Plot twist, within 20 years they discovered how to go light speed and in 30 years they reached and colonized the planet, the previous crew gets there 400 years later to find an advaced human civilization of hundreds of millions of people Lolol.
They have 3d printers so unless the new engines need a different fuel source they could just e-mail them the plans and upgrade their craft en route. Recycle the old engines for materials where possible.
Side note when the crew returned from the perilous journey they found out that they were forgotten about due to a leap frog in Technology. The first warp ships reached Proxima 300 years before these brave Kerbils and found it less than desirable so they moved on.
IMO, instead of surpassing old interstellar missions, later missions should rendezvous with and upgrade them, so the first crew sent out to another star becomes the first to arrive. Similar thing with unmanned missions-one of the first spacecraft to arrive at another star should be a revived, massively upgraded Pioneer/Voyager/New Horizons.

(Whew! This took me two to three hours to find.) I distinctly remember, when I was a teenager back in the 1960's, reading one of my first science fiction short stories that has, as its plot, what you ascribe: where (from Wikipedia) "the crew of a spaceship that arrive at Centaurus after hundreds of years [500, actually], only to find it settled by people who arrived in faster ships." Since I read it SO long ago I couldn't remember the title or the author. So I had to do a search based on what I remembered of the plot, which wasn't easy. However I am happy to say that I found the story. It is: Title: "Far Centaurus" Author: A. E. van Vogt Year Published: January 1944 Published in: Astounding SF
10:40 "I know it doesn't feel it because of the cryo sleep, but we haven't seen this place for nearly a thousand years" "I wonder what they have been up too..."
Holy hell, that Neil Armstrong tribute made me cry. Thank you from a nasa family, who members help with the Apollo and Mars rover missions. Truly, thank you.
@@rawnukles Yeah, that's the Stellaris OST alright. It's great, although it can get a bit non-sequitur to have all that grand, epic music playing when nothing much is going on. Like, for example, when you're trying to balance the economy of your colony worlds to squeeze some more energy credits out of them so you can keep expanding your high-maintenance "peacekeeping" fleet.
Epic! Very good choice of music. And i LOVED the last shot of two ships side by side - old veteran and brand new one, with warp ring at the back. Time for FTL flight, baby!
Can you imagine these astronauts landing after 420 years in cryosleep and then they see a huge next-next-gen FTL ship landed on their spot and these 400 years younger astronauts would go: sorry bois, we beat you to it :/.
@@Links_Rechts_Lo Astronauts for 400 year ago be like : hey kid..are we joke for you? but it will peak if they have 400 year journey to meet that human civilization is already here by FTL drive...
Amazingly, science fiction often portrays FTL to be more likely than super extended lifespans to the point of near immortality, even though one is physically impossible as compared with the other. With that said, I do personally think we could get relativistic spaceships and longer lifespans within our lifetimes at least, which means it would be possible for us to colonize other stars within the next 2 centuries
I always come back to watch this video, I've been playing KSP for almost a decade now and this is still the most impressive KSP Campaign I've ever seen. I do like the little touch that they left in 1961 and came back in the 27th century.
Been playing just as long and I whole heartedly agree! Only problem is I always end up downloading more mods after watching it. Playing stock-ish just isn't as satisfying as it used to be.
Do you imagine taking 400 years to reach your destination only to be greeted by humans that got there 300 years before you by inventing warp and instantly reaching their destination

We might send an unmanned probe to Proxima b in our lifetime, though us going there is probably not happening for at least 100 years (and will probably take centuries to reach it) assuming we don't nuke each other or make the planet uninhabitable by then.
@@xzznnn845 The plan is to propel a bunch of solar sails using powerful lasers on the earth (ideally the moon) to accelerate these crafts to 20% the speed of light, which will take about 20 years to reach Proxima B, well within one human lifetime. Voyager I, which used 4 gravity assists from the gas planets, would take about 380,000 years to reach Proxima B if it was headed that direction, which it is not. Humanity would either be long gone by then or have colonized the galaxy, so it would've been useless to send that probe to begin with.
It’s what I imagined distant space battles in the Hyperion Cantos would’ve looked like, tiny but superbright flares of fusion engines moving across the sky.
omg the dedication! I cant imagine how many hours this must have taken to plan, build, execute and record! This is kinda hyping me up for KSP2 even more lol
Loved the music choice, and some of the shots where amazing! My favorite was the Kerbals standing on top of the VAB watching the drive plumes of the fleet escaping orbit.
If i'm correct, that mission took nearly a thousand years between the departure of the first crew, and his comeback to earth? Or have i missed something?
@@coenogo No because you can see the old Daedalus ship arrive back in Earth orbit in the second to last shot. Then the final shot is the new vessel with the Alcubierre drive
am i the only one thinking that the first thing the astronaunts will feel after waking up from the cryo sleep is an enormous heartbreak knowing that the have outlived all their loved ones including their parents?

