Incredible stuff, deserves way more attention

[@goldfing5898]

The aircraft sequence from 12:50 to 16:50 has such a great background music ("Machinery of the Stars" by Scott Buckley), peaceful, euphoric and triumphant. And as we know from Earth, a vacation flight to the sea and beach (14:20) is always relaxing :-)

[@ballreal3]

*this is class* 🤩

[@andyquach3896]

you are so underrated you deserve more subs

[@SubtleHawk]

These are amazing! Just subscribed. One thing I'd love to see though is missions that leave from places other than Earth. I think a big part of colonizing the Moon is being able to mine it and build stuff in orbit without having to fight Earth's gravity, so it would be cool to see a ship being assembled in lunar orbit for a future mission like this one. A mission in which all the supplies except the crew and maybe a few other things come from outside Earth.

[@rustyshackleford234]

Yeah I’d imagine a human expedition to titan would start on the moon. Especially since that’s a hundred years away.

[@goldfing5898]

13:00 These astronauts are so cute and funny :-) And the aircraft they enter reminds me of the Messerschmitt Me 163 Komet rocket plane of WW II. It had a similar landing gear and a propeller in front (not for propelling the aircraft but in order to generate electric current during flight, like a dynamo).

[@leriku2270]

shouldve taken the starship with you and used that as a lander :D amazing video tho the Spacecraft pics you showed before assembling them was exactly how nessus did it, looks really good.

[@EntropianVFX]

Bringing a whole Starship would have been prohibitively heavy and without storable propellent, the propellent would boil off long before the Starship even landed on Titan. If one were used, ISRU would be a requirement, which I worked to avoid so that the mission's success wasn't dependent on it. Still an interesting suggestion though, I might use it for similar missions in the future!

[@leriku2270]

@@EntropianVFX oh yeah didnt think about that. also the docking port/airlock is pretty high up on the starships body, might create an unbalanced center of mass and cause problems during burns. 2 starships horizontally on the sides tho should be safe.

[@isaiahphillip4112]

@@EntropianVFX There's no reason why you can't keep the propellant refrigerated if you have a power source and enough radiators, boil-off is only a problem when you have no active cooling solution, which would be needed for a mission of this type anyways. If you brought a Starship with just landing propellant, that would be about 120-150 tons which doesn't seem that far out of the question based on the amount of mass it looks like you brought, plus Starship would combine your ascent vehicle, surface base infrastructure, and possible even the exploratory hopper vehicles all into one. The extra mass for ISRU seems like the only real concern here.

[@patrikcath1025]

This looks so cool and now I actually want to get back into RSS. A couple dumb questions, what mod are those wind turbines from? Also how did you get the Kerbals to all simultaneously walk in a neat line?

[@EntropianVFX]

The wind turbines are from Planetside Exploration Technologies and the tandem kerbal walking is from EvaFollower. I'm glad you liked it!

[@goldfing5898]

Cool that the missions are performed via Starship launches. When this video was uploaded one year ago, it was about IFT-1, but in the meantime siginficant progress was made, and Starship reaching orbit is no dream anymore.

[@arieldario3849]

[@Techno-manz]

[@Strelnikov403]

For the cargo hauler, why not save a bunch of dry mass and land the entire surface base truss section itself, rather than the individual modules? Include a small skycrane or even just a few separatrons to clear the base sections once it's down, and you wouldn't need to drag the empty truss around. Could even stick the mothership in a cycler orbit for an easy Saturn cargo ferry.

[@Wadethewallaby2001]

You could just use the space plain instead of a ascent or decent modules. Put one space plane onto the mothership then use the space plane to glide down to the surface. Then you can explore with that space plane and then use that space plane to come back into orbit and dock with the mothership and use that same space plane to return back to earth.

Hi, how do you bellyflop the starship so stable? Right after I finish entry and get into the lower atmosphere, mine starts to go out of control and pencil dive engines first. What are the settings on your flaps, etc. Do you have FAR?

[@EntropianVFX]

Make sure to fill the header tank at the nose of the craft to properly balance the CoM. I used FAR for everything except the Starship descent, as FAR is really busted when dealing with node-attached aerodynamic surfaces.
