Kerbal Space Program - Voyage to Eeloo, New Planet in KSP 0.18.2

Kerbal Space Program 0.18.2 includes a new planet, an icy world on the edge of the kerbol system, so here's a mission to this tiny world using a 2 part ship assembled in orbit around Kerbin.

[@tobyman360]

Just remembering the times when you could do a re-entry at 4km/s. ahhhhh

[@agjakku]

Yeah, i was just watching it and thinking ''they're gonna burn, Scott!'' I am quite new to this game and i dont remember old aerodynamics, but I would certainly enjoy them- I once felt down to Eve at 4000 m/s :)

Comparing that to present KSP and remembering how it was playing 0.18.2 and earlier versions. Somehow feels wrong now seeing capsule plummeting like that into the atmosphere. :D

It's interesting that you make this particular comment on a video where I use no mods and didn't crash or load a save until the very end where I wanted to land the capsule near KSC.

Get Kerbal Alarm Clock, it shows you and makes "alarms" (basically stops time warp) for things like launch windows, which are times where you launch to get on an SOI change from Kerbin to another body. Sorry if I'm incorrect, though.

[@red_five3325]

Jacky Xie in real life they would likely supply you with enough life support to get there and back, NASA doesn't fuck around when it comes to things like that. But in KSP? Pffft... who needs life support anyway? XD

[@ContentHouseOfficial]

+EpicSmileyMan64 6 years

[@JizzyJazz]

I'm sure they have to work out constantly, otherwise gravity will fuck their bones up.

[@EpicSmileyMan64]

Professor Gutnacht Yes, but in KSP, they only have that small bit of cockpit room. How the devil would you work out in that? You can't enter the fuel tanks and stretch your legs in there, you have to work out while your still sitting. That would really suck in my opinion. But hey, your the first people on Minmus so it's all worth it!

[@scottmanley]

if you only want to escape Kernin orbit then it saves a small amount of fuel. If you want to transfer to almost any other planet then you might be wasting fuel because when you're low down in Kerbin's gravity well you get more energy from the same amount of fuel due to the Oberth effect, so, it is frequently more efficient to do your transfer burn without using the Mun.

[@calebenloe8390]

Click on your Space hanger; load the Orbiter. Then click Launch. To get into oribit simply do as follows: Launch, at 2000 Meters angle 'slightly', at 6000 Meters angle a bit more, and at 15 tilt it even more over (30* at most), Then 19-21km tilt it at 45* angle. Once you reach 36km make sure that the yellow point (this represents the spacecraft's carried momentum) is in line or just above the point where the blue and orange meet. This should get you into Orbit at least.

[@rich1051414]

I lost my kerbal when i tried to reach the outer planets. He is now on a LONG elliptical orbit extending outside of the solar system, and a 70 year orbit with the sun. It is also 45 degrees off from the orbital plane of the planets. He also has no fuel at all. Yeah... poor guy is lost forever. I got low on fuel and tried to salvage it, so I tried a slingshot maneuver to get home, and I MIGHT have walked away from the pc and forgot to return... and caused that to happen.

[@johnkelley9201]

I got to Mün but I crashed. Everything exploded except my command pod. I planted a flag but couldn't return. RIP Bill Kerman.

[@equalibrium7037]

This is my first ever video I’ve liked in my entire KZbin journey. Still quality.

[@UriMegaConnor]

theres 3 types of landings, first, the escape velocity "landing". you get so close to the surface its like skimming on the water but then it just goes away, second, the fast landing. you get to the point where your going so fast you cant decelerate but then you just crash into the surface at hypersonic speeds, third, the 2easy landing. your relative velocity is about a hundred meters per second and then you realize your burn is only 6 meters per second. you do that, go to the surface, accelerate your craft at 1% thrust because only 5% overshoots it. and then you land at only 2 meters per second.

[@norcofreerider604]

This sort of reminds me of a build I did a few years ago. I built a 2 piece rocket, a large, re-usable ion/nuclear main craft with an insane delta-V, but low TWR, and a disposable but cheap lander that could land and take off from any planet/body in the solar system except for Eve.

[@waterlubber]

The trefoil. When building rockets, right click on the part in the part drawer (on left). The ISP tells how efficient your rocket is. Less mass and higher ISP = Much less fuel needed.

[@waterlubber]

***** How to build a Mun rocket: Start small, use a lander can, an FL400 fuel tank, an LV909, some solar panels/batteries, and some micro or medium landing legs. Add a decoupler, an FL-800, and a T-45. Add another decouper, an orange tank, and a mainsail. Unless your doing something morbidly wrong, that'll getcha to the Mun.

[@igelitovysacek6307]

***** yeah, looks like your lander is too big. keep it small, actually landing on Minmus is easier than Mun, you can try it first, no need to be scared by its inclination - very easy to deal with.

[@Nozerone]

I just tried going to that planet for the first time. Hadn't touched the game in months, and thought "Screw, lets just build a big ass rocket, and get out there". My planning was piss poor at best. Got out near Duna and realized I screwed everything up, and didn't have fuel to get out where i wanted to be. So I went to Duna for the first time instead. In the end, Jeb is stranded on Duna with no ship to get back home. On my day off I will build a proper ship to get to Duna, pick up Jeb, get out to Eeloo, land, plant flag, and return everyone to Kerbin.

[@bossymr6326]

I wonder how much science that would give you in career mode.

[@AvielMenter]

KSP has a learning curve, but you figure it out! For a good long time I couldn't reliably get a ship into a nice orbit or land on the mun, but if you keep watching videos and trying things, you figure out what works and what doesn't. Just today I managed to get Jeb and Bill to Eeloo and back. It only takes practice.

[@benner2000]

According to most, Minmus is actually easier to land on than the Mun. However, as I approached Minmus, my projected trajectory started to blink wildly and I couldn't make any more maneuvers, so I went for the Mun instead and it wasn't very difficult at all. I docked a craft to an orbiting station prior and that was worlds more difficult.

[@R3dp055um]

Agreed, and if you are using so many that they overheat and explode before burning out, just slap some fins on the outside; they seem to act as a heatsink.

[@PaulSpades]

I was eating while you started talking about the poo bags. Thanks for that.

[@lammatt]

i found a sure fire way to rendezvous is that you park your ship close to your target. like you ship is at 95km while your station is at 100km and the closest approach will probably change so slow in each orbital period that sooner or later you'll get an approach with less than 10km separation and starting from there you burn retrograde relative to the target to kill the relative velocity and then burn towards your target and sooner or later the two will meet.

[@agiar2000]

That's a beautiful picture! The look on Bill's face is wonderful! :)

[@aazo5]

That is why I always test my new ships. For instance, landers, I usually do 1-5 tests with it by going into a steady orbit around Kerbin and then testing every functionality of the ship. I first check my gears, make sure the legs work for one, then make sure they are long enough. then I check solar panels, lights, and then EVA one Kerbal. If everything went well, I go back to Kerbin, testing every stage on the way there, and then using my parachute. If I messed up, I fix it and try again, lol.

I'm just getting into Kerbal, and love your videos. Love how this one went from being an interplanetary mission, to talking about massaging poo...

I just sent an entire space station with one docked ship and ten satellites to Duna (single trip), and I have to say, it was way more complicated than getting to Eeloo. Depends on the mass you want to move I guess.

Also you have to remember that there's usually a thin line between what people perceive as confidence and arrogance and that line is different for different people, for example i personally figure Scott's just confident and comfortable with what he's talking about.
