5 RPM is one rotation every 12 seconds, or about 0.261 radians per second. Your ring looks to be about 5 metres in radius (1.25 for the mk2 cabin on the edge, +2.5 for the Mk1 cabin connecting tube, + 0.625 for the structural tube, + 0.625 for half the radius of a 1.25m rotor.) I had to google the formula for centripetal acceleration, but Google tells me it’s = rω^2. Putting the numbers I got into that formula tells me your ring, at the minimum speed allowed by those rotors, is experiencing ~0.34 m/s^2. Less than a twenty-fifth of a gee, roughly equivalent to standing on Pol. Still like seven times stronger than Gilly, though I doubt any of these will help much with your Kerbal’s bones. My point with all this is to say that the Breaking Ground robotics are not too fast to allow for artificial gravity rings. I’d suggest running these particular rings at 15 RPM, which would give your Kerbals only a little less than a third of Kerbin’s gravity (3.08 m/s^2) to deal with. EDIT: Ew, Matt, are those confetti fairings? Disgusting.
The problem is that humans can sense the fact they’re spinning at speeds like that. It makes you incredibly nauseous. The issue isn’t in making gravity in that way, it’s making gravity in a way that won’t immediately make you blow space chunks.
With the scale those rings are at, you would actually want slightly faster revolution. Even with a roughly 30-40m radius ring, you'd want them going at about 60 rpm to be roughly the acceleration of gravity on Kerbin, and even if you were okay with just Minmus, at that size, you'd need at least 12 rpm because the force is inversely proportional to the square of the time it takes to go around the center
Matt: so without the gravity rings the Kerbals could go blind. *nevermind the fact that they are being sent so close to the sun and may go blind from existing
I'd love to make more Stratzenblitz scale videos, but I've got a 3 video per week obligation to the algorithm™, and I have a 8-6 Mon-Fri job as it is 😔
Hi, so I did the math and for kerbals to feel the same force as in kerbin the circle should have a radius of 37 m (for 5rpm) It might be cool to make a space station that big.
your docking method is exactly how I learned to do it back in 2013, setting nodes as target and getting the focus centered, might have been onsolthree that taught me that
As a "Boomer", it makes me so happy to know younger generations are growing up with games like this that have such precision required.

My god, your docking method is fantastic, and I can't believe it never occured to me somehow I'd been going towards the target, cancelling relative velocity every so often, and repeating. I also carved arrows into my RCS keys

Those already had eyes on their foreheads: - Are you serious? There is also a huge temperature! We're going to die! - In the Central Committee, too, not fools sit ... fly at night.
"Sun" is more a description of a star with planets, if we were a multi star species we probably name in everyday language the star in the sky sun, wherever we are, but in travel or science the stars would be named by their scientific name. Just like Kerbol would be the scientific name of the star and the Sun just the name for it in its planet system.

Loved it.. I recently sent a probe in close Sun orbit and for once forbade myself to watch any KSP Sun video beforehand, to be the pioneer of my own experience. I'm sad to admit I didn't think about raising the Apo first to save Delta-V. That makes sense! I burnt some 6km/s retrograde to get the periapsis down to just under 1M.
I love how your response to unneeded kerbals is send them to deep space and never think of them again.
You could have just made them a land base near the KSC, or save edited them out of you roster if you really wanted to, but no, depp space for the rest of their existance.
This is awesome
