I like the idea of marking the biomes with flags. i'll do same at my next playtrough :) thx for this. Remember my first trip to duna while beta stage of the game. I had no idea what i'm doing and had no mods like kerbal engineer installed. So there was no destruction by heat in this version of the game and i came in with about 5000m/s and had no fuel to slow down into orbital speed. So the only way i was able to solve this is dive into the atmosphere and pass the duna surface down to 100m altitude... was a impressing ride with 5000m/s just above surface ^^ never forget that

At this point stock KSP missions are pretty repetitive and easy, because you can basically go anywhere in the system with a single command pod. It's trivial to push such little mass anywhere you want. Would love to see your take on a higher difficulty design challenge, like doing similar missions with proper life support aspects, like TAC life support + Kerbal Health where you have LS mass and habitable space design to account for.

the problem is it’s only easy to pull off a mission like this if you are very skilled in multiple areas (interplanetary rendezvous, efficient landing, tight deltav budgeting), which most players are not. if the dev team made this kind of thing harder they would effectively be gating off most of the game to only the most skilled players. instead, there is an option in the difficulty settings to reduce science rewards (i play with 50% science rewards myself, but have played with 25% for an ultra challenge). i think more players should use that setting.

Actually, if you count dwarf planets, Pluto has the largest satellite relative to its own mass. Charon is so big relative to Pluto that the Pluto system's barycenter is actually outside any of the objects in it, and as such there's some debate over whether it should be considered a dwarf planet with five moons or a double dwarf planet with four moons. The latter term isn't formally defined, so the debate will probably go on until they find more objects like this and the IAU has to actually make a decision, just like when they the found more KBOs and had to define what dwarf planets were.

I'm loving your videos! I was just at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago yesterday looking at the original Aurora 7 (Mercury-Atlas 7 mission capsule) and the Apollo 8 command module. I've also seen the Gemini 12 capsule at the Adler Planetarium in Chicago. It's so cool being able to see these actual capsules in person, it really helps with the sense of scale when playing KSP. The astronauts were really cramped in the Gemini and Mercury capsules. The Apollo command module is a mansion by comparison, especially with the SM attached.

Ready, Ike? Kick the baby! Don't kick the baby. Kick the baby. Wah! (crashing sounds).

Instant thumbs up for intro song. You know the jams. Great content btw, love your channel!

"small amount of fuel to reach" Me being a dumbass: *gets stuck there*

My first Duna probe finally returned to Kerbin after nearly four years in a solar orbit. It was pretty successful considering it was originally meant to be a fly-by and return. Even got an Ike encounter.

I love your videos, I like how you go through and explain what your doing, and you’re also funny.

07:41 Just a small note so people trying this the first time won't get confused: Kerbal Alarm Clock will remember a calculateed transfer window, but to calculate it in the first place, you'll also need the Transfer Window Planner! So that's two Mods for that.

Thanks for this vid Matt. I now have a few ideas on how to make my own mission to Duna and have it succeed. I guess I can finally fill my science trees ;-)

Love the video! Great times Matt

I remember when I did this I landed a full rocket with the first stage of liftoff from Dina being a pressure appropriate engine followed up by a vacuums engine, your way of doing it is much better but the landing a full rocket on duna was still quite fun

Hol up. I have to correct you about the moons and satellites. You are right when it comes to planets. But pluto has a extremely big moon, relative to its size. The moon does not orbit around pluto, its more like pluto and the moon orbit a common spot.

Ernsthaft Unus: Correct, the barycenter of Pluto and Charon's orbit is outside of Pluto. Qookie: Every two orbiting partners have a barycenter that lies somewhere between the center of mass of the two objects. In most cases the two objects do not have comparable mass and thus the barycenter lies and stays fully within the volume of the larger object. Pulling the two bodies farther apart will also move the barycenter further from the larger masses' center. Two bodies of greatly differing mass, but with a particularly large orbit around each other, may potentially have a barycenter outside the larger object.