What an awesome KSP interstellar video, it must be hard keeping track of all those spacecraft. By the way I love the graphics, and what editing software and game version do u use?
I use premiere to edit this video.The game version is 1.7.3. Because of hyperedit, I just need to keep one ship's track. If I keep the track of all those spacecrafts, it would take me two more months to make this vedio.
It would and would most likely happen in the future but the time problem could stop it. If we sent generation ships like this and get there in 400 years,then humanity in those 400 years could have made faster ships,and beat the previous ships,and make a population of possibly thousands of not millions of people
...except people on Earth wouldn't find out till another 400 years later when the ship got back. if it got back. not exactly "straight into the history book". I mean... 8.5 centuries round trip ...that would be like if Eric the Red's descendants just now got back to Norway to tell them about Iceland and Greenland. It would be a newspaper headline (remember those?) but perhaps not for the reason Eric's kin expected...
I've got 500hrs on KSP (can only imagine how many you have to pull something like this off) and all I can say is; respect. Even with (minor) cheating the amount of effort it took to do this in game and then make the video is impressive. Good job! ;)
My 4 year and I LOVE watching this together. He’s full of questions which I try my best to answer. Bravo on a educational video! Honestly what skill level does this take in KSP??? Amazing...
Even though this isn’t real, still gave me goosebumps... Mammoth job, and awesome editing and soundtrack too. Keep up this good work! P.S you earned a sub!
@@Ghost-ot8cg Yeah nothing stopping you from doing that in ksp 1. In my comment I was just referring to how ksp 2 will have a full blown colony mechanic where you can actively construct buildings, roads, runways, power stations, etc. Also ksp 1 doesn’t have other star systems in the vanilla game as ksp 2 will.
This has so much awesomeness about it, I don't know where to begin! However the shot of the two Kerbals standing watching the fleet power away from their home world was amazing! Anyway, better go, I've a ship about to try to land on the Mun! 😂
I thinking.. Maybe humanity will become an interstellar species someday... Maybe someday in the future we will really reach for the stars... Mayby we will become immortal. Maybe ... someday..
Imagine going on this trip, sleeping 400 years in hibernation , only to find out that humans on Earth had a big leap in technology and could be there in under 15 years and forgot someone was on the way there and meeting an already established colony there 😬😂
It's exactly why we're not attempting to do something like that now, even though we could technically reach alpha centauri in 70--80 years, its very likely that in 50 years time, we will have technology to reach it in 10 or 15.
@@derbigpr500 We have a long time to go 70-80 years is nothing, i think that much will take us to get to mars reliably. We are not even at the start of our space journey.
IMO, it is not worth a read. The author throws some basic laws of physics out of the window, and makes near-impossible mindsets for his oponents just to get a dramatic plot.
@@HalNordmann Well, That is live, right? You cannot expect what the next thing you are going to see in this universe is like. Anyway, I like the book, and you can have your judgement.
There's actually a book with that plot out there, I can't remember its name but it was about a group of explorers on a ship that they had to go into cryrosleep for a few decades at a time in order to travel between planets!
There's also a manga with that premise but I forgot the title. Basically, humans sent a colony ship out of curiosity. The colony ship carries frozen embryo which will be thawed when they're within a decade of a habitable planet. However, the donors felt guilty about it, and when FTL was invented decades later, they actually sent FTL terraforming ship to prepare a "habitable world" for the kids to live in.
This is the most epic KSP video ever! Edit in September 2024: I don't know how many times I have watched this masterpiece at this point. It is just too good.
When i see 422 years of travel time, im like "dude canti'u just jump a little bit more to make it 420" just kidding.. amazing video though, really appreaciate the work, hope to see more especially when ksp2 is out
So 1000 years later they return to earth. Cryosleep, if it ever becomes a reality, would be the most significant change to the way humans think about time and events and would fundamentally change what we care about as a species. Reminds me a lot of altered carbon and stacks.
There is actually a hard limit on how long you could `freeze` or put someone in suspended animation before latent radiation decay in the cells causes irriversable dna damage. Although I guess if you had tech to freeze people for hundreds of years you probably have tech to regenerate damaged cells.
@@meetoo594 That's what I like to imagine is going on in those sci-fi movies where someone wakes up from cryo and it takes them forever to acclimate. The body is undergoing rapid repairs from nanomachines that were injected into the body before cryosleep.
Achieving relativistic speeds will extend the lifespan of the crew due to time dilation. Also with genetic engineering we can diverge a part our species who are more suited to live in space.
@@RandomPerson-gy3ql This just shows the Big Brained Energy of Humans, no matter the era they are in. Hell I can assure you, some Chinse Philosopher or Other Great Empires in the past, probabyly, even ONE of their people beleived that they will land on the moon, Who Knows? There is a very VERY small chance a Chinese Philosopher designed a Rocket or a Space Shuttle. Who knows?
I like watching this video and imagining me doing it, and how fun it would be, but then I remember that ksp is not well optimised and that you probably made this video with 1 fps while running the game for long periods.

