Return to Luna | For All Kerbalkind

This episode we send crew back to the Moon in preparation for establishing a permanent base.
For All Kerbalkind is a competitive career mode series with N9 Gaming and Carnasa, set in realism overhaul with RP-1 realistic progression. In my videos I lead the Kaputnik design bureau as it races to raise the red flag across the solar system. The game is in version 1.12.3 and uses the Making History and Breaking Ground expansions.

I'm imagining our stations drifting past each others in the future, and the crew just flipping the other station off through the windows haha

[@TheBeardyPenguin]

Umbrella Academy driveby moment :P

[@SPACEMAN98]

[@monitorlizardkid8253]

Flipping off each other, making faces, sticking out their tongues, blowing raspberries... ...heck, I imagine they might even taunt each other over the radio.

[@AlexMueller1982]

A funny thought 😂

[@stevennotthe2997]

It would be cool to see beardy build something like the nuclear UR-700A to send stuff to mars or something

This series is one of my favorite, on or off youtube. Nice to see beardy's crewed lunar exploration resuming.

[@villager5633]

Concept: a kerbal named Polo who you try to get on every launch you can with Marco

[@threestrikesmarxman9095]

The Lithuanian Marko may be an allusion to _The Hunt for Red October_ character Marko Ramius, who is the Lithuanian captain of the _Red October_ submarine.

[@SRFirefox]

The soviet government approved the N1 program within months of the first test article S-IC starting testing at Stennis. I'm glad to hear a "space cadet" acknowledging the realities of the engineering challenges of moving a program that quickly. The Soviets repeated the same crash program mistake with the Polyus station, though perhaps its for the best that Polyus ended up at the bottom of the Pacific. When given the time and funding, the red engineers could put up a performance comparable to their NASA counterparts as evidenced by Energia and Buran.

[@SuprSBG]

Second! Now that I’ve got the comment down quick, I wanted to say WOOOO MORE FOR ALL KERBALKIND I LOVE THIS SERIES 16:27 you said about strapping something of equal mass to the other side, what about some sort of science package? Or maybe a “science” package that could rover around and investigate “rocks”. By science I mean spying and by rocks I mean American probes. Also, can’t wait for the stream on Friday!

[@ericpopcorn6607]

5:50 Slight note the Integrated Powerhead Demonstration was developed by the Air Force Research Laboratory and NASA in the 2000's before SpaceX's Raptor. it was Hyrdolox and had a thrust of 250,000 lbs. It was however a ground test engine to demonstrate the technology while Raptor has flown.

[@Avectim]

oh kerbalkind my beloved i'm blessed by your presence once again! also 16:20 just strap 2 rovers on opposite sides and call it a job well done XD

[@AlexMueller1982]

That ist not a bad Idea. Things go wrong. Spare Parts may be needed.

[@l.e.a.d.761]

Always a treat when this series uploads.

[@kirillshumakov5459]

Glory to RED explorers of alien worlds! Great work!

[@unownyoutuber9049]

The Alt hist timeline "A Sound of Thunder" is pretty similar to the hypothetical timeline you where talking about during lunar orbit rendezvous. Its a really good read.

[@odinoblub3003]

LETS FUCKING GOOOOO Also, for the object to balance out the rover you could do some sort of pizza hut ad like they had for the Zvezda launch.

[@info-overload]

On the other side of the rover, you could strap a robotic rover or a bay of experiments

[@samvcostin]

immediately clicked it. for all kerbalkind let's GOOOO

[@ABCDFG-vc8so]

I cant wait to see what the lander looks like! So happy to see more Kerbalkind :)

[@grendizergo4193]

just watched the whole playlist on background in 2 days while playing ksp . this is one of the best series on youtube for sure, super fun and super informative too. pls don't stop

[@buckdanny9062]

Marko from the Lithuanian SSR huh? Did he happend to be a submariner in his past life?

[@TheBeardyPenguin]

Well spotted reference ;)

[@Geoe-om3dr]

right before my exam, thank you beardy, and cheers!

[@docranchoth6731]

4:15 Woohoo, Nkoloso Kerman soars into the heavens! And I, too, am probably enjoying this a little too much. Thank you! :)

THANK HEAVANS MY POST EXAM PRAYERS HAVE BEEN ANWSERD

[@landocalrissian.]

I screamed when I saw this in my feed

[@chipomukonoweshuro5859]

whoo. Nice to have you back beardy!

[@jmstudios457]

Something to also consider with the basic isentropic flow equattons is that they assume the gas mixture doesnt change through the nozzle. The actual theoretical maximum might end up veing alighrly higher because of unaccounted for enthalpy, but i still think that the one before was fucked

[@mccdtk]

And in the middle of my exam period the bit of respite came. Good job on salvaging Rodina 8!

[@JoeyBC]

To the moon!

[@WrenPhoenix]

16:15 - Perhaps a deployed science package to counter weight/mass the other side?

[@FullerPrism]

I’m happy for the new episode, though it has been a while, I am looking forward to the new episode

[@BulletsTheBlazing]

WE ARE SO BACK!

