Funny, I recently had a Kerbal stranded on the Mun. I sent an "unmanned" vessel to pick Jeb up, but by the time I got there I forgot to remove Valentina, and that vessel got stranded on the Mun too so now I had two stranded Kerbals. Sent a second vessel that was able to pick them up but ran out of fuel in high Kerbin orbit. Sent a third vessel, rendezvoused, and successfully landed back on Kerbin safely. With my beginner-tier skills, it was quite the mission.
Mechjeb helps if you get it. You press a button and it can put you into orbit in a few minutes automatically, use RCS thrusters to automatically rendezvous with a docking port, or even land your plane for you (success isn't a guarantee, it can just smash directly into the side of the SPH or back of the runway)
For all of those raging to know, the mass of the craft seems about ~207.23264973422412671585755748691 metric tons. (Though with the thrust of the rapier varying this is hard to tell.) This was found using the engines, their thrust, the TWR of the craft, and the gravity of kerbin. First, he had 12 rapier engines on the craft, giving ~1260000 Newtons thrust. We can see that his TWR was ~.62 to start with so we use w=t/twr, substitute in w=1260000/.62 to get a weight of 2032258 newtons. Now we use m=w/g to get our mass, so m=2032258./9.80665 gives us 207232.64315540984943890115380889 kg. Or for when he gets out of the atmosphere (keep in mind this will be lower due to fuel burnt): This is easier due to the lack of atmosphere, but we do have the issue of lowered gravity. Newton's universal law of gravitation is 6.67*10^-11*m_1*m_2/r^2. This shows that gravity falls off with inverse square. So we find our new altitude 84363 m, and we add it to surface and divide by normal surface level, 684363/600000=1.140605 Now we square that, 1.300979766025 and take g and divide by that, 9.80665/1.300979766025=7.53 newtons. Now we just run our previous algorithm m=F/twr/g, gives us 138430.973235 kg, or 138.430973235 metric tons.
"Interplanetary Rescue!" Can you launch the next rescue missions from the Island Runway, and pretend it's a private villa in the middle of the Pacific?
your rescuing other peoples kerbals? lets see if you can do this... *Begins mission to strand Valentina and Jedidiah on laythe underneath a submarine with no electric charge or fuel and "accidently" crack Valentina's helmet*
As someone who has not gotten this game yet, I really enjoy your videos and I love this series and the interaction with the community. Kep up the amazing work!
How about you take on rescuing Northernlion's missions, Jeb and a new pilot Danke are stranded on the Mun, Danke is locked in his pod because NL placed a ladder on the door. Valentina is also marooned in orbit around the sun, Good Luck
it baffles me how somebody can do orbits so well.... i cant even follow to "to the mun part 1" training scenario without getting lost as soon as it comes to adding a manouver. i just cant wrap my head around it
how to get to the mun without setting up maneuverer nodes: if you dont want to get to orbit before going to the mun launch when the mun is coming up over the eastern horizon and pitch east, then once outside the atmosphere perform a small burn to put yourself on the trajectory, once at the mun do the same in reverse and the exact same thing to get back to kerbin (if you do want to go into orbit, head east wait until the mun is over the horizon and then do everything else from there)

