Colliding Things At Orbital Speeds in Kerbal Space Program
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 พ.ย. 2015
- Colliding two objects in orbit at over ten thousand kilometers per hour is hard to pull off in Kerbal Space Program, in part the instrumentation sucks, but more importantly the physics system uses discrete updates and at high speeds it's common for objects to skip through each other. Mods come to the rescue!
This is partly a response to NerCubed's Insurance Scam
• Nerd³ Challenges... KS...
The fantastic ISS model I used was built by this guy:
• Video - เกม
He says "fly safe" right after giving us a tutorial on how to crash things together in orbit
Yeah but no one died.
R/hmmmm
@@Zurtron No. Not what that subreddit is.
He just likes smashing things up lol.
I feel like this is blursedcomments

-Scott Manley 2015
+Riael EagleEye I think the consensus is that being hard enough is the most important part of the thing.
+Damian Reloaded *sighs*
Don't worry if your rocket is on the small side. It's all about skill.
+CharTheDude No skill will save you if you ain't got a big enough rocket to get the job done...
+Bojan Todorovic I'll bet that's a problem you're experienced with isn't it pal?

*Valentina and the boys
Today in orbit, the *Large Kerbal Hadron Collider* successfully detected the Higgs boson.
Sensi Bleb what an amazing discovery
more like "*Large Kerbron Colider*"
More like large Val, jeb, and bob collider

lmao...a typical docking for me ...

It’s hard if you have that kind of precision
“It’s not a small distance”
Says while travelling at 2km/s
Space is huge. Just because you are going 2km/s doesn’t mean it’s not gonna take time. In terms of space travel, that’s a relatively slow speed
Yeah. I was talking about him saying that a few metres was a big distance.
But yes 2km/s is fairly slow
I had my volume turned all the way up. HULLO IT'S SCOTT MANLEY HERE.
+shirreff gamer Sorry, new computer, mic settings are reset.

