KSP: Apollo Recreation! (Reddit Challenge)

[@herlax2]

*IGNITION SEQUENCE STARTS* oops... we burned whole 1st stage already

[@BerzerkVideos]

he had 2 tanks that were constantly fueling the 1st stage until he launched but still that was funny XD

[@torstendarrell7448]

he did it wrong XD

[@mattiemaas]

that intro was so epic ;_;

[@DorianTMChannel]

ikr

[@Fixxate]

"I'm going to make a rocket launch scene." Fire everywhere.

[@hotmojoe2483]

@RandomSpaceManInSpace You mean a SpaceX recreation or a Chinese Space Program simulation?

[@saturnxyoutuber8434]

At 0:20 they say that they start the ignition sequence... sigh

[@MattLowne]

twitter.com/Matt_Lowne Let me take this opportunity to say a HUGE thanks for 30,000 subscribers! Never thought I'd ever get this far when I first started out, so thank you everyone :) As always, music and craft file are in the description.

[@blacknote6945]

Now recreate a accident!

[@mikythegreat8991]

rally love your vids

[@angeloinfinity3054]

wow, the coolest one so far

[@MarkThrimm]

Congratulations Matt! It's certainly well deserved!

[@rpek32]

congrats

[@James-qd3mw]

The docking is the only reason I could never do this.

[@rudymakina5502]

you need to learn with mechjeb,you can see a tutorial for mechjeb and repeat the autodocking option again and again. And you learn how to docking. I learn with this method. Excuse me for my english :D

[@MrHws5mp]

I learnt docking from Scott Manley's videos: he doesn't use Mechjeb or docking mode. You can't do it by seat-of-the-pants flying: you need to think every move thorugh and then do it very precisely. It also helps to be patient: going the right way ata crawl is better than going the wrong way at a sprint.

[@MattLowne]

I've never used Mech Jeb. Just practice and you'll get there!

[@rudymakina5502]

excuse me guys,i have a fault in my english. mechjeb is not needed for learn docking,i mean can help you to learn docking. Thanks for your videos matt,you are amazing :D

[@Aleks6010]

i learned how to orbit by watching how mechjeb does it

[@EddieMitz]

3:46 - 3:56 Guidance Controller: "Flight, do we tell them just how close they came to death?" Flight Director: "nah, the less they know, the better."

[@sadham2668]

That’s literally what they said before the Columbia disaster

[@somalipiratethatpiratedyou4750]

You know its a good day when matt lowne is uploading :D

[@prograde_x]

true my friend.....true

[@nivshaham5962]

yep

[@leonverbakel3889]

You recreated the Apollo mission, but can you make te ISS??

[@multicrafter3486]

Yes please make the iss

[@DRIZZTinMINECRAFT]

In one launch!

[@michaelt3172]

Not really that hard if you have mechjeb

[@farmerspaceboy2251]

+Max that would take an extremely oversized rocket may need B9 for that

[@farmerspaceboy2251]

Toby Pryce B9 has massive cargo bays

[@markmcculfor6113]

I don't mean to be picky.... But the trans-luner injection wasn't powered by the command modules engine, it was powered by the 3 stage of the Saturn 5

[@zaps01]

yeah i noticed that too

[@t65bx25]

His Saturn only had 2 stages, meaning that the CSM is the 3rd stage.

[@t65bx25]

ANAKIN BELARMINO Yeah not in the original rocket, but here the small scale of the rocket forces it to act as the third stage did in the real one.

[@yannkremenski3560]

My God, this video was awesome, one of your best I think ! And the beginning was very exciting ! Congrats Matt ;) A French fan

[@MattLowne]

Merci!

[@nathansantos5813]

+Matt Lowne bro, pls work on nasa :D

[@KageNekoSamax]

A new electroswing track to add to my music, awesome recreation an a excellent video!

[@mostdays]

The music selection is on point! Love it, goes well with your videos.

[@MattLowne]

Thank you! :)

[@arandomzoomer4837]

This was so cool! I loved the intro and how it parallelled the real launch, and short videos can be really nice sometimes, especially for our short attention span. I really enjoyed this.

