How about he has to use every fuel tank in the game while ALSO using every single engine

the "cr-7" rapier engines work better if you try to make a spaceplane ssto style design, since you can take off like a plane and then just work like a rocket while in space

I think you might have been able to do better with a spaceplane. Make a spaceplane with the mammoth engine, use it to deliver a large empty fuel tank to orbit, transfer any excess fuel into that tank, then keep doing trips until you fill up the tank. Then ditch the plane, attach the capsule and engine to the big tank, and away you go. I might try this myself.

@Jack-dd3kn

I'd be willing to bet that you could do it with a rapier as well. Might even get it in one launch if you do some mining on Minmus or Gilly.

probably, if you were a better player than I. I'm currently working on the spaceplane method, and having pretty good luck!

The solutions you come up with recovering the engine is mind blowing lol! One rover is missing something instead of making a kerbal fixed it you just build another rover with even longer electric battery cylinder and attach a rovemax wheel onto it so it doesn't scrape the ground the next time you drive it lol

A much more boring but efficient way to do this would be a twin boar engine with some drop tanks. It has really good TWR and it has a built in fuel tank. You could probably get to moho with less than 20 parts.

yeah he can help their space junk problem by “just adding more engines” that will lower their “aypoapsis”

I'd reccomend the kerbal engineer mod because it gives you info for delta-v and periapsis and apoapsis when the game bugs out

With cranes like that you really should consider using the KAL robotics controller. It'd save you a lot of headache if you need things to move slowly. Additionally, though I could understand avoiding them in this specific case because they are technically engines, but if you remove the fuel from the tall SRBs they make really good structural parts for long or tall things.

Thank you for these videos, they have gotten me through though times.

your videos are cool, subscribing

Can you make a slingshot/catapult/trebuchet thingy to try to get off of Kerbin? (I kinda doubt a full orbit it possible, but just getting the game to consider you in space would be really cool (and prolly really hard)).

@Pyxis10

Жыл бұрын

I used to have a mod way back in alpha that used a "small" magnetic catapult to fling you to orbit. Once they added atmospheric heating effects, it stopped working since everything would overheat and explode.

Whenever you make a spacecraft using rapiers, make an airplane. Start in airbreathing mode, and once you get off the runway, fly straight and level until you get to at least 440 meters per second, then pitch up to 20 degrees on the navball, then fly to 10km. Then, at 10 km, level out, and fly straight and level, and let the curvature of Kerbin fall away under you, and fly until you reach 20km. Once at 20km, switch to closed-cycle (oxidizer) mode, pitch up to 45 degrees on the navball, then burn until your apoapsis is at 80-100 km above kerbin. At this point, you can shut off your engine, align yourself prograde, and coast to apoapsis, where you burn to circulize. Now you're in Low Kerbin Orbit. Hope this helps in the future! :D

You casually explaining as pure chaos engulfs the launchpad with wonky cranes and cars to grab loads from your other cars.

One idea would be to use an "upside-down" staging: Basically, instead of removing bottom stacks as you stage, like conventional rockets, you do the opposite by removing upper stacks as you stage. Or, you could also just put the engines radially on the top-most stage and discard the bottom fuel tanks as you stage.

Flying into the sun, but the engine/engines are on the top of the rocket

wow you literally go through hell to give us this great content video. congrats.

Dude ur vids deserve more attention!

“Oh my” is what I think every time you make an “adjustment haha. But that’s the kerbal way: if it works, it works!

Reid Captains videos have the same sound and feel as NileReds channel, voice and all. Once I heard it I couldn't un-hear it. Great videos as always!

I'm completely lost and have no clue what you're trying to do at this point, but I'm here for it.

What about one where you’re not allowed to retry anything? One planet, one try.

for some reason, i ws thinking that you were going to do this challenge with one launch as well.

Well, recovering that engine shocked me 😅 Amazing

Next Challange: Ounly with RSC

Please try the Minmus speedrun challenge. Speedrun in this challenge context means that you must reach Minmus in the least amount of _game_ time. Game time can be found in the top-left of the screen.

One thing you could have done that would have made this rocket a lot less complicated is attaching the fuel tanks that get decoupled on the side

It would be neat if you made some sort of Walker in besiege

Honestly, the trajectory that you used was somewhat like BepiColombo or Messenger.

Going the extra mile to bring the engine back to the station… respec

EJ_SA did this on a daily, even built launchpads

Got an idea for ksp vid: can you get to mun without any techs?

You are reposting my childhood

I've managed to get to Moho with one engine. I don't remember how I did it besides the fact that I picked an engine that had a ton of thrust but was very efficient when you barely used it. I've also used the mod that gives you pure electric engines, but the Issue is that if you use good enough solar panels, you would effectively have infinite fuel. Therefore, you could use batteries as your fuel source.

ksp 2 coming out soon next year btw guys

Have fun doing that while im safe on the ground.

I was half expecting you to use a Kraken engine. You know, that little glitch with the grabbers(?), I’m sure that counts. Then again, you probably did that before, and I’m not aware of it 😅.

He should try the 3 part challenge

Air breathing mode needs air to work... When you get higher in the atmo, there is way less air to breathe. So take a bigger air intake that will work better at higher speeds (Shock cone is the best) Also, those engines are made for spaceplanes, not rockets, otherwise you would need boosters to give enough speed for the engine to work
