Kerbal Space Program - Interstellar Quest - Episode 97 - Moho Golf

[@BarcelPL]

Moho Golf seems like a perfect task for Danny

[@gabrieleprinciotta3314]

Expect a lot of reality-bending.

[@WWEdeadman]

Only that he'd make Moho go into a hole...

[@woolfoma]

he did something with the Mohole a while ago, I think it was the agent thing.

[@camicus-3249]

He would use Kerbals as the ball and cannons as the club. xD

[@zakiNBG]

danny shall fill the hole with kerbals! (and then fly something explosive into it with neckbreaking speed) :D

[@marcustulliuscicero5443]

"Asbestos is harmless!" is a trademark of Aperture Science dba Aperture Laboratories

[@Chahol17]

Hundreds of Kerbals flock to the burning hot coal that is Moho, enduring the intense solar radiation in dense protective spacesuits for the exhilarating sport that is Mohole golf. When the signal is received from the sighters at the hole, a Kerbal marches out of the observation bunker, carrying a small solid rocket, and a launching rod held by their waist. They crouch down onto the ground, find a suitable position and carefully set down the rocket. They draw out and arm the launching rod, and steady it down over the end of the rocket. With tiny silent spark, the fuse ignites and the Kerbal lifts the rod away. A moment later, the rocket shoots off silently, and is only visible for another moment before the engine cuts out. The Kerbal steadily steps back into the bunker and awaits his result.

[@FonVegen]

On Moho, the surface hits you!

[@elogrejbjens4327]

get out

[@EdgarFroes]

Is Moho in Russia?

[@FonVegen]

Edgar Salazar Maybe it is. Or is Russia in Moho? Okay, no, wait. What?

[@rigfordthebarbarian2895]

FonVegen Or is our Universe in Moho?!?! *inception music*

[@drscope27]

Klaytonamor Lutheraen duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuun!

[@Travestyalpha]

I started watching this series two weeks ago and am now up to date. Never thought I would binge on a video game series, but KSP and your videos kept me informed and entertained. Thanks.

[@Cythil]

And a new glorious sport was born! Not surprised that a Scotsman would reinvent golf.

[@mrbibs350]

I always thought the hole at the pole of Moho was a reference to Project Mohole, an attempt to drill through the Earth's crust into the mantle.

[@Synthatic]

Everytime I watch an episode, I get so hyped to get started on massive projects in KSP.

[@Skyfalcon12345]

Scott Manley You launched the Eeloo craft in Episode 27, after having it explode beautifully and cover half the ocean in radioactive goodness. You are awesome and I can't wait for episode 98!

[@dfoz6523]

You scared me Scott! When you said hard drive issues I had flashbacks to the Reusable Space Program!

[@deathdealer425]

Thank you for making a Father Ted reference :) More people need to watch that show!

[@DeliciousDeBlair]

The thing is, Kerbins are more snack oriented than space oriented, so as long as the snacks are good and plenty, the space can be tight and tiny, and they'll be just fine.

[@primatespeargun9307]

Scott, when IQ ends, will you consider a Space Shuttle development series? With the new VAB building gizmos, shuttle designs are becoming much more ubiquitous within the community, and I would love to see your take on one.

[@aetherscorner3927]

Just do stock, and no part clipping ;)

[@SoulAir]

Do it!

[@x401]

Would be nice but one should wait until the new stock aerodynamics are in the game.

[@kammeleric]

Hit me up with a private message if you are interested in the Shuttle i developed, it is pretty realistic as far as you can say this for a model in the game^^ t.co/UeM13e6y9k

[@cyrusfrost8029]

Aether's Corner Doing a stock only space shuttle just looks bad.

[@homefront1999]

wow just realized how many subscribers he has i remember when he was just about to reach 50K now he has over 300K

[@selenagamya1612]

The Kerbal Cannon. That needs to be a thing.

[@TheIndigoExperiment]

I think Danny's made several.

[@charlesbatkin8722]

'Wow, this thing looks so huge from down here.' -Scott Manley

[@arrbos]

I think it would be cool if the Interstellar series ended with a giant colony ship sailing off into the ether. Maybe space for a hundred kerbals or something ridiculous like that.

[@Spudcosmiccc]

That was pretty crazy, I've always wanted to explore the mohole, I should send a few probes there soon.

[@theaveragepro1749]

Build a base in it too! and have some kind of escape system like a big hidden rocket in the base maybe? and wheels on the sides of the base so it can go somewhat up and down.

[@KingHalbatorix]

The Average Pro and then make the entire base into a giant mech so that instead of needing rockets you can just throw the kerbals into orbit

[@slpk]

Hmmm... I guess I shouldn't comment on what I'm thinkg about right now...

