Space Race KSP - Ranger Program - Making History

[@GameplayReviewUK]

Thank you for watching and ignoring the typos :)

[@spaceguy9025]

It’s all good

[@kspencerian]

Rangers were a hot mess but they were critical in mastering orbital launch mechanics needed for Apollo. Great video!

[@GameplayReviewUK]

Thanks, just like Ranger, I was worried this video would also be a mess at the rate I made it but it all came together in the end :)

[@GameplayReviewUK]

If anyone was wondering this one took over 40 man hours :)

[@spaceguy9025]

What about woman hours? ;)

[@dwldjon]

Have you thought about looking at simple rockets 2 sometime?

[@whirledpeas3477]

But how many in dog hours?😁

[@HuGo-vk4wl]

@@dwldjon wtf

[@GameplayReviewUK]

Take the Ranger Block 2 decent with a pinch of salt. I ran out of time to do it in detail so chose a safer option.... for now :)

[@Warriorking.1963]

A class act as usual! I'm simply blown away with how you manage to put these things together using only stock parts, it really is amazing how you see the potential of what KSP gives you in the VAB has and how you can adapt the various bits and pieces to build these truly fantastic spacecraft. Bravo for this one and looking forward to the next episode. Now time to get back to my own KSP where I'm trying to get the "Flea" to fly properly! :O)

[@GameplayReviewUK]

And class comments thanks to people like you :)

[@DeaFenZiV]

These videos get better and better with every one.

[@GameplayReviewUK]

Thanks, I am dedicating more time to each video than ever before. Good to know it's worth it.

[@xavier1964]

Amazing!! I love this series so much.

[@GameplayReviewUK]

Thanks :)

[@seansargeant7966]

I like the Ranger Block II panels. It looked like a actual stock one! At a guess, the launch vehicle is a Tskylon. However, Zenit is just maybe a possibility. But, what probes are on there?...

[@Mechagears]

This amazing the quality and effort that goes into this is absolutely amazing keep up the great work

[@GameplayReviewUK]

Thanks :D

[@magi_wings4129]

Nice one! Can't wait for the next upload!

Ha, yea

When the real space programme was like me playing Kerbal Space Program (fail, fail, fail, miss, fail, fail, success) :-D

45 years before my birth day exactly for the 1st launch

[@cauavitor5108]

Wow, your videos are very well made, new sub 😁

[@GameplayReviewUK]

Thanks for saying so :D

Excellent job! As a child of the Space Age, it is great to see the baby steps being remembered in such detail. With all these flat-earther and we didn't land on the moon types walking around, I thought for sure society would be heading back into the caves scared of the dark. But it looks like there is hope.

[@GameplayReviewUK]

I feel privileged to be born at a time where a) I can retrospectively see the whole process of my favorite events in history :) b) still be excited about future missions into space.

[@sski]

@@GameplayReviewUK Yes! And the future looks very bright in that respect.

[@adi-r1d]

Very cool video :)

[@GameplayReviewUK]

Thanks

[@sierrafox1779]

Ooops... I’m late but still an exellent video ! 👍

[@nicolasflamel2027]

After the Apollo-Soyuz you should just continue a bit less fast, but chronologically correct. Thats what I would like most.

[@GameplayReviewUK]

I may do this, it's depends on how long it takes me to get there. For example I want to do the 2020 rover before it get to Mars and I won't be doing every mission ever before then.

[@nicolasflamel2027]

@@GameplayReviewUK - I mean that I would like it if you continued this series, of course you can do other things.

[@GameplayReviewUK]

Basically I will continue it but I want to end up at a point where I no longer feel they need to be released chronologically either way they will be setup in a playlist so they can be watched in order like my original Pure stock Replicas series. It makes the videos easier to make when you are not taking into consideration the next video in the series you have yet to start but I will do this when I can as I think it's been more enlightening for the viewers.

[@GameplayReviewUK]

So ironically It may end up faster but less chronologically accurate.

[@GameplayReviewUK]

But there will only be one mission per video at that stage so it won't seem so fast.

