Building an Epic Space Station with Reusable Rockets! - KSP 1.2.2

[@MarkThrimm]

We needed a new cargo terminal for the SSTO Space Program, so I thought this one might do. Station dry mass: 1000 tons, when full with cargo: 12500 tons. It needs parts from Umbra Space Industries mods. I hope you'll like it, you're great guys I love you!

[@f1viewer319]

Mark Thrimm you are really the best gamer in ksp! We love you!

[@michelledilullo2762]

Mark Thrimm when ur payload is bigger the the rocket pushing it 😄 love the vid btw

[@rusinol2137]

it was taller rocked had 8 engines and 8 tanks

[@jxmint4458]

Mark Thrimm you deserve way more subs , amazing

[@lelagrangeeffectphysics4120]

can you tell me what music is playing, I know it's from jonhames bornholf just don't know which.

[@Sashagamer614]

you know real shit is up when the launchpad blows up at launch

[@igors.oliveira5809]

"Not even NASA computers can run the take off in 60fps" Lmao

[@Shuroii]

Honestly it's game optimization which is at fault here

[@Skullbrothers]

@@Shuroii not really. No modern simulation runs perfectly in a modern computer.

[@iCore7Gaming]

@@Skullbrothers KSP is litterally put together with duck tape. It's terrible un optimised.

[@coalescence4479]

I keep coming back to this as one of the best videos you've created. Amazing work, Mark!

[@MarkThrimm]

Thank you, I appreciate that. Stay spacey!

[@evelynscharf7828]

I don't know if you've noticed, but your rockets are slightly un-aerodynamic...

[@achillesa5894]

IIIDoctor_EIII with enough rockets, everything is aerodynamic

[@marcofava]

IIIDoctor_EIII the kerbal solution is More Boosters

[@alexandrearrive6199]

Think about it, how do you space? Simple. Boosters, struts, and moar boosters.

[@zj6074]

Achilleas Angelopoulos correction: With enough rockets, aerodynamics cease to matter.

[@dragonfyre8802]

But only slightly

[@alexandrearrive6199]

I... I have no words. This is simply amazing. You've earned my absolute respect here Mr. Thrimm.

[@thesilentecho2528]

I agree.

[@christyprice1798]

Wait a second why arn't you go to space in the space station or do you only stay on earth?

[@MarcusHouse]

Now that thing is a freaking monster Mark. Superb stuff as always my friend! At 2:57 that liftoff must have shaken the bowels of Satan himself.

[@jam_herobrine1642]

You mean shook the Kraken right? well i think you did TAKE THAT KRAKEN THATS FOR ALL MY ROCKETS YOU MESSED UP and all the kerbals you killed eh have 'em i never cared about them anyway

[@LinksSpaceProgram]

Jam_Herobrine Kraken=Satan

[@technicallydifficulties7094]

@@LinksSpaceProgram the Kraken is Satan and God simultaneously, he rips apart space stations but blessed us with the Kraken drive.

[@floo1465]

Jam_Herobrine You at least care about Jeb, Bob, Bill, and Val, right? I only care about them. I even sent a randomly generated Kerbal into out of Kerbin’s SOI with no way of returning. Well, she could probably get back into Kerbin orbit, but she has no parachute. I don’t care about the random ones.

[@hh-ck6ko]

It probably costs more than my whole space program.

[@machintrucGaming]

He is only using recoverable space craft. Only fuel and station cost. And maybe the fairing cost too

[@bartacomuskidd775]

Shouldnt your space program cost half as much?

[@dallangenesis3370]

Jea right ... freegin money keeps kerbals going and brake em (out) one time >.

[@GigawingsVideo]

Your space program is to send dragons flying close to heaven and throw people to outer space expecting the best?

[@bartacomuskidd775]

Only half a man would ignore a short joke Tyrion...

[@gmt1]

You're improving your amazing cinematic editing with every video you release.

[@DayMow1]

guys like you must be hired at the NASA dude, I can barely leave the atmosphere without any failures, good job...

[@YelrocVideos]

Your combination of camera angles and music made the video feel epic. It's the kind of editing I expect from movies. So, professionally done. My only suggestion would be to add credits at the end of the video instead of in the video description.

[@kevinzheng7373]

But like what credits? I'm pretty sure he did everything by himself.

[@markdavis160]

Looks like the NASA concept art of a space station with two or three space shuttles docked and an enormous cargo bay from the 1980's. Looks amazing.

[@avivfrai4858]

Oh god, you built Trevithick Dock! That looks just like one of the Elite: Dangerous Outposts.

[@MarkThrimm]

Then I guess I did a good job because I was totally trying to recreate its looks. I even had a working hangar at some point, but even with tweakscale it turned out to be too part heavy and I had to scrap it.

[@goistoist]

I thought it looked familiar. :)

This was like a pretty big Space Station. So we got to remember we got to start building our ships in space. We got to have a Star Wars Galactic War. Space Station million people on board we have to just keep building. Something is 10 miles long. Maybe even three times that.

[@OscarSommerbo]

The thing that hit me during this video was how incredibly impractical SSTOs would be in real life, at least for vertical take offs.

[@jesusramirezromo2037]

Oscar Sommerbo Anithing with large wings would be impractical in real life

[@hamzaraza3178]

Better than space shuttles even though space shuttles are cooler

that was absolutely beautiful, good job man keep doing videos like this it's amazing

[@musicilike69]

Nice..I'd have saved on the part count by stripping out a lot of the RCS and using a tugboat in orbit to dock all the station parts. Thumbs up for blowing up the pad on launch too..Always nice when your monstrosity obliterates the pad on lift off. :)

[@LBOUNCER101]

I know this video is getting very old now but I can tell you to rewatch it for inspiration for my own KSP series this video is epic

[@hungnhat2602]

I like him when he launch the rocket,nice camera change mark!!

[@RandomnessCreates]

Oh hi mark

[@TheJamie109]

I've made a fair share of massive rockets like the one you used. I giggle every time I launch one because it is like 10x louder than a normal rocket with 1 mammoth and boosters.

[@alanrobbie4851]

Happy your Krakken is asleep. Mine wakes up to stations a third this size!

[@Haze1434]

Puts Heat Shields on top of every rocket. Lands rocket backwards, negating any effect of Heat Shields. Heat Shields: "Am I a joke to you?"

[@ViktorFerenczi]

Beautiful! Really good job! Only thing I missed are the escape pods on the side of the station. (Small return capsules with just enough propulsion to enter Kerbin's atmosphere.)

thats actually not a half bad idea(the vehicle you used to transport the parts). it could work irl if it had a sort of chamber to store the parts in that would make it more aerodynamic.

So what's with the inflatable heat shields? you open them but then enter the atmosphere with them on the other end.