We sensible people keep the people who want to have sex with a skeleton. However, this man isn’t one of them, he actually made a good dialogue based on the characters.
I think what you were trying to explain was the point of pivot. If you wanna "Git Guud" at taking off, make sure you put your wheels between the center of mass and edge of the wing. The closer your wheels are to the edge off your center of mass, the easier it will be to take off. (Just remember to take into account where you center of mass is when empty). Get your pivot point right, and taking off with planes is EASY is cake
There is one slight problem with this, however: if you try to design a realistic plane in KSP, half of your flights will end with a tail strike. Uless you are playing with a yoke, ut I doubt many people play KSP with a yoke... Ths isn't flight simulator, after all.
I've designed all manner of planes in KSP, realistic looking, klingon looking, reversed wings... 30 ton VTOLs - doesn't really matter... if you wanna make a plane in KSP or anywhere, you need to design with the point of pivot in mind, otherwise your plane aint gonna take off until it runs out the runway, and is gonna nose dive when it comes in to land. Aeroplane design isn't rocket science ( Ha! see what i did there) Take a ruler, put it on you finger, in the middle is the center of mass, and your finger is the wheels, the further back you move you finger, the more force you need to put on the ruler to keep it on your finger. at the tip, you need an infinite amount of force... "ruler" of thumb, put your wheels 2/3 - 3/4 along the fuse.
Hey Matt, the RCS build aid mod gives you the dry center of mass in the editor for building spaceplanes, which has saved me loads of time when designing SSTOs. That way, you don't have to empty the tanks.
Lol, was super happy with myself of managing a mun misssion with no cheats and limited tech in career mode yesterday, then watch a Matt video and realise I'm basically an infant XD
Sooooo, last night I managed to do a great Minmus science mission and on my way back I had an encounter with the mun... I shouldn't have landed... I kinda missed my suicide burn by like 10 meters and slammed down on the mun so hard that my terrier broke. Watching this clip to plan my mun rescue tonight and recover all the "lost" science. hahahaha Thanks for great videos, keep em coming!
I once took 7 hours to save a kerbal because I forgot a decouple between the engines and the rest of the ship. I was an idiot so I landed my kerbal on the moon using all of my fuel and his Eva pack, and then landed a new craft closeby, before walking 3 KM manually, and then launching and reverting a billion times. It was stressful, but I made it.
a small suggestion for a video, make a montage of small planes launching missiles and bombs made from fuel tanks and solid rocket boosters on kerbin at various targets (such as rovers and random kerbals or structures, or pretty much anything)
Well in my game, Jeb is currently adrift in deep space. He’s been out there for about a year now. Probably died of starvation. I lost contact with him after he escaped the solar system with just a command pod
Matt’s SSTO: liftoff, escape kerbin, kerbin orbit, escape trajectory out of kerbin, approaching mun, mun orbit, mun landing, save jebediah Kerman, mun liftoff, escape mun, mun orbit, escape trajectory out of mun, approaching kerbin, kerbin orbit, re-entry, landing. My SSTO: liftoff, engine explodes because it was slightly touching the ground,crashes in ocean. Or liftoff, go around kerbin, tries to land, wheels explode even with 18375936273940471628394735273859626E+ 326426 parachutes.
"In which me and a bunch of other users built a station around the Mun." You forgot to mention that a certain someone built a module to "hug" and deorbit the station into the Mun.
This is such a great series, it's really cool that you are giving back to the community like this. I gotta strand a kerbal somewhere and start a something account so maybe one day you will help me lol
Hey Matt you should do a Duna Indirect Mission...use ISRU on Minmus to collect fuel for a Minmus to Duna transport vessel...just an idea that would be an epic infrastructure build up...Godspeed and good luck...
This? This is what rescue contracts in career wanted to be :) I'll point out that, in order to do a career mission with this craft you need a few billion points of science, so, you know, there's that :P
Well the thunderbirds were way older (in fact puppets were use in the original thunderbirds) and I think that blunderbirds is the inspired by the thunderbirds
So Jebediah is the pilot and it says Jebediah and scrap team of carbinol so that means Bill and Bob need to rescue him engineers and scientists so they can’t drive the plane so they need help from Valentina to help them

I sent an "unmanned" vessel to pick Jeb up, but by the time I got there I forgot to remove Valentina, and that vessel got stranded on the Mun too so now I had two stranded Kerbals. Sent a second vessel that was able to pick them up but ran out of fuel in high Kerbin orbit. Sent a third vessel, rendezvoused, and successfully landed back on Kerbin safely.
With my beginner-tier skills, it was quite the mission.
U must get a better rocket and mechjeb so u can see ur fuel okay
Never in my life have a heard of a more KSP story.
I call myself a beginner and I did not even get one Kerbal on the mun yet. Just a couple ones in a orbit around the sun.
Now that's commitment
Valentina is stranded in Mun, and bill is stranded in low orbit of Mun, triying to scape of Mun.
Time to get a full mk3 crew cabin stuck in the mohole under the ruins of an interplanetary mothership
I Can't Believe It's Not ButterSquids!
I'm building an interplanetary ship with a mk3 cockpit too!
Little Kitty Crafter i think he ment the passenger bay
😬
Matt, you dubious space genius! The eagle-eyed among us noticed that highly inefficient mun launch! You won't convince us it was done on purpose!
It was done on purpose! I am not being paid to say this but it was on purpose!
a-a-a-a-amon-mon-mon-gu-gus

