh, an ship with thousands of kerbals in to go and back from all planets and moons from Kerbol System,COOL
