Landing the Dragon 2 On Mars - Kerbal Space Program

[@laelienriviere5735]

" I will do two passes, one to slow down and one to actually land. I have no idea how this will work out, but we'll probably fail several times. " -- Lands of first attempt with wrong readings Oh, Scott, you never cease to amaze.

[@scottmanley]

+Laélien Rivière to be fair, I have more deltaV than is realistic, need to go back and try with smaller margins.

[@laelienriviere5735]

I... would very much enjoy that :D To actually, visually see how this thing is supposed to land with such crazy method. With sensitivity to initial conditions, I can't being to fathom the precision of the calculations involved.

[@MegRyanCaskey]

+Scott Manley Also, while the SuperDraco engines are deeply throttleable, I think they only go down to around 20%, while it looks like you had them below 10%.

[@RedsBoneStuff]

Highlights: 6:20 14:36 18:41 30:50 45:00 48:56 50:03 1:00:27 Also: 54:17 Find us a great pirate!

+Glitch __ Hello fellow astronaut. I think we are twins.

[@petrodeloro]

+Space Man Nah, it's the space suit that makes you think that. He looks absolutely different.

[@fonzyfermin8896]

How about 60% of him playing The Long Dark?

[@fonzyfermin8896]

+Fonzy Fermin This doesn't show him playing the Long Dark though. gg

[@PHeMoX]

Scott for president! Lets go all technocracy! :-)

[@UltimateAntic]

Wouls be a dream come true for NASA.

[@fareflight2029]

Still wouldn't have the money to afford funding NASA without cutting vital expenses.

[@UltimateAntic]

Space Man What about the militairy...

[@petrodeloro]

+UltimateAntic I! I! I've... I've got the solution! Space Marines! :-D

[@propyne6188]

+petrodeloro You better invest in ODST pods.

[@beanbeanbeanbeanbean539]

Thanks for using my dragon mod Scott! BTW there is a heatshield part that goes with the pod that has built in landing legs. Also can I have a link to the Dragon paper for the revamp I'm working on and balance purposes?

[@Ironication]

Star Wars AND SpaceX? Words fail me how awesome this video is! =D

[@andrewnfalco]

17:06 When you put a dash or minus sign in front of something, it's saying to exclude that word from the search. So you quite literally just search "b" lol

[@jovax0450]

As for the question on your 64 bit video, yes please!!!! I love all your "math and numbers" videos. Although I originally came to your channel to learn how to not fly like a rock with a rocket on it, I've stayed FOR THE SCIENCE!!! Seriously though, i love your delta v calculations video, your "how many twinkies to destroy a planet" video, and even these livestreams because you spread your love of math and science, and you talk about the real history of space flight and all these wonderfully amazing things that actually happen/ed

[@transcendentape]

Yes, do more videos like the floating point video. I enjoy watching your "let's play" style of videos on KSP, not only because you're better at the game than I am, but because you are more knowledgeable than I am, and you're good at teaching. Videos like your floating point video allow you to teach without the structure of a game. Plus. your accent is sexy.

[@ThreeHeartsRunLP]

May the 4th be with you.

[@sannauurasmaa8242]

I just realised no-one in the whole KZbin made a comment about that! I thought i would see a million of 'em! A good original comment bro!

[@ThreeHeartsRunLP]

Sanna Uurasmaa Well Why should I be original in KZbin comments? xD KZbin Comments are 50% Crtl+C Crtl+V

[@mbainrot]

Like a boss, like a wing, like a flyin brick!

[@RaceProducer11]

14:57 Jeb's mouth is going crazy

[@benistingray6097]

Cool video as always and please more like the floating point video i really learned something new and its always cool to get it explaint from you! Greetings from switzerland.

[@vipero07]

Scott you missed the XKCD reference regarding using the snake for justified text.

[@mattmantooth8818]

Every time I do a maneuver spot on I'm like "And that us!!" in Scott Manley accent. I'm an Aussie, so it's hard.

