Kerbal Space Program: Merkury/Spearhead Ride into Orbit (HD!) I\'ll be launching my own original creation this time. This is a little more cinematic than my other videos, and I planned on using a different song, but the time was totally off, so I went with something that had nothing to do with spaceflight. The original song is called 'The Minstrel Boy' (remade by Joe Strummer for Black Hawk Down) and it\'s about dying in battle. So... Anyway, enjoy this video and such. I just reminded myself of an awesome movie. Bye. Going to go watch Black Hawk Down lol.

Black Ops was a GREAT game!

No. I didn\'t even know there was a comedian with that name. Actually, Sean-Lock (if I remember correctly) was a Kerbal my friend encountered while playing.

I didn\'t plan this. It just happened. This was supposed to have been a successful flight lol.

I usually do limit my SRBs, but I wanted to go for the most powerful rocket I\'ve ever built.

Not sure. At the time, I diagnosed it as a sign that the engine was about to blow up. Check out the overheat meter on the left.

Thanks.

A day or two is definitely not enough. And what you\'re describing in the OP goes against the laws of orbital mechanics.

Yeah. Von Braun said no manned vehicle should ever use SRBs for primary propulsion.

I want to attach RCS to the side of a command pod. What is the line of coding I need to insert into the .cfg file to allow me to attach things to the surface of the pod?

Ramon made them. Check the plug-in powered addons. I just typed his name into the search bar, located the post where he put them and downloaded.

Kerbal Space Program: Saturn V Rocket - Onboard Booster Camera views (HD!) Using Ramon\'s onboard booster cameras and the GoDammit Saturn V, I launched to get some cool views of the initial ride into orbit. Also in this video is a Monty Python song, which I claim NO OWNERSHIP OF and is being used under fair use and YouTube\'s terms of service. This video spans from ignition sequence until the S-IVB has inserted the spacecraft into orbit. No Trans Lunar Injection is shown.

Don\'t deny it.. You know this is totally one of your average launches... LOL A TOTALLY KERBAL LAUNCH By: Vincent McConnell The engines started and throttled up to over 2,000 newtons of force. Commander Jeb Kerman wasn\'t taking Bill and Bob with him this time. Sean-lock and Bugsy sat left and right of the legendary Kerbonaut while the rocket began to climb. The large launch gantry tower promptly exploded and caught fire as the searing exhaust reduced it to a hot-lava style mixture. The pad was molten and 300 of Kerbal Space Center\'s best technicians were flung – alive – into the ocean like rag dolls. The rocket was so powerful, in fact, that during building, they didn\'t calculate for half of the thrust it would actually develop. The Vehicle Assembly building was toppled and three months worth of dangerous and explosive creations leaked toxic rocket exhaust onto the neighborhoods nearby. “Lift off!†Jeb exclaimed, inside the rocket He smiled as he built up four G\'s “How can you tell?†Sean-lock asked. “I think we\'re collapsing!†“I can tell because every vertical facility, Kerbal, structure and piece of metal just exploded!†They continued on in this way until the it was time for staging. Jeb pressed a large button reading “First Stageâ€. Promptly, the first stage fell away, unbeknownst to the astronauts, with some fuel left in it. The entire booster exploded, throwing hundreds of pieces of metal into the second stage engine bell. Shrapnel peppered the grassy lands below, as the rocket had only just completed the pitch maneuver. “Woops.†Jeb joked. “What happened?†Bugsy yelled. “We\'re not moving!†“Yeah. The second stage booster just exploded. Stand by.†Jeb spoke calmly. Afterall, he was used to this sort of thing. He turned a handle reading “abortâ€, which fired the launch escape tower, ripping the capsule away from the third stage booster, now inexplicably burning on a ballistic course towards the next continent. Almost instantaneously, the command module\'s hatch busted open,depressurizing the cabin at an altitude of 30KM, where the pressure is low enough to kill a Kerbal. Jeb, Sean-lock and Bugsy pressurized their suits immediately and hung on tight to their straps to avoid falling out of the hatch. “Hey look!†Jeb laughed. “We\'re in zero-G.†Free-fall had its effect on random nuts and bolts now floating around the capsule, suspended in mid air. After passing their Apokee, the command module should have deployed its parachutes, but fortunately they were ripped out during the instant cabin depress. “Brace yourselves, fellas.†Jeb said. They pushed back in their seats and slammed into the water doing 119m/s. The entire pod was nearly disintegrated, but Jeb and his fellow explorers suffered nothing but being flung 50 feet. When he surfaced in the middle of the ocean, Jeb looked around, examined his surroundings, analyzed the shape of the vehicle and turned to Sean-Lock and Bugsy to spit some water out. “Alright. Grab the tape from the CM, let\'s put this launch vehicle back together again and give it another run in a few minutes.â€

