KSP 2: Saturn V Eve Mission!

Did you know that NASA had a plan to use the Saturn V to send a crew on a flyby of Venus? Well, let's take a look at that, and see if we can recreate it in KSP with Eve!

One thing to note is that the Apollo Venus plan would've also used two LMDE engines for the SM as opposed to the usual AJ10-137

Same here! It has been two years since I came across this channel, and Matt is good as ever!

[@PleegWat]

I'd figure sending two identical atmospheric probes can be useful, since it allows you to do the same measurements in different places and/or times and get some idea of the range of values.

[@polaska_tyu]

Any chanced on you making a mission similar the movie "The martian"? As in, building the space ship hermes completely on orbit, then going to mars, having a decently big lander that can do up and down once, then returning? I know it would be a big mission but you do those pretty well :) What manly made me ask is the EVA session at 6:57. I dont know why, but the docking above the blue background with the sun shining on the metal parts and showing the scale of such a "small" craft just hit different

[@aidensmith406]

Yeah grateful idea😮😮

[@sussydogelikesplanes]

i watched it recently and i am inspired

[@georgewashington132]

Definitely have had that infuriating engine sound thing. It ruined an entire science playthrough of mine as it was even playing everywhere at the ksc, even in the VAB. Worse thing was that it was the 4 mammoth engines sound that was playing from my dres mission.

[@thespacepeacock]

I think the biggest issue they'd have had with that mission is the astronauts would have absolutely driven each other completely insane. Especially wit the Apollo astronauts, all the best will to Michael Collins but I imagine being stuck in a capsule with him for like, four years would have driven anyone completely mad.

Looking forward to seeing the eve return mission. I tried the way in your ksp1 eve video and seems it doesn’t work well in ksp2😂

I always feel sorry for the kerbals, so its nice that you gave them a little extra living space.

[@eekee6034]

"There is no Real Solar System in Kerbal Space Program 2." There will be! There will be, and it will find you, Matt! One day; one day you will no longer be able to escape the _gravity_ of Real Solar System! 😂

[@elsupremoclash7419]

4:08 I love that perfect 45º angle

[@Maake986]

As for the engine sound issue that you mentioned, I've had something similar happen recently. I took off from the KSC, put myself into orbit, and went back to the KSC's tracking station to timewarp to a transfer window. When I then took control of the ship in orbit, I had this pretty annoying constant re-entry sound, kind of like I was cutting through the atmosphere at speed that I could not get rid of, no matter what I tried. The game still said I was in High Orbit, and everything seemed fine, so I have no idea what caused it.

[@SpaceCapybara732]

I love these real world missions (Even if they didn’t happen)

[@indicol1942]

as far as i can tell beside the last stage your spot on for a replica. i have the lego set build in front of me.

[@SimSoupYT]

In my game I think it is the seperatrons, I had the emergency ejection thingy and the thruster sound keps going. Not while loading quicksaves though because it was gone pretty early into the mission

[@onevastanus]

Wow it's back to rockets that sometimes work. Nice.

[@Suppise152]

I overcame the j2 s2 issue by angling the outer engines out a bit, so the centre engine was safe, while the base of the outer engines stay hidden

[@ImThe5thKing]

13:40 I have this glitch on KSP1 with RCS thrusters sometimes! It'll just constantly play the RCS thruster sound as if I'm holding down any of the IJKL or HN keys

[@user-ss7jl8ze9q]

I've noticed that KSP2 still doesn't show the effects of having a liquid fueled rocket "steam" at launch due to the temperature differences. Matt, tell them at the game headquarters, please. Love your shows, dude.

[@12pentaborane]

Storable propellants don't steam, like Proton or Titan II+.

[@applesaregoodeatings]

I believe you are referring to the deposition and sublimation of water vapor from the atmosphere and off gassing of the tanks. It would be super dope it they added graphical effects for that

[@IvanRodriguez-tl2zr]

It depends on the propellant. If it is cryogenic like methalox, then the tanks will frost. If it is something like RP-1 (Kerosene), then it will need to be stored at such cols temperatures.