[@kendokaaa]

I totally liked your floating point video and would like to see more

[@Ioansiatat]

u are my hero Mr Scot! keep doing what u do!

[@zacksstuff]

Thanks to time zones, I can watch Friday's SpaceX launch at a reasonable time of day. 10:21 PM Pacific, actually a time that I'm usually awake for.

[@Mara-hm4bj]

I believe the rolling of the B-Wing was caused by the small ailerons next to the engines, the small ones that were hidden

[@infrabread]

Why do i keep missing these streams!

[@lazarus6700]

They are on Twitch and his name I think is syzygy.

[@HEHEHEIAMASUPAHSTARSAGA]

His twitch name is actually szyzyg.

[@ethanwood9598]

The picture of the webcast have Mars transforming to be earth-like so I think that is one his long term goals

[@Ezis9]

*plays "All the Strange, Strange Creatures" as he enters Mar's atmosphere

[@MoonMan22]

14:04 Exactly what Elon's reaction will look like when it really happens.

[@phearlock2537]

Oh, you mentioned the control settings for control surfaces. They're still there, you just have to click the "Std Ctrl" option and it'll give you the usual FAR settings of being able to set desired % for pitch, roll, yaw, AoA as well as max deflection angle.

[@PhezterGamingChannel]

New Sub from Texas! I live near the SpaceX Test Site. They are awe inspiring, in person.

[@MrBlackMysterious]

This is what I did today,when my first "To Mun and Back" Mission only seemed to have enough fuel to lighty strife the atmosphere,it took about 8 orbits I think Thought about your awesome channel while this happened

[@klioseth4336]

+MrBlackMysterious use your kerbal jetpack to push the capsule toward kerbin! saved my ass a few time!

[@MrBlackMysterious]

Well that would be helpful as fuck :D Thanks for sharing that tipp

[@YaroKasear]

ALSA and PulseAudio both really improved Linux sound. Of course, I remember when PulseAudio first rolled out how angry it got everyone including yours truly, because it was not really mature, no one really knew how to configure it right, and it broke sound more often than not.

[@GeorgeMonet]

I watched the floating point video. While I didn't quite understand what you were discussing I did like the style of video.

[@Slaxbox]

6:20 - Now that's just punbelievable.

[@kroposman2302]

The last time I opened internet browser while playing KSP, I got a blue screen of death. T_T

[@kiwivogel]

You could clip in two fuel/ore tanks at appropriate locations and transfer ore/fuel between the two to change the COM.

[@saberline152]

I watched the floating point video but I didn't get the more difficult programming stuff, you did explain or try to explain the hard stuff verry well and I liked the video though

[@kahoticreaper9649]

personally i thought the zero point video was fantastic! I would love to have more vids of that type.

[@ikichullo]

7:53 I returned my HTC vive that i got for my birthday last year because one of the tracking station power bricks conked out on me.

[@FiNiTe_weeb]

15:50 FLOATING point errors... so you can end up FLOATING above the surface I see what you did there.

[@GeoffLean]

Like a boss, like a wing... Like a boss with wings.

[@texasfossilguy]

Your senator Palpatine is on point!

[@the_pazter1596]

I might do a MIR replica or an ISS one, it's great what you can do with this!

[@huracan200173]

Hey Scott have you noticed the trucks's behavior on the space plane hangar at 16:39 with the new wheel model? hehe they're insane! Awesome video as always btw :)

[@JamziboyMinecraft]

I understand the live-stream content, but i would appreciate a thing in the title disclaiming it. Every video I get excited to watch i have to close again because i don't have time to scrub through or watch in full and that's a shame! Perhaps someone could volunteer to edit down the live-stream videos to 10--20mins? That'd be awesome. Love the content regardless

[@scottmanley]

+Jamziboy Good news is the Red Dragon landing is right at the start.

[@AccOriginal]

+Jamziboy use pause, continue watching when you have time again :)

[@JettQuasar]

I've been trying to design a stock SpaceX dragon for a while but there are things in the real world that just can't be done well in the game - that's where mods come in...

