You are the most satisfying to watch KSP youtuber. Clearly lots of hard work and and quicksaving has been put into your videos, because they're just technically absurd. Keep it up!
I spent quiet a while looking at that screenshot trying to figure out what the mission destination is and my guess was suprisingly accurate , Great video !!
Yeah ,the wings made it pretty obvious that the destination has an atmosphere ,So it was either Eve,Duna,laythe or Jool , Jool was quickly eliminated because it doesnt have an actual surface to land on , On the other hand Dunas atmopshere is too thin making wings impractical , And here is where I got stuck because i couldnt think of anything to knock out Eve or Laythe ...
8:02 - this is exactly the case when it pays to use my EasyBoard mod that allows to grab ladder automatically once kerbal reach it (or to board a command module).
This was one of that hardest points. There was two ways that I matched the dV of the nodes. Most of the time, I deliberately moved the node off of the most efficient timing until the dV matched what I was actually going to get from the burn. When that was not possible, I did what I did here: th-cam.com/video/daR_8KtGq8I/w-d-xo.html and deliberately did some of the burn in the wrong direction.
Bradley Whistance alright so, you can't use the kickback and the other big booster, you also are not allowed to use parachutes when landing on Laythe or Kerbin.
The time spent testing the different stages was significantly greater than the mission itself. With such a big mission, failure is certain if everything isn't planned out ahead of time.
How much does the entire craft cost might I ask? My 1 Kerbal capsule lander using asparagus aerospikes + the launch vehicle cost just over 300,000 units
I've thought about it quite a bit. I can't quite declare it impossible, but there are some challenges that I can't think of a way around. It is possible to get to orbit with an SSTO from the surface, but it takes an extremely dedicated craft that can't deal with the heat on entry, or the control to land safely. If I can come up with a way around those problems I will give it a shot, but don't hold your breath. I'm always up for suggestions/challenges!
The only Eve SSTO i've seen on the forums used the mammoth engine, but I am wondering if the new "vector" engine would actually be better since it has the same efficiency at all altitudes, but you could have more thrust from clustering them, and maybe even have a nuclear engine in the middle for space usage, which you couldn't do with the mammoth EDIT: Also, the extra gimbals could mean you won't need as many control surfaces, and you could use that for some extra wing surfaces. Good Luck!
I've thought of this myself, but the real challenge is how to de orbit a fully fueled, massive, low drag craft without overheating. Any solution I've thought of involves includes the addition of too much weight. It doesn't help that the highest mountain on Eve's ore density is too low for the small drill.
Someone on reddit said the same thing. The original plan was to burn all 8 at once for maximum entertainment for Bill. That turned out to result in uncontrollable torque, so I improvised.
Try Eve and back with a random landing location, or better yet find some flat low land to land on. You're not impressing me with this mountain top landing stuff, however, I find it impressive that you 'can' land on a mountain top with such high gravity. Are you hacking gravity? Landing at 7.5 m/s on a 10 degree slope with no explosions seems a bit dodgy to me. Technically this is a vtol craft when you get to Eve. Right? Did Bill compete in the high-dive event? He should have.
Scott Manley: Moon and back using only SRBs
Bradley Whistance: Hold my beer
Yes
No
Now the moon challenge that Matt Lowne has a bigger brother
S75 did that as well... in real solar system mode. KSP is somehow related to “hold my beer” or “hold my liquid fuel tank” for Kerbals
more like "hold my spacechair"
Drops “cargo” in orbit
Mickey: “it’s a surprise tool that will help us later”
I am LOLing at this
Try docking with only solid rockets
And probably no RCS either?
Hadinos Sanosam RCS are liquid so yes
Done already
@@cloverdove who???
@@Skhillz_FN watch Stratzenblitz75's video of going to the moon and back with SRBs in RSS
I'm not at all sure this series isn't just Bradley Whistance flexing on the entire KSP community
John Maddock agreed
it kinda is
That's one solid video :P
omg
It sure is
The views are SKYROCKETING upwards ;)
holy shit this has to be the most astounding bit of Kerbal wizardry i have ever seen
t
Launching from the launchpad? Madness!
If you put this on reddit I would probably have alot more attention. This mission is nuts.
no ones stopping you =)

In 580 hours , i'd never be able to made an eve and back trip with the same ship... You have all my respect sir!
Amazing.
But technically the EVA pack doesn't use solid fuel...
SHHHHHH
Eh. I think it would be worth mentioning the EVA pack if he'd used it for course corrections.
I think transferring with the eva pack is fair use. I deliberately got a close rendezvous before doing a eva transfer as to not abuse it.
People like you like to watch the world burn.
He was wearing it already when the liquid fuel engines were blown up
Now EVA suits carry parachutes lol
Last video: We got Robotug back from Eve.
The very next video: Robotug is stuck on Eve again.
You did that on purpose didn't you.
Dude you put the word skillfully proficient to a whole other level.