heh, to a degree it's a test for your compression/filtering on the voice channel. XD
Me too😅
Yesss that how it be.
i had mine accidently connect to a speaker. the whole house heard lmao
*spends 20 minutes crashing ships into other ships, and at the end* "... and fly safe!" NO, Scott, YOU fly safe :)
Finishes colliding things: "Fly save" .............................................................................. yeeeeeaaaaaaaahhhhh
+firefalljumper are we the only ones who find that funny XD
+dude.geode.miner The likes will show with time
+firefalljumper indeed :-)
+dude.geode.miner I love them too, i'm just late cause scott slowed down my time D:
+Ghost Stinger LOL he has The Power! :-P
Scott Manly: maniacally laughing while blowing up the ISS.
Also Scott Manly: "Fly safe"
Oh Scott, never chance.
15:35
That was a pretty magnificent explosion.
GOD DAM IT SCOTT DO A COLAB WITH NERD CUBED ALREADY
+Andrew DUGUID Dont like the swearing but YES this needs to happen!
+InformalMrTom lol
+InformalMrTom wait what....?
*damn,
a dam blocks water
A damn is the act of damnation
Essentially, you told God to stop/block the collab
Isn't this the plot of Gravity
+Kaemer() this time its intentional
Gravity has a plot?
@@macsmith2013 _Gravity (2013)_ did.
15:30
One of the greatest examples of the Kessler Effect ever virtualized.
I'd love for you to do a bit of ISS exploding to fill the orbit area with debris and do a launch through it. Either as a demonstration of how unlikely it is to hit debris, or as a demonstration of catastrophic failure
I always love how Scott says "Fly Safe" right after he blows something up.
15:55 Have you considered a career in poetry? lol
Sean Bean: Spin carefully you're spinning around on my spinny roundy thingy.
17:40
Jeb is confused.
"What have I done ???"
Scott ,
do a video on orbiting satilites inside the atmosphere.
+Scteam2000 please do
Yes please :D
+Scteam2000 thanks everyone is saying Secret fact : reallife satilites orbit inside the atmosphere but at the thinnest part exoshpere or thermosphere.
+Gaurav Ghosh and ISS is falling right at ur house sherlock
mat liki kasim Yes All satilites up tp 1000,0 km are falling.
This could result in the most boneshattering high five ever.
"Everything just spinning around like some insane spinny roundy thingy." -Scott Manley 15:53 😅 You kill me Scott.
here is a fun challenge for you, now that you've almost completely destroyed the ISS, rebuild it using as much as possible from the original debris orbiting kerbin using KAS or something
yep, exactly my thought. nerdcubed insurance challenge
You tell us to fly safe and just did THIS?! I like you^^
If you look at the behaviour of the remains of the rockets you might be able to proove the existence of short-lived intermediate spaceships. As your final state seems to have missing transverse energy I postulate the existence of mass-less, weak interacting rockets, that are created in the scattering event.
Oh that slowmo mod is brillant! Time to do the rod of the gods again! :D
Scott this was genuinely terrifying. Just imagine something the size of a spaceship leaping out from the darkness of space at 10,000 m/s... *shudder*
Will you actually team up with Nerd³ or will I keep being given nerd blueballs by you two?
+ben dover Dan lives in England. Scott lives in California. Even if the latter didn't have kids, scheduling any team-ups between them would be tricky.
+Timothy McLean no Dan lives in candida. He moved a year ago.
+Callum Smith you mean ashens
+Timothy McLean There is this thing called the internet. It makes that fact less relevent.
***** Not really. Time zones are a bitch.
*crashes spaceship into space station* "Im Scott Manley, fly safe."
-Scott Manley 2015.
Made my day seeing this pop up in my subscriptions. I know I was probably only one of thousands to suggest showing Dan how to do it but still a buzz when you see it. Another excellent video Scott
I had JUST watched Gravity last night...
Awesome, I've been waiting for this video ever since Nerdcubed's attempt!
Scott, could you recreate the maneuvers from The Martian and discuss the feasibility of what they did in the movie, and if it is non-realistic what would need to be done to accomplish something similar?
+joeracer302 from what I've been reading of the making of the Martian, Andy Weir (book author) ran all the orbital math beforehand to make sure his dates, events and manuevers lined up perfectly; so that checks out.
JohnSF93 Actually, after posting this I watched a bunch of other videos and did some reading. I came across the same info as you did, and although I don't know how to check the math myself, it seems that Andy Weir did do the math and it checked out for him at least :)
Still, they would have all died from radiation poisoning :)
Nah, living on mars surface, whilst in a spacesuit, gives you a highly increased risk of cancer, not radiation sickness.
Don't think it would be possible in KSP. The Hermes uses continuously burning ion engines. Good luck getting to mars (RSS) in phisics warp.
@@JohnSF93checks out more-so in the book, they changed a lot for dramatization
>tells you to fly safe
>flies unsafely
That was THE MOST fun that I've had totally nerding out since Street Countdown!
I've been waiting for a video like this👍
Love your content Scott keep it up!!
"Collisions in space are fun!"
"Fly safe."
Hmmm...

