Fly Me Through The Mun - Challenge

Attempting to fly through the Arch on the moon as quickly as possible, decided to go with orbital approach instead of other options.

[@alexsiemers7898]

Don't think that's possible with the Mun due to being tidally locked.

The problem is a 1 munar day orbit moves beyond the mun's SOI.

[@adammullarkey4996]

When I saw the title, I thought you were going to be trying to go insanely fast (ie light speed fast) so that you could literally fly through the entire Mun without it registering the collision. I am now officially disappointed.

Ikr so disappointed

"I would trust Scott with my life in a spacecraft" *proceeds to tip over under the arch and crash*

[@tavikohn641]

Fun fact, all x86 and x86-64 (desktop) processors start in 16 bit mode when they are first powered on. Modern bootloaders then switch to 32 bit mode (and then 64 bit mode for 64 bit operating systems) before actually loading the OS. This is why you can still run MS-DOS (which runs in 16-bit mode) on modern desktop computers.

[@scottmanley]

Actually, it's not required to start in Real Mode any more, and many platforms immediately mode select to Flat Protected Mode, making it impossible to run MS-DOS on those systems.

[@d2factotum]

Specifically, the modern UEFI BIOS does not require the boot loader code to be run in real mode, like the old PC BIOS does, so those will probably switch to protected mode as almost the first thing they do.

[@drako3659]

[@slaeshjag]

It's kinda difficult not to install using uefi these days. 4½ years ago I booted my installer media in legacy mode, I still got an UEFI bootloader without telling it to :p

I wonder if kerbals sneeze in their spacesuits 🤔

[@pietrocelano23]

[@flamexthecat5379]

I've heard that astronauts have a piece of velcro in their helmet for scratching their nose to avoid irritation, and thus stopping any development of a sneeze, although i'm not sure.

[@raven.8073]

I wonder if Kerbals even have those body functions... do Kerbals Burp? can they smell things? so many questions...

[@mortarpestle.4267]

+Budget Seagull (The Affordable Carry) They can probably smell at least, lest they wouldn't be attracted to the repugnance of the Mystery GooTM

[@samsonguy10k]

There's a movie from the 80's, low budget, of alien humanoids who visit Earth, leaving one guy up in orbit. He is just dilly-dallying in his suit outside of the ship, and then just lets out a sneeze, blowing snot and spit over his faceplate. It was funny, and for some reason I remembered it the next day in class where I started to giggle. The rest of the class began to giggle as well, not even knowing what started it. Good times.

[@TheMathMog93]

That laugh at 6:06 haha! Sounded like a demonic being burning up in sunlight! :D

[@samsonguy10k]

Infectious, too

[@Cnupoc]

Typical KSP players be like: "Sends a capsule to the Mun with the idea to plant a flag there. Flies the capsule to the surface of the Mun. Remembers he forgot to put kerbonaut in the capsule." Challenge accepted tho :D time to fly a spacecraft through that arch.

[@lukediggle9882]

I thought he was going to fly at the mun so fast that he would go through the mun in the timeframe of a single physics time step.

What I want to see is the fastest possible UNPOWERED fly-through. Fall from Eeloo at its apoapsis, intercept Kerbin, intercept the Mun, and fly through the arch.

I have no idea why but I had a dream last night where Scott was doing a livestream and got a contract to destroy orbiting munar spacecraft debris so he made a ship with middles made out of the tiny srb and a nose cone filled with explosives and rendezvous with the reprise blew it up and returned to kerbin. Then I saw Laura in the background and she sayer helo kyle back then I was in the room.

[@gaalidas4836]

I'm pretty sure you've done this before... And, while I might be exaggerating it in my mind, I thought you did it without using the map or external views... Which secured you in KSP godhood for the next eternity at least. Now... If you could just secure your periapsis in that arch, you could adjust your apoapsis to modify how fast the needle is threaded. I also have a feeling, with enough infernal magic (aka math) you could launch directly into the needle hole without extra maneuvering.

[@miserychickadee]

IMO, it's all felt too easy ever since he returned from the Mun with just an EVA jetpack.

[@DJScaleModels]

Hey Scott, I love your vids. In terms of flight sims, have you ever played IL-2 Stumovik ?

[@MultiMikim]

That landing under the arch, not long after saying "HOW HARD CAN IT BE?!"

[@emf321]

U need the NavHud mod. Once u've used it u can never go back.

[@randallhunt9170]

I think what you liked better about Rogue One is it actually contributed to the known storyline of the other movies...

[@adammullarkey4996]

5:55 I believe the phrase is "you will not go to space today." I mean, you're already in space- well, on the Mun, which is in sp-wait, does that mean we all live in space?

