Debris in KSP has some quantum mechanics vibe to it - it only de-orbits when you observe it. Same applies to parachutes sometimes. I once tried to deploy a rover from a plane, and it kept crushing into the ground. So I had to circle around it after deployment and only then it's parachutes worked fine.

To pick up a rock, get a kerbal up close and right-click him/her. Assuming its a small rock and not a large surface feature and that you are close enough, there will be an option to "pick up *whatever the rock is, e.g. Laythe stone*". The kerbal will play a cute animation of him/her hacking away at the rock and then will produce a science menu. The rock will then disappear. Transmitting the data will yield 0 of the science while recovering it will give you the same amount of science as a surface sample on that planet.

You can always tell when you're about to enter the hwhiskey review, everything just becomes a little more classy all of a sudden.

Fun fact, i recently landed on minmus. Coming in. crew report. (roughly) "You look at the minty green surface of minmus, you wonder if it tastes like mint? You realize you are hungry now." Surface sample, minmus flats (iirc, not the dark green area, one of the higher flats) "You sneak a taste of the surface sample, it does not taste like mint." Quotes are not exact. But recent.

Wonderful job! Regarding debris, I've noticed that if you leave a piece of debris on a degrading orbit and "ride it down", it behaves as expected. However, often if you travel away from the separate stage, the game will remember its sub-orbital trajectory, but it won't lower its appoapsis unless you select the debris from the tracking center. I suspect that the game removes physics from objects that isn't in the immediate vicinity of the player's object to save on resources.

17:30 I did a minmus mission and one of my pieces of debris had a periapsis of 30km or something but it still showed up on the map screen for way later

Hello Matt, been watching your videos for a while now and recently loving them for than ever! Keep up the good work!!!!

Kinda wish you added a drill to the spacecraft so you could refuel the ascension ring out in space. Maybe also make an ascension ring delivery system for Eve so you can easily land there.

Amazing concept. This is really cool

I watched the prequels recently and had the same idea to try and build one of these but I had no idea on how to go about it, so I didn't. Kudos to you for being a KSP master and making one.

Matt, the reason you have debris still loitering around Kerbin is because once you're beyond render zone about 3 KMs away from another ship or part of a ship, the atmospheric physics will not apply to that piece. Example, a debris piece with apoapsis of 80 Km and and periapsis of 20 Km will hold that infinitely unless you switch to that debris piece in tracking center or manually delete.

"Jebediah stayed rock-steady and didn't come... close to blacking out" Good giggle on that one. Definitely enjoyed stumbling into this channel

Fun Video... very creative concept using the ring for atmospheric accent and return.

wow this is probably one of your coolest ideas yet

That is a nice ring it served its purpose great job

Looks awesome!!

Some years ago I made a similar ring, but it's purpose was to bring small SSTO planes to Laythe. The planes did not have delta V to make interplanetary flight, because they would serve as transport between an orbital space station at Laythe and a ground base. So the ring was always out of atmosphere, going to Laythe and back carrying planes.

Wonderful and elegant design. Would love to see more wacky ships using this idea.

Been wanting you to do this for a long time

That is the coolest idea I have seen in a long time

Wow that ring was clean AF, very nice design.

11:05 "this commentary I've just kind of been winging it really." Perfect summary of all of matt's ksp videos.

Thanks for uploading this in four in the morning matt. Thanks Alot.

Did something similar to this a few years ago cept the other way around, the ring was for getting around the solar system while the ssto was for atmospheric flight / getting off planets :P

Incredible. Simply incredible.

What's really cool is that the Delta 7-B Æthersprite-class light interceptors (by Kuat Systems Engineering) used by the Jedi early in the Clone Wars and the Eta 2 Actis-class light interceptors (also by Kuat Systems) used by the Jedi later in the Clone Wars both use the hyperdrive ring system (Come to think of it, Kuat Systems probably has a patent on the design). The difference is that the Eta 2 hyperdrive ring has 6 engines while the Delta 7-B hyperdrive ring has only 2.

Both models of transport ring are manufatcured by TransGalMeg.
