All early Soviet capsules had parachutes. Vostok pilots ejected at 7km altitude while the capsule would deploy its own parachutes around 2.5km and descend separately -- the problem was that Vostok's landing was unstable and rough, so it could have injured the cosmonaut. The Voskhod series, for obvious reasons, did not feature the crew ejecting and descended entirely on parachutes with Soyuz-style smooth landing retrorockets.

7:00 I also tried many times to make a foldable solar panel on my space station. And I finally managed to find out how to prevent from glitching. Here is what I found: Attaching more than one pair of solar panel to a robotic part can cause the glitching. And the “solar-arm” on my space station looks like this: Long Beam - Hinge - Short Beam - Short Beam. Each beam has a pair of solar panel attached to it. Sincerely it looks nice and works nice.

@@restrelaxrefuel-whitenoise6609 1 the solar panels cannot be on the "side" of a piston. 2 to many parts on a piston or hinge makes things problematic. 3 to many hinges and pistons in combination also makes things problematic. 4 the key to make these things work is to strut the mechanical parts down for launch and then restrut them in the final unfolded position. and this should be done before unfolding the panels. basicly use common sence and help the games physics rather then working against it and pushing stuff to the limit. if you want to combine multible hinges then unfold them one by one and strut them one by one. mister matt here likes to have a action group to unfold it all at once. thats pure hell for the game physics.

[@sirfirewolfe5647]

Even the original vostok had parachutes, they were just insufficient to slow it down to survivable speeds.

[@marianandnorbert]

literally the ONLY one which didn’t land completely with parachutes was the vostok, not bc it didn’t have parachutes, but bc it only had drogue chutes so the cosmonaut would have died bc of impact forces, it did have a parachute though, which makes literally all of the statement from matt incorrect

10:28 just so you know, all Soviet human capsules had parachutes but Vostok 1’s parachute wouldn’t slow the craft down enough so Yuri Gagarin would have to eject. Then they didn’t modify the parachute for the voskhod missions but added thrusters on the bottom so the 2-3 cosmonauts could stay in the capsule they are continuing the same thing with the Soyuz capsule

[@forgilageord]

You're half right about the parachutes, Matt. The single cosmonaut in a Vostok capsule did indeed bail out after re-entry and prior to touchdown, but the multi-cosmonaut crews of Voskhod landed softly inside the capsule, which had retrorockets mounted on top to slow down before impact. So if that was a single kerbonaut escape pod, the lack of parachutes would be historical, but the multi-seat variant would land with parachutes and rockets.

The whiskey bit is pretty clever. Hats off to you.

Actually only the Vostok reentry modules lacked parachutes, they included drogue chutes which slowed down the capsules to acceptable levels however it was not enough to safely land astronauts. Ejector seats would activate and throw the astronauts out of the capsule and then their personal chutes would safely land them. Soyuz reentry modules do include parachutes however.

That's a cute little station. And I've had only one brand of whisky - dragon whisky. It was very aptly named, because it was like drinking liquid fire. I can't explain the taste, but so much as a shot can burn mouth and throat. It's not a hot burn, nor does it go away quickly.

Recently, I had a similar Kraken attack - I tried to build an autogyro, and every time I tried to attach 6 or 8 medium rotor blades to the smallest rotor, I went crazy just like your solar panel / piston combination. Six small blades and a smaller rotor worked well, same for medium blades and a large rotor (or medium? I don't remember now). So maybe it has something to do with attachment nodes or colliders being loaded too close to each other? Now to flattery section: Tiny space station looks great!
