KSP New Horizons: to Ernus and back 

Even for Kerbals, I'd say going to Eve or Arin (a planet in the NH mod) would be enough for bread. Nah, what am I thinking!

Alex Siemers Yeah, Arin's atmosphere is about 570K if I remember correctly.

Ah, kerbal humor!

Go SpaceX!

Outdated, Its called the ITS booster now...

@@TheEventHorizon909 Outdated, it's called Starship now

@@mariasirona1622 I call it fake futurism.

+Dominic Donahue I did it once and im not insane ... wait ...

Because they're already insane

Their computer has to be insane, at least.

Primary Secondary Sometimes you do lol

"That's my secret Captain, I'm *always* Insane" :P

+Jonah Beale because scientific equipment can handle only 1200 K, but near Ernus it's almost 1450 K, so I made burns until goo containers got 1170 K. Without scientific equipment this mission shouldn't be so difficult, for example craft can work without radiators

Мод пак вообще классный

Аййййй тут русские в американском видео!

+Ohio Gamer KSP 1.05 made this mission impossible, say thanks to squad. by the way, in 1.05 fps with this craft drop to 0.1 so I will wait for 1.1.

+exalosm yeah, you need lots radiators to keep your craft safe from heat.

Nick Lamgamer how many? because I've put quite a few on and it still explodes.

+Ohio Gamer like 10, more will help your craft from getting overheat.

+適当 who is this chinese guy? ( or japan )

Old KSP version, kerbals could survive for 12 seconds. But after 1.1 update it's impossible to plant flag on Ernus without cheating

exalosm I'm pretty sure it's possible to put a flag on the dark side though.

But it's extremely difficult to land on the dark side on Ernus and survive :D

exalosm Well, you don't have a lot of options, do you? That's the point of Ernus - it's frickin' hard. You either boil your face off or land in the dark. Landing in the dark actually becomes a lot easier with KER and flashlights.

Just get RadarAltimeter and hit that backquote key, displays how far you are from the surface with a blue meter. Works in 1.3.1

New Horizons 2.0 just came out a few days ago, all ready for 1.1 use.

It was old version of KSPRC with my small adjustments

You might need a few more zeros, 15 should do it.

Sounds logic.

@@alexsiemers7898 factor 5000000000000000

some graphical mod he used.

No shit.

SuperBuizel old astronomer visual pack version

HS cardist hahahaha....

Oh we have a funny guy here don't we?

yea we have

because it's the new horizons mod

Is New Horizons a planet mod or an interstellar mod? I dont remember and the editing does not make it any easier.

+Александр Королёв мод New Horizons добавляет кучу планет и Кербин оказывается на орбите газового гиганта

+exalosm, занятно, я на самом деле думал, что мод NH добавляет детали одноименного аппарата.

+Daniel Meyer a little bit more than 3 year

+Gary B Um, well idk much about ckan I still do all my mods manually but if thats how you do it. 1. Download Kopernicus and New horizons 2. extract zips to desktop, merge the gamedata folders, or move the mod folders into your gamedata folder in KSP (user/ program x86/steam/steamapps/common files/ ksp) if you use steam should be something like that 3.??? 4. Profit!

John Smith OK I load Kopernicus into kerbal game data then load NH into kopernicus game data or kerbal game data? I tried this and just got the loading screen and waited 5 minutes and nothing. Im confused cuz i loaded my other mods w no prob.

John Smith also John do you play career or sandbox? which is better?

Gary B Both are good, depends on what you like. I personally play career and use sandbox for testing sometimes.

+John Smith can u briefly give me the pros and cons of career vs. sandbox? I dont know if i wanna start from scratch again, is it worth it?

Old astronomer interstellar

Ah

New Horizons as you can see

Oh. I thought that was the mission name

reasons

+Atom Tom New Horisons did it!

WAT?

he meant those particles around the sun.

+Bender first 40 sec on video was almost 90 min for my PC

exalosm omg haha I wasn't waiting better than that :D btw cool video, amazing mission and vessel design

+exalosm How does one handle that torture?

MechJeb ?

+exalosm Спасибо

+Goroh35 Direct launch because I can! :D

Offtopic: If you need to go to another planet as fast as possible (in kerbin days), gravity assists will not be so benefitial. Million tons of xenon and kerbin-week burns will be more benefitial at that speeds. Also it is realistic to make long and efficient burns, that how real spacecrafts work (however, in real world we don't care much about the time of the mission, because we don't send people to Mars yet, for example).

This is KSP...and i hate long, bothersome burns...i went to a Planet comparably hard to Ernus (Deeper in the Kerbolar Gravity well and slightly more Gees with same size as Ernus) with full efficiency Planning, took 16 Kerbin Years or so...as only Gravity assist partner is just a Lava Giant with 2.2 Gees worth of Gravity and 1000 Km Radius, 5 Assists were required, then 4 assists of that Sungrazer, i did that as i can just Direct Launch, but my PC can't, the mission also took 5 Kerbals.

It actually was possible to do this without overheating back when this was made, the heating mechanics used to work a bit different

Ahoy, Heff, thanks for explaining

Also, you are the first to reach Ernus with Only Stock+DLC

The “planet” orbits that blue gas giant.

The gas giant is called Sonnah, and it's a part of New Horizons planet pack

New Horizons mod

Shields just lost its' ablator near the sun, no reason to use it

exalosm Did you circularise to LKO before reentering?

No, because I survived without LKO

So why do my unshielded command modules explode when reentering from deep space while yours dont?

It was not deep space, it was elliptical orbit, but in new horizons mod Kerbin has small SOI and it looks like escape trajectory. By the way, from 1.0.4 version game changed a little bit
