    From the earth to the moon in a Gemini, and how we got there.

    Excellent work! Algol boosted Saturn is not expected. But it works.

    I love your videos for many reasons. I love how you add life to the scenes described with amazing commentary and sound. Lines like “Under the eerie calmness of the lunar expanse below them” (34:25) really makes these scenes seem magical and poetic. Love your work Calvin, shame I was busy during the premiere.

      There are so many beautiful moments like these in your videos, I could write a full essay on these videos. You truly are talented, Calvin.

      Absolutely! Been on a bit of a hiatus (brake to clear my head from the game, updating to 1.10 and fixing save issues, family vacation time), but I'm happy to say I'm back and will resume work this week! :D

    I happened upon this episode via a link in Carnasa's discord. Sir, may I say that you should be very proud of your production. Very, very well done. The only change I might recommend is that you turn down the music volume just a little bit in future episodes, and your narration volume up. Aside from that, this is, in my opinion, a perfect video! It earned an automatic subscribe and thumbs up from me. I look forward to all your content.

    Why use the transtage instead of the centaur for the lunar gemini craft? given that the track record for transtage is a bit…. iffy at best

    • @CalvinMaclure

      Compactness, limitless restartability, and storable propellants

    • @Lewy94999
      @Lewy94999 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Early Centaurs had only 6 hours of endurance in orbit due to quick propellant boiloff. Of course you could cheese this in KSP with a crapton of MLI layers, but where's the fun in that?

    Does the triple core titan have better performance than the ua1205s?

      Not sure, actually, since I haven't yet unlocked the UA120s.
