The Odyssey by Bill, Book 36: Eve Aircraft Carrier Part 1: Transit to Eve and testing

[@santiagovidal4497]

This is one of the coolest ships I've ever seen on ksp... but... how has your pc not amalgamated into a new state of matter? I would not be surprised if it kept running once you unplugged it, given it has probably achieved self-sustaining fusion.

Do you remember when landing and taking off from Eve used to be considered hard?

[@andropar3353]

he uses cheats i thought this was obvious

[@burntpancake7132]

No

[@xandersfs2346]

He is not using cheats, that is the reason why his channel is impressive, I have even tested his designs with weights and the Delta V checks out

[@AbsoluteHuman]

It is without the electric fans (and clipping parts)

[@panickal]

do you remember when getting into kerbin orbit was hard?

[@vladimir8891]

Can I just say the carrier looks awesome? It looks almost like a futuristic version of a STOVL or STOBAR carrier, like the Admiral Kuznetsov

[@ryanrising2237]

I like how the Mach effects are applied to every part in range, no matter that part’s speed. Means those flybys of the carrier with (explodium?) vapour cones gives the entire carrier vapour cones too

My only question, how in KRAKENS NAME did u refuel that carrier in lko? Did u use stratzenblitz's mega ssto?

I would guess hand-waving cheats, but I have no judgement. That would just be drudgery to refill manually.

I really appreciate your choice of artists for the soundtrack. As much as I love listening to the most popular ones, I've never heard of any of these classical performers so far. I hope to check them out as soon as I can figure out how to classify the carrier as a trebuchet.

Hats off to you, sir. I can't imagine the noise of a 35 kiloton rocket getting into space; everyone would have to wear earplugs for miles aroy!

[@anonymous-rb2sr]

you should get RCS buil aid too I see it's missing from your mod list you can attach small engines to "artificial" engines like bladed ones to get a vector in the editor, it shows you not only the precise CoM, but also the different CoMs when full or empty on fuel, as well as the precise vectors of all engines of a stage/all RCS ports in a direction and gives you the torque in newtowns, allowing you to get precise allignement down to 0 newtowns of torque on asymetrical crafts

[@Mr_Vosakisen]

Us: "Are you coming back?" Bradly whistance: "No, I dont think I will"

[@Khitiara_]

I think that door thing under the carrier qualifies as a moonpool if not a drydock

[@Impoigness]

A very reasonable sized launch and landing.

You could add a launchpad to the carrier for rocket-style SSTOs and helicopters.

[@elongated_musket6353]

Imagine being an alien and seeing an entire aircraft carrier breakthrough the clouds and land onto the water. And imagine being a spectator at NASA's launch pads and seeing an entire aircraft carrier strapped haphazardly with rocket engines.

[@eekee6034]

"Bill has come to the view that they are going to need a bigger boat." Nice! LOL A Noah's ark reference! Made my day, that has. :D "Waiting for a flood was deemed unwise" brought to mind some vastly more obscure stories by an old friend. He wrote of two planets very slowly spiraling in to each other, the one habitable, the other becoming so as atmosphere, water, and life slowly transfer over many thousands of years. (The stories alone span 10,000 years.) At times, the ocean connecting the planets, called the _Horiathon,_ is navigable. Augh! 100 Mammoths! :D Epic video, loved the humor, nice-looking carrier!

[@ElectroBlade-jm3jl]

its been a year brad, please come back

[@larrythegasmaskman4362]

wakey wakey its time to wake up

[@anonymous-rb2sr]

is the tiny plane at the end also an Eve SSTO? I wonder how small we can make Eve SSTOs now with the ducted fan blades, you should only need enough rocket fuel to accelerate to orbital speed which isn't that much, so you probably could get away with rather small SSTOs

[@evanraynor1657]

Hello Mr Whistance, I was wondering about a different type of mission you could do that I've always thought of watching your hyper efficient vessel videos. Could you do a mission in which you attempt to get to and from distant planets in as little Kerbal time as possible? Like instead of your normal 12 gravity assist 240 year 10 part missions to the outer solar system, could you design a massive delta-v overkill vessel to get to eeloo in like 5 years? Love your channel just a thought I had. ❤️

[@Mrlimabean01]

i use tac life support and this would be of great use to players like me

[@fictionalarachnid7197]

I like this idea. What's the minimum in-game time for a mission from Kerbin to Eeloo? It could be like the Island express thing, but with cool gravity assists etc.

[@eekee6034]

Yes! I've always wanted to see OP ships on direct trajectories. (I still do even now I know a Kerbin year is 0.29 Earth years.) I've only got one of Hazard-ish's videos to go on, and he favours style over accurate gameplay. All the same, the rocket looked big enough; huge thing with loads of stages carrying a very heavy submarine to Laythe. The time indicator showed just 2 years on arrival at Laythe; can you do it in that time? I've forgotten, and I can't run KSP & KZbin at the same time. Anyway, remember Eeloo's perihelion is inside Jool orbit, but you'd need extra dV to capture in that case.

I suppose the two options would be to either bring a refueling vehicle or to add a grabber arm somewhere. Or both. I'm leaning towards the vehicle for flexibility.
