It's still absurd to see that gigantic Christmas tree to pluto sized rocket is needed. I see you have optimized the Apollo^2 part as well. Crew station, Vasimr flowers, and graceful shuttle saturn V! Great video as always!
Yup. Finally a "reasonable" use! Definitely wanted to make the Apollo^2 part more interesting instead of a copy paste, and who knows how large it would be without it! Glad you enjoyed it :)
Just why using chemical rocket doing interstellar travel is completly, entirely, absolutely, definitly, ridiculous, ludicrously, hilariously, and insanely. TD have proved to us for once and more time, and he will continuing to prove it with his surrealistic works.
Seeing the giant rocket nozzle blocking out the sun over the VAB just hovering there ominously, and then firing up and vaporizing the entire complex and the surrounding area like a nuclear bomb made me laugh out loud.
i have made orbit in rss a few times, once i even tried to send a impactor to the moon but couldn't get to the plane of the moon because mechjeb was thinking i didn't have the dv when i did, just to test it i tried it with a 27 kilo payload and it still didn't work.
As someone who got this video randomly recommended to me months ago, I can’t get over my first time experience of watching TD wasting ZERO TIME with less than a minute into the video showing off a mountain sized rocket as if I’m supposed to know why it’s that absurdly large in the first place, I didn’t realize it was part of a series or that it was nearly that difficult to get to the moon and back in the first place so my confusion and excitement was at all time peak, also if there was any testament to how much better ksp 1 is to ksp 2 this videos very existence is proof enough, you probably couldn’t recreate this on three nasa computers in ksp 2
I doubt you will see this but I would love to see how you would go about making a fully reusable Soyuz style rocket similar to your Saturn infinity rocket.
At some iteration, it will simply become a space elevator to the moon, since the height of the rocket will be greater than the distance from the earth to the moon 🤣
Welp there goes another Kennedy Space Center. Viewer's are crazy AF for this one. But I'm going to go out on a limb here and say now it's time to do 4 landings.
61 seadragon main engines... "Its not much thrust"
I was gonna say the same thing
And then the Saturn 5 turned itself into a spaceplane, funniest shit I ever seen
And then it started drifting!

How ridiculous are these KSP rockets gonna get. You’re smashing world records man! I dunno if the Kraken likes it anymore

Imagine having to make sure there aren’t any fuel leaks anywhere in that multi kilometer tall stack lol
Fuel leaks don’t matter. They leak and infinitesimal amount compared to the fuel tank size

it’s solid fuel so no high pressure.

bro gonna make a rocket the size of the earth 💀
@@fwdgd Easy way to get to the moon is making a rocket thats already as tall as its orbit
yea that'd just be a fucking space elevator
it would be 10,000,000,000,000x heavier than earth

but considering my options on what to do next, we should do mars squared, let us see how big it gets now! >:3
For reference, 6.4 billion tons is more than 100 times the weight of the Great Wall of China, which is currently the heaviest man-made object.
MAN made because your grandmother made the heaviest human made opject
Im joking no disrespect to your mother
Last year: apollo squared.
Now: cubed.
That is an increase of one power per year, thus, next year ⁴, then ⁵ then ⁶...
His great great great grandchildren will be doing Apollo 16286543
ok, at this point the apollo^4 launch vehicle will be tall enough to straight up touch the moon...
I love the fact that part of the rocket it cubed. :)

the first part is not very heavy when there's no fuel
depends

Now we need Apollo^4
i cant imagine how much lag you had to suffer through, how long did the final launch take to actually complete?
The initial launch wasn't too bad, maybe 30 minutes or so. In reality it took longer than that due to many kraken attacks and re-launches.
Triple nice!
With that amount of thrust you can push the Earth directly into the Moon
I don’t know what’s more impressive.
The fact that he went to the moon and back 3 times, or the fact that the giant launch vehicle held together.
everyone: lets make a efficient rocket stage.
TD: haha big engines go BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
That was amazing well done!
a part of florida just got annihilated
A part?! I'm in WV and after that launch I can smell burnt gators,"smells like chicken".
Apollo^4 when?
Why does my brain think that the fact that the second landing took 1 year was the most outrageous part of the entire mission
A normal ohio launch.
Appolo2:oh okay, whery cool
Appolo3:apocalypse class nuke
Appol04:☠️
Appol04 you use a small ladder on top of the rocket you are already in space 🤣
this is insanely cool!

how to cause a mass extinction event with every launch

You made a rocket the size of the *CHICXULUB ASTEROID,* which is the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs, it is 15 kilometers wide.
**Stage Milestones**
1:36 - STAGE 1 (100 TN Thrust, *6.4 GIGATONS* *(12.8 TRILLION pounds))*

Also, for reference, Stage 1 has over *10 BILLION TONS* of thrust, all from that one humongous SRB.
That is over 150x the power of the Tsar Bomba, the largest bomb ever detonated.
With a rocket that tall you can just take an elevator to space.

At least by the time you get to Apollo^5 you probably won't have to launch as the tip of will already be at the moon
Next you should just move the moon to a lower orbit so it's easier to get to! I'm sure that won't cause any issues on Earth 😏
