KSP CHALLENGE: How Far Can We REALLY Take the Kerbal X?
Ойындар
This was a fun challenge idea I had: the stock vessel "Kerbal X" is advertised as being a Minmus lander, with potential for Mun too. But I think it's capable of far more impressive feats ;)

Ah, the old skins for the poodle and mainsail engines making me really nostalgic. They remind me of the halcyon days when the closed cycle mode of the rapier had a semblance of efficiency. And does anyone else here remember the old sound effects for the rocket engines in KSP, or how you could land on Jool? Because I certainly do, and it really makes me realize how much KSP has evolved over they years since 2014 when I started playing.

I remember using the balloon mod to build floating bases on Jool, and having to use some special mod that let you save whenever for that to work. Also was in VC with Majiir when he made the thing that blended kerbals into Kethane. It feels like the main thing the game added was making all the mods everyone always had installed part of the vanilla game. With the exception of aerodynamics, you still need a mod to fix that.

Challenge idea: do not use the map view, you can use the manuever node menu in the corner to figure out your orbit
Wow... Broken right hand.... Ouch! Thanks for pushing through and getting the commentary done on this. It's a fascinating mission and really pushes the boundaries on utilizing gravity assists. I tried to do a couple of missions in my career mode using assists, but then realized that it was just far more simpler to build for direct transfers.
Hope you hands get better Matt, we all wish you get better quick🤩 The sun will never rise again if we miss a Kerbal video from you😉

Once, I had 0 m/s of delta v and just had the mono prop of the command pod and I just managed to get the periapsis to 65km or something and bled of the rest of the speed and my heat shield got dangerously close to being destroyed. Maybe like 20 ablator was left (I had set the heat shield to have like 200 ablator). It was a minmus mission btw

There are mods that allow for both extra planets, planetoids, dwarf planets, large asteroids, etc, and extra orbiting moons, such as Kopernicus and Extra Planets Pack, not to mention certain packs that overhaul the Kerbol system or recreate the Solar System that Humanity calls home. And besides those 2 examples, there's also Interstellar bodies/systems packs, and it's not to say Matt hasn't used them before, although only sparingly.
Sorry to hear about your hand! A year ago I fractured 2 fingers and my right wrist after falling from my motorcycle on my route to work. After surgery I couldn’t use my hand either so I was very frustated because I couldn’t play anything to pass time during my medical leave from work. So after looking for “slow games” on Steam I bought KSP, started playing it only with my left hand and a few days later found your’s and Scott Manley’s channel after looking for tutorials, specially for docking! I hope you can recover well! After talking with my doctor (and being an MD myself) what really really helped me after removing the needles from my fingers was physical therapy to regain strenght and dexterity. Now a year later my hand is almost back to 100% and I keep riding my motorcycle to work! 🤣

You may save even more delta-v in your gravity assists if you perform some corrections near periapsis of your gravity assist rather than in deep space. Oberth effect applies to gravity assists too. Especially in case you'd otherwise need to dip your periapsis below safe limit, this approach may help. But they're rather tricky to set up, and they have limits.
Neat, About a year ago a newer player on the KSP forums was asking about landing the Kerbal X on the Mun. My standard answer to that is to use a smaller engine and a wider lander, I made that suggestion, but I also looked at the Kerbal X, one thing I noticed was it was very over-engined. So I decided to re-work it. Nothing fancy, I just stretched the tanks and swapped the Swivels for Reliants, no point in sacrificing the thrust when the Mainsail steers just fine. It ended up with about 8,500 m/s Delta/V. Not bad for some quick tinkering, You can find it over on KerbalX, just search for the Kerbal XL.

first time I ever used a gravity assist was after a solar swandive rescue (17 kerbals in an encounter transfer!), burned for a straight in Kerbal re-entry, ran out of fuel... right on course for a Mun polar slingshot, which put me on a return trajectory around Minmus, aerobrake around Kerbin, another encounter with the Mun, which put me into a suicide re-entry and parachute landing on the KSC launchpad!
I loved velocity lake!
