Salyut | For All Kerbalkind

[@N9GamingOfficial]

The Earth in the background during the speech was a nice touch! Man I picked a good landing spot huh? ;)

[@SeabeeMusic]

hm. its very exciting thinking about the potential future this series has in store. Are you going to follow the show For All Mankind and go all the way to mars, or are you going to find a different destination/stopping point?

[@Tyrannosaurusstudios]

if Rodina 4 did not explode you wood of lost the moon however trinity 2 lined up with Rodina 5 and in this alternate time line well you of destroyed it???

[@UnitedSteaksofAmerica1776]

Will the series end it when you guys land on Mars?

[@aubreyjphilips9481]

So good to be watching again! This is my favorite KZbin series.

[@man-from-2058]

Feels good man

[@thejanitor3263]

Please use the pentaborane rocket at least once... that toxic green flame is worth any possible health related consequences, right?

[@lithobreak1748]

🤮🚀

[@TheBeardyPenguin]

100% that's why I blew 4 million funds on a new launch complex! :D

[@jmstudios457]

PENTABORANE RAAHHHH gotta love it when you completely sacrifice the health of your staff just for 20 extra seconds of ISP, I approve

[@joshuabanner3675]

It sure does look good when DarkHerring uses it I tell you what.

[@Cyruras]

UDMH also being cancer jucie in the background: noice

[@HALLish-jl5mo]

A LEO assembled lunar lander might be a good way to get a big lander with limited technology. Would also let you use unsafe unmanned rockets to launch most of the mass.

[@imEden0]

N2 could launch a large ascent stage, bout the mass of a lander, with the Soyuz hopefully.

[@cosmiccuttlefish5765]

Delighted to see For All Kerbalkind back! Congrats on your degree, can’t wait to see the video on your thesis.

[@SuprSBG]

I’m going into Aerospace Engineering and you have been an inspiration to me throughout your last few series, and I can’t wait for the next episode!

[@expansive6425]

Thanks for the video Beardy! Just wanted to say, it's funny to hear you say you finished your master's degree, since I've been watching non-stop since the Space Race series you did with TAPE and am now in the first year of my aeronautical bachelor. I hope you find luck in whatever you choose to do after uni!

[@TheBeardyPenguin]

Thank you and best of luck with aeronautics!

[@ShadowFalcon]

To be honest, I half expected this video to just start with 5 minutes of you swearing like a sailor 😅 In any case, great to have this awesome series restarted 👍

[@birdmcrandomsux]

I love the expressions on kerbals faces, it’s like despite them having gone into space multiple times they just forget immediately and they have a fresh face to smile in amazement at the darkness of space

[@HalNordmann]

As most real-life astronauts would tell you, it never gets old

[@penguinlord7655]

Is it christmas? No! It is an UPLOAD SCHEDULE! ITS BETTER THAN CHRISTMAS!

[@connork.2131]

I cannot wait to see the MAKS finally fly! I hope it is put to good use throughout the series.

[@alphaorder3392]

Komrade Brezhnev might decide to send a few more people in the space program to the Moon after this blunder (without suits). All jokes aside, you two have outdone yourselves with those cinematics! Can't wait for my favorite KSP series to return! :)

[@adamdubin1276]

Good to see this series making a return. Congratulation on finishing your degree and can't wait for the next episode.

[@NovaRaptorTV]

So awesome seeing this come back. And as for finishing your degree, congratulations dude! I finished my undergrad this year back in May!

[@electralumen165]

So excited to see the series back! I binge watched the series this time last year and I'm excited to get back into it.

[@capkirk9033]

The Salyut 1 solar panel issues are actually historically accurate. In order to get it out as soon as possible, the Salyut stations just used a bunch of Soyuz parts, which lacked the power to handle such a large station. The early Salyut/Almaz stations didn't have enough power to run their experiments and life support at the same time.

[@TheBeardyPenguin]

That's fascinating, good to know!

[@GeneralGrievousCIS]

Awesome to see this series back! Space stations in LEO could be good training grounds for cosmonauts ahead of future, longer duration, missions to a lunar orbit space station or the planned moon base, to say nothing of Mars. Exciting steps forward! :)

[@lh7789]

I am so happy that this series is back! Such an amazing series.

