How did you post this comment 18 hours ago
I highly recommend you "Restock". It's a nice mod that re-textures all the stock parts and makes them look waaay better
Hey, can you make a space station by the moon that’s meant to be a ‘evil’ cooperate base. Then get a rocket to take it down.
@@kilianclasen5521 He says he wants his game to be as stock as possible, especially in videos. Although I like Restock better than the default textures I generally play without it for the same reasons.
Can you do a build with kerbal interstellar extended mod?
6 years of playing KSP and I've just learned of ALT+F5...
That would have saved so much time.
lmfao
Rip
Alt+f9 loads to previous quicksave.... including the last one you saved years ago...
@@3OrMoreBones no, f9 loads last quicksave, but alt+f9 pops up a windiw where you can choose any quicksave and load it
@@canaDavid1 try using a mac.
yeah so uhh thanks to you bob is now stuck in orbit around eve... so uhh you kind of owe me a blunderbirds mission.
Lol
I’m pretty much in that situation as well no idea how he gets home for that deltaV
i managed to get bob stranded on Eve, even worse
Just got bill stuck on the mun, then got Jeb stuck trying to save him, had to use a lab around the mun to get some extra science, then pick em both up with Valentina.
They where only stuck there for a year 😂.
@@mj6463 I spy I spy with my little eye, something grey.
They should really add quicksave and quickload to the current game of life; would surely make it a lot easier...
Mika de Grote don't you know the fridge is the saving point
They should make forming relationships as easy as in the Sims 4. Just repeatedly ask about her day and then repeatedly flirt and simply overpower the resulting Bored emotion
But then you forget to quicksave and when you f up you press f9 and suddenly you're 5 years old again.
Oh no I robbed a store and got arrested! *spams F9*
Go watch Tierzoo - He shows his playthroughs of past versions of Outside
I took me 5 hours - but my first, LEGIT, trip to Gilly and back, has now been completed! Thank you Mr. Lowne
When Matt uploads we click
Lowne’s Law.
U mean we clicc

Gilly: Landig legs are overrated
Back in my days we were landing on the Mun using only fins.

Me - Well Bob is already in space so it's too late now....
Mr highschool: well bob is already in orbit
Me: oh God a scientist piloting a spaceship in ksp

The Oberth Effect presents: A Matt Lowne video.
Generous of Mr Oberth to let Matt guest star on this.
One thing I’ve noticed, he does these missions with Impossible amounts of DV
What do you mean by “impossible amounts”?
@@onyxzheng347 somehow matt does missions with smaller amounts of DV than the average ksp player would need to get into orbit.last time I made it to orbit my rocket was 2x the size of the one in the video
@@minecraftmarioboy5012 I’ve never seen any huge differences in my rockets and his
@@onyxzheng347 then you must be a pro player or something unlike me and a million others💀
@@minecraftmarioboy5012 being somehow efficient is not really pro. And, btw, for the sake of the tutorial Matt doesn't make suicide burns which are more efficient.
Matt saying at the end "hope you enjoy" and me thinking "wtf how can you *NOT* enjoy Matt?!"
alex I can only think of one way
@@theremoteanater not having the save version as him
His commentary is kinda meh, but otherwise his videos are good.
@@arandomzoomer4837 bruh his commentary is the main part that makes his videos good
One thing that should be mentioned is that the Oberth effect is not programmed in the KSP simulation. Only basic Newtonian physics are programmed. The Oberth effect is a side effect of physics and this simulation shows it perfectly. Same for gravity assists. It's not like unlocking a secret level. It's already in the mechanics of the simulation! That's one thing I love about KSP. Only the basic physics rules are programmed. The rest arises by itself!
I think you are right and I made a comment above that questions whether we saw the Oberth effect at all.
I deleted my posts because I've been studying this and am convinced I was not right. I was thinking the engine is more powerful at high velocity and would then create more DV at the PE. But no, it creates the same DV but at the PE, this same DV represents more kinetic energy. So, like you said, it's in the mechanics of the simulation.
You always do a great job of explaining your missions. Keep up the good work!
Thanks
Bradley Whistance: small Duna mission
Matt Lowne: *BIG* Duna mission
The biggest boi
Very Thicc
Matt, have you seen his videos?!?!
He did a 10 million ton spaceship to duna
And he also got to Duna with ion engines.
Me four hours ago: looks easy enough, heaps fo delta v to spare! Me now: time ready a ready a rescue rocket!
