Mun Rover Found Footage

[Matthewx777]

Ok, you know when Squad put a new update for KSP, and they made a video with it. Well, in the scene where the guy takes his helmet off and dies, then his helmet rolls across the munar surface. well the shadows for the two other astronauts go left. BUT, Kerbin in the background has a shadow going to the right. I would like to see what you think.

Looks like that Mun landing was staged. Time to bring in the Mythbusters.

They never went to Mün, it was filmed in Kerbywood. Obvious.

There´s no evidence he died by taking off his helmet. The helmets may in fact be a snack-eating-prevention device, so they won´t empty their sparse supply of snacks too quickly.

I have noticed that only very recently people talk about Kerbals loving snacks. Even when the Lander Can IVA and Cupola IVA were released, people payed little attention to the fact that both of the sticky notes have snacks referenced on them.

well, wouldn't you die if you went to the Mun and took off your helmet, and it could just be censored from people seeing his body implode

[Xeldrak]

well, wouldn't you die if you went to the Mun and took off your helmet....

Maybe you would die - but would Jebediah Kerman die too? I don't think so....

[Matthewx777]

but then what would be the point of helmets

[POTKC]

but then what would be the point of helmets

To stop the Kerbal from eating all the snacks!!!

[earth]

thats obvious! Why would they wear it on kerbin or laythe if they werent made to prevent them from eating snacks?!

[Tw1]

Only one thing to do. TO THE MUN!

Examine that video, determine the approx. location they were at, (this is done using Kerbin position in the sky) and land there. Warp until the shadow on Kerbin looks right. Then experiment!

Bonus if the Kerbals you take are named after the mythbusters.

The thing that I mainly noticed about that video is the rover, since it has a bunch of parts that aren't in the game, like the wheels with built-in fenders.

[blspblackdeath]

Of course it was fake. The tech we saw on this rover isn't available for the Kerbal Space Program. So this footage is obviously from kerbwood. They took some crappy parts from the yard and put them together to a buggy which they thought would look like a munrover. And the shadows. And the waving Flag. Wretched I say!!!

[RocketPilot573]

Fake... How does the camera pick up sound when it's in space?

[EndOfTheEarth]

Does anyone still have that .gif showing the Mun background falling over to show that it was staged on Duna?

[KerbMav]

Oh guys ... :D:D

[koshelenkovv]

well, wouldn't you die if you went to the Mun and took off your helmet..

No, if you put it back fast enough.

..his body implode

It doesn't.

[Whackjob]

No, if you put it back fast enough.

It doesn't.

But it is interesting feeling the moisture boil off of your tongue at room (?) temperature.