[@iviecarp]

2:28 That's not what the Dunning-Kruger effect is, that's just underestimating the difficulty of tasks. The Dunning-Kruger effect is when you _think_ you're really intelligent or competent, but you're actually not at all and are incapable of realizing that. The corollary is when people who _are_ "intelligent" or competent either underestimate the difficulty of tasks because they themselves find them easy or underestimate their own ability because of their awareness of how difficult a task may be. Thus, underestimating the difficulty of a task alone isn't the actual effect. Point is, it's neither a technical statement of whether one has the _capability_ to realize one's own incompetence (that's just a side-effect) nor is it about underestimating the difficulty of tasks (another side-effect). It's specifically when someone of low competence is under the illusion that they have high competence in a task or are in general very competent. In other words, you're not under Dunning-Kruger if you think going to the Moon is easy, but you _are_ if you think _you_ could do it better than those who have done it, whilst simultaneously having no actual competence in it yourself.

[@darvo110]

After having scatterer installed for so long the stock atmo at the start of the video looks so bizarre to me now.

[@ifabforfun]

I like how he says he regrets not having a Kerbal to get a waypoint as near as possible to the center of the arch... but then settles on some debris 200+ m away and several Scaramuccis lower, altitudinally.

[@miserychickadee]

What are you, George Lucas? Everybody knows that Scaramuccis are a unit of time, not distance.

[@trulyinfamous]

I've played ksp for quite a while, and still I have no idea how do a rendezvous with a ship.

[@clvnmdr453]

Truly Infamous I use the mod Astrogator to plot my rendezvous. It'll place a waypoint with burn times automatically for you.

[@Stand_By_For_Mind_Control]

Yeah I'm at the point where I can easily eyeball trips to minmus & back home, but rendezvousing is still a fine art I'm yet to pick up. I gotta get on that though because it's where my latest batch of missions wants me to go.

[@AxelKuno]

it may sound complicated but once you get the general Idea it´s one of the easiest things, open your map set the object as target (click on it) let´s say your object is at a nice 100km orbit if it´s ahead of you you set your orbit lower maybe 90km and catch up to it (and a higher orbit if it´s behind you) now, when you are along side it but still with the 10 km apart you see your velocity it should say target but maybe it says orbit just above, click on it untill it says target, now your prograde marker on the nav ball isn't telling you where you are going, but in which direction you are traveling relative to the target so you just make sure your prograde is point at the target with about 30m/s, too fast and you can´t stop in time also too much speed makes it harder to correct which you´ll have to, the prograde will go slightly off target and when it gets too far you correct and repeat untill you get there and then rcs to dock. this is not the most effecient but definately the easiest. watch scott video though it teaches you everything.

[@Qardo]

Out all of this video. He forgot the thread...

[@masonmyre1725]

Great video! I don't know how you do it, but keep up this great content!

[@KuraIthys]

Ah, the snes. I got a super famicom last year (my original snes was stolen a long time ago). mainly because the games are so much cheaper than western versions. Also there are more games. (1455 vs ~ 750 in the US and just 350 or so in PAL territories.) Chrono trigger is great, but my favourite RPG from the snes is Terranigma. Best graphics on the snes probably goes to seiken Densetsu 3. And Tales of phantasia really does crazy things with sound. (also some interesting visual effects). Both without any hardware add-ons too. Ah, the snes. Such a great machine.

[@TheSurvivalSecrets]

If I were to open the window of the ISS and throw out an egg, how much delta-V can I give the egg; soley by the act of throwing?

[@mic7337]

You'll probably end up with quite a kick, because all the air would go out the window and cause much more acceleration than the egg.

[@verdiss7487]

You are literally asking how fast you can throw an egg. Probably a few tens of meters per second. As noted above, however, "opening" (read: destroying) a window on the ISS would cause the atmosphere to escape, and that would likely also accelerate the egg along with it.

[@andujunior4756]

You wouldnt get a kick as mic stated. You would get ripped out through that window even if you didnt fit and then most likley freeze to death if it is currently dark for you. If it isnt dark yiu might not freeze but boil. Im not entirely sure. If someone can please do correct me on this.

[@TheSurvivalSecrets]

In this instance I'm assuming the ISS has been depressurised and is in equilibrium with space for simplicity; therefore I accept the former answer of a few tens of meters per second. I know baseball players can thow the ball up to 40 m/s or so, but in space I assume with the lack of gravity it would be more difficult to get a good swing.

[@thaddeusmccaustland8023]

Right about 22 m/s if you really chucked it. But that's only if you use the airlock and not the window :D

[@Juhujalp]

Dale Gentile if you pick sandbox mode the tutorials out there should be more than enough to get you started. I am not sure but i believe scott has made a tutorial series on the carrer mode as well. If there is one it should be good enough too. It's more about learning orbital dynamics than it is about what part to choose. Anyways, fly save and welcome to the ksp masterrace ;)

[@samsonguy10k]

If you've played KSP for at least two months and have not flown Nap of the World* at least once, you haven't actually been playing. If you fix your orbit just right, it's actually rather stress-relieving to sit through. Get into a nice NotW orbit, start some nice music, and sit back and relax with a good beer. *: Extreme low altitude flight, usually done to avoid radar.