[@GeneralJackRipper]

If I might make a suggestion, You could replace the aerodynamic nosecone on those 4 science jr.s with XL parachutes. It would keep the same streamlined look, and add in some safety factor in case of an emergency.

[@jazeroth322]

I was looking for this a few hours ago. So glad you've put it up so I can have my fix :). Happy Christmas Scott. Hope you get what you want

[@vicatoren3967]

Im drinking real orange juice whilst watching this, i amlost feel bad for the three oranges that whent into this glass that is 10 cm tall and five wide.

[@gothicsoldier]

13:20 "This looks absolutely huge from down here! It looks so majestic standing up like that!" - That's what she said.

[@RMJ1984]

Here's to looking forward to those next 100 episodes :)

[@Sorc47]

The MoGolf idea is really awesome!

[@Just_lift_anyone]

Thanks for giving us brilliant videos throughout the year Scott, they are always very entertaining. Happy Xmas to you and your own little Kerbals :p

[@Hayden123457]

Watching this video with the warp drive made me want to watch star trek fist contact

[@MrAirpumpkin]

snacks! life support mod encourages building more living space into crafts.

[@theouterarrowhead]

oh man, the descent into that hole is trippy

[@jeggredbaenre2191]

Already looking forward to E100. I'd Love to see a space-assembled warp driven colony ship of some kind.

[@ecmarsenal]

Moho Golf. Wonderful concept.

[@GeorgeplaysOfficial]

Merry Christmas to you too, Scott!

[@Cnupoc]

I support the idea of requiring the kerbals to move around and have special "living" modules so that they can remain in space longer. maybe something like a global "decay-able resource" factor to kerbals that decays, unless they have a "living" module that would provide "sporting activities" and leisure. Once decayed your kerbals cant do EVAs cuz they're not stupid and courageous enough. It would finally give a meaning to the Stupidity & Courage stats that the Kerbals have :))) I was just thinking the other day about that to be honest! about how weird it is that my kerbals were in space almost a year in my space station and when they arrived back one got out on a EVA to get some science and walked without problems and i said to myself "hmm... technically he should not be able to walk now for like a few days maybe?!" So adding the possibility for kerbals without these modules to do EVAs and have their "endurance" decay is awesome :) It's a great idea and i think it's easy to implement and adds a GREAT realism effect :))) it's just mathematical stats that you dont really need to do much work for. Only for the few modules you'll need design and so on!!! Nice one Scott!

[@RazielTheLost]

Hello Scott, I started watching you quite a long time ago now, i started watching your videos just for inspirations to improve on my technique of shipmaking or even refine some designs and learn alternate methods for doing some things. I realised mostly i cant do that at all because you use a buttload of mods and i want to do everything stock and legit. I watched some of your videos anyways and, though your commentary is post instead of during gameplay, i found i really enjoy your commentary. The more you talk and digress and explain stuff, a lot of which interested me and still does. I have a horrific memory due to stresses I've endured but i do like to learn about thrust to weight and delta v and orbital mechanics and your video on the way colliders work lol. Anyways this rambled on longer than i meant to but i wanted to say im a fan and to keep on babbleteachin stuff with heavy digression :) stay smart.

[@WheatleyOS]

Yes, happy Christmas And a merry New Year

[@cleverly9575]

There's no Christmas on the moon

[@TheWellHungPony]

I remember a mod I used a long while back, perhaps around the start of this series actually, that labelled different components as cramped or roomy and kept track of how long Kerbals were in space and how cramped their conditions were. I don't remember what it was called, though.

[@MagisterMalleus]

Happy Kristmas Scott! And happy Kristmas to all you intrepid Kerbonauts, too.

[@SINDRIKARL1]

Silly goose! It's Kerbmas!

[@ruawhitepaw]

Scott Manley takes the misery out of watching space.

[@Trollsty]

Basically Scott at the end: " Not my fault, somebody put a wall in my way! "

[@valhar2000]

Happy Christmas to you too!

[@Antydoom]

WOOT WOOT FINALLY MADE IT TO moho only took me a year in human time to get past the mun

[@shadowace112]

Strap big rockets to the ISS and poof, you now have mars mission rocket ship

[@badbeardbill9956]

Not really. You need more life support. Artificial gravity from a pair of bolas would be a good idea, if not a centrifuge. Not to mention shielding...

[@ALegitimateYoutuber]

Scott your next series should be about the colonization of planets, because you've explored these foreign worlds and now you must claim them as your own. But you should also build orbital stations which are made up of asteroids you finds in space, like those mining stations in eve-online.

[@Ultriix]

I thought there was a transfer to mars available at some points that cut the time down to 6 months? Also I noticed a mod on kerbalstuff which adds fitness to kerbals based on there room to exercise etc, that might be what you want!

