Does anyone else here get serious anxious whenever the solar panels are extended but there are things moving around? (e.g. Docking components, landing on surface) Seriously impressive stuff as usual, by the way!
When I land my ships on Mun or Minmus, I always fear that I lose control of the Kerbal going on EVA and that it slams into a solar panel or two while I attempt to regain control on his RCS jet pack... Happened several times, whereever I put the solar panels on the ship, there is always one that is destroyed by a lose Kerbal on RCS...
This video is what I showed to my girlfriend that finally made KSP "click" to her - she gets it now. Thank you so much for the ridiculous space magic set to good music.
I remember when people were extremely impressed with tavert's 12.7 ton Eve mission years ago, and to see this makes me realize just how far we have come with KSP.
Robotug is a OKTO2 Probe Core, a docking port, a battery and a solar panel yes? The engines and tanks seem to be reconfigurable. He's fairly adaptable!
These videos always give me a good laugh. Always waiting for the next Bradley Whistance video. Are you going to involve Kim Kon Kjun in a future video?
Bradley Whistance I have found a BIG RED BUTTON... (basically Kim the Korean, isn't as scientifically illiterate as Donald the USAN. Maybe another lap with the flatkerbists?)
It may be 5 AM, but I had to watch this. If your videos were any more of a national treasure, you'd be fighting off Nicholas Cage. Keep up the good work!
God do i like the music, im usually à more edm and rap type guy and would force myself to listen to classical music for some reason, but you sir, youknow thy music, tis à Good taste. good day to you sir. (walks away with à monocle creeping back to bed shedding tears as he watches his ksp vidéos with great music That brings him comfort knowing That some People still know the Earth is à Good ol marble)
I literally have no words to describe how amazing this is. My lowest mass mission to Eve involved a three core 2.5 meter rocket with a large upper stage, two one hundred meter long motherships with their own huge launch vehicles, and a nerva powered transfer ship. Granted, it carried five Kerbals though... Great job as usual, I believe this is a world record!
Turbo Pumped's mind blowing minimalist missions were a inspiration for this. If I have reached farther than him, it is only because I have stood on his shoulders.
Man what a wonderful video!! Absolutely AMAZING!! Plus I must say here in czech we have such a great orchestra and when combined with Beethovet the music is just butter. GREAT JOB MAN!
They don't ignore heating, but the heating is very favourable as long as the Kerbal isn't at the front. This is why the descent chair is balanced to keep the Oscar tank in front of BIll.
Bradley Whistance thanks for the response, I am definitely going to try something like this, although maybe not to Eve! By the way this last couple of videos showed me that the ant engine is actually useful so thanks for that too!
@@santiagob.1071 It is useful a lot. It packs a ton of deltaV for small-mid size satellites when compared to other engines. It wont get them moving quick but itll get the job done
Kerbal Engineer mod helps by showing everything like apoapsis height so hr doesn't need the map for circularisation. Apart from that I guess he cuts out the maneuvers cuz it's pretty boring to watch someone tweak that.
@@KageTheDanish yeah, it's pretty annoying at the beginning. Basically, use as little parts as possible, try to keep an aerodynamic profile and always put fins at the bottom of your ship. Make 2 stages, put 2-4 solid boosters on the bottom and the swivel engine. Make the top stage with only 1 fuel tank and the most efficient engine you have. Lastly, when coming back only peek into the atmosphere, and make sure your craft is as small as possible. Good luck!
in watching the tiny spark boosters used to ascend from Eve, I thought to myself... *Does Robotug have family? What if that had been his family?* And thus sadness overwhelmed me, but also joy. Joy at the dedication, bravery and exemplary virtue Robotug displayed this day. Robotug, I salute you!
well robotug does not have a permanent physical manifestation, the fuel was simply a temporary vessel for his conscience. so no his family were not the other oscar fuel tanks. the tank used as manifestation however...

You know it's a janky mission when you have to circularize using the EVA pack.
It is janky if the bailout is unplanned. It is _mission planning_ if it is a part of the mission.
So it wasn't a janky mission?
No, it was very certainly janky as f***

"TI-87 silver edition" confirmed the next generation graphing calculator to come with KSP installed.
"Matt Lowne's criticism and abuse" knew he seemed suspiciously friendly on the surface...
Matt stranded bill on eeloo.
If Matt wanted to kill Bill, he would have tossed him into jool on that same craft land leave robotug to replace him

This almost qualifies for the "eve on oscar-b" forum challenge.
Why doesn't it qualify???
Capitão Explosão the craft has at least one xenon tank.

Absolutely.
thankfully i live in australia, so it's only 9:30pm as i finish watching this.
Well You beat what I was working on :( ,
Was it a propeller approach? I tried that, but I couldn't make it compact enough to orbit Kerbin efficiently.
My jaw dropped to the floor... The most minimalist setup I've ever seen... Well done.
Such an elegant and perfect mission, well done Bradley!
I can only imagine how much time the whole mission took. And everything condensed into less than 30 min for us! Such dedication.
The ending, bgm, and the whole storyline is perfect. Literally.
This is insane ! So much creativity and intelligence... Brilliant !
We are lucky Robotug hasn't tried to kill Bill yet, let's hope there won't ever be a Robotug 9000 version of it...

that pretty much tops the 2,9 ton rocket "Turbo Pumped" took to Gilly
Stefan Nilsson UMAD TurboPumped!?!?
Or the 3.6 ton Hazardish rocket to Eeloo
Not quite, they're on the same level -ish. I still vote for brad though
Turbo Pumped's mind blowing minimalist missions were a inspiration for this. If I have reached farther than him, it is only because I have stood on his shoulders.
"Inspiring quotes by brad". Could we have a video series on that?
You're so incredibly patient with these missions, amazing feat!
Master level work here! Really enjoyed watching, really well done cinematic scenes!

Do kerbals sitting on chairs ignore rentry heating? Every time I take one out of a capsule it overheats like crazy. Nice video thanks for sharing.
They don't ignore heating, but the heating is very favourable as long as the Kerbal isn't at the front. This is why the descent chair is balanced to keep the Oscar tank in front of BIll.

Tian Cilliers whenever someone says that others try to prove him wrong. There is no limit (except for game crashes and kraken).

A Chinese user landed on Eeloo and Moho with an LF SSTO. That would be conparable to this video.
Honestly this is the most INCREDIBLE KSP video I have ever seen.

Wow, more patience in this video than I've had in my 1000 + hours of KSP combined. Awesome job, and I love the storyline too. Such well done videos

Loved the idea of robotug having feelings.