You can take all science twice, as long as you save it in different pods/ containers. This means that you can get twice the science... I am using this for my second science save, although I have put my multiplier for science gain to five, it doesn't effect it. o7

Hey Matt I just made it to kerbin orbit you make it look easy😁

Just a warning about using that trick to automatically align docking ports. There's a bug in the game that's still in 1.4.1 where radially attached docking ports, or any docking ports not aligned with the axis of the root part, will not auto-target properly. The game will always try to align the ROOT part to your target - not the part you are controlling from. The nav-ball does switch to the correct direction when you "control from here" on your radial docking port, but the angle to your target is still calculated from the root part of your ship. So your trick only works for docking ports stack attached in line with your root part, for now.

after seeing your SSTO design's, i'm pretty confident your rover design's ain't the issue

@Erowens98

Yeah, even on kerbin with a low center of mass rover moving a mere 20m/s (75kph) its way too easy to flip. And on low gravity celestial bodies, its even worse. Rovers are about 4x as tippy as they should be.

Mars has thin atmosphere. Landers can tilt sideways due to hills. Mars have re-entry affects.

Planting flags also gives kerbals the max XP they can receive per celestial body. Granted not a whole lot more than just landing but still XP is XP.

I have the same issue..... Shadowplay corrupts half of my replays to the point where Adobe Premier crashes on import. Trying to play the videos in VLC or Shadowplay works but then at roughly the ~15 minute mark the rest of the video is frozen on one single frame.

Even if you don't mess the deployment settings of the boosters' parachutes you can't recover them in the stock game. They will fall out of your physics range (around 5 km I believe) and then they disappear (either chutes don't open or they explode at landing). I've tried a few times, never worked out for me...

brilliant mission. This is easily my favorite ship configuration (apollo style) and objective to play. maybe lower the explosion volume in-game for future videos. they're a bit louder than everything else and kinda jarring. otherwise, great video! awesome commentary

Yeah that happened to me on my first kerballed landing on Duna, my landing rocket tipped over.

I showed this to my brother. Now he's a pro KSP player.

Amazing vid 🙂 you inspired me to play kerbal space program 😄

This video just makes me appreciate the For Science mod even more.....

I just know realized watching this that "Burning Retrograde" is setting the retrograde marker as the target and just flying, and not *burning* some (lesser?) *grade* of fuel... I knew it didnt make sense but I had always brushed it off as: "Im yet to leave Kerbin, maybe later on ill unlock different grades of fuel"

Great video! What about visiting the kraken, or the dres canyon?

Hey Matt, I wouldnt normally suggest something for a video for science collection but how about doing something near the sun? Like setting up a comnet sattelite that can do some limited science collection to top you off without being a crazy amount gained but also be useful ongoing.

I've been playing this game so differently. I sent satellites to each planet to map out biomed, collect and transmit science. I then sent manned missions in a shuttle with the convertotron and drill to refill my tanks. That way, you can hop, skip and jump from planet to planet.

knows how to play ksp still watches

It would be cool if you did a career play through

You should really look into the [X]Science mod it's amazing. instead of having to find all the little fiddly devices to click on manually, you get an awesome little UI so that you can just click on the UI to take science experiments at the right time. It's one of the best mods available. It also shows you where you have and haven't taken science from yet :) Btw I agree with you that rovers are awful in this game. Even if you can build a decent one, it takes sooooooo long driving across biomes it's such a waste of time. I prefer what you've done here and have an orbiter with a landing craft to go back and forth, even refuelling from the obiter if needed.

I think they've since changed the game so scientists can't repack parachutes, so it's at least a two Kerbal mission. My first Duna landing involved a pilot, scientist and engineer landing there. I visited two biomes but used all chemical rockets so there wasn't quite enough delta-v for Ike and that had to wait for another mission.

hey matt, your next video in this series should be an SSTO to unlock the rapiers. i remember you saying that rapiers are basically essential for SSTOs so might be a fun challenge to not use them

I guess you got the NERV to do it.

When in doubt, check compatability and versions.

It's a good thing KSP relays don't need to be geostationary. Regardless, I sometimes wonder about surface relays simply for the challenge of it. It does get rather complex. Ever time I try to think it through, particularly in a Duna/Ike context, I can't figure out a minimum number of relays. The signal does go through a surprising amount of rock; probably reduced in strength but with powerful relays on both ends of the link the reduction wouldn't matter.