[@scottmanley]

Oh you can go to mars in months, but then you need to wait 2 years for the planets to line up so you can go home.

[@victorgigante5374]

+Nathan Williams There's currently an engine in the pipeline that has the potential to cut the transit to just over one month. Look up VASIMR - one of the claims is "Mars in 39 days," but it'd have to be powered by a fission reactor.

[@Pretender6]

@scott manley About living in a can idea, There is a mod called KeepFit, which decrease the physicallity of a kerbal over time at tight spaces

[@alaingloster4405]

I was wondering if Snacks would fit the bill, you get a set number of snacks per crew spot and each verbal consumes 1/2 snack per day. If you run out of snacks you take a rep hit and kerb performance goes down (according to the entry, I've never used it long term). That would mean you have to be dramatically under crew capacity for long missions. just an idea

[@timothymclean]

I'd like to see something other than the spam-can and a lab for kerbonauts. The Mohole looks really neat! Nice job with the first probe in proto-Moho-golf. I wonder if anyone's going to get annoyed at "happy Christmas" instead of "merry Christmas". In some places, at least, the latter is traditional and whatnot, and silly as it is some people get kinda touchy about Christmas traditions.

[@jdwatson7588]

To Kerbals.... you brave little fools, To BILL ( Died in landing failure), to Bob (splattered across the runway) and Shangee (trap in a perfect orbit within a dying space craft) and Scott Manley for making this look so easy!! signed a NEWBIE!! Merry Christmas

[@JHelfrich]

All the talk about asbestos reminded me of the beta cloth used for the jumpsuits in Apollo. I think that came about because of Apollo 1, yes?

[@alexisauld7781]

So the Draco landing's offering us tea the whole time it goes down? I love watching Father Ted

[@fandomguy8025]

Scott Manley well me and the wiki say the Mohole is an extinct volcanic vent possibly caused by a massive volcanic eruption in its past and looking at your texture pack it seems that it is well shaded from Kerbol and is covered in ice!

[@DHDragon]

You know, in your next series I would love to see you make an orbital shipyard. (I think there was a mod that let you do that, I can't be 100% sure though). Or at the very least some sort of station a la Mass Relay to accelerate your ships outwards without burning up their fuel.

[@BernardoSOUSAstudent]

Scott, you probed Moho's Uranus! lol

[@rumbleslug3334]

scott, I was just on KSP and when I set off in my rocket I blasted up to 2,000,000,000,000 m/s and then I exploded and my game crashed!

[@Cuttl.e]

Rogan Hinchliffe good job getting krakened

[@KorianHUN]

Happy christmas Scott and Manley family!

[@Markus9705]

13:05 Bah. It's not _that_ much, just about ~2600 times the average human exposure to ionizing radiation (7.75 Sievert/year compared to 3.01 millisievert/year). xD

[@sarinhighwind]

Father Ted! I'm so glad that wasn't a dream that I watched that.

[@MrHws5mp]

Merry Xmas Scott - have a good one.

[@Shaft0]

Most viewers may not appreciate that by "size of the ISS" you don't mean necessarily such an albatross-like awkward kind of massiveness, but rather the actual mass (and inevitable volume) that could be much less impractical for travel than the ISS is. E.G. one or a few of those Bigelow "inflatables".

[@TheAgamemnon911]

Probing the Mohole... sounds way dirtier as it is.

[@comebackata2]

Oh hey, I remember that huge craft you were building that supposedly has radiation shields and a lot of struts... was it supposed to go to Jool? I don't really remember

[@Mr66D]

The Mohole... It looks very much like Commodore Decker's Planet Killer

[@rogerwilco2]

Even the crew of the ISS would not stay alive for 2 years without resupply. The biggest problem is that nothing is really air tight on long time scales. Especially light materials, like aluminium, "leak" quite a bit.

[@JamesClutterbuck]

Scott, I'm sure you get all sorts of suggestions for games to play, but I'd like to throw my hat into the ring with a suggestion for the FTL Captain's Edition mod. It's quite a game changer! Merry Christmas to the family :-)

[@wantacpa]

I like that the name of the test warp ship which is Named after the first kerbinaut to die in IQ ep. 1

[@caffeineaddictedklutz]

_Spam in a can_ - That description is far funnier than it has any right to be! xD

[@joshbracken5450]

Looks like space Scott!!

[@krislafrance8009]

Thank you Scott your great hopefully the video once up loaded you can watch it. By Bohemian Brain Blast. My room mates and I did and hope to continue.

[@robbielobster3212]

Would you like a wee cup of tea Father Manley? Go on go on go on! You : FECK OFF! I agree, Father Ted is one of the greatest comedies ever made.

[@juozasdomarkas848]

"Wait, WHO PUT THAT WALL THERE!?" Scott Manley - 2014 I wonder what will he say in 2015?

