Fun fact: The calculated sound levels of this thing at lift off were such that it was actually a high probability that they would cause liquefaction of the ground beneath the launch pad.

@@TBone-bz9mp The 'biggest" reason was of course there was no need for that much payload to orbit in ANY conceivable or plausible planning.

(And keep in mind that this vehicle was totally "notional" in the first place :) )
Could we launch off of the water...seriously!? Launch pad at or near sea level ...acoustic energy absorbed on some level... I get the wobble effect etc... But could it happen?
@@kevinserpa9423 "Off of" as in a floating launch pad or "Out of" as in Sea Dragon? In either case it's not likely because the acoustic range over water is higher and more destructive as the energy if reflected not absorbed. (Hence why Musk's Starship/Super-Heavy "point-2-point" is unlikely to happen) What they had planned for some of the Post-Apollo "Super-Heavy" launch vehicles like NEXUS and ROMBUS was a water filled basin, not to absorb but reflect the sound, somewhat 'focusing' the noise in a vertical manner first above and then below the LV as it lifted off and out of the basin. Later study pointed out that was not likely to work most of the time at any rate. Sound over water carries and tends to amplify in most atmospheric conditions so it really doesn't help unless you are VERY far off-shore.
This thing is still weak sauce compared to the Seadragon.. granted that thing used an INSANE amount of fuel. Probably used as a pretext for invading an unnamed middle eastern country to spread “democracy”.
Oh they still do. You'd be surprised how many of my friends in engineering school cite KSP as one of the reasons they're there. Kerbal is such an important game that there's an entire generation of STEM students inspired and fueled by it. I can't stress that point enough!
My ksp rocket of choice is basically the delta III but instead of two external tanks it has four. Which top up the centre core For the heavy lift version I just add five SRBs to the bottom
The original Jupiter 3 was part of the Direct program proposal back around 2007 -08. It was proposed to use most of the shuttle hardware minus the orbiter. It was to keep experienced employees on station and keep flying until Ares came on-line.

My dude you are amazing at what you do! This is my favourite shuttle-derived launch vehicle concept! Excellent work as always; keep it up! Two more things: 1. Do you have a real-life job? If not someone should seriously hire you! 2. As a possible video idea, could you do the Star Raker spaceplane?
@Alpha Centauri Given enough time and money, certainly. The two biggest problems it would have faced are hydrogen embrittlement and its engines. Lockheed Martin claims to have solved hydrogen embrittlement in the last ten years or so, and SABRE, an even more ambitious engine than the ones Star Raker would have used, is nearing completion. I think it likely would only have started flying in the last 10 or 15 years, even if development had started in the '70s, as it was a wee bit ahead of its time.
Glad to see people getting on board with the Jupiter-III. 😃. I fly this thing all the time in Orbiter 2016. Great for Mars missions as a Heavy Lift Vehicle.
I'm still, again and again, impressed with all the effort put into this. It's already something onto its self to just animate a rocket, but you as well make it look like it was actually filmed. Bravo!
Omg 2 shuttles without a orbiter strapped next to a heavily modified Saturn V! That looks so KSP Also, that 4 SRB separation looks so cool. Let's call it something like the Braun cross
@@lorcatron A: Its not a Rocket B: Objects cant be "Nazi" C: With that attitude we werent allowed to have the Saturn V and basically 80% of modern technology.

After Challenger the SRB casings were redesigned to elliminate that flaw, switching from one O-ring too three O-rings + internal gap sealing cover; Scott Manley has a great vid on it.
What a wonderful gift! I swear to god I was looking at artist's rendering of this concept a few weeks ago and you gave it to us with the same stunning realism and creativity you always do. Could you possibly create a 1960's concept of a Space Shuttle orbiter with a manned flyback verticle launch carrier ship. Thanks so much! Once again. Wish I had 1/10 your talent!
Heck yeah! This I would love to see. This would be Mega Heavy Lift! Would be meant for building g the next generation of space station which would twice as large, maybe in a higher orbit the the ISS. But, in either event. This would SELL as a model kit, to be sure!
Yeah it does. There were two teams of engineers, DIRECT 1.0 and TeamVision. This was TeamVision’s super heavy lift design but the two teams joined forces for DIRECT 2.0
Low Earth Orbit payload 2 Space Shuttle = 200 tons,+ Saturn V 200tonnes =400 tons payload for low Earth orbit, If von Braun were alive, he would do this, reliably leverage existing technology, and put more payload into low orbit

Most ksp rocket ever, a lot of engines, thicc radial tanks and of top of that, a gigantic fairing.
And weird staging, the inline part of the first stage have no fueltank, all the fuel it use came from EFTs.
UR-700 was the most kerbal rocket ever.
I made this rocket in ksp 1.8.1 realism overhaul.... this thing surprisingly work great!
