I love sea launch rockets

[@Stratzenblitz75]

When I saw the landers come out of the smoke stacks, I got a good chuckle haha. This is a beautiful and crazy mission! I can tell you've put a ton of effort into all the architecture, designs and camera work. Looking forward to the next part!

[@clayel1]

the rare stratzenblitz appearance!

[@victor_silva6142]

Aye😮

[@TDChannelKSP]

Hehe, thanks! I always try to challenge myself in finding new vehicle designs and aesthetics, both in the epic and... humorous kind. I appreciate the compliment, indeed it was quite a bit of work. Hope you enjoy the finale! :)

[@lucashatton7640]

[@SFS-Galaxy]

your videos are really good!

[@kerbinsphere]

I'm doing something similar to this but I won't be landing on Io or Europa, only flybys, it will be interesting to see how the two missions compare given that I'll be doing it with modern, present day tech instead of 1960s/70s era tech, I'm sure it will be a banger as always TD.

[@TDChannelKSP]

Heh that should be interesting indeed! Note that due to the accelerated timeline I do have some more modern tech (modern RL-10s, advanced NTRs) available. Will the Io/Europa flybys be crewed? Would still be quite a bit of weight just to have the radiation shielding needed to survive.

[@kerbinsphere]

@@TDChannelKSP yes, they will be crewed, they'll have a decent amount of lead shielding (10mm I believe), and I wouldn't expect you to be able to do any sort of Jupiter mission reasonably without advanced NTRs

[@wvh-pups]

yay finally! next one is trappist system!

[@listener-tt1gw]

Impossible in RP-1, kinda possible in ancient RO

[@listener-tt1gw]

The problem is NTR can’t get to that kind of speed…even with TD’s magical power of making **BIG** rockets

[@listener-tt1gw]

Also you need to dump kerbalism away and replace it with TAC or USI to either hibernate or have new generations…

[@listener-tt1gw]

@Reach did his Trappist in KSPIE style, very different to stockalike or RO style(though he limited himself from using FTL tech)and he did it six years ago when RP1 itself is still branded as lightweight modpack so I’m not sure if it’s feasible now

[@patarinchanaonketpol6153]

15:41 you basically used the seayuz in the project thoila

[@TDChannelKSP]

Correct! (well, Andoria, not Tholia) It's effectively the precursor to Seayuz, timeline-wise - switching to sea-based launches later once they realized massive land infrastructure was too cost prohibitive. It's also a reference to the first time I used it 5 years ago... kzbin.info/www/bejne/mqSzXqyHZpyIbpo

Hi, td

[@Countryballsandstuff999]

The Kronos turned out to be kind of goofy

[@haolu8099]

Guess the crew came back with lots of cancer judging by the fact that they probably had to cross the radiation death zone.

[@TDChannelKSP]

Not quite! All of them stayed safely below their career limits of 1.5Sv thanks to some planning and trajectories in Part 2 ;) plus, only 2 crew will venture inside the radiation belts, the other 4 will remain outside. (so, higher risk but not too terrible)
