MOON SHOT! Low tech moon spacecraft in KSP 10% science. Next time we'll get even more science! \ 13

[@michaelminecraftplays7773]

GET BASIC SCIENCE (7) Because you can get almost 2 science points just going up past the Kerman line. Plus any more science you get useing the rocket sled

[@niakitten2937]

7) Whole heartedly agree with this!

[@blackeagle1985]

7 If you don't want to repeat your past mistakes

[@AlexanderGrange]

7. Basic science would probably be good because it will let you earn that science back faster.

[@Gaming1Doge]

"I don't think we have the tech for it, that being said this is the space cult so regardless of what technology we have. We're going to the fucking Moon" -VAOS 2024

[@Gaming1Doge]

that has way too much power behind it lol

[@TomGreen-zk8ik]

And so the glorious leader did bring kerbalkind’s blessed enlightenment to the mün

[@vaos3712]

🤣

[@albertotr1]

We have the will, there is a way - or we will make way. Space Cult!

[@logandarklighter]

7 - You REALLY need the science and the probe. And the BATTERY. Make the general construction your next goal after. And what about 3 - the aviation upgrade? If you have the science tools - then if you ALSO have aerodynamics, then you might be able to send actual PLANES to gather more science around Kerbin. And that will help as well. (When DO jet engines appear?) Speaking of - I seem to recall there's one or two good mods out there that re-order the tech tree and give you aviation earlier. And perhaps even propellers before jets if you've got the parts mods. HOWEVER - I think the version that has propellers adds some extra parts to the game and thus makes the start up load times slower with the need to load those parts. And other than Laythe and MAYBE Eve or Duna, the propellers don't really add anything that can't be better served by jets or rockets anyway. Bottom line - only use if you're REALLY OCD about doing things correctly in the historical sense. I've seen it done, ironically in a "world conquering" turn by turn competition run between TAPE and the Beardy Penguin. Penguin tends to win those competitions, but TAPE is - frankly - more "mad science" interesting to watch as a player. Heh.

[@onlirier2993]

7 SCIENCE. You know for sure that it'll get you enough for construction in short time, especially if you can get to the Mun with it.

[@Andersam]

I vote 7... But instead of a grind again. I think you should attempt a second Mun flyby with a gravity boost to slingshot out to Minmus and get that flyby as well.

[@Jermem]

i agree

[@logandarklighter]

I like that plan!

[@SSanatobaJR]

Not a bad idea, though he may need 6 boosters instead of 4, to make sure he has enough fuel to get back if there is a problem, but he could ditch the landing legs.

[@glenn_r_frank_author]

or get 7 and attempt a minmus landing which I think takes less DV than a mun landing because getting there takes only a tiny bit more and landing is significantly easier and less dv.

[@dezekpl7485]

gravity slingshot without manouver planner lmao

[@Chilldude4201]

7, Definitely get the science, I think it’ll be much more worthwhile and it’ll get you to struts quicker than struts will get you to science

[@callumcross4068]

7, that science Jr yields alot of science. Loving the series :)

[@victor_silva6142]

Ambitious aren't we VAOS? Ah, and by the way OMFG he is Role-playing crew quarters and life support in a long loop mission!? THANK GOD ❤🎉🎉 Serious VAOS. You are the best. I love this career series ❤

[@victor_silva6142]

9

[@proneturnip]

Get 7 because 9 will be much easier to get once you have 7 presumably. Love your crafts and videos ❤ thank you for your dedication!!

[@NickBDesigns]

Ingenious way of strut replacement using the same vessel interaction

[@bazem]

7 - More science, and the ability to send probes without the fear of losing your kerbals

[@MadPirateShin]

Using parachutes as struts is genius!

[@michaeltash514]

9 Tourism pays. Pays means ksc upgrades. Struts mean safe launches. Safe launches means more space science

[@goistoist]

General Construction. Hands down. MORE STRUTS

[@armin3749]

7 you will earn your science back much faster and not get stuck again

[@quoniam426]

7 it is. Science is the no brainer. More science per trip; less science grind.

[@kryptyk9085]

BASIC SCIENCE (7) so much science from science jr regrind kerbin

[@MaybeNotAFurry]

0:48 great now im in my 3 week surviving mars phase

[@cmbaz1140]

Vaos is cooking...slow cooking with 10% nevertheless... still cooking...😂

[@bromine_35]

Risky brisket

[@manieviljoen90]

Number 9 for the Space Cult. Grind the science bro!!

