The LEM made the circularisation burn with its RCS thrusters because the ascent engine could only be fired ones.

[@briocherockets]

The ascent engine was hypergol fueled, there's no reason it couldn't be reignited. If I'm wrong, please correct me

[@maxspezialbauag9745]

Update: The ascent engine was rated for 10 ignitions but in the Apollo missions they only made one burn with it to get the LM into a 11 by 55 miles Orbit and then used the RCS thrusters to get it into a circular orbit.

[@briocherockets]

@@maxspezialbauag9745 interesting, thanks for the info

[@MattLowne]

I planned to do this, but unfortunately I was worried I'd run out of RCS so I just used the spark and hoped nobody would point this out lmao

[@maxspezialbauag9745]

A way to get around this problem is clipping smal monoprop tanks into the LM or putting a SAS weel below the dockingport so you don't need to waste monoprop on the attitude control.

Jeb leaving the LEM after re-entry to parachute to safety is pretty much how Yuri Gagarin got back after his first spaceflight. His capsule didn't have parachutes either, so he had to eject at 7km and land using his own personal chute. As a result, you can dunk on NASA once more, since you've managed to not only cram the Saturn IB test flight and LEM tests into one launch, you've also achieved it without any fancy-schmancy capsule chutes.

[@Nafinafnaf]

Matt’s improv skills for doing a voice over is amazing

[@phantime23ball]

4:50 Because the Saturn 1 was a testing rocket to have the same functions of the Saturn V. The Saturn 1 demonstrated the Saturn V’s stages and functions. If the Saturn 1 didn’t exist, it would be okay to go with the Saturn IB, but if the Saturn IB didn’t have testing beforehand, the rocket would have exploded or malfunctioned. So that is NASA had gone with the Saturn I before the Saturn IB.

[@Faolon-dx2ft]

Matt. Deploy the casing in one stage and have the parachutes deploy in another. What is happening is the code is saying that you can open the parachutes when they are stowed. Then when you try to manually do it, the game remembers that the parachutes are still 'stowed' therefore not letting them deploy. I hope this is helpfull.