[@paramjotkaursodhi2408]

From fighting wars to colonizing planets it's good to see beardy back in action, with their new For all kerbal kind series. I love this show😁😁

[@vivosarma6977]

This has been a multiple year project… and I’m glad the production keeps getting better.

[@magiicbeans6405]

The return of this series brings huge joy to me, thanks Bready and N9!!!!!

[@mariasirona1622]

So great to see For All Kerbalkind back! What a great video. And that UR-200 is a truly awesome, superior rocket!

[@twDrex]

while im watching this while my friend is downloading ksp realism overhaul on my pc because i lost a bet thinking you wouldnt come back to ksp for all kerbalkind but you did!

[@cassiopeiaR6]

OMG! Love the Buran, Energia as well. Congrats on your masters!

[@paulsidhuUK]

This was a real treat. Great to have you back. Hope you are well and that you get a top grade in your degree.

[@raptorfae.6645]

It's great to see this series back, here's to hoping your first few missions to salyut don't go (or more accurately end) as terribly as they did irl.

[@joshuasteward6672]

Awesome! Looking forward to some Alt-History Soviet spaceplanes, and really looking forward to see what kind of improved lunar lander you come up with. Maybe something along the lines of the LK-700? Not sure if the Tantares parts mods are configured for RP-1, but that could be really cool!

[@pavellishin2972]

I badly want to know more about the mechanical venus lander project! Best of luck on your grades!

[@hurnal6198]

It’s Back! How much I missed this series

[@alexwonder361]

I needed to refresh my page to make sure it wasn’t a dream

[@Totally_Bonkers]

Welp, I caught up with the series finally. I was devastated with the Red Moon video, since I've only been watching the Soviet progress.

[@tigershark2328]

one of my friends is doing mechanical engineering at bristol He had to design a rover in a group. He and his friends couldn't be bothered to do the paperwork they needed to access their uni's sand pit. They went to a sand pit in a park, shooed away the children and did their testing there. I'd like to see if you can top that beardy

[@TheBeardyPenguin]

We took ours on a day trip to a beach, which I'd say is a close second to a children's play pit

[@paulschmidt9827]

Nice to have you back! I’ve missed your uploads!

[@Deltarious]

If I were writing your series as a narrative I'd probably have made it so that you *didn't* have that random failure but you *did* need to spend roughly a month researching and refining your better engines. If we're doing a "For All Kerbalkind" series that's your take on a "what if" race up to the moon so far then it makes most 'sense', at least to me, that you have to overcome all of the real N1's issues, and that means a hell of a lot of engine troubles. I feel the best approach probably *would* be to avoid failing as many times as the real N1 failed, as the soviets were pretty allergic to failure, at least in that sort of very public spectacular way, so more research makes the most sense, and that probably shouldn't come cheap either. That'd be a very 'Soviets are now strong, have become scarily professional and are real threat' type of story that I feel works very well in the For All type of universe. The other alternative is to narratively make them panic and therefore have *way* more tolerance for failures, and you just show failure after failure until eventually it gets better and works. That's be a very "russian"/'western pop culture' way of depicting it and either had the potential of being very gripping as a story. So basically you ended up getting a watered down and somewhat anticlimactic version of what probably *should* have been an issue for your N1 programme the whole time (in more of a way than it was, given you didn't have any catastrophic first stage failures), it's just a shame that it came in the form of a single RNG roll as opposed to an issue you were grappling with

[@PinappleCoinGaming]

i missed this series! glad to have it back, mate!

[@simonwaldock9689]

Glad to see you back.

[@eviltadpole1907]

congrats of finishing your degree, the venus rover sounds super cool

[@livethefuture2492]

I would love to hear about your venus lander project, that sounds incredible!

[@teatime1848]

I would watch this rn but it’s literally like 10pm for me and I’m tireddddd so I’ll see you tomorrow beardy

[@nikolaideianov5092]

At least it isnt something like 5 am .like with me

[@campbellmays9900]

Salyut 1 in the mid-sixties? This is the best timeline.

