Glad to see you are still doing KSP videos. KSP is how I first found you, years ago. After that I kept coming back for all the great science and space info you provide. Keep up the great work.
Glad you’re going back to KSP. Wish this video was more on the old tutorial style. I was all excited to see you explain gravity assists in detail and show how you made your timing decisions. Hope you’ll get back to actual teaching. I miss those vids. Maybe even a reboot of the tutorials???
The 4 Directional RCS thruster now glows independently ie You thrust forwards, the nossel/s pushing you forward glow, It's really cool Two days ago I updated ksp from 1.4.5 to 1.7 jeez everything changed
I didn't know what that highway was, so I read up on it, and damn is it awesome! Since the orbits of bodies vary quite a lot over time, how stable is that highway?
@@Exevium the idea is to get them into the lagrange points I think...those points are special because they have no gravitational potential...meaning that an object orbiting there would ideally feel no perturbations
@@christianlabanca5377 Yes, this I'm aware of. But very few lagrange points are actually stable (Earths L1 point decays the quickest), so any connection between them will decay over time as well. So that's why I was wondering how stable the highway was, and if changes had to be made over time.
KCP-000 "The Kraken" Object Class: Keter Special Containment Procedures: KCP-000 is to be locked in a 3m x 3m x 3m faraday cage encased in a 0.5m thick concrete-lead exterior in Site KR-12. No less than six 9mm x 1m steel bolts are to run through the faraday cage and concrete shell. The washers and nuts are to be tightened and welded securely such that there are no moving parts, with the long ends of the bolts running into holes drilled directly into bedrock and filled with concrete. Under no circumstances are the bolts to be loosened, nor the cage disconnected from direct contact to the bedrock. Unnecessary loose objects are to be kept away from the containment chamber, and no moving parts are allowed in the containment chamber. Containment chamber is to be kept under constant video and audio surveillance. No less than three electromagnetic sensors are to be placed in the room tuned to detect rays in the [REDACTED] range. Motion sensors are to be placed facing the containment chamber. Any video, audio, electromagnetic anomaly, or movement is to be reported immediately to any Level 4 personnel. Objects exhibiting properties similar to instances of KCP-000A (see Description) are to be reported immediately to any Level 4 personnel, followed by immediate evacuation of all Level 3 or lower personnel from Site KR-12 with exception to any class K personnel as authorized by any Level 4 personnel. KCP-000 is not to be relocated or experimented on without approval from all of O5. Description: KCP-000 is an entity with no physical form. The only way to detect the presence of KCP-000 is through electromagnetic radiation in the [REDACTED] frequency or through it's effects on it's physical surroundings. All physical objects within an approximately 1m proximity to the center of KCP-000 exhibit anomalous properties and can be classified as instances of KCP-000A. Instances of KCP-000A will show signs of rapid movement back and forth when any force is exerted upon them, increasing in velocity at an exponential rate depending on the mass and complexity of the object, proximity to KCP-000, and amount of time exposed. Massive objects and objects with many moving parts tend to be the most susceptible, however large objects require longer exposure to reach a critical point. Object may cause extreme heating due to air resistance, rapid oxidization and combustion, and extreme damages to the surroundings. Instances of KCP-000A will continue to accelerate as they oscillate until they have completely disintegrated or have reached escape velocity. Addendum: Seismic sensors have been placed in Site KR-12 following concerns that keological activity will disturb the KCP-000 containment cell and bedrock, causing an XK-Class end-of-the-world scenario. Preventative measures are being considered by O5, however no feasible solutions have been found.
Me: 1500 Delta-V... yeah, that should be enough to get out to Duna and back if I'm very careful. Scott: Lets hit every planet in the system and end in rotation around Jool.
I haven't seen the changes in the new version, but this was entirely possible in older versions too. I've done playthroughs where I did nothing but focus on using minmus as my "last hop to anywhere". You can get good at timing when you drop down to Kerbin to reach other bodies. Since you refuel in minmus orbit and a transfer orbit from kerbin-minmus is already almost an escape, it makes it cheap to go places. You drop down to kerbin for the oberth effect, since the gravity is so much higher than minmus or mun.