[@S1baar]

Love that music.

[@mxtrixd]

Wow! It's amazing)

[@leenoxx5328]

"Landed" XD They make the first manmade craters on the moon XD

[@GameplayReviewUK]

Don't forget Luna 2 ;)

[@GameplayReviewUK]

Also I wasn't sure to say landed or crashed or what each time :) I figured if it planed to crash somewhere is was a landing but if it crashed by accident is was a crash or something? :D

[@whateverman178]

1:57 another satellite on orbit good work

[@ictop94]

What is the name of the mod that realistic flame effect we see when the rocket out of atmosphere? It being visible at 1:30

[@GameplayReviewUK]

Real Plume ;)

[@ictop94]

@@GameplayReviewUK Thanks so much!

[@elopeous3285]

I have been making pure stock rangers since I started ksp bro. They just have kerbals in them most of the time and no control.

[@thepanamguy431]

＂Landed＂　More like crashed

[@GameplayReviewUK]

Yes, I say landed if it meant to crash the way it did I guess :D

[@thepanamguy431]

@@GameplayReviewUK Thanks for the reply! Btw subscribe to my channel! (I'm a sixth grader interested in space)

[@maciek1831]

damn, this Ranger program was a hell of unsuccesful boiii

[@GameplayReviewUK]

Got there in the end :)

[@exospaceman8209]

Sorry I am late But Nice Video! :D

[@GameplayReviewUK]

Glad you liked it :D

[@radomilhorna4945]

We chose to go to the moon Soviets: heh joke joke Americans never land on moon Kennedy: take this ... Soviets: oh no they are making manmade craters

[@radomilhorna4945]

To make landing sites more harder to be landable for soviets

[@Dev36o]

I’m wondering what’s next

[@filip1097]

Wow

[@LunaIsOnYoutube]

New video , again !

[@nsteen1711]

Why is the first stage only a small part at the engines?

[@GameplayReviewUK]

The fuel is shared with the main engine. They weren't sure if they could start an engine in space when they created it. I think specific impulse also has a role to play in it.

[@thomaswijgerse723]

to add, the center engine was the most efficient, but it was not powerful enough to lift the rocket at launch, so they added 2 booster engines to it to help in getting of the ground, when the rocket got light enough due to burning its fuel it would drop the booster engines and continue on its efficient engine.

[@S1baar]

this was so well produced. well done! which speech by jfk was that?

[@GameplayReviewUK]

It is part of the we chose to go the moon speech.

[@dasthewashinpowder9709]

When is Gemini going to be available

[@GameplayReviewUK]

Well it's half done :)

[@dasthewashinpowder9709]

Oooh

[@jmh306]

GameplayReviewUK who is your favorite astronaut

[@GameplayReviewUK]

That's a tricky one, I have lots. But you could say that Alan Shepard is probably my favorite.

[@ламинат09]

Next time is R-16?

[@GameplayReviewUK]

Next time is Cuban Missile Crisis ;)

[@thedarkzibba7059]

That means we are gonna see U-2?

[@GameplayReviewUK]

I love the U-2 but it's going to feature ICBMs

[@wooo_gaming8719]

How'd u do da panels

[@GameplayReviewUK]

These ones were easy. They are just the fold out panels in pairs.

[@wooo_gaming8719]

Cool

[@garguljaskyline9270]

Hi, you have very cool videos, but please add subtitles to attract a larger audience and so that people like me Russians can enjoy your beautiful videos too

[@GameplayReviewUK]

We have been discussing this... For me the tricky part is also including all of the historical dialog accurately for the hard of hearing too. Historically the main focus for me was to make videos with no need for any text or langue so everyone can understand them at the same level. However the extra info I've added seems to be rather popular. I would actually prefer to make videos with no text and then add it later in KZbin so expect it at some point :)

[@spaceguy9025]

Good advice!

[@timoshki8528]

What Is The rocket At the End, It's Either Soviet or American

[@GameplayReviewUK]

The second last one is still American, the very last one is Russian.