[@Товарищ-б5м]

Six, five, four, three, two, one, zero. All engines running. Lift off! We have a lift off! (Goosebumps from epic)

[@Nosirrbro]

Absolutely magnificent! Not only was the mission cool, but your prouction value was fantastic with this video, even if we ignore the awesome liftoff sequence.

[@ln5321]

>Apollo recreation >British flag I don't think so, pal. (But good video)

[@ethanbramwell5899]

Like he has said before, this is his channel, and he is British, so he puts what flag he wants to.

[@MattLowne]

omg who cares about the flag, I think this will be the last video I use the UK flag because I'm fed up of Americans whinging about it in the comments. After receiving LITERAL DEATH THREATS from my space shuttle video having a British flag in it it's just not even worth the hassle.

[@Bunters196]

No! Keep it! For the Queeeeeeen!

[@programity]

Are you serious? I'm American but at this point I'd rather you have the British flag on it just to spite the haters.

[@ln5321]

+Matt Lowne Yikes, it was a joke, man. I don't care what flag you use. It was just supposed to be some harmless teasing about the UK not being the ones who did Apollo. Also, I'm not even American myself so cool it with the assumptions.

[@Mr.Rin.]

You're channel is just incredible to watch, from a small KZbinr, keep doing what you're doing!

[@nickjones5603]

Great video! I love KSP and watching you play makes it all worth while!

[@niteshmurti]

holy crap! this was pretty badass! your videos are the best!

[@aqhat3702]

oh the good old days when i first got into ksp and watched this an unholy amount of times

[@Reth_Hard]

This is awesome! Nice music by the way! I was waiting for this game since like, 1993 or so... :D

[@blenderfoto]

Caravan Palace :D

[@grossersalat578]

Good to hear them here :)

[@blenderfoto]

Grosser Salat Yeah :P

[@mdrocketry]

YAAAAARRRR

[@joemiller947]

and ELP

[@thatguythedude1563]

I thought it was just cancer

[@noobcastable]

Ok man I have to say I've been a watcher of your channel for a while now and I need to take the time to commend you on your taste in music. Caravan palace is the shit

[@TarsoFranchis]

Thanks for Caravan Palace! Nice sound, i never found it! And congrats for this video (but third stage push all modules for the moon).

[@SolarWebsite]

Ha ha, I love how the rover is just thrown out of the hatch of the lander :-) Good video!

[@eternalreminisce]

Another brilliant display. Well done, Matt.

[@ghosttoast8326]

Love the intro, love the Caravan Palace, love your videos. God you're like, my hero

[@AXLplosion]

I really like the music choice, great video!

[@jupiter2448]

Hey you got something wrong here. The third stage was supposed to do the translunar injection and than the CSM would do a course correction. But overall good video

[@manspeej]

The music just makes this way better than it already is

[@chargedup5455]

man, your channel has been growing like crazy

[@Retrolizer]

this is clearly just real footage of Britain's space program.

[@Retrolizer]

...oh wait...

[@daemonburns-waight2421]

Lovin' the electro swing, you use a great variety of music in your videos.

[@TheRayvin6]

>uses 1/5 of first stage fuel on launchpad >ignition sequence started 5 seconds before announcer said it did

[@BerzerkVideos]

1. the ignition sequence yeh but if you had functioning eyes you would see 2 tanks next to the ship fueling it so he burned 0/5 of the first stage and burned those two side tanks instead.

[@pyrhus38fr]

i love Caravan Palace! Nice video, thx Matt!

[@brookssilber]

an Apollo mission with solar panels? What is this madness? anyways good job!

[@vistaero]

Also the rocket has two stages instead of three. The only thing that this has in common with the real Apollo missions is that it has a lunar module with a rover, and a service module.

[@Mohegan13]

Also Apollo wasn't British.

[@brookssilber]

I did not expect for this comment to become a heckling one so I apologize.

[@Mohegan13]

+Brooks Silber don't worry, I'm british, it was all sarcasm here.

[@QUADEeee]

And the shape of the rocket..

[@sowwcu3940]

I love challange series and your channel!

[@Zebra_M]

Engines were running before the ignition sequence started. Intro ruined ;-; Really though, nice work as always!