[@EvaOwnsAll]

[@gamingunicorn6475]

[@Dash064]

My fix for the bug that keeps your engines on(not just the noise) is always just turning the engines on and off and messing with the throttle and that seems to work.

[@RangerHalt907]

Can you make a video on how to maneuver in space. I have always only made planes. I can't even get to the moon. I have no clue how to travel in space. But I have made some really excellent planes. I have yet to buy KSP 2. I just have the first KSP.

[@timer192]

Good challenge idea: The Ultimate Goat Test Challenge The goal of the challenge is to collect as many points as possible. It is done in a fresh science mode save. The challenge is done in 3 steps: *1. Before the challenge begins:* Before the challenge begins, you will need to get the settings for it. You can even choose multiple at a time. They can't be broken but they will reward you by multiplying the score at the end of the challenge. +X% means that X% of the total score will be added to it. All percentages are summed up first before applying Hardcore mode (if you kill a Kerbal you lose all of your points, no quicksaves are allowed): +100% Quicksaveless (already applies if Hardcore mode is active but without the additional reward for it, you CAN die, but still, no quicksaves): +30% One ton at a time (every rocket needs to weigh at most 1000 tons): +50% Absurd introvertism (you only have one Kerbal, if he dies, another one replaces them): +70% Forgot the thingy (no docking allowed): +30% *2. During the challenge* The points are scored for landing on the celestial body and returning back to Earth. Each celestial body weighs a specific amount of points: Eve: 280 Moho: 245 Tylo: 235 Laythe: 210 Vall: 200 Bop: 190 Pol: 175 Eeloo: 165 Dres: 155 Ike: 145 Duna: 140 Gilly: 130 Minmus: 120 The Mun: 110 Kerbin (you need to get to space, land, get to space again and land again, all within one launch): 100 The points will only be earned if a kerbal lands on the celestial body and goes back to Kerbin (a robotic spaceship doesn't count!). If the Kerbal dies on the way back after landing on the body, you will lose half of all the potential points it could've scored if the rocket would've gotten back to Kerbin, for example if you land on Vall and then crash on your way back, you will not gain the 200 points from that launch and only lose 100 points (except if you revert that). You will also lose 35 points each time you upgrade in the tech tree. *3. After the challenge:* You may stop the challenge any time as long as no Kerbal is in space. The points are multiplied by the conditions you chose in the beginning. If your points are negative, you have lost the challenge. If you are good enough you will get a medal (just a trackmania Easter egg) 🏅 2986 points (my PB) 🥇 2700 points 🥈 2400 points 🥉 2100 points

Hello! Back in 2018 I started playing KSP 1 but stopped playing for a long time. It was only just recently I started to play it again and I have this idea for a large Duna mission from Kerbin. The mission envilves sending up modules for an inter planetary station that will launch many Kerbals and 2 landers to Duna. The idea is that the station will stay in orbit around Duna while the kerbals take the landers down to the surface (similar to how it was done In the book “The Martian”). However I’m running into a problem. When I started to send up a module containing the liquid fuel for the station, the thing was to heavy and I had a very hard time trying to dock it to the rest of the interplanetary station. Do you have any tips? I have watched many of your videos about fairing huge colonies to Duna and the mun, but I’m still stuck with trying to plan the construction of the station.

[@RealTallestSkil]

The key to effective docking is 6-axis RCS, and the key to effective RCS is taking advantage of the vessel’s moment of inertia. Put *extremely* simply, you will be served by putting the RCS thrusters on the big fuel tank on “booms” extending as far out from the tank as possible. If the thrust is far from the center of mass, it will make maneuvering far more responsive and use less fuel to do so. To save on part count once you have the tank docked, attach the booms themselves to (two way) separators. Once docked, you can eject the RCS booms from the tank to get them out of the way.

[@cmwiczer4952]

I didn’t think if that. Thank you so much! 😄