It's not rocket science. It's orbital mechanics. If the rocket explodes, that's another department (heh). I think you'd just need to see it done a few times to be able to do it yourself. If you can do a return trip from minmus and can do an interplanetary transfer orbit, you can do this sort of technique.It's just doing both at once: the trick being the timing. My advise is to practice it with a bunch of dumb satellites around minmus. Learn when to go home so that the return orbit is almost the same as an orbit you would to reach during a burn to another planet. For instance when you want to hit Jool, you'd do it when minmus is moving in the prograde direction. If done right, you escape without having to spend a significant chunk (about 750 dv) of fuel. If you want to do what Scott did in this video, it's just playing gravitic pinball and using flybys to 'suck' you in the right direction and repeat. With a lot of waiting and a few tiny correction burns, you can slingshot the same planet multiple times.
I'm just imagining some poor Kerbal, straight out of college being put to work on what they were told was going to be an exciting new satellite mission, watching as friends and colleagues are promoted or assigned work on cutting edge technologies while they continue monitor the same little satellite they sent into space all those years ago...then 36 years later finally being able to retire having worked on a total of one project their entire career.
11:33 - I wouldn't call Bop and Pol "practically planets in and of themselves", given that they're the fourth-smallest and second-smallest bodies in the entire Kerbol system, respectively (the smallest and third-smallest being Gilly and Minmus, respectively).
i love it when i see people play this game and actually understand it's mechanics. that way i get to see it too as my creations have a habit of never getting past either sitting burning at the pad or a very wonky eggshaped and decaying orbit.
Please do another KSP Tutorial, it's been years, and I love those videos. Also the Delta V was added earlier, and helped a little. Also since I'm in career mode could you cover the gravity assist? I know some, but not all the tricks.
I was used to launch SSTOs to orbit, but never knew how to launch towards a planet. Even with additional advanced high ISP engines, what I can do is aim for the moon, aim for it, and fire up engines at full throttle, then turn it around at the middle and decelerate...
It would be cool if the highest pilot xp level allowed you to create burn action groups so you could just hit a button and have the craft fire 50% engines for 2.5 seconds, etc. Locking to nodes was cool but I found I only really used the pro and retrograde ones that unlock straight away.
I was really hoping that you were going to show us something in base KSP that helped figure out HOW to do gravity assists. You make it look so easy...I have a hard enough time getting ANY encounter even with transfer planner...
I like your new stuff Scott and I understand why you would want to change pace from a gaming channel to a science channel, but it's fun to see KSP again.
I like how they let you adjust your node in Maneuver window. It was pain in ass sometimes as you never knew which one are you pulling when doing Maneuvers.
Made me remember a friend who was studying astronomy, he was always joking about how "primitive" gravity assists would look for an advanced interplanetary species
The question for me is does stock KSP now have integrated Kerbal Joint Reinforcement? I can’t play KSP when the rockets wobble crazily. It just throws me out of the game. I’m still on 1.4 because I found a weirdly convoluted mod that gave me KJR. Any advice?
I'm just going to point out that there is this tool called KSP-TOT that can calculate the whole tour, if you choose bodies you want to get an assist from (and mind you, these calculations take significant amount of CPU power so I don't recommend playing the game while it's doing its thing). Great thing either way.
Olha, é tão fácil e rápido "instalar" o mod que resolvia isso: o KER já resolvia isso tudo com folga e sem ter que ficar clicando em nada. Acho que isso foi mais um update voltado aos consoles.
Keep doing KSP, Scott! Love gravity assists, wish there was a good tool to plan/calculate them, also to know in advance how much dV a mission will take, total. I'm sure NASA don't eyeball these gravity-assist Pluto missions, etc, and I hate spending hours launching a giant spaceship for Eve/Jool that looks over-specced, only to find, on arrival, that it lacks the dV for Orbit Capture, or to return home.. I end up making a fleet of tankers and run out of playtime making them meet up, dock, transfer fuel, etc and never actually get there. Once you're in Orbit, being able to get the perfect mission plan inc. assists, etc, would be great.. in fact I wish NASA had a public tool for people to look for interesting missions to suggest that could actually be done..