[@saturnxyoutuber8434]

At 0:24 yo kinda failed to meet every single space company/agency's reusability standard. YOU DESTROYED THE TOWER! WE NEED REUSABILITY LIKE DA ELON KERMAN!

[@marshalrando6767]

You make it look so simple. I'm impressed

[@NapoleonDynamiteer]

That MUN launch and docking was quite on the fuel edge...! impressive.

[@ChaseA352]

I think kerbal is one of those game's that actually changed and helped the world just watching what Nasa had to do in real life is pretty fucking amazing seriously makes me think about it in so much more depth this video rocks ! (:

[@asingularcheesepuff6383]

* intro plays * Ok that's pretty cool, don't think he can top that in this vid- * Caravan palace * I love you :D

[@Jemboj2895]

you missed the perfect oppritunity to make this one epic video...

[@chrisbaldwin1156]

You always pick the best music :)

[@phawcks7557]

This was 150% accurate! No doubts whatsoever... Especially when he fell out of the lander! XD

[@geniusvlogs4914]

That was so awesome that launch sequence:p

[@RaphH_]

what I really liked is that I was convinced matt's logo was replacing jeb for this mission. Infact it wsa just in front tof the jeb seat cam. But I was pleased none the less.

[@THECHANGER360]

congratz dude on 30,000

[@dragonfyre8802]

That intro was epic and then the music XD

[@g0sth4ck3d]

Great vid, love the tune with it.

[@T0ym4st3r]

Nice video! Just something to say : Apollo didn't do transfer from LEO to Moon low orbit (TLI) with the service module engine, it did it directly with the upper stage's engine, before separation and docking with lunar module. Beyond this, you're pretty accurate !

[@phraggers]

2:40 it was killing me I couldn't for the life of me remember the name of this tune. Anyone else wondering it's Fanfare for the common man by Copland written 1942 (but I believe the version matt used here is the emerson lake and palmer version)

[@DowzerWTP72]

Haha brilliant video as always! I so thought you were going to collide with that other stage on re-entry! Haha maybe aim Anti/Normal when jettisoning?!!

[@goldendragon3147]

3:52 Is why when we decouple, we do it perpendicular to the pro-grade vector. So that it goes off sideways. (Also heyy, this is the video he got comments on for using a British flag on an Apollo mission!)

[@laifgarrett5316]

That was incredible! I just did this myself on the console enhanced version. Minus the rover and getting back, I just can't seem to get low enough in orbit with the command module/service module in order to conserve the fuel I need for the return.

[@m2mfox]

1:33 anyone notice the eclipse on kerbin

[@samvanorden5274]

pimaster 961 Yeah I did...

[@moxzy3213]

Amazing choice of music, Do more like that

[@KnaifuYuri]

I like how it started out all badass.

[@karlmen123]

Great work!

[@ryanandrews7109]

Oooh. I wanna do this! *Downloads craft file and somehow manages to blow up all of the KSC*

[@Itheadon]

Matt shot a bit upwards to get close to the Mun base, Neil Armstrong performed a similar maneuver just before the Moon landing to land on a better spot

[@miller8097]

Music=great Gameplay=amazing Overall=too cool for school

[@sfsaviation]

For the first stage you could place a vector engine on the bottom of a kerbodine tank and ad four ncs adaptors around put two fuel lines on each going both direction,add a mk0 nose cone and four more vector engines on the bottom and then you can use the offset to put it all in,then add the wings on the side of the ncs adapters and your done!looks more like a Saturn V and has ALOT more thrust,I think I remember counting a good 5000 kilonewtons of force

[@nhuuyennguyenthi8999]

do a cinematic which jeb is stranded on duna like the martian film in a vid

[@MrToast-sk9vn]

it happened on ArrowHead 3 mission, except with a guy named Andy Kerman

[@CSSto1en]

Matt come to anything but nice job at the beginning!!

[@blitzkreg335]

I really like that song in the beginning !

[@YourDudeChriss]

So this is the video that got me into caravan palace!

[@horticultural_industries]

ah, i see he jettisoned the heat shield too early. You're not alone

[@dragonking322]

Fantastic!... Except you forgot the aircraft carrier and helicopter for retrieval..