i like how you send an ssto to the mun with no problem while i cant even get a plane in orbit
KayaGekkie try having jet engines and a rocket as well because jet engines dont work without air
KayaGekkie if you have afterburning engines toggle mode to wet as well which is the afterburner, gives some speed too
Mechjeb helps if you get it. You press a button and it can put you into orbit in a few minutes automatically, use RCS thrusters to automatically rendezvous with a docking port, or even land your plane for you (success isn't a guarantee, it can just smash directly into the side of the SPH or back of the runway)
Can't even get a plane off the runway personally lol
KayaGekkie I can’t even land on mun normally
Me: finally lands on mun
Somewhere in the distance: *ON A LONELY PLANET...*
The funny thing is the two dots above the U in Mun makes the U make a "oo" sound, so you're still landing on the Moon.

oh no i cant read this my brain hurts
Too. Much. Maaaatttthhhh... *Ded*
There was an Eclipse visible at 4:56 . There was a shadow on the Kerbin XD
William Widjaja there was 😂
Lol
Got to hand it to you fam. You pay attention to detail.
There was another eclipse at 12:48 but it only lasted about 1/10th of a second because he was time warping :)
I thought it was very hard to spot the eclipse at 12:48. Obviously, as you say, due to time warp :V
Like button smashed my friend! :P
In a parallel universe far far way...
yes this is a video like button smash yes

please god im begging you please put a comma after smashed
They ment that they smashed the like button and they said my friend they just didn`t put a comma

We sensible people keep the people who want to have sex with a skeleton. However, this man isn’t one of them, he actually made a good dialogue based on the characters.
you have until MUN-day to stop
MATT YOU DASHING GLASSES-REPAIRING ROGUE! You said that Jeb and his team was going to save the vessel, but HE HIMSELF IS ON THE MUN! EXPLAIN YOURSELF!
He hacked a wii remote to control the vessel
His team duh
its his long lost brother from the other side of the world
Damn NASA take notes on that space shuttle
I think what you were trying to explain was the point of pivot. If you wanna "Git Guud" at taking off, make sure you put your wheels between the center of mass and edge of the wing.

Video: THE BLUNDERBIRDS!!!
Me: Spits water across the room.
When Matt says "I got u fam"to your post which features a craft that is stranded
*ACHIVEMENT* *UNLOCKED*
Yes! Hurray. Best ksp series right now
The old 1920s film reel style was great!
I just made my first mun landing, my way to get back was to build an accent stage, dont always use the same rocket for landing AND take-off!
“I got u fam”
*You knew this was gunna be good*
Most insane lander-atachment I´ve ever seen! :-O
Yes Thunder bird two definitely looks like that and definitely goes to space lol
Me: Hey, nice vid. I should watch it!
Video: **plays sans and mettaton effects sounds**
Me: Now even more so!
User: just completed his first mun landing
Matt: *Builds a Mk3 SSTO and upgrades his hangar to top*
Another Heroic rescue by the BlunderBirds!