No one can hear you commit insurance fraud in space
such beautiful destruction.
*wipes tear from eye*
Thanks Scott!
Could you please use Kerbal Joint Reinforcement and deorbit this station? Your other station deorbit video is one of my favorites!
+The Real Plato Great idea!
"Collisions in space. they are fun! i am scott manley fly safe"
cant say that sounds very safe to me
"I am scott manley, fly safe " lmao
Scott, for New Year's you should make a slo-mo montage of high-speed collisions set to some awesome music.
I love that the serious business thumbnail preview is just a rocket plane tumbling end over end.
wow this is so cool, Scott, can you make a video with more slow-mo collisions (with post processing time acceleration)?
Maybe with some music on the background like you did in that wingsuit video
I was so sure that this was because of NerdCubed, and when you said it, I just laughed so hard at knowing xD
The Kerbal video I never knew I needed to see. :D
I love nerdcubed! Thanks for doing this! :)
"Collisions in space, They are fun. I'm Scot Manley, fly safe"
Impressive! Thanks for the ideas.
"Fly safe" he says.. After telling us how to smash two spaceships together at orbital speeds...
I don't know if "Fly safe" is appropriate for this video
"Explosions don't look like that in space"
Sure, but the ISS is manned, wouldn't the fact that it's manned and filled with oxygen allow for a huge ball of fire?
It would most likely look like the exhaust of a vacuum rocket engine for a very short moment, and the like nothing because the gas is way to spread out to react. Also an explosion needs oxygen and FUEL in order to happen.
@@denyraw the fuel are the people
wow imagine thousands of little space debris going 10kms IRL going the opposite direction of the iss then encountering it then hitting it...
"Collisions are fun! Fly safe!" Wait a second...
Scott, you have just entered the domain of the Nerdcubed.
+mmarlaire that's no longe his theme song, which sucks.
+Bacon CheeseCake
Ok then...
The Nerd who?
+Bacon CheeseCake It'll always be in our hearts.
+SuperSMT THE NERD CUBED! Why? Just cause...3
Thank you Scott, very cool!
everything just flying around spinning around like some insane spiny roundy thingy
+Scott Manley
Y'know, this video was published on my birthday while I was working on my MEng aero thesis in Glasgow University (I'm working on passive satellite stabilisation). Made for a great video to watch, and still topical! (so I counted it as study, haha!) Great upload, thanks very much!
you should start a minmus or duna base series, maybe use some space planes in it too. I think it would be a really cool challenge for you to take on! great video BTW.
Fly safe. LOL! Yeah, good advice after that. :)
That debris cloud was magnificent. Kesslerific.
Always wanted to collide two opposing orbits but never bothered. Thanks for doing it!
Saying fly safe after causing mulitple collisions.
well done!
*Blows up a space station* "Fly safe!"
This is the definition of docking with an engine and not RCS
Let' s see if Sandra Bullock can survive that. 15:25
Love your videos btw!
Are you sure you didn't feel a "woosh" as it went by?
+Ashton Riker (EnderBomber) AIR WOOSH.... IN SPACE!!!!!
Scott felt the wind in his hair.
But this is space
Heh
r/wooosh
"Some insane spinny-roundy thing."
"like a giant space bird. A bird that of course , has been hit by a spacecraft travelling at hundreds of meters per second" -only in KSP
:-D! Love the Evil Scott laugh @ ~15.40.
"Collisions in space: They are fun. Fly safe."
ROFLing at this time! Almost LCOBing but I already went.
:-D!
hi scott... if u remember the docking training. it says that we should turn off the RCS when changing orientation bcos it's sensitive for intersection as it would change ur orbit
Some of the deviation is the game calculating for the mechjeb units location versus the ship center of mass, as you rotate that changes the closest approach number as the MechJeb rotates around the COM. Long ships, one can see the relative speed to target really jump and drop as one rotates the craft to align a port etc. Kinda scary sometimes if one is being a little lazy watching the instruments and glances at the closing rate while the command unit rotates around the COM 'holy crap 8ms! oh, yeah... rotation'.
You made a video where you tried to simulate ring formation (or something similar?) by detaching a lot of decouplers and then time accelerate to see how they spread. Could be fun to make some collisions with some ISS's and then time accelerate a couple of years to see Kerbins new ring system.
Christ this was tedious. God bless you man.
scott:looking at it i'm pretty sure i felt something.me:yeah, it was disappointment.
When I saw your comment on his video, I began praying that you'd do your spin on it!!
I still like how the MechJeb window has 'Smart A.S.S'
Feels so weird watching a launch the other way.
That explosion was insane
Also known as "Kessler Syndrome Simulator 2k16"
I saw you on nerdcubed's channel and hoped that you would expand your comment into a video.
Thanks Scott! I've been wanting to do this, but now I can do something else instead!
Now, orbital High-five!! please scott.
also mickeal bay level explosions!
One heck of a particle collider 😂
Your a mad scientist, I love it.
Dan is probably going to have a fangasm once he watches this 0_0
fly safe made me laugh at the end of that one
I have a challenge for you, I want you to do an equatorial atmospheric survey of Eve with a spaceplane with the goal of circumnavigating Eve at the lowest possible altitude with a manned vehicle and being able to return to orbit.
Hey Scott, have you heard of esa‘s aeolus satellite doing a collision avoidance maneuver?
will you manage a return Gravity style in the imddle of debree with Jebediah?
Oh I LOVE how you say zero, instead of "Zero" you say "Ziroo"
“Fly safe” *rubs hands*
Only Scott Manley gets excited about space collisions
Can you do the same with 90 degrees inclinatin? It would be cool if it hit from the side!
mr. manley, you, sir, are entertaining, you blend physics which can be very complex with humor perfectly :)
do you have a master's degree in physics, or are you just very talented in the field?
and you must have a really good head for math, because kerbal space program requires TONS of math.
He was an astrophysicist.
You must had felt the Micro Gravity Wave as it passed by.