[@MrToast-sk9vn]

On our mun missions we just put a lander and kerbals in for weight, and also because kerbals don't eat or sleep, or breath. The suits are only for pumping in snacks, though we did rescue them, our last misison was the only onw with return craft

[@meowow140]

Well done Matt! It could be better if you make it look like a cinematic.

[@sporehux8344]

no wonder we stopped going to the moon, if that was the music they had to listen to.

[@m.k.s.k5360]

Agreed

[@m.k.s.k5360]

We're going to Mars instead

[@floo1465]

M. K.S.K Hopefully we can listen to Life on Mars? there.

[@TankdozerCavalry]

Apollo's TLI was performed using the SIV-B stage, not with the CSM propulsion. Only after the SIV-B TLI burn did they do transposition and docking. Not before. There's also the solar panel issue but whatever, that's just minor.

[@pmsteamrailroading]

TankdozerCavalry exactly, and if you put a probe core in the SVI-B you can it to hit mun.

[@Mars.1811]

Yeah, the lack of fuel cells is what bugs me the most about this video. But it's a very minor mistake compared to what he's actually succeeded in doing here. Keep going, Matt!

[@imtn_ik]

woah this video is amazing

[@deedgalaxy7759]

that was so awsome i liked it!

[@meepster554]

May I suggest installing the hullcam mod, those are really cool to see through durring launch and stage separation. Just my opinion.

[@kerszz354]

That'd be great. I'm also using it and love it

[@cslotter]

Brilliant song choice

[@sheepmasterrace]

MATTT!!!! the first stage had 5 engines! One is in the middle of he other 4

[@julialeslie9213]

luv the music :)

[@agastyabose8362]

2:32 so much for one small step for man...

[@totallynoteverything1.]

This is how a Tea Loving country recreates the Yankee Doodle's Apollo 11

[@SuperBuizelll]

With that flag you should do a replica of the British Interplanetary Society's moon mission concept with the big honeycomb of SRBs.

[@jdzencelowcz]

HERE'S A CHALLENGE: Build a functioning Kerbal version of The PHOENIX, from STAR TREK: FIRST CONTACT, launch it & fly it in as similar a way to the one in the movie. Maybe land it on the moon, then return it to earth!

[@Ypog_UA]

the escape lanch system (that rocket shaped thing on top) has a decoupler built in!

[@MattLowne]

Huh, the more you know

[@prograde_x]

i estimated that matt gets 25-50 subs every day!

[@KayoMichiels]

Not to mention.. you can now use a docking port as a decoupler.

[@toastbutter101gamingproduc3]

i did a apollo mission myself just yestarday and i just noticed i LANDED IN THE EXACT SAME PLACE WHERE HE LANDED IN THE VIDEO

[@jdzencelowcz]

All those explosions are a bit unnerving, but long as the machinery keeps working & no Kerbals die, I wouldn't count it against ya.

[@traedonharris2853]

AWESOME INTRO!

[@brettoncrowell1713]

The rover I was crying to funny u just got your self a sub

[@ОсобоНеопасный]

SEPTEMBER IS BURNING, THE KILLER IS CRYING BUT HE COULDNT DO OTHERWISE NEW VID HELL YE

[@yulian_p]

You are best KSP youtuber. :D

[@Admiral45-10]

So do I! ;)

[@violiman]

Fancy dressed tea enthusiasts slapped a Union Jack on our freedom rocket!

[@TheHedge_Prism]

MLG Kerbal Rover Rekt at 2:39

[@matthewadam1978]

First 33 seconds are amazing!

[@IneptOrange]

Excellent taste in music lmao

[@dougiejaye3607]

My God that was amazing...

[@tylerdolph886]

HOW ARE PEOPLE STILL CHATTING HERE. oh and gr8 music m8. awesome video.

[@antarticpenguin7563]

I hear you are boss.. BUT CAN YOU MAKE A MOHO SPACE STATION? WITH 50 KERBALS. Or you can lower it to like 30 if it crashes.

[@piranha031091]

3:52 is why you're meant to be oriented sideways when separating!

[@TinchoX]

2:39 I laughed harder than I should have xD

[@user-ps4mw5om4j]

This dude and Scott Manley is kerbal Jesus
