Awesome idea. Looking forward to the series, Matt!

Love watching these at work on my break. Perfect timing!

Hi, Matt! I found your channel a few months ago and have watched almost every video of yours since. Just wanted to say I love how knowledgeable you are about both space and KSP. I also love how you explain so much about what you're doing in-flight and give us so many tips for the "best" way to fly. Can't believe I'm making *that* pathetic essay comment but I just wanted to show you some love and tell you thank you for all your wonderful content!

I'm really excited about this new KSP series. Great idea Matt, loving it!

I love that you are building historical rockets. It’s nice to educate everyone on the history of where we got to today. Keep up the good work!

I’m so excited for the rest of this series! Great work Matt!

Brilliant idea for a series, looking forward to the rest

I love this idea for a series and I can't wait for more videos. If I had one super tiny nitpick, it's the retro pack on the Mercury capsule was solid fuel rather than liquid fuel and so they had to time the burn correctly since it was a fixed amount of delta-v and thrust. But otherwise you pretty much nailed everything -- I especially loved the Atlas, maybe the best stock Atlas I've seen -- and that was a great video.

This was probably the best Atlas Recreation Ive seen using only stock parts, nice

great video!! Love the Mercury missions.

You forgot to keep the thruster pack on for Glenn's re-entry!

@mattr7994

The thruster pack didn’t actually stay on, though. The light in the capsule was malfunctioning, so they *thought* it was still on, but it had actually detached just fine.

@@mustang5132 I looked it up and it turns out I remembered a slightly mangled version of what happened - you are correct. The faulty light was telling them that the *heat shield* had come loose (although it was actually just fine), so they kept the retro package on in an attempt to hold it in place. I remembered the problem was actually a bad indicator light and not a real problem, but I was thinking the issue was failure of the retro pack to separate, not of the heat shield to remain where it was supposed to be.

In addition to the # of orbits...John Glenn’s flight also did not jetison the retro-pack. They had a sensor indication of the heat shield coming loose and kept the retro pack on to hold it on for reentry.

Cool series idea!

great idea for a series dude! love it

great video, can't wait for the next part :)

I was trying to do this in real solar system and man is it simultaneously the most interesting and difficult thing to pull off. You learn about as much as you learned the first time you learned ksp but now it is to the level of mass fractions and fuel/mass efficiency equations, rather than just "I need more deltaV" and "point engine in this direction to raise orbit". You have to learn actual rocket science and the history behind it, and as someone who love science, history, and video games, it was actually some of the most fun I have had playing a video game.

Great video Matt 👍

Great series Matt!!!!

You also jettisoned the retro-rockets after your second mission. IRL there were some suspected problems with the heatshield so the retro-rocket package was ordered to not be jettisoned in the hopes that it would help hold the heatshield on better

"our history in space is very interesting, and long" that pretty much exactly describes the canceled NASA Ares rocket 🤣

Really cool idea, keep it up!

I love the idea of recreating the most important space programs of the Cold War. Looking forward for another videos

Your upload schedule is not nice to my sleeping schedule, BUT I SHALL BE DAMNED IF I MISS A MATT LOWNE UPLOAD!

Awesome! Id love to see a series on the space race from you. I had the same idea on my channel too, but I was just doing Apollo and Artemis.

so hyped for this new series 😊

Really enjoyed this. Love space history.

Very impressive! It's "funny" that a/the continuous burn to orbit was the standard back then (Mercury/Gemini/Apollo) compared to what we do in KSP.

Yay! Such a good new series!

6:28 Subtitles: murky red stone rocket help me i am laughing hard right now

Nice!!! Keep that series please!

To make a Soyuz descent module, take a pomegranate pod, disable the decoupler, and put a fairing base below it, and create a fairing that connects half way up the pod. Clip Separatrons with the minimal amount of fuel inside the faint base to slow down for landing. Then put a heat shield below that. On top of the pod put a reaction wheel, clip it into the pod, and add parachutes.

Amazing series Exited for more

This is an awesome series!

Great idea!!

Best idea!😍

My great grandmother was one of the mathematicians that worked on this project! Awesome!

you can see how heavy the last rocket is just by how fast its going like the poor rocket is trying as hard as it can

That's an awesome looking Mercury/ Atlas!

please keep going with this series

Matt, this series rocks :)

Very excited!

What if the space race was in ksp and not in irl : this is what would happen probably

I'm down for the historical recreations. It would be cool to see the most famous failures reenacted as well

When you have done all the irl space race do the for all mankind timeline!

Greetings from Alan Shepard's home town of Derry, New Hampshire! Home of the Astros at Pinkerton Academy (nicknamed because of Shepherd, who was a graduate).

Super impressive thing, but one small detail on Mercury Atlas, They kept the retrorockets attached entering the atmosphere because they were worried that the heat shield would come off. Good mission none the less though!

To reach orbit in one burn keep the time to apoapsis close to around 5 to 10 secondes by moving your nose up or down in direction of the flight pass ( not directly from the start but when your apoapsis is around 30 km). you can see your time to apoapsis (and the hight of apoapsis) by canging the information window in the lower left corner by pressing on the purple icon.

I’m surprised I haven’t heard of the Mercury project until now

Mat i love your KSP vids

I'm very impressed with how well you recreated all of these. I'd love to see more! Weren't the retropack rockets supposed to be solid rocket motors, though?

Yay!!!! Finally a space race!!!

Looking forward to the future iterations of this series - do you think you will need to split them into multiple parts (i.e. Apollo part 1, part 2, etc.), due to the sheer number of flight objectives that Gemini and Apollo accomplished, will you combine multiple missions into a single launch,or do you anticipate making a longer video summarizing the whole program? I'd like a longer one just due to the quality of your work, but imagine it would take you much longer to make as well

8:02 Nice demonstration on how brutal the g-forces were on such a steep flight profile.

12:00 I had never realized how chonky these Mercury-Redstone rockets were. It looks like a sizeable shiny silver sausage slowly soaring skyward.

Nice on Matt!

It's not widely known, but the Redstone rocket had stability problems as well. The original Redstone rocket was designed to launch a nuclear warhead weighing several tons. The Mercury capsule was much lighter, which moved the center of mass too far down and made it hard to keep stable. So several hundred pounds of rubber and steel ballast was added to the top of the rocked just below the capsule. Earlier rockets had little or no ballast, but the one which launched Alan Shepard had over 600 pounds. Redstone was a stopgap, and was always known to be inefficient.

I did a project on John Glen's flight in 3rd grade. I even made a model of him. He's still in my garage.

,,We don't have a money, but we have a Jebedaiah - who could notice a diffrence, anyway?" XD

If they first tested the retro rockets during Alan Shepherd's flight, then why weren't they sure they could light engines in space? Great video btw.

That chrome fairing looks great!