Here’s a tip I learned for some new players, make sure you match the orbit direction of gilly! It’s a lot harder to capture at gilly if you are orbiting eve in the opposite directions!
I guess you learnt it the hard way
Thanks this was really helpful. Will give it a try.
Thank you Matt! This is my third tutorial from you that helped me make it to a moon.
Hey Matt. I have been kind of new to this channel and have been watching your videos about this game for a couple weeks. I already knew this game was out and didn’t really get interested until I watched your videos. Fast forward a couple days I bought the game. I heard on Xbox this was really hard and I didn’t have a pc so it gave me a challenge. Fast forward a couple more days and I just made my first round trip from kerbin to the mun! Since you uploaded, I thought I would let you know. Thank you for the inspiration. Honestly.
Finally! A new Gilly video, I've been waiting forever.
Thanks Matt for this guide
Até agora foi a melhor demonstração do efeito Oberth. Agradeço e parabéns por mais esse vídeo.
your vids are keeping me alive during quarentine thank you
When Matt uploads, you know it’s gonna be a good day!
Science! Great demo! Doing this today.
This is a great series
Yes thank you I’ve needed a good tutorial to reach other planets, without all those hard to build super rockets!
Thanks Matt! These videos have been very helpful. I had a problem with the rocket flipping so I added fins. Everything else was fine tho. 👍
After two failed attempts, I finally did it! Thanks Matt!!
21:20 it's the greatest thing Bob have seen. He had only 745 m/s left and would not like to be terminated and respawned again, as he did after his failed attempt to get to the mun.
Att least I hope I hope I can get back
"The Duna vision that I enmissioned..."
Nice Video!
Matt, just wanna say i have been playing KSP for ages, and until today had never managed (tbf i didnt try thaaat hard) to get near any other body apart from Mun and Minmus. Just returned from Eve with Bob, got 1,500 science (I've only played science playthrough because why not?) Thanks Matt!
Wow the oberth effect sounds very helpful, I did not know that.
Gilly was actually just the third place I've been outside the Kerbin gravity well. Cool destination, but kinda a pain to get into its sphere of influence.
well, you're super lucky cuz for me, it was impossible. in my situation, I was in such a weird inclination and Gilly's apoapsis would take out a lot of fuel, meaning that I had to risk it entirely and try not to end up going out of Eve's SOI, and I decided to completely give up and try again tomorrow.
I think it's more of "luck based on whether you think of every single thing that could thwart your attempt at getting to it, or it's gonna be a bit harder than the mun and it should be no problem.
@@benjaminsantillo-herbert2680 Yeah, it's like trying to hit a pea from across a field. You might try extending the apoapsis above Gillys orbit and then creating a maneuver node at apoapsis so and tweaking it till you get an encounter.
Matt Lownes fuel use is the definition of perfection
Love your videos! i’d love to hear more detailed logic you use when placing interplanetary maneuver nodes. I have my gilly kerbals and a second rescue ship stuck in deep space because i think my eve Pe was on the wrong side of the planet to launch along eve’s prograde. I should have escaped gilly in a better spot. Had 1000 Dv when leaving gilly. I’m going to have to send a space bus to go pick them up now 😂 i’m trying to not use mods when planning the transfers and love hearing the tricks you use to eyeball the maneuvers
Amazing video Matt, keep up the amazing work!!!
THE POWER OF THE OBERTH EFFECT
This is really handy.
Great video
Nice video and all.. Just wanted to say this cos it was haunting my mind. Does anyone else notice the obvious similarity between Finch (from American Pie) and Matt?? Just hilarious really.. Great job Matt on both accounts lol
My kerbins 500 years old now after that mission (dont ask i messed up alot)
It took me 350 m/s to Eve escape, and my Kerbin closest approach was 318,000 m, but with an inclination adjustment and a retrograde + radial in burn of about 390 m/s led me to a periapsis of 40,000 m over Kerbin. With 2 flybys, one for capture and one for land, I landed with 170 ablator spent.
P.S I had the Gravioli module already unlocked, as I visited an extra biome on mun, and got a total of about 5000 science from this mission!
Bois i cant even do a gravity assist easily nevermind this
I'll take this so I can use it tomorrow
In other news; RocketLab hard at work continuing to own the SLV market. The electron is slated for testing for reuse recovery via mid air recovery (maybe after 4 or 5 missions of data gathering they will have the data and confidence to put it into action).
