@@aasquared8191 well back in the days the Lunar Excursion Vehicle and apollo capsule costed billions because it had a half billion dollar computer plus more millions in space lunar suits and a few more millions on the transfer stage engine, you can get a better and smaller computer that does all the apollo math for a few cents nowadays so i would say that if an identical replica of the LEM was built nowadays it would only cost a few millions
wow 1969 they used one saturn 5.. In 2018you would need 2 falcon heavy, one falcon 9 to do the same job. thats some steps backwards, not forward. Regardless, nice demonstration
Reaching1 Being able to do it cheaper and more efficiently is a step forward. Using multiple smaller vehicles instead of one large vehicle does not imply less capability. If anything, it allows larger-scale missions to be planned that would not be possible with just one large vehicle. And let’s not forget that the SpaceX rockets have many other uses besides manned missions that a larger vehicle would be overkill for (satellites, ferrying cargo / humans back and forth to a space station, etc)
@@Reaching1 1.1 billion dollars (2016) for the Saturn 5 per launch Vs 242 million for the space x for all 3 launches together. So you got 768 million dollars for everything else... Est 500 million additional for everything else (over kill) and boom your still got 268 million kicking around In all its massively cheaper and more efficient.
I did not like the first one, because I find all these "epic" pieces to be really cheap and cheesy, however the Rocket Man was a great choice IMO. The whole video was spectacular regardless the music though. :) Superb editing.
This is a really cool concept for a moon mission. The reusability and use of transfer stages and things like that would make this a lot cheaper that a saturn five. Great work!

OK dude. Not only your performance as a rocket guy is amazing, but it is also one of the best editing i've seen in a while. Great choice of music as well. YOU DESERVE BETTER! See you around!
The attention to detail in this is pretty impressive. You even had the reaction thrusters in order to ensure vacuum stage startup. Never would’ve expected you to include that until I saw it lol nice job
Wow that was really impressive. Nice idea, good rocket design, great execution through well programmed KOS and attention to detail (lite up 3 engines for landing) although I don't think spaceX uses dropping nozzle extensions I think it's a great idea (didn't know there's a mod that includes them), also great camera work and editing (I hope you don't get in trouble for the music you used). Subbed
Yep, what Lexi said, I just can't monetize the video. I'm happy you liked the video, the engine with the extending nozzle is from one of the Realism Overhaul mods (SSTU I think...) and it's supposed to be the RL10B-2 which is actually used today on the upper stages of the Delta IV rocket, including the extending nozzle.
SpaceX has already cancelled the red dragon and just about everything else not BFR. This is causing a lot of friction with NASA, who are not BFR believers yet.
Dr. Know they canceled it because NASA refuses to support it. They've dug in about SLS, so no real reason to jump through the hoops for man rating on heavy. I'm sure if you want to fund it, they'd be happy to put this mission together for you.
Nessus i love the music of the spaceX falcon heavy the only thing i dont know about it is that i dont know the name of the music but i lovee this video and the music of course keep up good work!:) the music of the falcon heavy was so good:)i subscribed and hit the notifications on:)
Indeed it is awesome to see what the Falcons are capable of doing. And, you did quite an amazing job at launching, designing and capturing the missions! Great to see these great video's about space.
If Elon was doing it, you could dismiss the margins, so the cost would be much less than that :) The most expensive part would probably be the lander R&D.
"Am I talking to Mr Nessus? Hi, Elon Musk here. So, you've got this idea and I'd really like to use it. How much are you asking?" Seriously, this is a great idea and fairly practical too. I'm sure AJR wouldn't hesitate to sell SpaceX a job lot of RL-10B-2s for the Earth escape stages and, let's face it, we know how to build lunar landers. The only thing that would need to be done is the service/propulsion module for Dragon-2 to use in LOI and ROI. Obviously, having one launch to LMO lander means that you can also use this to deliver a precursor cargo mission to the landing site to carry more consumables, a rover and more experiments. A fifth launch could carry a Cargo Dragon-derived crew habitat to further increase surface endurance. The relative cheapness of using the modern RLV in place of expendable giants like Saturn-V and Ares-V makes more elaborate mission plans far less costly. Nice work, ESPECIALLY on the kOS scripting for booster recovery. I'm betting you'll get a lot of requests to put that on a download page. However, I'd like to know where you got the model of Of Course I Still Love You.
At 03:59 , for ocean landing boosters follow a semi- circle path so they didn't need to flip back as shown in video after separation . Correct me if I am wrong .😄😄
These 2 droneships are right next to where they started because SpaceX (currently) only ones one launchside with 2 landing pads. Not if they would do something like that they'd probably build a new landing pad.
