The First British Satellite! - For All Kerbalkind #1

[@px1_]

I absolutely love the idea of the ESA competing with NASA and the CCCP, shame that Europe was mainly sidelined in the real world.

[@piplupsingularity]

Imagine what you could do with less budget limitations

[@hunterwolf8539]

kinda had a war we needed to clean up so couldnt really focus on the space race xD

[@hunterwolf8539]

@Tumble _ Meme idk I think if the rest of Europe ever star taking space as seriously as the UK wants to we would get more involved with them but as long as ESA is taking a laid back “support america aproach” rather than a “let’s propel europe to space” aproach the UK will keep its distance

[@CSBAHH]

PS1 they technically went to Saturn before they even got to the moon and they soon will be visiting mars

[@petersmythe6462]

Not so much the side line as it was the front line...

[@user_25th9p7]

this gives me so many kerbal gets real vibes, its amazing

[@Carnasa]

ngl, that is kinda what I wanted to go for, with a little bit more of the experience I've gained over the years added on top :P

[@o.m.b.demolitionenterprise5398]

A few weeks ago at the FAST museum at farnborough, i saw the first stage from the first (and only) successful orbital launch of black arrow, it was recovered from the australian desert in quite good condition. The nozzles are crushed a little but the turbo pumps are still in perfect shape!

[@Carnasa]

Oooh, I might have to go check that out at some point! Its a bit of a journey for me, but definitely worth it to check that out :D

[@polishkerbal6920]

Woah is OMB

[@iplaygames8090]

8:11 im just imagining the engineers carying it up the stairs to launch it from the workshop they made it in.

[@jonsouth1545]

IRL the DH108 was a deathtrap with all 3 of them being lost in fatal crashes while the third De Haviland was Peter and their Cousin Olivier was a multiple Oscar-winning actress who died in 2020 at the age of 104 and is probably most famous for her role in Gone With the Wind

[@Carnasa]

Oooh I didn't know that about the cousin! But yeah the DH108 was really quite dangerous, I read up about two crashes, but didn't know there was a third!

[@WouldDieForChomusuke]

18:21 That looks like an animation, it's amazing. I don't know if camerawork is the right term but whatever it was you did it amazingly

[@N9GamingOfficial]

WELCOME TO FAK WOOOO :D

[@betadev4264]

Oh fak

[@mrsquishy1561]

Land on the moon before Beardy and N9, and do it upside down.

[@Destroyer_V0]

Land on the moon with a probe? Possible. Land on the moon with a kerbonaut? Unlikely.

[@YMandarin]

finally... I have been waiting for this since beardy mentioned it a long time ago

[@davros_adl8155]

this cant be the british space program, you made it to orbit without ending the whole program!

[@Carnasa]

I know right? Madness carrying on now! :P

[@jef_3006]

Is that an EE Lightnight with a Gamma 4 powered rocket on it's wing? Words cannot describe how cool this is.

[@Carnasa]

That absolutely is an EE Lightning with a Gamma 4 rocket on its wing :P I've been playing around with making the Lightning an X-Plane and this was one method of doing that haha

[@plasmaburndeath]

Comrade, welcome to our glorious victory, the soviet union welcomes you, and we have given you gift of your own set of Spies, I mean my secondary team will be "watching" your team like we do with N9. We only play practical jokes now and then, so no worries about any sudden onset window cancer.

[@beagle_uah]

Commonwealth can into space!

[@Carnasa]

Indeed they can! :D

[@txrwauy]

This is an excellent addition to "for all kerbalkind". I can recommend you to read "The Ministry of Space" comic if you want to see a UK space program in an alternate history.

[@Carnasa]

Thank you! And sure, thanks for the recommendation, I'll check it out :)

[@AzureImperium7701X]

Every rocket you launched had a K in it. The plane was the only thing without a K. The British space agency had good names for their rockets

[@Carnasa]

I didn't even notice that, won't have to go down the N9 route and put K's everywhere they shouldn't be by the looks of things :P

[@Orlunu]

Very nice. Really wish some mods gave the British HTP engines some love - being able to specify which combustion chambers and how many would really open up the options for a whole family of rockets in that style and design ancestry. If only I were remotely capable of engine modding myself, lol.

[@petersmythe6462]

"break the speed of sound and try to launch the skylark strapped onto the vehicle" FINALLY SOMEONE ELSE WHO OPENS WITH AIRLAUNCHED SOUNDING ROCKETS AND THE SOUND BARRIER LET'S GOOO! (though to be fair I usually do it in 1951 and try to get 200 km altitude.... not 20).

[@antoniolozic1517]

How long does it take you to load the game? With my slow 8gb ram and 80+ mods (~50,000 patches) it takes 20-30min to load

[@Carnasa]

hmmm around 8-15 minutes, I'm not entirely sure an exact time but its not terrible, but not the best either!

