Multiplanetary Species Series

[Wiseman]

I'm starting a new career mode playthrough in 1.2 on YouTube, with the goal of making Kerbals a multiplanetary species! I'll be using a handful of mods, including Roverdude's USI Constellation. I'm hoping to post a few of these a week, so please check back on my channel! 

 

[Wiseman]

Episode 2 is live!

 

[Wiseman]

And now, episode 3! 

 

[Wiseman]

Moving right along... to episode 04!

 

[Wiseman]

Suddenly, Episode 05, right on the heels of 04!

 

[Wiseman]

Impact! is fun and profitable! Smashing things into the Mun for science, on Episode 6!

 

[Wiseman]

Let's build a space station! Episode 07 is live!

 

[Wiseman]

What's a space station without a crew? Rendezvous and docking in Episode 08!

 

[Wiseman]

The core of the Kerbin Space Station is in orbit and crewed, but it's low on power. In this episode, we send up supplies to build a solar panel truss, and I just can't be bothered to read the instructions for the hab. Can we get that habitation module inflated?

 

[Wiseman]

The big 1-0! In this episode, I wing it and refuse to read the instructions (again), to disastrous results. Meanwhile, lots of science getting done on the KSS!

 

[Wiseman]

In which I decide I should probably plan these things out a little better! 

 

[Wiseman]

Let's make a great leap forward out of the mid-tier of science, by doing station experiments! 

 

[Wiseman]

Do all the contracts at once? Sure! What could go wrong?

 

[Wiseman]

In which I forget to read my contracts, and try to Claw something on the Munar surface!

 

[Wiseman]

Part three of the Munar Rescue Saga! I might be spending too much time on this, but I thought it was fun. Some of my favorite KSP moments are entirely silly crises of my own engineering that seem so dire in the moment.

 

 

[Wiseman]

Wrapping up loose ends, installing a new KSS module, and doing some science!

 

[Wiseman]

We're back! In this episode, I get back to the core mission of this series - planning for the colonization of Duna. We get started with surveying and base planning!

 

[Wiseman]

Let's commence the construction of our first real base! In this episode, we get started sending our convoy of construction craft to Minmus.

 

 

[Wiseman]

So many launches! This is good practice for how we will set up the base on Duna.

 

[Wiseman]

Go for landing! In this episode, we start doing some minty Minmus science, and start looking for a good spot to build our base.

 

[Wiseman]

In which I ramble about getting things into orbit, and my impatience bites me in the butt yet again.

 

[Wiseman]

We've got a few more pieces of hardware to land before we can start assembly. Also, I show how little I know about using the Konstruction mod pieces!

 

[Wiseman]

What, more work? Yes, of course! We have tons of construction to do, after all that effort getting it to Minmus. In this episode, we commence the building of Minty Station... and find that it's pretty dang slow. But progress is being made!

 

[Wiseman]

Construction continues on Minty Station! I've compressed about 2 hours of playtime into a single zippy episode, so hopefully this is still interesting for you! I wanted to demonstrate the ins and outs of what it actually takes to put a big base together - and this is just the bare minimum. There's much more to come, and we're learning quickly!

 

[Wiseman]

Let's do some science! Now that our base is mostly set up, it's time to actually start getting some returns from it. In this episode, we perform some experiments and send back a return capsule to Kerbin.