Make a spacewalk around Earth (on a fifty foot tether, floating free from a small capsule over the Earth) or walk on the Moon?

Ydow would win if he took out the stars. No WAY would you be able to see those when looking straight at the light side of Earth.

Uh... There was no fighting. KSP is a single player space program game with rockets... I can\'t BELIEVE you guys seriously have wars.

Kerbal Space Program: Best Launch Abort ever! (HD!) Things go wrong on liftoff while testing a new HUGE rocket designed for travel to other planets. Instead of making it tens of thousands of kilometers, however, this rocket is barely off the pad when it\'s time to say goodbye to it. Using my test-pilot instinct (LOL), I was able to fire away from it using a complicated series of problem solving ideas that I had to think of and react to in about one second or die. The Kerbals did make it out of this alive.

I have always wondered that, too. I think since they\'re noobs, they think that throwing a 'K' in front of everything is proper lingo for the KSP community... Who knows.

Pretty simple plan . Yes, but then you don\'t have a calculated series of experiments and ideas that you\'ll be able to carry out. My mission order is as follows: 1.) Attached EVA to practice mobility while moving between fixed handles on spacecraft body. 2.) Free-floating test of the MMU. Drift 5 meters from craft and test pitch, yaw and roll axes. 3.) Free floating advanced test of the MMU. Maneuver around the ship at various distances, getting the hang of fine controlling during untethered spacewalks. 4.) Lunar surface 10 minute EVA and return/ 5.) Lunar Surface 2 hour EVA and return 6.) Lunar Surface EVA series on one mission. Three EVAs planned which will span over two real-life days at the game. These will be to collect samples and perform a lot of advanced science. 7.) Minmus landing and EVA. 8.) Advanced series of Minmus EVA and sample returns. All of these will have detailed flight plans and checklists so that I get the best performance out of my missions.

Mostly just the mod makers make names for themselves. Look at Nova. He\'s a dev now and I bet he\'s making thousands a week. Lucky son of a gun.

Why did Caesar get banned?

Me too. A friend recommended the game to me back in July of 2011, but I didn\'t want to play since you couldn\'t go to the moon. I decided not to download it. Well, months went by. In December of 2011, I was planning to hook solid rocket boosters up (very calculated of course) and launch two unmanned wagons into the sky. I was designing all sorts of guidance systems, motor designs etc. I planned that if both flights were successful, either myself or my friend would launch aboard one of the 'Radio Flyer' wagon boosters. Due to lack of funding for all of the things we needed, I realized fairly quickly that it would be impossible. I wanted rocket science, though. So I remembered back to July and said, 'I think I\'m going to give that Kerbal game a try.' I came in at 13 and now I\'m hopelessly addicted to this game... lol

LOL. Prob not. Twinky\'s like 8.

Sometimes I do entire missions with no time warp. It\'s fun lol.

Only noobs use the K\'s and call it Kearth. When you start to play the game more, get better and turn into not-so-much-noob, that\'s when you realize how retarded all that 'K' shit is. They\'ll learn eventually.
