Dude... Every video is better than the last. This is honestly one of my favourite channels.

[@Cptn.Viridian]

... So the president builds walls to keep out space bears, yet he doesn't think space exists. Are these just normal bears that also just happen to have the ability to go to space and back? Are they magic or something? Can you harness their power for space? Oh well, an outstanding mission more than pays for my interest for the day.

[@ChasterProductions]

They are bears smart enough to believe in space, so the president wants to keep them out.

[@Cptn.Viridian]

ChasterProductions But they also do live in space as well. In a previous expedition Bills snacks were stolen by space bears.

[@ChasterProductions]

Cptn. Viridian Perhaps they do, but the president doesn't believe in space so perhaps he thinks they come from Kussia. The space bears could be agents of the kraken aswell.

[@Cptn.Viridian]

ChasterProductions I agree. But if he's building a wall then he probably thinks they are from Kexico, not Kussia.

[@ChasterProductions]

Cptn. Viridian oooo good point

[@blessedisdeath]

You are the smallest and one of the best video maker in my opinion. keep doing what you do

[@Cptn.Viridian]

I have an amazing idea for a new mini series for you. Do an Easter egg hunt, exploring all the planets and their Easter eggs, In one or two episodes a planet, and tie it all together with an amazing story line your great at creating. Also, don't forget to visit one or two magic boulders they recently added to KSP.

[@lsswappedcessna]

Wait, where are these MAGIC BOULDERS? Seriously, where are they? There was nothing about any MAGIC BOULDERS in the katch notes.

[@Cptn.Viridian]

The KZbin Phantom Official An update a while back recently destroyed the original magic boulder, so in a recent update they added it back, in a way. Basically asteroids have a 1 in 6 chance of being a magic boulder. These boulders have a similar broken texture like the original, but none of the weird properties of the original. Also they now come in different colors too. Check out Scott Manley's video, "Returning the Magic Boulder to its rightful place" to see more.

"entirely devoid of recreational snacking": Kill me now. Wait, I was expecting you to just jettison the ore. You mean to say opening the doors of the submersible's cargo bay actually enabled ascent? Wouldn't flooding a sealed compartment, replacing gas with fluid, only increase the density and prevent this? Thank you, KSP physics. And thank You for showing an electric propeller ascent from Eve. I was expecting that as an evolution from your previous video. :)

[@jon87386]

b/c KSP physics :P

[@BradleyWhistance]

Science.

[@Andrei-Fedorov-Youtube]

Eve's waters are actually less dense than the atmosphere, but are are held down by their high magnetic attraction to the Kore. The reason the craft didn't sink at first was because of surface tension. I think that covers everything.

[@ArchaicAlibi]

Andrei Federov Wow, the fluid is actually less dense? I've spent very little time at Eve. Good to know!

[@BradleyWhistance]

He was making a joke =)

ThalassoShip! My Greek father once told me of a legend of a man irresistably attracted to the sea -- "Thalassa! Thalassa!" he quoted in a thrilling tone. :) I always think of Tolkein's "Beware the sea, Legolas!" No doubt it was a shout-out to the myth. I have to say I feel a pull when I stand on the sea shore, though not that strong, thankfully! :)

I remember a while back somebody suggesting an Eve sub in the comments of one of these videos, and I said it wasn't possible. Glad to see you've proven me wrong. You're basically the new Abyssal Lurker, you know that?

Snacks sold to pay for the mission? That's dedication! I'm saying this as someone who has just embarked on slimming for the first time in my life.

Hi, you could also check out better time warp! I love your ion engine missions and you can warp through the a long burn in a few minutes!

[@BradleyWhistance]

I've used better time warp in the past, but haven't reinstalled it for the most recent version. I prefer to do burns on normal speed and speed it up in the video editing because it is more accurate. If I have to do really long burns I would reinstall it.

how heavy was the craft upon take off on eve? lightest i could do was just under 6 tons. however that was in 1.1 , they improved the rotation physics for 1.2, i suspect 4/4.5 tons could be done

[@BradleyWhistance]

MrNuclearturkey I'll have to check after work, I feel like it was right around 6... the propeller engine was rather overbuilt, and could almost lift the base as well.

[@xWood4000]

What bearing did you use in the eve ascent vehicle? I'm asking it because there are different designs.

Thank you. I am already looking forward the next episode.

No matter what, I am sure I will be both impressed and amused.

[@Warriorking.1963]

Did you use the NERV engine as a heat shield when going into Eve's atmosphere? How did you mange that? I've been trying to do that same thing, but each time my vehicle explodes. :( Any hints or tips would be an enormous help. Maybe even a rough idea as to the altitude you set your Pe at maybe? Good video!

[@lawrencium3477]

That ship looks really cool

[@samamstar]

How did you avoid the explodification of your parts due to pressure? did you just disable that feature?

[@BradleyWhistance]

if you are referring to the journey to the bottom of the explodium sea, ksp doesn't seem to simulate pressure

[@samamstar]

Check the difficulty options. It's there

[@BradleyWhistance]

Nothing was changed in difficulty settings, and it never presented an issue during the mission or testing.