[@justovision]

7. One way probes to gather science.

[@JohnAslin]

Basic Science (7), as you stated this will enable additional science to be collected, making the acquisition of the Construction package happen more quickly.

[@MarcWeavers]

7 Basic Science! moar science gets moar science, then build stable crafts after

[@alex_itto]

7 science unlocks more stuff to play with

[@robertstuckey6407]

7. Basic science is the obvious choice

[@elijahwills7331]

7 for sure. I think many are forgetting how bloody long it will take to regain that science without a new science part!

[@pqddachu]

i personally think researching the terrier engine would be the best option. in that case you would have a smaller craft to bring to orbit meaning you wouldn't need such a large launch vehicle, which would make struts not as important.

[@guesswho2778]

General construction would also allow for smaller and less complex tourist missions. Basic science would garuntee he doesnt softlock himself in the next episode, he needs to be rushing down labs so he can get extra science

[@MinerBat]

i think 9, i think the ability to make large rockets easier will make moon (and minmus?) missions easier, which i think will get you the science needed to unlock the science jr faster than unlocking it first and then flying around kerbin for the third time. space missions are also more fun, and contracts also give you science i am pretty sure (also you can maybe pick a strategy in the administration building that gives you more science in return for funds or reputation? i think that is a thing even though almost no one ever uses it)

[@Concavenator_corcovatus]

SPACE CULT!!!!

[@HoraShadow]

Thanks for the video! My vote is on number 7. Regarding the bell notification, it is working normally for me.

[@chrisbacon3071]

To the moon!!!! Sorry I haven’t commented in a while I’ve been in a foreign country doing a remembrance service.

[@TomGreen-zk8ik]

I’ve been waiting for this very excitedly, not finished the video yet but this is lookin awesome VAOS

[@paulsoms7344]

7. Basic science all the way. Get satellites up for more science and money.

[@Wilczek_101]

Go with 9!

[@solomars]

me looking the thumbnail:" that's a fancy plug"

[@vaos3712]

🤣

[@MrJamesbondo07]

9. people will want to get more science parts to get more science, but i think you should go for more contracts and use the admin building to get science from them

[@lardbarth5180]

it's a bold strategy, cotton, we'll see if it works out for em

[@lorenzomarchi3820]

Get the science jr bro dont fuck this up Greatest series so far ❤❤ been loving every single craft

[@randycampbell6307]

Number 7, struts are nice but having the ability to do more science is probably a better bet. Means grinding again but it's worth it FOR SCIENCE! :)

[@WrenPhoenix]

7 --- Basic Science!

[@judet2992]

Was that Surviving Mars music playing in the build?

[@Tyrannosaurusstudios]

advanced rocketry

[@techsbyglebbagrov7470]

Science for the space cult, 7 for the win!

[@stekra3159]

Wow Mun landing congratulations

[@IntrepidHam]

7 Basic science would mean you wouldn't risk crew, which would be disastrous.

[@jameskessler8102]

Dude when I installed free IVA, via CKAN. It suggested that I also install some super immersive cockpit mods. Specifically ASET, and Avionics systems.

[@dezekpl7485]

get science 100%

[@SSanatobaJR]

7 Basic Science definitely

[@divegabe]

10% science mode is too brutal, you're nuts doing this grind haha!

[@vaos3712]

😈

[@grim13reapper]

Science!

[@wassembata]

surviving mars music

[@packediceisthebestminecraf9007]

7 on top of the extra science, I'm pretty sure the probe core would also allow you to land on the moon easier, because you don't need the added weight of a kerbal + command pod

[@joacogonzalez1430]

7! Put the science jr on your lunar craft and use bob to restore it

[@Cesar2057]

Yep...Basic science (SC-9001 Science Jr. and the Experiment Storage Unit... makes THE difference)

[@Andersam]

@@Cesar2057 I must be doing something wrong. What is the point of the storage unit? Does it do more than just give a central storage point. If not what is the advantage to not just having the science parts hold the storage themselves?

[@ChrisHovord]

7 !!!!

[@glenn_r_frank_author]

7 - BASIC SCIENCE!!!!

