Kerbal Model Rocket launch + a little bit of cinematics

[Strainborm]

Somebody successfully launched a model rocket with a GoPro and a small figure of Jebediah Kerman, and made a pretty awesome video out of it

Daru- oh wait this isn't youtube

model rockets really are the best, even better when you can't find where they landed

[Naten]

Excellent work!

Now build or use a model Jeep as a recovery crew car, or do a water launch and make an RC recovery boat. That'd be really cool in my opinino.

Don't you hate it when your rockets have uncontrollable roll during take off! not a bad landing thou, and Jeb lived, its a win!

Happened to me today! I made a post about it too.

Oh, I Know where (one of) my model rocket landed with its crew of lego'nauts: About 40 feet up in a tree, 15 feet out from the trunk. The crew capsule and 'chute is still there 18 months later. Of course, the rest of it disintegrated in the rain.

Excellent video, but...

Is every cinematic now going to feature this song? not saying "i don't like it", of course...

I think that rocket's TWR is a bit too high

Probably. It does work so spectacularly well with KSP (or other spaceflight) videos though. And it still gives me goosebumps, despite hearing it goodness knows how many times now.

Hello! I made this video.

Here's the original thread, posted all the way back at the end of March. It includes some information on the rocket. I might revive that thread, as it is evident that many people are still interested in my rocket launches.

Strainborm, thanks for featuring this video, though it would have been nice if you could have tracked me down before posting this. If you type in "GoPro Kerbal" or some similar term into the search box on the top right, you'll find all of the places that I've posted Kerbal rocket video on the forum. Just a note for the future, nothing personal.

Thanks for all of the compliments from all of the great people here on the Forum. I literally only used M83's Outro because it was the only music I had on my computer that worked sufficiently well with the video that I shot. (I probably won't use it again in any of my videos, as I am well aware of it becoming cliché.)

That was an awesome video!

and so, the Kerbal Space Program comes full circle. From little men (made of tinfoil) lofted on model rockets, to this game, and back.