I don't know what the details are for what's planned on being reused (entire stage, engines only, stage with engines replaced, idk). Being 3D printed, should be interesting to see if the entire stage is able to undergo refurbishment, ofc that's a while away but those NZ folks always amaze.
I therefore challenge you Matt to create a helicopter in KSP and successfully use said craft to do a mid-air recovery of a rocket!
Once landed a 200ton mobile refinery on gilly saved three botched missions
Matt you secretive mad genesis. I found that I had already had one of these crafts that I started about 1.5 years ago. Tested it last night on a sand box but it failed as Bob was stuck i orbit of Kerbin at the end of the mission. Out of fuel. If I changed it to deorbit it would either explode, leave Kerbin or Bob is out of fuel in some orbit. Even tried to come on the left side of the planet to try to bleed off speed but it failed. When I left Gilly I had 95% or so of my fuel. So, I don't know where it all went. I know the burn back to Kerbin as I forced it use a bit but it couldn't have used that much. I remember the burn to set the inc at the dn/an was about 265. Whatever the error was if was after I left Gilly. Last time I went in a SSTO I had loads of fuel on the return. And yes, am looking at some of your other vids that aren't about SSTO's now.
This is very goatee
Saw this video on my youtube, never clicked on something so fast in my life
Have you thought about recreating the Hermes launch vehicle and transport craft? I think that would be an interesting mission and such.
Honestly, this took WAY to long to do. My first real misson thanks matt! I just got to gilly and i'm waiting for a time where I dont keep floating around, lol.
My first interplanetary attempt was a one-way Duna mission, and an Ike return mission after ~5 Duna one-way trips. I had around 100 hours by the time of that missions. Now I have a 310 hours KSP experience, and I successfully made a Moho return mission.
Rocket design is amazing
Good job
11:40 - We are very, very close to Gillys orbit - 25 degrees inclination abomination. Good GOD this encounter was so lucky. Anyway.. I love your videos anyway! Cheers!
Biome hopping in gilly is painfull af
Scientist can't use SAS,maneuver nodes, Shift and Control buttons for the throttle in the career mode!
Depending on what you have unlocked you can fly by wire if you have a connection to ksc
@@andrewkvk1707 what do you have to unlock?
@@isaacflett1321 Specialized Control adds the fly-by-wire hub, although I've never used it and can't say if it adds any controls other than level 3 SAS.
@@andrewkvk1707 wow yeah I just booted up ksp to try it out and yeah they have pretty much full control, can't believe I didn't know that.
Put a probe core on top, or use relay satellites
Once you have finished this series, you could switch to a JNSQ mod series, essentially the same solar system, 2.7x scale and prettier with additional planets and moons as well.Makes things a little trickier to do kinda like an RSS experience but doable with stock parts.
I gotta put a base on Gilly with motorised wheels for near $2m in career, so this is a big help. Cheers! :D
Matt, you should do a challenge of playing this on console. It might be just me, but fine tuning maneuver nodes with a controller is second to impossible
Its a pain,but it works.
I KNOW RIGHT (I play on Xbox)
And you'd think it's easier to control with analog inputs, nope I just grow depressed
It is hard (ps4)
Thank you
My first interplanetary journey left Jeb stranded in a solar orbit somewhere in the vicinity of Duna.
But hey, at least he got to land on Ike and Duna first.
I managed to get 8000 science from this mission following this guide thanks to the gravioli detector and eva biome hop surface samples and such! *and* it was a reasonable amount of science because im playing with the community tech tree mod so it wasnt overkill! YIPPEEEEE
Thanks for the guide. This took me WAY too long to do. MET T+ 2y 132d 4:41:11
I just created a world record for the fastest tap.
.
Good for you.
Bruh I thought you said fap
First time i've watched a video within ten minutes of it being published.
Might be poor advice but, For fiddly burns I use the thrust limiter. Obviously reasonably quick burns are great. But sometimes even using shift + ctrl is a pain for 1 sec burns. Open them up out to 4 secs by limiting your thrust. Then you can digital start and stop with z and x for precision
yay finally early to watch a new vid. WAHOO
Me watches the video: Oh bro thats EZ lets do it
In the middle of the space: What did i do??
Only took poor Bob 5 years to get home but mission successful!
.... never thought about going to Gilly with my ~6000m/s in LKO Mun-Multi-Biome-Hopper .... that will be fun, thanks =)
My first mun rocket was a Burj khalifa of SRBs mixed with LRBs
Please note that the simple act of planting a flag was enough to launch Bob several feet above the surface.