I distinctly remember, when I was a teenager back in the 1960's, reading one of my first science fiction short stories that has, as its plot, what you ascribe: where (from Wikipedia) "the crew of a spaceship that arrive at Centaurus after hundreds of years [500, actually], only to find it settled by people who arrived in faster ships."
Since I read it SO long ago I couldn't remember the title or the author. So I had to do a search based on what I remembered of the plot, which wasn't easy. However I am happy to say that I found the story. It is:
Title: "Far Centaurus"
Author: A. E. van Vogt
Year Published: January 1944
Published in: Astounding SF

10/10 on that music
I thinks it he music from Stellaris game. It lifted my spirits
@@rawnukles Yeah, that's the Stellaris OST alright. It's great, although it can get a bit non-sequitur to have all that grand, epic music playing when nothing much is going on. Like, for example, when you're trying to balance the economy of your colony worlds to squeeze some more energy credits out of them so you can keep expanding your high-maintenance "peacekeeping" fleet.
The actual song is Final Frontier by Thomas Bergersen
@@Captain_Echo Oh really ! I'm a huge fan of Two Steps from Hell. I didn't know it was the same. He really has such an epic style.

Epic! Very good choice of music. And i LOVED the last shot of two ships side by side - old veteran and brand new one, with warp ring at the back. Time for FTL flight, baby!
Can you imagine these astronauts landing after 420 years in cryosleep and then they see a huge next-next-gen FTL ship landed on their spot and these 400 years younger astronauts would go: sorry bois, we beat you to it :/.

This Post was made by the Hyperdrive Gang
Amazingly, science fiction often portrays FTL to be more likely than super extended lifespans to the point of near immortality, even though one is physically impossible as compared with the other.
With that said, I do personally think we could get relativistic spaceships and longer lifespans within our lifetimes at least, which means it would be possible for us to colonize other stars within the next 2 centuries
I always come back to watch this video, I've been playing KSP for almost a decade now and this is still the most impressive KSP Campaign I've ever seen. I do like the little touch that they left in 1961 and came back in the 27th century.
Been playing just as long and I whole heartedly agree! Only problem is I always end up downloading more mods after watching it. Playing stock-ish just isn't as satisfying as it used to be.