Yeah. Just my luck. At last, the last of the mods i'm using was finally updated to be compatible with 1.6.1, i was waiting for ages. Until recently, i was still playing 1.2.2. Really a long wait. Few days ago, i routinely checked curseforge, without any expectations, and there it was. So i downloaded it. I updated KSP to 1.6.1, installed all the mods and started dealing with the trouble of unknowingly picking the version of Kerbal Attachment System that doesn't support legacy parts anymore. So, some of my struts-added-in-space orbital stations and ships are a bit screwed now, but they're still there, which was important to me. I made everything work (sort-of), and then bam, new KSP version released. Seeing how much time it took to update Kerbal Attachment System, i think that again - it will be ages before i'll be able to update to 1.7 (or, more likely even later versions). Still, i love the game very much. Too bad that the mods always took so long to catch up. I'm a bit surprised, that KSP developers didn't consider the option to include super-useful mods like MechJeb, Kerbal Engineer, Kerbal Alarm Clock and KIS/KAS into vanilla KSP. I couldn't imagine playing without MechJeb. Not that i can't get to orbit, dock, undock, deorbit or transfer between planets without it, i can, and i always made sure i'm able to do it manually before ever using MechJeb, but it's much more comfortable to use MechJeb, especially when repeatedly doing routine missions like launching scanning equipment, relays, getting new modules to orbital stations and so on...
What I would really like is for you to remake a "how to use maneuver notes", because there are so many new functions and it can be wary hard to understand all the info's, plus it is so easy to get confused by all the icons that are popping up when a maneuver line is crossing a target.
i stopped playing for a while then saw the KSP 2 comeing out so i got both DLCs playing stock.... i feel like such a noob all over aging.. Gravity ASSsist is one thing i never real got in to... thx for the vid
@@tetsujin_144 Mostly, I think, it's because bears are significantly more massive than kerbals and thus need more powerful spark engines to compensate.
Scott, you forgot to mention the problem of n-body gravity . Now not simulated in KSP. Otherwise it would be almost unplayable game (due to limits of our hardware and our brains).
I think the best thing about this game are the Kerbal's themselves. It's hilarious watching their reactions. There are times I start feeling bad for them.
10:23 - I though the main reason the Kerbol system only has one gas giant was because the developer responsible for making the additional gas giants got fired?
Scott. I am having a hard time getting a Eve gravity assist (from Kerbin) to boost my Ap higher. I cant find the right spot to place the maneuver: i seem to only be able to lower my Ap, not increase it. Can you help?
What? An actual edited Kerbal video from Scott? Wooohooo
I must be dreaming!

Holy crap, I need to get back on KSP!
Yes you do.
I was so happy when you said hello in the beginning.
I would love to see another KSP series if there’s enough interest from your fan base! Some of my favorite videos to watch before bed

i stopped playing for a while then saw the KSP 2 comeing out so i got both DLCs playing stock.... i feel like such a noob all over aging.. Gravity ASSsist is one thing i never real got in to... thx for the vid
A bear version of the Spark engine. Finally!
Why do bears need their own version of the Spark engine?
@@tetsujin_144 Mostly, I think, it's because bears are significantly more massive than kerbals and thus need more powerful spark engines to compensate.
@@kevingriffith6011 Really depends on the size of the bear.
Smashing the maneuver node stack for fun and profit.
Is this the "Y Que" piloted by Manéo Kerman-Espinoza?
Please do another series on *Surviving Mars* it has had major changes since you last played it?
Scott: "...and we're doing it all within a 1500m/s delta-v budget."
Me: "What?! This is madness!"
Scott: "THIS. IS. KERBAL!!!" *hits launch*
Scott, you forgot to mention the problem of n-body gravity . Now not simulated in KSP. Otherwise it would be almost unplayable game (due to limits of our hardware and our brains).
You have a knack of posting vids when I'm wearing your hoodie. Maybe i just wear this hoodie a lot. fly safe
So what was your total Delta v usage? The competition should be can you use less delta v to visit all of the planets.
I think the best thing about this game are the Kerbal's themselves. It's hilarious watching their reactions. There are times I start feeling bad for them.
I actually asked Squad for the radio altimeter. So many crashes on the Mun, so many stranded Kerbals
10:23 - I though the main reason the Kerbol system only has one gas giant was because the developer responsible for making the additional gas giants got fired?
Scott,you officially regained the title of KSP God.
I love to see some more KSP. Maybe an other series like the last? Or some challenges you haven't done yet?
Scott. I am having a hard time getting a Eve gravity assist (from Kerbin) to boost my Ap higher. I cant find the right spot to place the maneuver: i seem to only be able to lower my Ap, not increase it. Can you help?
1:- YESSSS another Kerbal video.
2:- wtf is that new Intro jingle?
It’s my old Kerbal intro jingle.
Scott Manley hah. It’s been so long I had got used to the beatbox techno. I was a late subscriber. :)
A video title iv been looking for ♥
