Not just any old challenge, but a tribute to the British Interplanetary Society's speculative design for a real life moon rocket published in 1939. ( www.bis-space.com/ )
Before anyone asks, it took about 20 tries to perform the landing correctly, you need to cut the power with a margin of about 0.1 seconds, and I'd wasted all my sepatrons on making sure I didn't land on the wrong side of the Mun.
Kerbal Space Program is an indie sandbox game developed by Squad kerbalspaceprogram.com

I just couldn't take my eyes off Corgun Kerman. He was just completely terrified right the way through up until his parachute opened.

@oneheartonemind2681 9 лет назад

Greatest ascent stage from the Mun I've ever seen

@Onychoprion27 10 лет назад

That takeoff from Mun is halarious!

@gregwinnie9676 9 лет назад

I love how he trys the whole, retract/redeploy landing legs trick a couple times, and then is just like "Ahhh screw it." in true Kerbin spirit.

@TheDingoMajority 9 лет назад

So they designed a giant, multi stepped bullet with people in it

@Irrixiatdowne 9 лет назад

Ahh, if onlythe classic 'bribe your contemporaries with alcohol' technique were more effective... Though considering the lack of reentry shielding, perhaps it's best the great science fiction writers of the time didn't draw straws for a suicide mission. Provided the rocket even made it as far as reentry.

@slyguythreeonetwonine3172 9 лет назад

Oh God them wobbly boosters on launch! Priceless, but also one of the little things I hope they can fix.

@Aurasmae 8 лет назад

+Slyguy threeonetwonine You fix it by adding struts...

@slyguythreeonetwonine3172 8 лет назад

The Aura Tree Yea but you shouldn't need *huge* amounts of struts, or perhaps I was using them incorrectly. Its been a while since I've played KSP.

@5Andysalive 8 лет назад

+Slyguy threeonetwonine Hard to tell what was or wasn't in the game in 11/2012. Certainly no real athmosphere and heating physics.

@TheAechBomb 4 года назад

it can still get wobbly, but it's better now :P

@artgone2670 10 лет назад

That Munar landing was scarily close to the surface one unfortunate hill and you were roadkill. Some fancy flying sir I doff my hat to your black powder mystery machine.

@josephadkins4055 9 лет назад

I think it needs more boosters.

@Polite_Cat 11 лет назад

Scott, I really like it when you tell stories about history like this for commentary! A lot of this is very interesting and I had never heard of before. Please tell more of what you know about space and related history!

@AtomicCuttlefish 11 лет назад

I absolutely love these videos you do, hearing about early space travel plans are just so amazing.

@icantfindausefulname 11 лет назад

Once again I'm in awe of your ksp achievements scott,keep em coming mate

@sandercohen5543 6 лет назад

Good old fashioned storytelling scott manley, humbly pioneering the youtube SRB space race. First bradley whistance’s mission to eve, then stratzenblitz to the moon AND rendezvous. Isn’t it long past time for you to raise the bar yet again, mr.manley? ;)

@nathanielstanford3115 11 лет назад

His design is SO brilliant, like using the individual groups of sepatrons for fine adjustments, and the munar takeoff.

@Myuutsuu85 8 лет назад

That was very interresting commentary. Thank you for sharing this story with us.

@Zillmarillion 11 лет назад

7:45 - 8:15 Just pure epic! I was on the edge of my seat and I wasn't even piloting it. Great work!

@f4fwildcat29 10 лет назад

Was not expecting a big explosion 8 minutes in. Also. Holy crap Scott... You actually did it

@PTNLemay 11 лет назад

Nothing can stop Scott, even with a half blown-up capsule, he can fly it home!

@KaiCalimatinus 9 лет назад

You know, I'd love some space agency or Mr. Musk or some one to recreate the plans. Obviously this would be incredibly dangerous for a human crew, but just a probe in a correctly weighted capsule on top of the powder rocket stack. Just to see if we can land it on the moon, deliver some coffee for the next manned mission :)

@gargbank 11 лет назад

Scott i really liked this video in particular ! You should really make more videos where you are also talking about human space history. Really interesting way to make a video! Hey.. Maybe you should try answering a question regarding astronomy/space while showing ksp gameplay. That would be cool

@qbradq 8 лет назад

very interesting! loved the commentary.

