EDB Hyperrealistic Launch Series

[tylerraiz]

Hi! I have a YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/user/tylerraiz) where I do a whole range of series - from completely stock to extremely modded - and I'm particularly happy with how my Elegant Design Bureau Mission Control series is turning out, so I decided to make it the first series I promote on the forums. General rules for my channel is that I always try my best to keep all my kerbals alive - no wild stunts, there is no quicksaving/loading so if I make a mistake I have to deal with the consequences (suspense!), and the rockets have to be as streamlined as possible. For the EDB Mission Control series, I'm using Real Solar System + Realism Overhaul plus a whole host of other mods.

Here's a sample mission in this series:

The missions even come with a press kit: https://www.dropbox.com/s/vjaon4jl5erglbz/008%20-%20Calypso%20Resupply%20Press%20Kit.pdf The last two pages of the press kits have the full list of mods involved as well as the relevant links.

If you want to check out the whole series, here's the playlist:

So far it has mostly been launch videos, but we'll be getting to more complicated stuff soon. Enjoy!

Mission 10 is up, and we send Jeb, Bill, and Bob to orbit for the first time. Here's the video:

And, of course, the press kit: https://www.dropbox.com/s/cxj6kd9szfvcj5p/010%20-%20Calliope%20Launch%20Press%20Kit.pdf

Enjoy!

You have to appreciate the work that Tyler is putting into these videos.

Go on, check one out! What else are you going to do with fourteen minutes of your time?

(Don't answer that.)

Mission 12 and 13 were the launch and docking of the L-1 Truss, which makes the Titan Station look a whole lot more like a station. You can watch both videos below and the mission press kit is here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/cqt9r4ayldbj1tr/012%20-%20L-1%20Truss%20Press%20Kit.pdf

I just released the video of the first EVA of the series (the video below). I need some ideas for subsequent EVA videos, since it's hard to figure out how to make them compelling, so be sure to mention any ideas! Also, don't hesitate to mention any other ideas you might have for the series. Next item on the plan is a test launch of the Saturn C-3X, which can carry 40 tons to LEO.

I didn't know you were on the forums. I've been watching your RSS/RO videos for months. Just wanted to say thank you for the inspiration. Oh and the new space plane "mini series" is super cool.
