I'd have let the station on high eliptical orbit at Mars, and then send the crew on the return vessel to rendevouz with lander. When coming back on the ascent vehicle, dock again with return vessel, back to station and home. This way you save fuel, and mass, because you nethier need the docking adaptor. Great video anyway ;)
When I saw where the Earth was, I knew you were at a near polar inclination, but I didn’t think you’d actually land at Shackleton crater given that it wasn’t discovered until decades later.
can you pass me the craft file pls, i need it for helping my friend doing a simple moon mission on ksp rss ro (direc asent dosent need a rendevouz and docking so more eazy)
Man I watched this & all of your videos in 2015,2016-2017.Because of your videos I am interested in space & aeronautics in 1st & 2nd grade.And I want to became a pilot or astronaut!
I don’t know if i’ve commented on here before but this is a really good video in general. The mission, music, cinematography, it’s all really nice and i’ve spent a lot of time watching this religiously, good job
I’m so confused as to why the crew lv is the only one that has the entire srb as the first stage, when everything else would probably cancel out the small profit you gain from replacing the liquid fuel from solid. Great video!
Good, the astronauts have artificial gravity, but they should be able to go from the gravitational area to the zero-gravity area and vice versa. They should not be exposed to the coriolis force all the time during the long journey.
For Ares V? - Procedural Parts, Procedural Fairing - boosters from SLS mod by Macollo - RS-68 engines from Bahamuto Constellation mod - J-2X engine from AIES.
@@gilbert7517 Well I use this account on a daily basis so that's not a problem for me :) - Orion capsule came from SSTU Labs - RL-10 from Chaka Monkey - Landing legs: AIES (I don't recommend them, they were buggy as hell) - Structural pieces: Stock + SXT - Solar panels: Raider Nick Solar Panels - Antennas : AIES Note that many of those mods are outdated right now (some like AIES were outdated even in 2017) and there are definitely some better alternatives available I believe.
Finally someone puts up a RU-vid flight simulation that shows a manned mission to Mars that also includes an exploration of Mars' moons as well. I just doesn't make sense to go all the way from Earth to Mars and pass Phobos and Deimos by without attempting a landing. I wonder if it would have been possible to imagine a 1970s mission like this use the NERVA nuclear rocket propulsion, and including a long latticework boom amidships like the superstructure seen in your other Constellation program simulation-video. It would be great to show this ship spinning in space to simulate gravity for the astronauts.
very impresive ! But you could have used Modular Launch Pads, wich include launch pads, hold downs, service towers, everything like that wich could have been a nice addition
I can't share the mods created by other people, full list is included in the description: i.imgur.com/c8pxnY7.jpg . Btw. this is for KSP 1.1.3 - I don't even know if all of these mods are updated to the newer versions of KSP.
@@winged Thanks a lot for the answer, I understand, I initially asked that because I can’t find the "wi" mod that is in the mods list. Anyway since I'm already bothering you, are you planing to make videos again ? They were really great and sadly there isn't a lot of ksp alternate space history on RU-vid.