And. One of the reasons I started playing ksp is becouse I saw your videos and I was like: "I can explore the solar system!? On my own!? I can do stupid stuff! I NEED IT!"
Lots and lots of BIG parts to do a nice BIG DUNA MISSION! Lol.
I had such bad luck that at the point where the maneuver node would be in the sphere of influence of Eve I was on a course through the Mun's sphere of influence
You’re like the grain of ksp
this video would have been helpful yesterday, did my first gilly mission, took a ship with 10k deltav in LKO and quickly realized i only needed half of that
Better than my efforts. I did a 2 man mun mission. Got to Mun, landed. Realised my lander legs were too short.
Then realised I lacked the Delta V to get my lander into even a stable orbit. Scrubbed the mission, ended up taking it to Minmus and regretting not having RCS thrusters installed on the lander. I EVA'd and took the science across to the rocket that way.
Then accidentally seperated the capsules without activating parachutes.
Thank dog for quicksaves
I tried to get to the mun then crashed:(
Hello Matt, great video!
By the way I noticed you have played Astroneer before, that game has had tons of updates recently, could you consider making a new video on that game? :D
Great video! could you do a video guide with how to install the mod visuals you use? I've tried some mods in 1.7.3, and the result is always very strange... :(
Awesome video, but I'm really confused how you're able to get a Kerbin encounter at all at 20:30. I get that the point of dropping your periapsis close to Eve is to maximize the Oberth effect, but how is it that you can do a simple prograde burn from that periapsis and still manage to get a Kerbin encounter? Especially when your inclination is already so awkward after coming back from Gilly, and the ejection angle seems totally arbitrary, and you didn't have to wait a really long time for a certain launch window... I tried replicating your steps after launching from Gilly but couldn't get an encounter like yours at all, so I wonder if I missed something.
Normally when I do missions like this I get myself in an equatorial circular orbit around Eve and use Alex Moon's launch window planner to calculate everything. I'm always baffled whenever I see a video of someone doing an interplanetary transfer on the fly!
5 Months later but its a mixture of heading back to kerbin from eve during a transfer window. The other half is in this video he sort of forces an encounter. Fiddling with the maneuver nodes while at a transfer window will usually make getting an encounter easy!
@@erthwermmusic what does a kerbin-eve transfer window look like? Poor bob is stranded in orbit around eve.
@@spacecowboy2160 Congrats on getting to Eve! If you draw a line from kerbin, to the sun, then to Eve, the angle should be 54 degrees, with Eve being behind kerbin. So if you have kerbin at 12 o'clock, even should be at 2 o'clock ish.
Здорово у тебя получатся англичанин!
Привет тебе из Раски Федераски!
Nice rocket
Early in a science play through I strap a bunch of srb’s and cheap liquid engines together to get to eve.
... next pls something else than a Duna thingy ... whats most enjoyable after a Duna mission?
Great tutorials ;)
Fine Matt, but can you go to eve next time? I really need a tutorial( by the way: FIRST!)
Me too
We don't really have the tech for Eve right now. I mean, it's possible but it doesn't really make sense until we have bigger pieces. I'm planning the finale of this episode to be an Eve landing and return though!
Matt Lowne: thanks Matt
You know, I tried this design for a Mun Rocket, and I encountered the Side Boosters crashing into the core stage, even with Liquid-fueled boosters (which I almost never use).
When i got the encounter from a low eve periapsis back to kerbin, the encounter was to happen in 57 years. I looked up the transfer window and waited to see if it helped but couldnt get my kerbin periapsis below 50 ish million km. Thought Id done everything according to the tutorial. Have to try again. Great video tho.
made my own rocket, but good tutorial, thoug had to redo it to get an eqatorial orbit
Instructions unclear, kerbin now has 3 moons
I am simple man, i see Matt´s video, I click.
Thank you, very insightful...
they should've made gilly grabbable with the grabber and changed the drill mining mode on gilly to "asteroid harvester" just to emphasize that it is small
matt do a career mode with food to make it harder that is fun!! i am doing the same now !
Nice
I landed on gilly and then realized it is now my least favorite moon in the kerbol system.
The low gravity makes it extremely difficult to walk and jump, and the rocket I used to land on it keeps moving around!
After 4 or 5 trys and one over engineered rocket I got to Gilly and back with 2000 delta V to spare