[@PManGaming1]

The best thing I've seen all day

[@williamaldredge8038]

Hey Beardy, I've been a fan for a long time. I was in my freshman year of college when I found you, and It was really cool to see someone my age playing Kerbal so well. Congrats on finishing your degree! I hope that wherever you go in life after this, you keep doing Kerbal. But, if you decide you should move on from gaming, that's also totally fair. I wish you all the best

[@l.namedcomrade6568]

От всего Ру комьюнити KSP огромное спасибо за интересный и качественный контент!

[@SurgutPictures]

imagine the feelings of the first astronauts on the Moon. "Wow.... Am i that small?"

[@laminat0996]

Maybe the lunar follow-on could be the L3M ship: two-launch, lunar orbit rendezvous, long surface stay, direct return to Earth

[@PuckLokin]

Congrats on the degree!!

[@F100cTomas]

Thanks Scott

[@nihil2157]

Fun fact - Almaz-Soyuz was the first combat crewed spacecraft armed with 14 mm autocannon

[@American_Videos.]

yoooo ITS BACK!

[@TheOrbitingBrick]

All I can say is that this is awesome!

[@Tyrannosaurusstudios]

i fuels like its been 2 weeks already but it has not

[@GoldenMoonOfDeltaCommentaries]

I just imagine Berady and the ghost of the ussr must be having a drink at the bar a tea mixed with vodka just mumbling incoherently about how they would of won the moon race if their launch vehicle was more reliable

[@franzlubeck9669]

I cant wait for Buran... that's gonna be awesome edit: pls do a mission where u dock a shuttle to a buran

[@gamerkeegan25]

Welcome back to the Center, we got more missions for you comrade. also hope you pass your Master's degree

[@RexKerman]

Keep up the great work❤

[@datmufn]

What happened to the rover project video Beardy? As an aspiring aerospace major idve loved to see it

[@notmrbeast8250]

HES BACK!!!!

[@AltairBlue]

i'd love to see you do the russian TMK missions! (there's multiple different ways they'd have gone, here's the list) crewed mars train base combo small mars base crewed venus/mars flyby combo simple crewed mars flyby + a bunch of probes and such strapped to the craft

[@sociallyimpaired3511]

ITS BACK ITS REALLY BACK HOLY BALLS ITS BACK

[@stekra3159]

For may we plant a red flag on a red planet and build a commune ther.

[@_mikolaj_]

Well now im waiting for beardy to get a job in JPL one day Congrats on the degree!

[@der_niro4318]

Hey beardy, I was wondering how you launch into a lunar transfer plane from Baikonur. I can't seem to figure out how to actually get my inclination aligned with the moon, which is a problem for me early on as I lack relight capability to adjust my inclination after making orbit

[@TheBeardyPenguin]

Set the moon as a target then open up mechjeb's rendezvous planner. Launch when relative inclination is at a minimum (17.56 degrees) then intercept the moon at the ascending or descending node :)

[@der_niro4318]

Thank you so much! I'll definitely try it!

[@thespacepeacock]

So glad FAK is back!

[@stoyantodorov2133]

Even though this is the last crewed flight of the N1 I really hope you utilize it for interplanetary missions. A mercury landing perhaps? Or a big probe to the gas giants.

[@oscar_bru8455]

HE HAS RETURNED

[@kommandantgalileo]

Let's hope Salyut 1 does not end in disaster.

[@dsmiley53]

Using your IRL degree to launch better missions? That's cheating! Typical Soviet behavior... :) Love the video, thanks!

[@everybodyrants]

man i hope your able to get your rocket design degree and good luck with your rover maybe nasa could use it

[@ShadowDragon1848]

It's good that our beloved Premier can escape to the only place not corrupted by capitalism if he wishes so. ^^

[@mr.alexgy4523]

Of course you saw the everyday astronaut video about the N1😸

[@TheBeardyPenguin]

Nicely spotted, yeah that little fact about engine failures was from EA I do have my own dedicated video about the N1 too! :)

[@magiicbeans6405]

2:03, is this video available? Sounds very interesting

[@dutche433]

Soviet technology has advanced so much, you can see a laptop inside Salyut 1 at 29:51. Our computer technology is light-years ahead of those greedy Americans!