[@Zonalar]

7. Basic science. Im so surprised you made it as far as you did, on 10% science. More science is needed to get anywhere.

[@triganden]

Moah "parastruts"! (7)

[@fijo6207]

VAOs and SPACE CULT to the Moon!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤

[@droppedpasta]

Basic Science (7), you madman

[@mauriziomartini3973]

7, if you land on the mun soon you will have a lot of science to play with

[@banditodorito1191]

number 7, the science jr. would aid in The Grind and would get you to the other techs faster

[@edwarddormer1103]

7. And I’d suggest going to Minmus before landing on the Mun (needs less overall delta V?). Even if just for another flyby with the same rocket. And Minmus is a prettier place to get stuck if the mission goes Kerbal shaped!

[@tdot8280]

since the big sticks worked good with your same vehicle interaction sorcery, i say 7

[@tylermello3761]

7 Basic science would probably be good because it will let you earn that science back faster.

[@friedec3622]

7) If you have a choice to invest, always choose it first. Basic science all the way.

[@pteronoid]

7. if you want to escape the grind (which is gonna get exponentially worse). btw, any craft that get's into Mun orbit, can reach Minmus as well, landing on Minmus also requires less dV and science rewards are greater. Edit: on second thought, i over-engineer my crafts, so maybe that is why my Mun explorers can reach Minmus.

[@RocketBurn11]

7 for sure.

[@bmobert]

I want to say science. More science means unlocking the tech tree faster. But, no! I vote 9: construction! Because big rockets means big science from off planet! *That*, not extra science, will open the tech tree faster. 9 NINE!!! +-{ : - )

[@CaptainWhitmire]

For early career mode multi mk1 stuff I might recommend recoupler for adding rigidity to your crafts. That could be useful for this launcher here.

[@baileyforester8952]

Number 9! Let’s get outta here

[@dpenton]

After I saw your series up until this point, I was inspired and wanted to try 10% science mode. I have 4,938.6 hours of play time and thought this would be up my alley. It's not. It's sooo not. It's so friggen hard! I'll let you do it so I can watch, thank you for putting this up for me to enjoy and not have to suffer through! Hah take care

[@vaos3712]

😂👍

[@methusmit5015]

i think science is faster since you have the science jr to experiment in every kerbin biome but it's probably painfull to do XD

[@Diov514]

Try to research the terrier engine. With it's amazing vacuum delta V, it can do WORK!

[@torvald9208]

Basic Science

[@roguebracket2644]

7 from me. Been in your shoes and regretted not picking 7

[@berkay1448]

7 for that ronaldo routing

[@Jomads]

i think the reliant is better because it has less dry mass, for bigger space vehicles the swivels higher ISP should win out

[@colincampbell3679]

Number 9 > General Constitution as it will allow you to do more mission out there with Kerbal's.

[@СеменСеменыч-у6е]

Def more science, you can get tons of points just from fly-by. Also don't forget that crewed mission to Minmus is easier and requires less delta-V.

[@WildingWater]

Basic science

[@Kodisstuff]

7! If you get more science, you can get more money, then you can buy the struts, and then, buy other useful stuff.

[@PlayerCarter.]

7, basic science is a safer option in the long run but it'll take longer to get to the moon

[@Aporatael]

7 Don't make the same mistake again. And you can send probes out to other planets for even more science!

[@DistracticusPrime]

(7) Probably I'm too late, but: get basic science, for all the reasons above, but mainly because my gamer tech-tree OCD requires we stay in line.

[@Arhonnys]

You should choose basic sciences first (7) and upgrade the X-2 a bit by harvesting around the KSP then you unlock the other option

[@timothycater9055]

7. VAOS, I know number 9 is calling to you but you gotta do the right thing! Pick number 7, please!

[@olivershawen3503]

7. As much as larger vehicles would be nice, the extra science gain will be nicer.

[@kennybevan11]

7 definitely

[@theblumoop1769]

7, obviously

[@victor_silva6142]

I vote 9 ❤

[@cosmic_cupcake]

7, because jank constructs exploding is fun to watch.:3 Also you´ll gain science much quicker with the new stuff so you can unlock the other nodes sooner.

[@lardbarth5180]

I vote 7, 9 would offer more tourism money but the science can be regained through 7 then we make money

[@guard13007]

I know I'm too late for the vote, but taking #7 is the right option. Don't repeat your previous mistake.

[@quantumrandomness5114]

basic science

[@DeltaEntropy]

7. Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

[@pokerfaceproductions1010]

7 is the smarter choice

[@AndiePlaysGames]

7 all day and twice on Sundays.

[@matthewphoenix52]

Go and get Basic Science, it'll make you progress more fast than the other tech tree. Love your videos :)
