THE DUNA DEVOURER - An Over The Top Opportunity Rover Tribute

It was April 17th 2015 when I send a massive Duna Rover into space. I thought I'd revisit the idea to honor the passing of NASA's Opportunity rover that is now stranded on Mars.

There is nothing cooler than rovers with actual functional interiors. Amazing work.

[@MehNamesKing]

There is no such thing as an over the top tribute to Opportunity. It deserves the most elaborate trivutes we can muster!!

[@quaternarytetrad4039]

Over-engineered? That's KSP veterans in a nutshell

This is by far the most innovative and comprehensive KSP mission I have ever seen on KZbin. This is an entire functioning ecosystem to study the planet, rotate crew, refuel, and return to kerbin. It is All REUSABLE. I am absolutely amazed. Such an inspiration.

[@ShadowZone]

Thanks! If you like this, you should check out my Jool colonization mission: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hHTEfXh5rNKrhaM

[@francescobossa6233]

I am astonished by your ability to make such complexes things. Seriously, i find all that awesome and also beautiful to see.

[@koryfredrick1164]

It‘s huge, it‘s ridiculous, it‘s unnecissarily complicated. That‘s why I love it.

[@johnnyjohn8428]

You should make a tour video of your save file, visiting all the vessels you've made

[@firnen_]

I think you can set the reaction wheels to "SAS only" to stop your rover from flipping every time you try to turn.

[@munzlp]

I remember the X surprise xD

[@reddlesm7394]

That shovel tug is amazing

[@mattice5685]

this ain't your classic tribute but for ksp it is normal

[@tinzalix8624]

Its nice to see a ksp youtuber pay tribute to Oppy.

[@eekee6034]

That second reentry looked exactly like my first visit to Duna. :) Woo! Go li'l rover! XD You know, I think this is still the most complete single launch research/colony system I've ever seen. Mining, a space station, communications, a roving base, in-system and surface-orbit shuttles for fuel and passengers, and an interplanetary shuttle to go to and from Kerbin. Nothing is forgotten, and it's all practical. LOL that landing! SpaceX this is not... yet! XD

[@agsystems8220]

Given that opportunity landed with airbags and then rolled some distance before stopping on it's side, your landing was strangely fitting.

[@falconheavy809]

When I watched you for the first time I was like got to subscribe. Now I can not stop watching. Keep up the good work.

I love the idea for the refinery I think I may start doing it too

[@kinglouie8837]

That interior is really nice. I also like to include an inerior wherever i could, just to be alble to roleplay a bit.

[@FrikInCasualMode]

All of this docking port acrobatics could be avoided, if SQUAD finally gave us fuel hoses. Maybe with Breaking Ground? One can always dream... :)

[@Brendan9300]

Very well made

[@YF-23]

Great Video and great Video. I like your Channel!

[@yetanother9127]

Using the airbrake as a car door is not something I would have thought of. You have an inventor's mind.

[@Cenourafnord]

Suas obras são inspiradoras, gostei de todo o projeto. Além de tudo, você também comete erros, como nós mortais. Abraços e grato por mais esse ótimo vídeo.

[@Danbearpig]

Tron was released a month and a half before I was born, and is severely underrated!

[@jcataclisma]

Mr. Shadow! It´s been just a year that I´ve found your channel and watched your videos, but I´m pretty sure this was the most complex (and MUCH COOLER!) of the KSP´s ones! Really, really cool! Many great ideas - by the way, the suicide-doors and that "spoon-coupler" stuff... hohoho!! \o/ ... p.s.: you know that Tron had a sequence ("Tron: Legacy") a few years ago, right? Not "so" old... Yeah, still with those freak, useless rectangular stuff similar to your Duna landers.... :-D

[@calistohuettich]

I love the interior.

[@damaan1243]

In Opportunity's name, nothing is over the top.

[@ITER345]

Target landing pad docking port, select radial out, then slowly land on it using the lateral rcs thrusters to keep over it.

[@WesleyG8857]

Why am i just now finding you, and why do you not have more subscribers?!?

[@jaycweingardt11]

a vison of the future opportunity helped us create

[@lfaf9509]

I use the Kerbal attachment system and Kerbal inventory system mods, which makes things quiet different. I Just have to try to land close enough to attach a pipe from one module to the next. It helps in refueling operations not to have to spend so long trying to get stuff connected to one another. Those the ideas used in this video were awesome to say the least.

[@lfaf9509]

also, the whole functional interiors thing you did here, had my jaw on the floor! that was so cool, ill be spending the next month of my life trying to come up with something like that on my own lol.

[@Warriorking.1963]

Absolutely incredible, amazing and fantastic! But why did you make it so small? I found it hard to see that rover... 😁

If you're going to make a giant space-buttplug, you need to give it a flared base so you don't lose it down a black hole.

Hello Shadowzone, can I ask when your USSR serie and the Invictus project will be released? I don't want to put any pressure, but I'm very curious!

[@ShadowZone]

The Soviet series's status: All vehicles necessary are built. The scripts for 2 of the 9 episodes are finished. I want to film all in one go, as soon as the writing is done. Invictus is parked Jool's orbit, but I'm thinking of redoing it from scratch because I'm unhappy with a few things. Also, the music is not really coming along as quickly as I'd like. So, Russian series in a few weeks, Invictus... can't say, really. I also wanted to do the frame by frame recreation of 2001:Space Odyssey ... So much to do, so little time...

[@julienhalleux8659]

Thank you very much for the answers Wish you the best, you're my n°1 source of inspiration for creating spacecraft in this game. Whatever amount of time those series will take, it'll be totaly worth it! Thank you for your time and dedication.

Did you forget to change trajectories from retrograde to prograde calculation?

[@DudleyDoRightsRipsawFallsFan]

8:23 its a new DUNA

[@lipo8426]

Trajectories mod assumes you come in pointing retrograde and calculates the trajectory accordingly. But as you came in pointing prograde, it didn't work.