We might send an unmanned probe to Proxima b in our lifetime, though us going there is probably not happening for at least 100 years (and will probably take centuries to reach it) assuming we don't nuke each other or make the planet uninhabitable by then.
@@northernskies86 all we probably need is several gravity assists to reach próxima C before.... The inevitable end of the solar system
@@xzznnn845 The plan is to propel a bunch of solar sails using powerful lasers on the earth (ideally the moon) to accelerate these crafts to 20% the speed of light, which will take about 20 years to reach Proxima B, well within one human lifetime. Voyager I, which used 4 gravity assists from the gas planets, would take about 380,000 years to reach Proxima B if it was headed that direction, which it is not. Humanity would either be long gone by then or have colonized the galaxy, so it would've been useless to send that probe to begin with.

2:29 is in my opinion
10:36 with Saturn in background.
It’s what I imagined distant space battles in the Hyperion Cantos would’ve looked like, tiny but superbright flares of fusion engines moving across the sky.
Why is this one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen.

ReachStar!the most impressive KSP video I has ever seen!And I can't wait to
see the next one.
The coolest KSP video I’ve ever seen. The amount of work you must have put into this is gargantuan. Massive respect
Loved the music choice, and some of the shots where amazing! My favorite was the Kerbals standing on top of the VAB watching the drive plumes of the fleet escaping orbit.
If i'm correct, that mission took nearly a thousand years between the departure of the first crew, and his comeback to earth? Or have i missed something?
no ur right
@@coenogo They have back. Last shoot shows how technology go further on earth and now they have advanced starships, etc. :p
@@coenogo No because you can see the old Daedalus ship arrive back in Earth orbit in the second to last shot. Then the final shot is the new vessel with the Alcubierre drive
am i the only one thinking that the first thing the astronaunts will feel after waking up from the cryo sleep is an enormous heartbreak knowing that the have outlived all their loved ones including their parents?
Perhaps send the close family, either that or people who were disowned, they probably wouldn't have a connection to earth anyway and would want to leave
Something tells me that there families were on that ship
Eh they're kerbal anyway
Considering the only active building on Earth is the KSC, they probably won't mind as they live and breathe space travel :-)

What an awesome KSP interstellar video, it must be hard keeping track of all those spacecraft. By the way I love the graphics, and what editing software and game version do u use?
I use premiere to edit this video.The game version is 1.7.3. Because of hyperedit, I just need to keep one ship's track. If I keep the track of all those spacecrafts, it would take me two more months to make this vedio.
2:32 if this happen in real life it will go straight into the history book
It would and would most likely happen in the future but the time problem could stop it.
If we sent generation ships like this and get there in 400 years,then humanity in those 400 years could have made faster ships,and beat the previous ships,and make a population of possibly thousands of not millions of people
correction , history holograms LOL
...except people on Earth wouldn't find out till another 400 years later when the ship got back. if it got back.
not exactly "straight into the history book".
I mean... 8.5 centuries round trip ...that would be like if Eric the Red's descendants just now got back to Norway to tell them about Iceland and Greenland.
It would be a newspaper headline (remember those?) but perhaps not for the reason Eric's kin expected...
Radio wave exist no? Maybe we can send information faster than a trip. Maybe quantum teleportation able to send information instantly

There's also a manga with that premise but I forgot the title. Basically, humans sent a colony ship out of curiosity. The colony ship carries frozen embryo which will be thawed when they're within a decade of a habitable planet. However, the donors felt guilty about it, and when FTL was invented decades later, they actually sent FTL terraforming ship to prepare a "habitable world" for the kids to live in.

So 1000 years later they return to earth. Cryosleep, if it ever becomes a reality, would be the most significant change to the way humans think about time and events and would fundamentally change what we care about as a species. Reminds me a lot of altered carbon and stacks.
I imagine we'll achieve relativistic speeds before cryosleep becomes a reality.
There is actually a hard limit on how long you could `freeze` or put someone in suspended animation before latent radiation decay in the cells causes irriversable dna damage. Although I guess if you had tech to freeze people for hundreds of years you probably have tech to regenerate damaged cells.
@@meetoo594 That's what I like to imagine is going on in those sci-fi movies where someone wakes up from cryo and it takes them forever to acclimate. The body is undergoing rapid repairs from nanomachines that were injected into the body before cryosleep.
Achieving relativistic speeds will extend the lifespan of the crew due to time dilation. Also with genetic engineering we can diverge a part our species who are more suited to live in space.
