Kerbal University: Beating the Heating

[@Tr0lliPop]

The fact that we could make craft orbiting planets well within their atmosphere if we wanted to is ridiculous in the best way possible!

[@BoomchacleV0]

At 17:26 that single solar panel could power a small town lol

[@lt_duckweed]

Lol yeah, solar goes a liiiittle crazy that close

An advanced orbital guide, with mulitple gravity assist chain planning and executing would be awesome, and I'm sure much appreciated by the community ! Infos about it are very scarsed You're a gem in the KSP content field, thanks a lot < 3 It's like finally seing clear, concise data on those crazy techniques we all saw in videos from stratz, bradley W, and others... May the kraken goddess be with you

The developers really ought to make this knowledge public. Its their duty since real world physics doesn’t exactly apply.

[@bobthedeleter]

the sheer amount of effort you put into these videos is insane. you are doing a fantastic service to this game's community I just wish I could understand what was going on XD

[@stardaggerrihannsu2363]

With additional reading that WILL be on the mid-term!

[@GuybrushKerman]

This video also serves as a wonderful showcase for the font you use. Very precise and clear, just like the rest of the video.

[@lt_duckweed]

Agency FB! It looks so crisp and futuristic.

[@fastandfishious34]

Amazing video as always, glad I could help :) It's crazy how much work you put into these. Just figuring out how to distill all the info into a digestible form must have been a nightmare. Kudos! I originally explored the heating model with the goal of making a Tellumo SSTO in the Galileo's Planet Pack mod, and I am proud to say that I succeed and published a video about it on my channel! Uni is eating up all my time right now, but I've got a bunch of exciting stuff planned for this summer

[@proxima_fish]

yay new kerbal university (when gravity assist video??)

[@clayel1]

fr, gravity assists are so difficult

[@thesilentpearl8575]

Bruh I just rewatched this video and only now did I realize that you were here lol

[@dnbattley]

This is excellent. Can I suggest a potential next episode in the series where you apply this same level of rigour to make a guide to KAL programming? In particular, since they fixed the "play position" function it is possible to achieve truly amazing effects, but I've rarely seen them used in the community to even a fraction of their potential. As an example I made a binary calculator (see my channel for the videos), but even that is quite basic compared to what can be done...

[@bingusbongus9807]

i feel alot like a fool when watching these videos for i find them very very info dence and hard to comprehend and i usually need to watch a part a few times

[@liamoliverdarroch6482]

yes!!!!! new duck video!!!!

[@bearmike_360KB]

Thanks

[@JYF921]

Nice

[@maximpikalev9538]

god, you never really think about all this shit when playing the game... never thought about the sheer number of math that's required on one hand, this makes me excited for what's to come with KSP 2, how much more nuanced the thermal system will be on the newer software on the other - it's KSP 2. it's just as likely it's gonna be fucked and/or just worse than what's currently in stock KSP

hello edit (first)
