Pale Blue Dot Tribute

[SovereignWinter]

After getting some of the best success I've had with my videos with my Rosetta video, I thought I'd make one on Voyager and the Pale Blue Dot speech. Hope you enjoy!

How...did you get all those encounters? Also, awesome, which mods?

[MisterFister]

Prolly with HyperEdit, since I don't see a drive system in the flybys. Else, infinifuel. And the launcher was hardcore KW, with IR for the extension antenna. Possibly others.

Yukon0009, I would be lying if I said I got a grand tour without some helpful save editing. While I didn't use HyperEdit, the principle was the same, I edited my quicksave file to put my Voyager probe with it's fourth stage in orbit around the different planets. Jool was the only one I didn't have to since it's pretty easy to get to all the moons once in orbit around it. Although I did have some help from the infinifuel that MisterFister mentioned since that last stage didn't carry much fuel.

That said, the mods I have installed are:

Ambient Light Adjustment

B9 Aerospace Pack

DMagic Orbital Science

Enhanced Nav Ball

Flight Recorder

Hot Rockets

KAS

KAX

Kerbal Alarm Clock

Kerbal Engineer

KW Rocketry

6S Service Compartment Tubes

Universal Storage

The extension antenna you mentioned MisterFister is actually a magnetometer from the DMagic Orbital Science mod pack. I really hope they have a stock magnetometer soon 'cause I think it looks awesome!

Thank you both for the watch!

Thanks SovergeinWinter!

Really really nice, Sagan's voice would have fitted the bill (his eloquence in speaking is bested by none, wish he was still alive) but i understand your choice to spin it into your own kind of tribute. Saying that, i did read somewhere that the author of the

had been approached by the Sagan family (wife or daughter?) and requested his visage not be used in his "products". Quite a shame as Carl's mission was to broaden the reach of scientific thought, and those vids did exactly that. But you may have dodged a bullet there by narrating it yourself!

Rep inbound, keep the vids coming

[SovereignWinter]

Daishi, my original intent was to use Sagan's voice, for the exact reason you stated, man what a voice! But I wasn't having luck finding any raw audio so I thought, "well, I'm no Sagan, but I love his message so I'll share it myself". I had no idea they wanted to stop his visage from being used, that truely is a shame and sounds like it goes against what he wanted to do. If requested I'll remove the video, but until then hopefully it makes it's rounds and inspires other kerbalnauts as well.

Thank you for watching and your comments!