@MaskofPoesy 11 лет назад

that was one interesting episode, couldn't hold myself from chuckling at Mr. Lewis and J.R.R Tolkien's kind denial to join to the society

@samsonguy10k 11 лет назад

As CCRLH85 said. One thing to keep in mind is each additional plotted conic is less exact. Usually just 2 or 3 is recommended. Any more and you won't get an accurate enough plot to really know what's ahead.

@Quinton238 10 лет назад

The liftoff from the mun was possibly the most kerbal thing I have ever seen :)

@silvercomic Год назад

A JAXA probe is now on the way to the moon and will attempt to land with SRB's. I choose to believe they were inspired by this video.

@scottmanley 11 лет назад

Yeah, I never had the patience to attempt it in the past, I can't touch Ablu444's flying, he's the Stig of spaceship game. That's why I chose to differentiate the video by discussing the BIS moon lander.

@EncinoRecords 8 лет назад

i was trying this the other day. the single most time consuming project

@helmutlvx 11 лет назад

That was a great story, I really enjoyed it

@rnedisc 11 лет назад

scott, you're awesome!

@victor_silva6142 5 лет назад

Ah THE BIS guys sure knew their shite in the ol'gold times!

@tetsujin_144 7 лет назад

It's not *just* SRBs if you're also using decouplers! :) (...There's nothing like "decoupling" your first stage by firing a second rocket engine through it until it overheats and explodes...)

@mnb134 7 лет назад

Gotta be careful with this method, if you use multiple rockets side by side, they may overheat at different rate and mess with your center of thrust and you will loose control. Some engines like the terrier doesn't generate enough heat to overheat and explode adjacent parts(learnt that the hard way the day i forgot a decoupler).

@Guywiththetypewriter 11 лет назад

Scot Manley... the only man TRULY at JEB standards of bravery :3

@vikkimcdonough6153 6 лет назад

I recall reading somewhere that using black-powder rockets for a munar rocket would require a rocket several orders of magnitude larger than the Earth...

@AhmedKhan-jg4vt 11 лет назад

I like how you show your video and talk about science. :)

@centralintelligenceagency9003 5 лет назад

3:08 "But sir Mumford Crumblebottom, do you deem it necessary that your rocket should look like your jolly stiff-necked pantaloon groundhog?"

@MrGamblor 11 лет назад

Great video, really interesting.

@Stings2pee 11 лет назад

This was very impressive. Great story too. :DD

@aferguson182 11 лет назад

A 48 hour live stream I think by the developers of KSP on the 29th November. It will be on twitch. They are going to have multiple guests during the live stream and I assume Scott will be one of them :)

@Alien_Bob 11 лет назад

In that case they are all part of the pantheon. I would not have the patience for this.

@anzaca1 6 лет назад

8:29 A spacesuit with a cape. So the BIS basically invented most superheroes.

@Mostlyharmless1985 11 лет назад

I love that not 30 years after we barely lifted off the ground, we had ambitions to go to the moon.

@pyromaniacal13 11 лет назад

That is absolutely ridiculous. You actually did it.

@rrolo1 11 лет назад

What strikes me as odd is that they had thought on using peroxide to produce steam for the landing steer and never thought on using that to pump the liquid fuel of the proposed liquid engine. That was exactly what von Braun dig in the V2 :/

@scribejackhammar 9 лет назад

Corgun was terrified the entire way up.

@VibratingDolphinNow 11 лет назад

That was a quite... er... interesting way to take off from the moon. I've never seen someone do that before (successfully, at least).

@oEQjet 11 лет назад

that was the flashiest mun landing I have ever seen.

@keiyakins 3 года назад

I'm just imagining Tolkien getting involved and working on figuring out how to decode moon language.

@Zorn27 11 лет назад

very cool story and mission :)

@MinecraftYear 11 лет назад

I beg Jeb would have loved that Mun landing.