[@ZavorotKostey]

How about to KSP Interstellar Season 2?

[@Hulksterx]

Scott Manley and chill time.

[@elvishfiend]

I would have loved to see him try to create and fly a Modified Nebulon B Frigate in Atmo

[@junk5501]

Your Emperor Palpatine is actually pretty good.

[@bluewales73]

I want more youtube videos to end with "STAAAAP"

[@Logan-xu1mm]

your emperor impression is quite good

[@SirRobertSpriggs]

You should have put another reaction wheel on the other side too - opposite of the cockpit.

[@BenPearson_kd7uiy]

The B-wing flies almost as well as the real things were;-)

[@gabrielsabode]

you should do lots more of these ksp streams!

[@lylecheckeye6300]

I would love to see you put a mercury redstone rocket using say 1 or 2 F1-A engines !! Also, what engines did the orig. mercury redstone rocket use ?

[@SleetGamesPC]

The capsule mod you are using actually has a heat shield with built in landing legs you can use, just giving you a heads up.

[@mason7921]

Hey Scott. On the video where you tested can you de-orbit a moon. Can you de-rotate moon? Or maybe de-rotate Kerbal. Don't have to do a gravity turn?

[@frasermanley9903]

you should get some of those rocket landing legs the Soviets were testing for their moon programming.

[@NJP695]

The one stream I don't show up for and someone tried to turn it into a code stream! Dammit

[@NathanTenney]

Sweet stache on Jebediah

[@harry979]

Yeah I think everyone on the planet has now heard of spacex

Gee, that election prediction didn't go so well.....

[@TheFlyerX]

Yeay new video!

[@johnrodrigues2018]

looks like scott cant avoid the crashing like myself i cant build anything without crashing

[@johnrodrigues2018]

client crashing not ship crashing :p game crashes alot

[@johnrodrigues2018]

+Heck G. my gpu isnt overclocked its stock speed

[@johnrodrigues2018]

+Heck G. oh i used the crimson amd software. ill try that next time i play kerbal

[@johnpetersen5341]

Hello Scott Manley! Not only did I like the video on 64-bit, but I'd love it if you could go into more detail about approaches to measuring, bounding, and minimizing floating point error, and any alternative representations worth mentioning (I'm thinking of fixed point arithmetic.) Any experience you can bring from Apple would be welcome, too. In case it isn't said enough, I'm happy with the way you run your channel and have nothing to complain about. PS -- did you say Tru64? Didn't support end a couple of years ago?

[@0090Blue0900]

that "eye" that follows you around gives me the creeps

[@jardvergar230]

Ahhhh.....the long dank begins and the Videos ends !!! Is there a 2nd Stream-Part?

[@hydroxa4330]

+Scott Manley Scott, could you try out this challenge I thought of where you must get to a celestial body of your choice with JUST the power of decoupler ejections. it's hard but I managed to do it in the demo to mun.

[@ZR3FR1K]

I want to see Scott try and make a BV 141 airplane.

[@SMD234WG]

The heat shield for the capsule has the gear built into it, Scott. Dang, Scott, you drunk again?

[@kubarodak730]

Hi, recently I watched the Martian, and I think that, if you want to, could you try building the Ares III Hab? On Mars, and if your really bored, you can try reenact the movie itself. Please, I'd like to see that. Thanks☺

[@Sander_Datema]

I don't know if you have that many live viewers from Europe. I always get the notifications from Twitch at 7 in the morning, Central European time. Russia might be watching :)

[@JamLeGull]

If you build Star Wars stuff could you please tweak them to work as they should, flying in atmosphere like aeroplanes but also having some kind of hyper efficient ion engine things?

[@aaflyer7876]

Awesome!!!!!!

[@flankana]

it is star wars day today as well

[@HunterGeophysicsAustralia]

What, still no Falcon 900, Scott? ;P

[@scottmanley]

+Hunter Geophysics - Australia maybe next week.