0:10 OH YES, I'm really hoping other people know the songs in the start
lol i finally landed a kerbal on minmus and the lander was destroyed. i made a rescue mission and only had enough delta v to get into orbit :'(
when i picked the kerbal up
Try using eva reentry
Yayyyy an alliteration!!! Thank you Matt, you fantastic fan-servicer you
I just love the Pathé pastiche! Hilarious!
Well in my game, Jeb is currently adrift in deep space. He’s been out there for about a year now. Probably died of starvation. I lost contact with him after he escaped the solar system with just a command pod
Mr Lowne, you crazy, hansom man, you! Loving this series!
love the undertale music
Is it me or is this channel and Matt so addicting lol
11:05 It is 580 m/s to launch from the Mun.
OH man that intro is AWESOME!!!
You should orbit around mun and send a refueling probe down to collect fuel then return home on the landing strip of ksp.
11:52 you didn’t get away with it by me
Blunderbirds OMG :D Brilliant Matt!
The intro makes me laugh every time. Thanks, a lot
Yes the kerbin turned into earth
Nice undertale music usage 10/10
Steins Door I think the opening theme is good too, in my opinion
aka sans.
Awesome as always
Oh my god that introducion is fantastic
Wow! You were able to do it without a maneuver hold!
How did Jeb re-enter the atmosphere without a command pod?
He's Jeb. He does whatever he wants.
Matt’s SSTO: liftoff, escape kerbin, kerbin orbit, escape trajectory out of kerbin, approaching mun, mun orbit, mun landing, save jebediah Kerman, mun liftoff, escape mun, mun orbit, escape trajectory out of mun, approaching kerbin, kerbin orbit, re-entry, landing.
My SSTO: liftoff, engine explodes because it was slightly touching the ground,crashes in ocean. Or liftoff, go around kerbin, tries to land, wheels explode even with 18375936273940471628394735273859626E+ 326426 parachutes.
Your are the best you tuber in the world
11:27 (he crashes into the rim of the crater, then it's a double blunder birds... HOORAY!)
And jeb hears the roar of the nuclear engines, how can he hear that? Matt: “ he’s a blimin space kerbal”
The music video is frekin awesome!
The old argus
"In which me and a bunch of other users built a station around the Mun."
You forgot to mention that a certain someone built a module to "hug" and deorbit the station into the Mun.
U should make Star Wars fighters and try and fly them into space
Me when bro said Thunderbirds a hit 1965 show remade in 2015 is obviously inspired by his blunderbirds 😂❤😂
you are pretty good at this game man :)
Love the vid
as soon as the blunderbirds theme came on i said "YES!!"
This is such a great series, it's really cool that you are giving back to the community like this. I gotta strand a kerbal somewhere and start a something account so maybe one day you will help me lol
this guy put whole ksp community to shame
If you like world destruction and explosions, check out Danny2462/Nexter's Lab/SWDennis
thanks liaco for your insight and appreciate the sub and Aubrey i started watching their channels and its pretty good
I'm happy to have spread the word
So, you don't like his attitude but watch his videos or just stop by to tell others you don't like him?
Either way- Kudos for you sir!
Perhaps you want some Hazard-ish with that.
I don't Know if u r gonna see this but you can still use planetshine even if it is for 1.2... Works perfectly for me :)
Delmon ok
Hey Matt you should do a Duna Indirect Mission...use ISRU on Minmus to collect fuel for a Minmus to Duna transport vessel...just an idea that would be an epic infrastructure build up...Godspeed and good luck...
SO MUCH UNDERTALE MUSIC IN THIS VIDEO
*23 seconds of undertale music
I think the inspiration thing is the other way around, Matt.
SMASH!!! Smash good. :) Enjoyed the vid, good job. Hope you have a great day...stay safe.
Sans. And oh my
Noice
When u think ur good at ksp and then realize Matt is always better.
This? This is what rescue contracts in career wanted to be :)
I'll point out that, in order to do a career mission with this craft you need a few billion points of science, so, you know, there's that :P
Elegant solution!
I love this series.. Keep it up Matt lawn :)
Well the thunderbirds were way older (in fact puppets were use in the original thunderbirds) and I think that blunderbirds is the inspired by the thunderbirds
you make it all look so easy mate
#discordsquad
👌
That was so cool!
Matt is the best
You are very good at this
His lowest altitude over the ridge on the mun was 36 metres
So Jebediah is the pilot and it says Jebediah and scrap team of carbinol so that means Bill and Bob need to rescue him engineers and scientists so they can’t drive the plane so they need help from Valentina to help them
even with a solar eclipse! neat!
