KSP: a SEA LAUNCHED Moon Rocket!

  • Today I launch an Apollo-Style moon lander from a ship in the ocean! A Sea Launch, if you will! Given SpaceX's Starship Sea Launch plans, and China's recent Long March 11 Ocean Launch, I thought this would be a fun challenge!

    You say the boat was slow, but still it’s top speed was 126 km/h or 35 m/s. Do I need to say that’s extremely fast for a ship?

    • @Itszz.christian
      @Itszz.christian ปีที่แล้ว +10

      that's the speed a top end speedboat would go, it was going 80 mph or 126 km/h like you said. pretty insane speeds for a ship carrying a whole rocket.

    • @dieleg
      @dieleg 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      68 knots, a ship as heavy as that would most likely have a top speed of 16 knots if not probably lower

  • @radicalgale
    @radicalgale 3 ปีที่แล้ว +73

    I think the reason the boat was turning left is the cockpit tower made out of lifting surfaces. I'm not sure why it would provide so much drag, though.

      @eekee6034 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      There's also its mass. I added a small spotlight about 30cm off-center within a bay on a 10-ton spaceplane, and the plane kept rolling to that side. However, that was repeatable and this isn't, so I don't know!

    1. Not enough fuel, stuck in a mun orbit
    2. Found out 50/ms is not a good landing speed
    3. Tipped after landing, lost parachute
    4. Forgot heat shield, burnt up in kerbins atmosphere
    5. Forgot to actually do experiments
    And on the sixth I discovered quicksaving