[@PsyckoSama]

You need a warp drive mission to Laythe if only to explore for possible colonization...

[@Dinco422]

Hey Scott. Will you play 0.90 career mode ? :)

[@Libriothecaire]

***** You clearly didn't play 0.90. It is now impossible to bill the science tree in one trip as you have financial constraints. Even going to the mun on your first launch is a bad move as it cancels very lucrative contracts :)

[@542Damian]

***** depends on difficulty because now you have science multiplier.

[@Libriothecaire]

Damian Wójcik you forgot about the need to upgrade the R&D lab, which is done with Funds.

[@Xenro66]

***** Yeah, career has been made so it forces you to take your time lol.

[@TrikeSquadron]

***** dont think it is possible to fill the tech tree in one mission anymore because of the building tier upgrade system that limits the levels of the tech tree you can unlock at various tiers of the science facilities. but if anyone can do it... Scott probably would be the one.

[@franciosdeaeruiu7555]

Happy Christmas Scott!

[@BlooDyPower]

Happy Chrismas ! Scott!

[@2424Lars]

I think Mercury's effective radiating temperature of 600K on the surface combined with the 14,000 W/m2 of solar flux would've already killed the Kerbals due to the extremely high temperature before the high solar radiation will :)

[@AaronAlso]

Are you familiar with the Mars Direct program? Although never supported by NASA it is a manned mission plan to Mars that is likely to work.

[@Tribble6hatch]

Merry Christmas Scotty ^^

[@therathalosabusnardo923]

Amazing vidéo! As always, but i have a question, what's your computer's specs?

[@KiltedGorilla]

At around 7:40 you said that we would need "something the size of the ISS to go to Mars and back". Isn't most of the ISS simply for doing scientific experiments and not just a huge living module? The Soviet Union (back in 1971) launched the Salyut stations, which were used for training Cosmonauts to be in space for long periods of time, and later launched Mir, but both were less than half the size of the ISS. couldn't we send something of similar size to them instead?

[@alexlock3176]

The people demand mohole golf! No, seriously... that's a fantastic idea.

[@LexieAssassin]

New challenge! Get a hole in one from Kerbin with only one burn! :P

[@AC-pm7sn]

Look at all my doo! I'm covered in doo! Ohh, you spoiled the supreeze.

[@AirsoftCommissar]

Merry Christmas Scott.

[@macstrong1284]

CONFIRMED SCOTT MANLEY WATCHING THE COLBERT REPORT I LOVE YOU KNOW EVEN MORE. "TRUTHINESS"

[@aufhebung_enjoyer]

He's going interstellar in episode 100 - I guarantee it.

[@WaffleTrain]

My god. It's full of Kerbals.

[@The8BitRobot]

Liked specifically for the Father Ted reference.

[@russellrummage]

Scott Manley's favourite sitcom is Father Ted???........this guy is never wrong. DRINK!!!

[@sebastianglab7626]

Scott , can't wait for another part. Please make it happend son😀

[@willdwalrus1330]

Hey Scott do you have any tutorials on making the fusion engine work I just got interstellar working with my computer and the only engine I can work is the thermic engine (from your tutorial). Ps have a merry Christmas.

[@larskarlsson6237]

that... is... alot of stuff that you have around kerbin... lol xD

[@rigfordthebarbarian2895]

My cousin says that the Kerbals go into photosynthesis in long voyages. He likes to say that they are evolved plant forms. I laugh.

[@nephilimcrt]

Happy Christmas!

[@tombradley4819]

Merry Christmas not "Happy" lol

[@GunnerRA155]

You could start a warp emergency service, sort of R.L.N.I. type thingy :)

[@BalimaarTheBassFish]

Nowwww Father Scott! What do you say to a nice cup?

[@GabrielGABFonseca]

Thinking about it, the Draco is more or less, to a Kerbal, what a Cobra Mk III would be to a Human in terms of scale.

[@RAFMnBgaming]

kerbals aren't small. they're just far away.

[@theaveragepro1749]

HASEnoncorperated They are small actually if you look at the kerbal compared to the seat in command pods and how they fit in it their small.

[@theaveragepro1749]

Walter Boxhead Weeee.

[@waterlubber]

The Average Pro Splat .

[@RAFMnBgaming]

and the link to fix the joke dissapeared

[@wenlongan9527]

Asbestos: Not a word KiwiRail (or any New Zealand Railfan) wants to hear...

[@swoch185]

It's always enjoyable to listen and watch Scott playing but i can't understand anything he's saying with all the Delta V and interstellar and stuff xD

[@sa1vi]

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year 2015.

[@zilfondel]

Thanks Scott, having loved IT Crowd I'm going to have to watch me some Father Ted.

[@MegaSkrow]

Scott Manley merry chrismas!!
