[@oliveguitar]

[@somethingforsenro]

late response, but i think this is surprisingly accurate to how the americans vs the soviets acted. the soviets, shooting a satellite with a cia plant still on it: "under no circumstances is he to reenter the spacecraft," then silently firing the missiles. cold. clinical. the american retaliation: "dodge this." action movie-esque. they know what they're doing, and they love it. bravo to the writing on that one.

[@mccdtk]

In this timeline the Pogoda 1 incident is what causes Kessler to formulate his theory

[@NovaRaptorTV]

Wow, what an episode! And for those who do not know, the US did something very similar to what N9 did here in the 80's. But instead of an SR-71, an F-15 Eagle was used, and did indeed destroy a satellite(albeit a US one as part of a test) in orbit. Now I need an F-15 to come in FAK!

[@laminat0996]

Except that one was an own, not other country's property💀

[@NovaRaptorTV]

@@laminat0996 true, but the F-15 still managed to do it. But, I’ll edit the initial comment to give more context.

[@laminat0996]

​​@@NovaRaptorTV there's not much *technical* difference between intercepting one's own satellite and someone else's satellite, unless it's actively maneuvering. The big part is the implications of setting up a precedent for essentially *unlimited space warfare* . It would be really interesting to see everyone get out of starting a World War Three now, it might require extending the definition of national airspace a few hundred kilometers up at the very least

[@Haz0052-tu7rr]

Jesus! This is like a whole new level above the u2 spyplane incident. I know you are not going to make a cold war gone hot scenario but after that you can say goodbye to no nukes in space.

[@trolleyfan]

Is he, though? Would you risk putting nuclear weapons in space now that you know the other side can just take them out at a moment's notice, *without* needing to use nukes themselves?

[@Gentleman...Driver]

@@trolleyfan yes. i would. And declarring that we will continue to observe everything that launches into space and using the nukes if something approaches the tactical/strategic sats.

[@KarolOfGutovo]

@@trolleyfan How would they know which satellite carries the payload? It's not like they can easily access the data

[@trolleyfan]

@@KarolOfGutovo It'll be the ones the Soviets have to regularly service. The last seventy years, the thought behind nuke was you either keep them in as hardened, hard to damage sites as you can...or you keep them on the move and as hidden as you can. Satellite based weapons do neither.

[@Vehrec]

Meanwhile, a young Don J. Kersler watches the spreading radar returns with a worried look as he does some math about the probabilities of one satelite's debris destroying another...

[@N9GamingOfficial]

Dont worry, all of the debris from the impact deorbited in a matter of minutes. We slammed it all downwards essentially!

[@jackbiddulph]

[@HALLish-jl5mo]

Excited to see some escalation. Setting the stage for a Jamestown crisis style conflict. I know it’s another mod to deal with, but BD armoury defensive turrets would be a cool addition. Just placing one could be an escalation. And it would place an impetus to place one first at key lunar locations, since whoever did that would be able to deny the other access, allowing for an organic conflict escalation.

[@williamsplays8528]

BD armory was already given the redlight. Sorry

[@Destroyer_V0]

[@raptorfae.6645]

Tbh even though they're not adding any further factions, it would be cool if the soviets chinese allies decide this is a step too far and the sino-soviet split occurs, with the KSNA starting up their own domestic rocket production to match up to their former friends... In turn, multiple other middle powers (India , Japan, Brazil, Indonesia, South Africa) could see this as a trend to counter American and soviet space antics and start up their own programs in turn...

[@raptorfae.6645]

In return, other space agencies could essentially"ground share" launchpads with foreign space agencies. (the domestic Australian space agency in woomera for example)

I just wanna say, I think your style of making these episodes is beautiful - equal parts storytelling, let's play, and educational. I have to ask, tho, do you have any plans to make a single-player KSP series with this style? I think this sort of video format would do wonderfully for a KSP series in general, and I'm curious if you plan on experimenting with it further.

[@N9GamingOfficial]

Thanks! I was making a single player RO playthrough similarly long before For All Kerbalkind came about, it has some similarities. At the moment I'm opting not to continue it until this series finds its finale. But I have distant plans yeah :)
