Hi Scott, as a young man I had an opportunity to watch Apollo 11 launch from just 3miles from the pad and while picking up my fillings from the ground I realized I was hooked. However to work in the industry meant very serious studies and even more serious employers...Now in my mid 60’s and retired I find myself having crazy fun watching your show. Thank you for that and keep up the great job you do I really do enjoy it.

[@therandommailman]

[@andresreinot3593]

Might I suggest a "patch" for the planetary bounce? Above a certain velocity of impact, speed and mass are converted entirely into energy and you get a kilotons-of-TNT reading for how spectacular your crash was. New challenge: build an inter-planetary mass extinction device!

[@anter176]

now that'd be something, but maybe it shouldn't have restrictions?

[@BlackEpyon]

The thing the game forgot was to make the capsule explode from those kilotons of TNT, and the result was a bounce!

[@ifly6]

'Your physics have no power over me'. Yea, no obviously. When you give something infinite massless fuel, that's kind of ... implied.

[@kosiak10851]

+ifly6 massless fuel would give zero impulse to the spaceship. It's pointless for use with rocket engines.

[@Goreuncle]

+kosiak10851 If that infinite massless fuel could react to create a blast of energy, then it would definitely give impulse to the spaceship. You would still be adding energy to the system, thus providing impulse.

[@ChucksSEADnDEAD]

+Goreuncle Impulse depends on the mass of the fuel anyway so no matter how much energy is generated, none of it will be used as thrust.

[@bigmoose7]

+Filipe Amaral we aren't talking about conventional physics here.....with cheats 0 mass is being converted into lots of energy

[@ChucksSEADnDEAD]

Big Moose Well, the original context is that by cheating, physics have no power over you. They'd still have, as massless fuel can't produce impulse. The "cheat" is only possible in the game engine which merely sees mass and thrust as inputs on a game file rather than calculate them.

[@DanielLCarrier]

"How fast can you fly around Kerbin?" Kerbin has a radius r = 600km. If you're moving in a circle, acceleration is radius divided by angular velocity squared (a = ω^2/r), Solving for angular velocity gives ω = √(a/r). That gives radians per second. The period is 2π/ω = 2π√(600km/a). One g is about 10m/s^2. You were going at around 500 gs I think. Let's round it up to six hundred. 2π√(600km/6000m/s^2) = 2π√(100s^2) = 20π s, which is about 63 seconds. Note that if you're doing this properly, you should be pointed towards Kerbin.

why not simply say acceleration instead of delta v?

[@scottmanley]

Tetemovies4 DeltaV is acceleration multiplied by time. It's quite common that engines with low thrust can operate for much longer and generate higher DeltaV

[@Tetemovies4]

Scott Manley how yeah okay i don't know why but in my head delta accidentaly became derivation instead of difference/variation :D

[@scottmanley]

Tetemovies4 Yes, acceleration is a function of time, deltaV is not a function of time. A spacecraft may have enough deltaV to get into orbit, but may lack the acceleration to do so.

[@EpicHypercar]

Because Delta V is 'change in velocity' and not 'acceleration'. For example, a car starts from rest and drives for 3 seconds until it reaches 9m/s. The change in velocity is 9m/s, whereas the acceleration is 3m/s. By 'change in velocity', I mean the difference between object's starting velocity and its end velocity (v-u). You could think of acceleration as 'velocity/speed per unit of time'.

Hey Scott, I have an idea I have been working on. Well, I should say did work on because I actually managed to get it to work until I had to re-download the game due to technical problems, and had to start from scratch. I once decided to make a plane that would have a form of escape pod built with the module. This was if the main section behind the pod were to have any malfunction, you could detatch and use the small recourses included in the pod design to fly away and make a safe landing. Really, it is a short -distance and fully functional mini plane built to work as a standard plane. I remember it was a bit hard to take off and required wheels on the wing tips, and when trying to pull up too much prematurely after takeoff requires emergency engine kill, quick reposition, and full engine reactivation. After that though, the plane flies like a dream, and even can escape the atmosphere. It is an interesting design, along my favorite achieved design I have ever made and wanted to see if you can improve.