@gilamonsterz 10 лет назад

I lost it when you launched from Mun :D

@Hamachingo 8 лет назад

+Adam Frost Same here. "Screw those landing legs, we'll just reaction-cartwheel around, 270° heading, hmmm... S-key should makes us go up right? Here we go!" :D

@willowthewispy 11 лет назад

Thanks for the interesting story! :)

@Naelo 11 лет назад

A lunar rocket with only SRB's? That is *puts on sunglasses* lunacy! YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAHHHH

@gtdaquitaine 11 лет назад

Pulling a string and lighting off a honeycomb of solid rocket motors? That's practically more KSP than KSP itself.

@Ybbop 11 лет назад

A horizontal lift off on the mun with solid rocket boosters... i am still laughing right now....

@InventorZahran 4 года назад

Thank God[dard] for liquid-fueled rockets!

@Thetarget1 11 лет назад

This design sounds very streampunk. It would make for an awesome movie.

@tincanspaceman 11 лет назад

Well... you took "MOAR BOOSTERS!" so seriously that you did a Mun mission with just SRBs... Wow...

@TheRazarator 11 лет назад

You. Are. Awesome!

@TiMb0n3 11 лет назад

The ultimate headache producer...

@shoe7ess2 9 лет назад

I'd love to see you re-create this mission with FAR and DRE, and if you're really daring, with RSS. If I saw something like that I'd be friggin amazed.

@ProbablyStephenKing 11 лет назад

I'm not the biggest fan of steampunk but that sounds like a good idea. Maybe Scott needs to get a team together and make one.

@EraiGhaell 11 лет назад

Great story, very educational :-)

@puct9 10 лет назад

OMG i always dreamed of puttig a rocket of SRBs into orbit...

@snarfblast14 11 лет назад

That was the most KSP Mun landing ever.

@awimachinegun 11 лет назад

That snowball makes you sound like you smoke 10 packs a day.

@scottmanley 11 лет назад

yep, I figured it was worth a try....

@lucasandersons 10 лет назад

That asparagus stage SRB made me lol

@samsonguy10k 11 лет назад

Actually with SRB technology today, it is perfectly possible. All that is needed is plotting out the exact fuel needed for each rocket.

@DJoppiesaus 11 лет назад

8:04 Smoother landing than I ever have made myself!

@Abrogator91 11 лет назад

I love that munar takeoff lol

@agentEE7 11 лет назад

@scottmanley 11 лет назад

I guess I'll need to think of something to say :)

@FUTURETOONS 10 лет назад

badass!

@wilkins67890 11 лет назад

I wonder if they ever even though about what would happen if for some reason the black powder rockets were to explode on take off and how they would abort the mission

@RichardZadoIII 11 лет назад

If I had to guess, I'd probably say he means something like Kerbalcon, as in convention, but using a K, as it has to do with these funny little men.

@xanosdarkpaw1 11 лет назад

...that was crazy.

@MrDoItNice 11 лет назад

The Saturn V was capable, and did launch in the rain.

@Retales 11 лет назад

8:30 My thoughts were approximately: "Wow, well done. Poor Corgun, though, he's going to be trapped on the M-... ಠ_ಠ"

@disloyalhellboy 11 лет назад

the ksp devs are doing a 16 hour livestream sometime

@CaryTheEagle 10 лет назад

Maybe you could try doing an interplanetary mission with SRB's only. Seeing as they have now added tweakables to the SRB's.

@pendrin2020 11 лет назад

There are trees at your landing site... this blows every preconceived notion of KSP out of the water.... effing trees man...

wonder is sepatrons or however you spell that would or could be used as in the plans he talked about in the honeycomb idea.

@Alien_Bob 11 лет назад

You are a god among men

@lobsterbark 11 лет назад

Higher specific impulse means it makes things more effeceint. Look it up on Wikipedia.

@carltehkin 11 лет назад

Awesome! Have you seen ablu444's video of SRB-only to the moon? It's pretty nuts. Old SRBs, too.

@chrissharp8276 11 лет назад

I haven't seen any other videos talking abou the BIS moon rocket?
