Space Race KSP - Apollo 8 - Making History

[@Doctor699]

Totally forgot i was watching a KSP video. This was properly impressive, you feel like the 4th astronaut in that tin can.

[@GameplayReviewUK]

A massive shout out to Ace V, Cody, Kamren and Ryan, it is thanks to these guys I was able to take a long week end off of work to try to finish the series before the 50th anniversary of the Apollo moon landings. I Hope they will soon be joined by more Patreons so we can do even more.

[@HebaruSan]

When they were talking about landing in the blue part or the brown part... that made me realize that Apollo wasn't really fail-safe. If they needed to abort, they would still have to plan the landing to come down in the right spot. Whereas the shuttle lacked survivable aborts at launch but had greater cross range capability on return.

[@Warriorking.1963]

I think I read somewhere the Apollo Command Module was perfectly capable of surviving landing on land. After Apollo 7, which would have been a major problem for the crew if they had came down on land, the seats were changed and, while they would definitely have felt it, there would be no real damage done to the crew if such a landing occurred. Landing in the water was still the much preferred option, but in an emergency, coming down on land would have been perfectly fine.

​your art is so exciting, enthralling and thrilling to watch as it was 50 years ago.

[@GameplayReviewUK]

Thanks, this is what I was hoping for, to me I feel like I'm rediscovering something I already felt familiar with.

[@cgbreeki849]

Wow... you deserve my applause. Congrats! You made an exceptionally incredible video! Seriously though, this is absolutely beautiful man. You matched KSP and the real footage and audio perfectly. Awesome!

[@JustMeADutchGuy]

I greatly enjoyed it!From my tent on my way cycling to Denmark. Your editing is getting so smooth.

[@MATVEICH]

Apollo 11, salyut-1,6,7, skylab, soyuz-apollo next. Yes?

[@GameplayReviewUK]

They are the big ones, not sure how much salyut I will cover but If I have time I will redo them for sure.

@@iljsg3390 It's on the list to remake for the end of this series ;)

[@mikeksp9177]

cool idea

[@Remaggib]

Truly amazing to see this, and all missions, come to life in an entertaining method. Documentaries are great but documentaries mixed with a cartooney, green, top-heavy astronaut being all happy are even better :)

[@GameplayReviewUK]

I forget to seep the engines with RCS when around the mun and I had trouble with the Antennas other than that this mission went really well :)

[@GameplayReviewUK]

We are reaching the end of this series, I guess I should compile the list of missions I missed to see which ones people want to see the most.

[@GameplayReviewUK]

There is over 30 :/

[@mariasirona1622]

Justice served to the awesome mission of Apollo 8, very good quality.

[@GameplayReviewUK]

Thanks, I figured people were less likely to find this one so I added some extra fair use footage for those that did :)

[@Jmaniac-ic7zk]

Great work on the cinematography it was amazing

[@GameplayReviewUK]

Cheers :D

[@KayoMichiels]

Man... that exhaust plume is MASSIVE!!!

[@Cby0530]

Amazing recreation of camera angles!

[@15gamershaven89]

More than 50 years ago today this amazing mission went around the moon and proved that we have an exciting future of space flight merry Christmas to you all on this good Earth

[@T3ki1a_]

How did you do the interstage between first and second? I have huge problem to have a rocket that's is not a saucage to have this kind of separation Also: Wow theise videos are so... The whole serie is a masterpiece! Keep to work and have a nice day!

[@iljsg3390]

Great job! Like

[@kman2747]

Amazing Video!

[@GameplayReviewUK]

Thanks again mate :)

[@miguelhenriques3308]

Impressive, just two things: 1- the 3rd stage has 4 separator thrusters and not 3. You probably watched the misleading separation of the saturn 1B 1st stage separation where there are only three. 2- why don't you use the cone shaped service module (SM-6A) for the nose of the command module?

[@miguelhenriques3308]

I think I what I'm saying is true ... I think...

[@GameplayReviewUK]

Thank you I thought it had four then a video showed it to have two then, like you correctly guessed, I knew the IB had three :) I went to use the cone shaped service module first but it didn't like the way I wanted it staged so I resorted to my older method which I made more actuate than before to make myself feel better ;)

[@miguelhenriques3308]

@@GameplayReviewUK oh ok! Nice! Really like your videos, you have such talent designing probes and satellites... I wished I had similar skills! Oh and that Hayabusa vid... Freaking delicious... Good job!

[@GameplayReviewUK]

Cheers :)

[@aaravp2248]

5:28 please help I'm crying, that fairing!! How!?

[@KerboDrive]

you put the fairing adapter above the docking port facing downwards

[@iljsg3390]

Make about Crew Dragon DM-1.

[@exospaceman8209]

can't wait for moon landing!

[@garguljaskyline9270]

Cool video =)

[@GameplayReviewUK]

Thanks

[@simandi1511]

Will the Apollo 11 Video be dropped on July 20th?

[@GameplayReviewUK]

No it will air tonight :)

[@GameplayReviewUK]

In fact it will be an hour or two

[@KerbalProductions777]

AND GOD SAID: LET THERE BE LIGHT! And there was light! God bless our Holy and God-Bearing fathers of the Apollo 8 crew!

[@pegasusted2504]

Sweet :~)

[@mikeksp9177]

cool video you should do apollo 11 when its 50 years from the landing

[@GameplayReviewUK]

It's uploading ;)

[@mikeksp9177]

cool

[@Erde_midget770]

The Service Module is to long :D

[@GameplayReviewUK]

I know but I really wanted to use the making history service module for this one.

[@Erde_midget770]

Ok :D

[@alanrobbie4851]

I know it's in hindsight, but I would have launched a mun, er I mean "moon" communications satellite in a polar orbit around the mun, er sorry, moon with extra snacks, er supplies on board in case Jim Kerman, jeez, Lovell got hungry... Just saying... Uh-huh! Nice one G-RUK!

[@stahlhelm5755]

Apollo 11 on July 20?

[@GameplayReviewUK]

I will publish it as soon as it's ready :)

[@brokensoap1717]

I was expecting the next one to be about Apollos 4-6 but ok

[@GameplayReviewUK]

I won't have time to feature them before the anniversary of Apollo 11 so I've had to add them to the missing missions list. Did you see Apollo 7?

[@brokensoap1717]

@@GameplayReviewUK Yes I saw that Great job btw

[@3ctjhseolere]

26:28 Apollo 10 or 11?

[@GameplayReviewUK]

I've ran out of time so it's straight to 11.

[@ernstjunger1169]

The mod doesnt work for me

[@GameplayReviewUK]

which one and what version of KSP?

[@ernstjunger1169]

@@GameplayReviewUK well i used 1.6.1 but it says only the apollo 8 file is in it

[@GameplayReviewUK]

You have to go to the file list and download the craft files you'd like individually.

[@colinmerritt7645]

You saved 1968.

[@GameplayReviewUK]

excellent :)

[@fireybfbideas5993]