[@HunterGeophysicsAustralia]

haha. This is gonna be epic. :D

[@spacemannich6107]

I liked the 32 vs 64 bit video but what I really want is serious business :)

[@430zack]

i have an idea, there is water and ice on mars right? What if someone created a machine that could split molecules, then we could split water into hydrogen and oxygen, so basicly a supply of air and fuel?

[@XpertPilotFSX]

You have a rlly nice collection of mods! Which mods do you use for all of your rocket engines?

[@frankcentlivre7465]

About what time and days can we watch these live? I checked your twitch last night, but you weren't streaming at the time. Thanks for your response, cheers!

[@victorgavrilovici8771]

God damit i wanted to see the long dark! xD

[@owlplaysyt]

If I were to take Aerospace Engineering, where would KSP give me something of an advantage, if there is any advantage to be gained?

[@thomasvanbeusekom8945]

nice one

[@lostincyberspaceIII]

i think part of the problem with the bwing is its lack of mass on the bottom, i be it should have a little more mass there.

[@maximum-trollage]

May the 4th he whith you

[@Pieh0]

17:18 No need to get pissy at Google for you telling it to search for B's and exclude anything with wing in it. Maybe if you didn't fat finger it in, it would have found it first time :P.

[@74oshua]

But it's fun to make fun of superior search engines D:

[@MrChrisHynd]

IS THIS VERSION 1.1?? ive been waiting for the realism overhaul for it.

[@randomranting6373]

scott, if I do ask, what recording software do you use? I was thinking of making a tutorial/factual channel (like santoro, Kurzesagt, etc) for scientific things and orbital mechanics/rocket science lies under that category (KSP + RSS + Real Fuels + FASA, and more).

[@Luka_3D]

Hey Scott. At which days of the week and at what time do you stream? I would like to finaly see you live. Also. Since you are playing in real solar system, could you install orbit decay mod?

[@Sander_Datema]

Don't know the day, but most of the time it's around 6:00 UTC (Evening in America...) Yes for orbital decay!

[@christiangibson1120]

Hi Scott, have you checked this out with Tim Dodd?

[@nathandean1687]

actaully with th eright level of tech. wich we dont have atm every thing is posible. now if the coverment released all that beatiful alien tech. they been hiding away. then we can prove to every alien live form out there that we can live in space.

[@kylematlock7499]

19:50 Yea,you might want to just stick to rockets lol

[@rparker069]

the earth may as well be hollow from my standpoint, I'm not saying it is physically, but from a view of "there's no possible way of getting anything down there to take pictures of it currently" it may as well be hollow. Just like the ocean has no deepest point and Mars has no life Basically, a very simplistic version of "If you can't show me a picture of it then it's not real"

[@OsirusHandle]

+rparker069 Something can have a physical property without needing to see it... For example, gravity and heat distribution would be completely wrong. We have also been down the challenger deep.

[@scottmanley]

+rparker069 Consider that taking a picture is just recording an image based on light waves, similarly you can make images using sound waves, like the sound of seismic waves moving through the earth. We already have images of earth's interior.

[@rparker069]

Scott Manley see now that is omething I didn't know In that case allow me to change my thinking to "it may as well not exist because there's no currently possible way to use it"

[@jodomo4279]

+rparker069 But it does exist, and we do study it, and that study affects our understanding of the world and our ability to exploit it (fossil fuel prospecting and seismology, for example). "It may as well not exist" is a bizarre thing to say...

[@shadelz2524]

The Dragon V2 has around ~450∆V in real life, but Red Dragon have more fuel tanks than the human rated version.

[@shadelz2524]

Red Dragon will* have

[@scottmanley]

+Dylan D I looked at a paper which suggested it would be more like 700m/s for a red dragon. 450 is with a full payload.

[@remcovanwoerkom9546]

that's more than i thought!

[@Crimsonedge1]

+Dylan D I prefer the OP as I read it with a Russian accent... "Red dragon have more fuel tank".

[@SpaghettiMarinarable]

Can FAR jive with the nifty effects of supersonic retropropulsion?

[@pictobloxer5412]

They're gonna use lander engines