[@MinerBat]

was there no irl concept for what to do after the first lunar lander and n1? you would think that they at least came up with an idea since that lander isnt good for a whole lot more than just a short, 1 person landing

[@TheBeardyPenguin]

Yeah, hydrolox upper stages and a 2 person lander like I'm doing, but beyond that there were no designs or concepts

[@timothylang741]

which mod adds these spaceplanes you are mentioning?

[@acebubbles5023]

Are y’all submitting the Venus River design into the competition NASA has up?

[@Cl0ud897]

Hmmmm... How about the Soviet Vulcan rocket as a bigger launch vehicle?

[@TheBeardyPenguin]

That's 1980s tech but it's in the tech tree so definitely!

[@Totally_Bonkers]

the roles here definitely feel reversed with post-moon landing

[@geokou7645]

When this series ends (which it would have to) you need to make it end with a bang. A nuclear one. On Europa

[@linecraftman3907]

Congratulations on finishing your degree Beardy! Looking forward to your video about the venus rover! the successor to "Slava" vehicle, should be "Ukraine" 😁 Obviously to honor Korolev homeland!

[@gooberone]

hey, the music around 12:00 seems familiar to me. where do you know it from? i've encountered that song many times in one of the games i play.

[@TheBeardyPenguin]

Music is all in the description

[@Simon-px8mi]

could there be a cczechoslovak cosmonaut? Ivan Bella was an irl one he was pretty famous and would honour our lacking but existing space program.

[@TheBeardyPenguin]

Up to patrons, they get to decide their names and where they come from!

[@Simon-px8mi]

@@TheBeardyPenguin i understand

[@danielkorladis7869]

What are those cool N-1 graphics at the end? Maybe the N-2 could have a similar layout to N1 but use fewer better engines?

[@TheBeardyPenguin]

The graphics are fan art submitted on my discord The N2 will look similar, it'll just have hydrolox upper stages

[@Tyrannosaurusstudios]

hi maybe send a rover to Venus and i have a funny idea make a Rodina 8 using the old engines and put one of n9 kerbals on it

[@iplaygames8090]

Need BDArmory for the almaz stations and polyus orbital weapons platform

[@shadowOrgon]

love watching this series between you all! love the different approaches. out of curiosity... is there any non-RO/RP-1(or whatever mod adds that) equivalent mod that has you launch satellites and hand them off to customers? cause that sounds like a fun way of making money rather then the same old tourism contracts in my current career save. And all my other modded contracts offer pennies as reward for contract completions..

[@rocketcello5354]

beauty!

[@Tim_Sviridov]

Haha, it took me a rewind and rewatch to realise that you were trying to say меч and весы. Ч is pronounced like ch in change.

Are you going to model the toxicity of a failed launch by requiring extra time for cleanup?

[@le_biblioteker9191]

Hey ! a nice episode like always , i just have a little question, how do you dock so well ? i always struggle with it

[@7469dany]

28:11 beardy u can launch progress to resupply

[@TheBeardyPenguin]

The early Salyuts can't easily be resupplied or expanded, the later ones add a second resupply docking port I'm just going to replace the station with a more advanced one

[@VSA_STUDIOS_OFFICAL]

Yes

[@randompopcat9615]

what are you guys going to be doing about the new realism overhaul update?

[@TheBeardyPenguin]

..not installing it? We've been stuck in an old version of RP-1 for ksp 1.10 for a while

[@randompopcat9615]

oh, wow you actually answered i mean yeah, fair point i was just curious@@TheBeardyPenguin

[@rydogdav]

So if the successor to the N1 is the N2, what happens when you reach N9??

[@SuprSBG]

No, we just skip that one and go straight to NX, then NX-01…

[@_mikolaj_]

Then Beardy builds N9's cluster moon rocket from his RP-1 series

It's fine you landed on the moon second, still did better than how it went IRL. Didn't get the record for largest non nuclear explosive though.

[@radicalgale]

Great video! Had to point out that your pronunciation of Меч (Sword) is wrong - it's not "meh" but "mech". Take the "me" part from "memo" and the "ch" part sounds like in "challenger". I strongly suggest using Yandex Translate to get the pronunciation right, it's similar to Google Translate but built by Russians and therefore better when it comes to voice overs. Google often mangles the intonation when it comes to Russian words.
