Today, I decided to cave and make one of the most requested missions I get: The SpaceX Starship Moonship, which I felt was especially relevant right now due to their recent success in securing the Human Landing System contract for the Artemis missions!

Link: curiositystream.com/mattlowne Code: mattlowne Just to pre-respond to any potential comments: 1. "The Real Moonship won't land with the raptors, but will use different engines so as not to disturb ground material" - Yes, but I couldn't find an elegant way of executing this in KSP, as the side-mounted options are either too weak (twitch) or too bulky (thud). 2. The Real Moonship has 4 landings legs, not 6 - Not confirmed yet, the newest render appears to show 4 legs, but the geometry looks a bit off, the spacing between the legs does not look right if there are only 4 legs. I used an imaginative leap when making this replica! 3. Here is the blooper reel: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b17YpJ-mg9tjgJI

i think there is (or at least used to be) a mod that when you seperated, allowed you to first perfom one ships' manouvers and you could then later switch back to the seperation point and redo what the other ship was supposed to do. But the amazing part is that the game remembered what you did before and will do exactly the same thing again while you are controlling the second part. giving the illusion that these things are happening at the same time.

Matt's sponsor segues are the best I've ever seen. Sending Jeb a phone with Raid Shadow Legends made me laugh for about 10 minutes and this was just as smooth. Also, isn't the real moon lander going to use a ring of engines partway up the ship for the landing? I think the reasoning is to prevent the Raptors from throwing up big dust clouds.

[@Ihatetechnology]

11:40 Use the programable piece, set a timer for like 90 seconds, set it to activate the decoupler then running on it's own battery supply, you can program it to run at a given thrust percentage and deploy air brakes. At the 80 second mark, tell it to deploy parachutes and landing legs. It will do all this autonomously with a single push of the button. You many need to mess with the timing but after you do it a few times, you'll know how long it takes for your parts to slowdown and then you can let the fuselages guide themselves to the ground. Im pretty sure you can even program the sas to aim the ship to retrograde, prograde or whatever you need.

[@REVV0219]

Tip for vertical landings, switch off from retrograde to surface to radial out after you’ve killed off any horizontal speed and are close to the ground

[@terrorstalker]

I mad a falcon heavy launch in KSP where I recovered all 3 boosters AND put the payload into orbit. Easiest way is to have a very shallow ascent before ditching the two side boosters when apogee was around 40km (lets you avoid a boost-back burn as they'll naturally land near KSC), then had a hard nearly horizontal burn on the final booster until apogee was roughly 80km. Gives plenty of time to switch back to the side boosters to land them (had to use mechjeb to land them both at the same time).