[@topsecret1837]

Does anybody not realize that at the part where he bounces off Jool the craft is going so quick that it stopped time and began reversing it by 14 times, which means essentially this: the amount of time reversal has something to do to a variable equivalent to the total distance in light years or 299.8Mm (million meters) per light second times e subtracted by one over the difference between the speed reached in a multiple of c and c (to accommodate the slow down of time to a standstill from 0c to 1c), meaning that in this case, the total possible amount of time reversal is 299800000e(1-1/14)^??. The question marks representing what I don’t know how it would work. But essentially it is impossible to reverse time by the exact distance covered as the multiplier of c which you are going increases the closer you get to the exact amount of time that you can possibly reverse. Basically you cannot instantaneously move from one point to another but even at 15c it would take a year to move across 15ly, however you would reverse time by -(15-(1/15)) years, which I may say isn’t that bad of a result. But regardless if time travel by interstellar warping is possible this is a good example of its limits.

Found a super helpful equation from project RHO for calculating the transit time for these ships: Time(seconds) = 2 * sqrt[ Distance/Acceleration ] Distance is in meters, acceleration is in meters^2 Just a warning, this does not account for having to "turn around" to decelerate

This is the first video I have seen on this channel and I loved it

How close reality KSP physics are? as far as i see it - it is a game fore kinder garden children to raise NASA score rather then a scientific game .

[@keiyakins]

+VoLtrex31 They're reasonably realistic. Not perfect by any means, and there's significant simplifications in the engineering too, but the approximations KSP uses are a in roughly the high school or unrelated-major college range, not kindergarten. Heck, even for mission planning to Mars or the Moon, the same approximations are commonly used by actual space agencies. Though obviously they cheat a little less with their spacecraft's mass and drag ;)

[@scottmanley]

+VoLtrex31 The orbital mechanics are as accurate as the simulations that NASA used to put men on the moon. The aerodynamics simulation would be considered cutting edge in the 60's. It's accurate enough to be the basis of a lot of good teaching, and a great stepping off point for tackling some real rocket science.

+Keiya Bachhuber no im in kindergarden and i play this game.

[@5HT2A292]

+Galamakazaba Haha!

[@fascilime]

its kindergarten not kinder garden. its a German word that roughly translates to childrens garden.

That thumbnail has got me a few times over the years since posted :p Nicely done sir

[@Sammy197]

If you use the move tool, you can get them aligned perfectly. Just place the engines roughly aligned with each other, and then click on them with the move tool, and just click on any node without dragging on it.

[@jakfox44]

Just awesome. Thank you, Scott.

[@oystersoupkitchenfloorwaxm1457]

i cant wait until you hit 1 million subs.. i have been with you since 50k or 100k subs

[@MaiaMirabell]

Came here bc Kevin played this game just now, and you commented there so I decided to check you out. AWESOME! ....and that accent of yours aaaahhhhh.... Cheers from Sweden!

[@danielpalecek4090]

landing legs have a ton of drag in stock 1.12 when deployed but physicsless when not deployed, making them even better then airbrakes in some cases.

[@brandonsg1367]

I wonder what the max g forces were when you bounced off of Jool and accelerated to 15 times the speed of light

[@OfficialGeneralGrant]

"You built rocket stages into a plane?" Now you did, Scott. Now you did...

[@riotsquadtaylor]

This is my first video I have watched of you and I subbed good work

[@CrossWindsPat]

OMG kerbal is amazing. I like watching it as much as I like playing it!!

[@uzkjhgfdsewr]

"Use the power for awesome" should be a slogan

[@NixxNikoli]

Another awesome video Scott, love watching your vids

[@Freeflyer91]

Keep up the good work Scott. Love watching these videos !! :)

[@soapy05]

Reminds me of the Larry Niven novels were ships would orbit at an artificially fast rate by simply burning at 1g toward the planet they were orbiting. in your video's case, you could orbit that ship at its max velocity by continuing to pitch down as you increase speed until you eventually end up having to point directly at kerbin