[@bjornseine2342]

Heck yeah! Very happy to see you join in, good fortune on your launches (and if there are failures, may they be spectacular, to please the viewers)

[@cosmicrolias3828]

Subscribed! Can't wait to see the rest of the series! Show them what ESA can do!

[@Carnasa]

Hey thank you! May be out of the running for the Moon now, but there's certainly a lot of other bodies in the Solar System ;P

[@kommandantgalileo]

ah, the Swallow, a beauty, but also a fucking death trap

[@paulsidhuUK]

Now the ultimate KSP series. Can't wait to see ESA pan out

[@Carnasa]

Probably won't be for another couple of episodes that the ESA really starts to show, probably have some Europa Launches from Woomera soon enough though! But yeah really looking forward to some of the ESA designs, got quite a few things planned!

[@mickdriver3942]

Geoffrey is pronounced the same as Jeffrey...Great vid though.

[@Carnasa]

Haha oops, uh yeah I'll be amending that in the next video! :P and cheers :D

[@mikhailiagacesa3406]

Thanks. I needed this today. and good luck!

[@Carnasa]

Thank you, and no worries! :D

[@aronaskengren5608]

will you be using the future rocket sites of the EU later down the line? such as Esrange in Sweden or the Guiana space center? both were built in the late sixties.

[@Carnasa]

I'll definitely be using Kourou in Guiana, not too sure about any others yet though!

[@Surtwo]

Excited to see you joining in the race. I'm curious, do you have any plans to launch from French Guiana as time goes on, or are you just going to stick to Woomera?

[@Carnasa]

Absolutely! Its going to actually end up being my main launch site, just need to get some funds to get it rolling :)

[@Andstronaut]

I don't have the sanity to upgrade my RP-1 save to be like this one XD

[@Trinitycore0720]

I wonder if Europe is going to go to the moon and if it we’re going to full For All Mankind territory maybe ESA and NASA should cooperate if a lunar base ever happens

[@Carnasa]

I definitely do want to pay the Moon some attention, but for the most part I think I'll leave the Soviets and the US fight over it and maybe focus on more interplanetary missions, not completely decided the direction I'll go in yet, will see further down the line!

[@Trinitycore0720]

This is on version 1.10.1, but the most recent up to date RP-1 modpack (basically what we're playing) is out on 1.12.3, we just can't update because it would break the saves :(

[@bluestorm3628]

It’s great to see you have finally arrived Carnasa, we all wish you and your agency luck and great success in the future!

[@Carnasa]

Thank you! Really glad to be finally involved now, cant wait for what the future brings in the series :D

[@petersmythe6462]

I didn't initially understand what you were saying about the 350 starting science and I was like "whoa whoa whoa how did you just spawn a jet by mid-late February that usually takes until April!"

[@No-pf8vu]

Now that ESA has been formed, will you still be launching from Woomera, or from French Guinea?

[@Carnasa]

I'll still be launching from Woomera for a while yet, but I am going to build up Kourou too, with the hopes of launching Ariane I from there (or Europa III if I go down that naming convention) Europa first launches will come from Woomera though, as that's where most of them were launched irl, except for the last one iirc!

[@vibecu]

LEST GO! THE VIDEO But 6 hrs uh

Land "lent" to the space program by the "Australian government"

[@Carnasa]

The secret is _they never had a choice_. I guess dropping spent stages on emus might help out with the local wars at least.

[@moekitsune]

Did you launch a rocket from a roof!?

[@arnaudbouret5562]

It's going to take a while to get to properly competing - lots, lots and lots of catchup to do. I'm wondering whether you'll stick early on with ESA's historical focus on uncrewed, scientific missions and Ariane's commercial mission capabilities (not sure how viable that will be to try and get into the Mars race). I will also admit to hoping we'll get to hear you voicing the traditional "A tous de DDO, attention pour le décompte final" when you first launch from Kourou ;) Bonne chance !

[@Carnasa]

It will yeah, the boost will help a lot, but its still going to take some time, I think I will be focusing more on uncrewed missions, definitely more interested in uncrewed interplanetary exploration than sending crew to the Moon I think, but I'll have to see if my budgets allow that :P And you really wouldn't want to hear my french voice, in that I don't have one at all, but I do have a native French speaker who has said they'd be happy to do it for me!

We may have just sent off the queen, but this is still good stuff

[@ptilrem]

ESA should be the first company to land a probe on Europa.

[@Carnasa]

would definitely like to do that in this series! :D

[@Tmccreight25Gaming]

I wonder if we'll eventually get other youtubers joining as JAXA, ISRO and possibly the CNSA. would be pretty cool.

[@toddb9313]

Still better than what the British actually did at Woomera.

hmmm, looks like the first place I checked was a little bit iffy, by the looks of things they all were? except the first was still deemed successful because reasons. Afaik now though, there was definitely no full success of Europa, which is why Ariane then went ahead. I'll have to actually look into it a bit more :P