Oh my god, you are inhumanely skilled at this game
always a pleasure to watch your videos :D

Was it the wings?
Yeah ,the wings made it pretty obvious that the destination has an atmosphere ,So it was either Eve,Duna,laythe or Jool , Jool was quickly eliminated because it doesnt have an actual surface to land on , On the other hand Dunas atmopshere is too thin making wings impractical , And here is where I got stuck because i couldnt think of anything to knock out Eve or Laythe ...

These videos are my motivational mixtape. ;)
Edit: ...even when Bill hits the water at 99mph! XD
Legendary. Well done.
okay just, how the absolute fuck. first of all, how did all of your fuel exactly match your nodes, second, what. how. what.
This was one of that hardest points. There was two ways that I matched the dV of the nodes. Most of the time, I deliberately moved the node off of the most efficient timing until the dV matched what I was actually going to get from the burn. When that was not possible, I did what I did here: th-cam.com/video/daR_8KtGq8I/w-d-xo.html
and deliberately did some of the burn in the wrong direction.
Bradley Whistance
...wow
amazing
Bradley Whistance you should do the Laythe challange, it's the same thing only to Laythe
It wouldn't be anywhere near as challenging on Laythe. I would have to add some other condition to make it push the limits.
Bradley Whistance alright so, you can't use the kickback and the other big booster, you also are not allowed to use parachutes when landing on Laythe or Kerbin.
An permanant Eve base? Hmmmm... sounds cool.
I'm going to try and make a bop base now.
That was INSANELY cool!!!!!!!
7:30 Where we could be llamas instead
Llama Glama!
12:25 Bill decided his only option was to bail out sans parachute
It's the punny skeleton!
That was amazing work. How much pen and paper did it take (if any)?
It took a great deal of dV calculation and testing if that is what you mean.
Bradley Whistance Yes, it's what I meant. It probably takes calculation to predict the Delta-v needed for a maneuver when engines cannot be stopped.
The time spent testing the different stages was significantly greater than the mission itself. With such a big mission, failure is certain if everything isn't planned out ahead of time.
I wonder how many times do you have to qucksave and quickload during these missions...
Awesome as usually:)
How do the separatron arrays work? Are they just stacks of them pointed radially? Excellent video!
Ksp:we have kickback engines,they can be used as an ssto
Make a Jool 5 on SRB's only.
5:12 lol the "fore"
Well, there you have it.
Why was it necessary to separate robotug before departing kerbin, would the transfer burns not work otherwise?
Mostly did it for kicks if I recall correctly.
👌 nice

SANNNNNEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSS
marvelous!!
this is probably the best mission in ksp
Robotug is my spirit animal
poor robotug got left in eve orbit... time for a rescue mission!
is that matt lowne i see in the distance
This is great :)
5:18 Ange of attack
Wow, that's a seriously cheap Eve mission. Fucking fantastic work.
solid fuel may be cheap, but it's a lot cheaper to use other fuel and minimize mass
How much does the entire craft cost might I ask?
My 1 Kerbal capsule lander using asparagus aerospikes + the launch vehicle cost just over 300,000 units
RIP PRINCE

Eve Base you say? Foreshadowing???????
I think you're under challenged. Have you been working on an Eve SSTO yet? Or are you certain it is impossible?
I've thought about it quite a bit. I can't quite declare it impossible, but there are some challenges that I can't think of a way around. It is possible to get to orbit with an SSTO from the surface, but it takes an extremely dedicated craft that can't deal with the heat on entry, or the control to land safely.

Ooooh, and what's with that cute robotug??
You know, you could have used thrust limiters instead of burning the sepratrons in pairs. Or you could have done both.
Someone on reddit said the same thing. The original plan was to burn all 8 at once for maximum entertainment for Bill. That turned out to result in uncontrollable torque, so I improvised.
How the heck?
You're really damn funny x
Reusable rocket with only solid rocket fuel?
I'll have a go at that
Working on it
wow
HOW?!
I'm surprised this video doesn't have more unlikes, the Flat Kerbin Party has a lot more TH-cam accounts than you'd expect.
caden carter Most Flat-Kerbiners don't believe in TH-cam
caden carter dislikes not unlikes

Here have a sub
see ignorance does cause damage
Well, Jool V is harder actually
kPhone… No one on Kerbin uses a kPhone… It's all about Kamsung.
I like koogle pixel phones get rekked
Wall-e? I prefer Robotug.
dude. putting "plese subscribe to my channel on the signs?! just, what?!?!
Thats the name of the mountain. Can't make this stuff up you know.
but, still, it's kinda like, you know, kinda, in a way, greedy
well, I thought and think it was funny. that being said, greedy? I make these videos for free because I enjoy it, and hope the community enjoys it.
It's like asking to subscribe as many others do, except in a subtle and, to me, funny way. Perhaps less greedy than asking directly?