[@kiwakatoraco8533]

Be careful with those srb motors on your lunar lander, you may be feeding the kraken a tasty meal next landing!

[@RagingDuck859]

It might be stupid but you could as a counterweight to the rover add a small lunar lab to bring more science equipmemt, IDK if it is worth it but it is the first idea that comes to mind.

[@heliogt1961]

the journey to the stars continues comrades

[@antoniomaffei7887]

Thanks for keeping this series alive, it's the peak of ksp

[@zyavoosvawleilte1308]

If you ever make the sukhou 27, Marko should be the test pilot since he already has experience pulling insame stunts

[@icevlad148]

Are you saying that soviets had an engine with 100% efficiency on paper? God, there was so much potential.

[@TheBeardyPenguin]

Uhh no Every engine has 100% efficiency on paper if you don't include any losses in your calculations

[@unepintade]

A day late on my end due to travel, but a glorious video. that was some sketchy launch there Luckily had the dV margin for that stage to be the ultimate problem child!

[@humbertomello214]

Your videos are amazing.👍

[@Lukas.Cancelosi]

Concerning your argument about the SpaceX's approach to vehicle design circa 21:45, people 100% have a problem with the amount of engines and the "blowing up superheavy booster after superheavy booster" approach to development.

[@matthewligon4386]

It made my day when I watched it

[@godtheallmighty6138]

BEAUTIFULLLL

[@toadbumps9537]

Yay! Another instalment. Let me grab my coffee.

Nepeta sketching out a shipping chart on the lunar surface so future explorers will know which cosmonauts had good chemistry

[@slowrider8680]

Heres an Idea, to oppose the mass of the rover you can add ANOTHER rover so they can race! or the more boring option and add a drill

[@wer-kj6is]

NEW FOR ALL KERBAL KIND VIDEO HAS REALISED

[@eirinym]

I absolutely did knock SpaceX for their early testing of the Starship hardware. They could have done things a bit more prudently for sure.

[@paulsidhuUK]

Another great episode. Engine failure makes for excitement for viewers no doubt.

[@jimmymcgoochie5363]

“We would rather die than [accept help from the Americans]” I’m not sure your kosmonauts would agree to that!

[@Simoncuong]

Why not put a statue of lenin and/or marx kerman on the moon to counterweigh the rover?

[@andreasklaassen5104]

Sorry for this, but its actually the Russian SFSR (Socialist Federative Soviet Republic) not the Russian SSR (Socialst Soviet Republic) its a little historical inaccuracy, but keep up the good work.

[@PlanetVenuz]

YEAHHHH

[@draftymamchak]

This reminded me of that one time when one of my kerbals was named Walter White in RP-1 out of luck.

[@bevvyfischer4386]

lets go nepeta!!!

[@linecraftman3907]

Since N-2 has ample performance why aren't you pointing the outer engines outwards so that their thrust vectors point at the COM in case an engine fails? that's what i do for my rockets in rp-1, the cosine losses are negligible and i don't have to loose opposing engine

[@learnercoder]

Nice

[@johnlongmore5750]

I'm sure if you drop those engine adjustments, and the math behind them to the RP-1 devs, they'd probably be quite grateful

[@eirinym]

One question for you, it's probably been answered, but although this series is competitive, I was wondering whether there may ever been the odd collaborative mission. We did see Apollo-Soyuz, and there were eventually (post-Soviet) the Shuttle-Mir flights.

[@GreenBlueWalkthrough]

I would say the aeronaut were not a publicity stunt like the oh so many today... But itsead were a critical parody of European Coloniztion and how the space race was no different to the scamble for Africa. Edit: and side note atleast they made a parady Moonshot litterly no one el;se but the US and soveits even got that far.

[@rthousand]

Yesss

[@mxcokoko]

Perhaps on one side could be a rover, and the other side some kind of impact drone or maybe a stationary platform to commemorate the Soviet Moon Landing? I don't realistically think you could do all that much with what basically amounts to a glorified counterweight, depending on how heavy a rover is.

[@patrikcath1025]

Oh, since the pentaborane RD-270 came up, wasn't that one completely made up by Astronautix?

[@YMandarin]

was the lander really this high in the design? seems a bit high for a lander to me

[@TheBeardyPenguin]

No, the real LEK concept is much shorter and wider, but I didn't want to have to retool the fairing or make something that looked too similar to the US Lunar Module. I also drew inspiration from the bonkers upsidedownsoyuz 19K lander concept to reach the final design.

[@joshuasteward6672]

Nice! Whose video is up next? Been awhile since we’ve seen anything from Carnasa

[@maks8751]

OMG! So, I will not go to sleep tonight)

[@manubremer8295]

Would it be possible to expand Salyut 4 with modules from ESA and NASA? Both don't have their own spacestations in Orbit around Earth and it would be a cool concept for an alternate timeline ISS.

[@HalNordmann]

Not sure why, but your LEK ascent stage looks a lot like a Mars one

[@bravoalpha101st]

epic

[@thomas-ho7wd]

that LK lander looks a bit off

[@Vehrec]

I honestly do critique the superheavy development cycle as wasteful and stupid, but that's neither here nor there.
