Rescuing a Mun lander with a cargo SSTO! - KSP 1.3 

BE 🐝 SURE 👍 TO SMASH 👊 THAT 😐 LIKE 💖 BUTTON 🙊 GUYS 👨 TO SAVE 📑 ME 😭 FROM 👉 DYING 💀 OF 💩 DYSENTERY 💩 ONE SUB 💖🌯 *=* ONE 😤 METRONIDAZOLE 💉💯

Funny, I recently had a Kerbal stranded on the Mun. I sent an "unmanned" vessel to pick Jeb up, but by the time I got there I forgot to remove Valentina, and that vessel got stranded on the Mun too so now I had two stranded Kerbals. Sent a second vessel that was able to pick them up but ran out of fuel in high Kerbin orbit. Sent a third vessel, rendezvoused, and successfully landed back on Kerbin safely. With my beginner-tier skills, it was quite the mission.

Time to get a full mk3 crew cabin stuck in the mohole under the ruins of an interplanetary mothership

Matt, you dubious space genius! The eagle-eyed among us noticed that highly inefficient mun launch! You won't convince us it was done on purpose!

i like how you send an ssto to the mun with no problem while i cant even get a plane in orbit

The funny thing is the two dots above the U in Mun makes the U make a "oo" sound, so you're still landing on the Moon.

Me: finally lands on mun Somewhere in the distance: *ON A LONELY PLANET...*

Like button smashed my friend! :P

**starts the video** **sans music** (stopped) **INHALE** WHY DO I ENJOY THIS?!

There was an Eclipse visible at 4:56 . There was a shadow on the Kerbin XD

For all of those raging to know, the mass of the craft seems about ~207.23264973422412671585755748691 metric tons. (Though with the thrust of the rapier varying this is hard to tell.) This was found using the engines, their thrust, the TWR of the craft, and the gravity of kerbin. First, he had 12 rapier engines on the craft, giving ~1260000 Newtons thrust. We can see that his TWR was ~.62 to start with so we use w=t/twr, substitute in w=1260000/.62 to get a weight of 2032258 newtons. Now we use m=w/g to get our mass, so m=2032258./9.80665 gives us 207232.64315540984943890115380889 kg. Or for when he gets out of the atmosphere (keep in mind this will be lower due to fuel burnt): This is easier due to the lack of atmosphere, but we do have the issue of lowered gravity. Newton's universal law of gravitation is 6.67*10^-11*m_1*m_2/r^2. This shows that gravity falls off with inverse square. So we find our new altitude 84363 m, and we add it to surface and divide by normal surface level, 684363/600000=1.140605 Now we square that, 1.300979766025 and take g and divide by that, 9.80665/1.300979766025=7.53 newtons. Now we just run our previous algorithm m=F/twr/g, gives us 138430.973235 kg, or 138.430973235 metric tons.

"Interplanetary Rescue!" Can you launch the next rescue missions from the Island Runway, and pretend it's a private villa in the middle of the Pacific?

I guess I'll have to strand something for you too Matt 😃

your rescuing other peoples kerbals? lets see if you can do this... *Begins mission to strand Valentina and Jedidiah on laythe underneath a submarine with no electric charge or fuel and "accidently" crack Valentina's helmet*

I did not expect Matt to know Colonel Bogey and to use it in the background of his video

Great flag name "Mun" so origional

As someone who has not gotten this game yet, I really enjoy your videos and I love this series and the interaction with the community. Kep up the amazing work!

The eagle eyed are among us!

Video: THE BLUNDERBIRDS!!! Me: Spits water across the room.

When Matt says "I got u fam"to your post which features a craft that is stranded *ACHIVEMENT* *UNLOCKED*

Sooooo, last night I managed to do a great Minmus science mission and on my way back I had an encounter with the mun... I shouldn't have landed... I kinda missed my suicide burn by like 10 meters and slammed down on the mun so hard that my terrier broke. Watching this clip to plan my mun rescue tonight and recover all the "lost" science. hahahaha Thanks for great videos, keep em coming!

How about you take on rescuing Northernlion's missions, Jeb and a new pilot Danke are stranded on the Mun, Danke is locked in his pod because NL placed a ladder on the door. Valentina is also marooned in orbit around the sun, Good Luck

Yes! Hurray. Best ksp series right now

Mr Lowne, you crazy, hansom man, you! Loving this series!

Most insane lander-atachment I´ve ever seen! :-O

Matt Lowne, the person who sends TOO many kerbals and has a cargo door for backup XD

This is awesome!

I really like the rescue concept.

“I got u fam” *You knew this was gunna be good*

The intro makes me laugh every time. Thanks, a lot

This is such a great series, it's really cool that you are giving back to the community like this. I gotta strand a kerbal somewhere and start a something account so maybe one day you will help me lol

I love this series.. Keep it up Matt lawn :)

Lol, was super happy with myself of managing a mun misssion with no cheats and limited tech in career mode yesterday, then watch a Matt video and realise I'm basically an infant XD

MATT YOU DASHING GLASSES-REPAIRING ROGUE! You said that Jeb and his team was going to save the vessel, but HE HIMSELF IS ON THE MUN! EXPLAIN YOURSELF!

I just love the Pathé pastiche! Hilarious!

Is it me or is this channel and Matt so addicting lol

Another Heroic rescue by the BlunderBirds!

User: just completed his first mun landing Matt: *Builds a Mk3 SSTO and upgrades his hangar to top*

"In which me and a bunch of other users built a station around the Mun." You forgot to mention that a certain someone built a module to "hug" and deorbit the station into the Mun.

Blunderbirds OMG :D Brilliant Matt!

Oh my god that introducion is fantastic

OH man that intro is AWESOME!!!

Awesome as always

Yayyyy an alliteration!!! Thank you Matt, you fantastic fan-servicer you

The music video is frekin awesome!

Me: Hey, nice vid. I should watch it! Video: **plays sans and mettaton effects sounds** Me: Now even more so!

you are pretty good at this game man :)

You are very good at this

Just wait till you get someone who just started career mode and had the kraken put Jeb into solar orbit that goes further than eeloo...

That was so cool!

Yes Thunder bird two definitely looks like that and definitely goes to space lol

Yay another blunderbirds video

you make it all look so easy mate

Elegant solution!

Wow! You were able to do it without a maneuver hold!

Nice undertale music usage 10/10

Love the vid

SMASH!!! Smash good. :) Enjoyed the vid, good job. Hope you have a great day...stay safe.

The old 1920s film reel style was great!

And jeb hears the roar of the nuclear engines, how can he hear that? Matt: “ he’s a blimin space kerbal”

Love this video

as soon as the blunderbirds theme came on i said "YES!!"

this guy put whole ksp community to shame

*OMAGAD SANS *THIS GUY IS TRAPED ON THE MUN ! *well I guess they don't have... *...Muny days left *SANS ! THIS IS SERIOUS !! *You're smiling *SHUT UP !

This? This is what rescue contracts in career wanted to be :) I'll point out that, in order to do a career mission with this craft you need a few billion points of science, so, you know, there's that :P

11:41 tries to use smart words to trick us.

How did Jeb re-enter the atmosphere without a command pod? He's Jeb. He does whatever he wants.

I think the inspiration thing is the other way around, Matt.

11:52 you didn’t get away with it by me

Damn NASA take notes on that space shuttle

Matt is the best

SO MUCH UNDERTALE MUSIC IN THIS VIDEO

even with a solar eclipse! neat!

Hey Matt, the RCS build aid mod gives you the dry center of mass in the editor for building spaceplanes, which has saved me loads of time when designing SSTOs. That way, you don't have to empty the tanks.

it baffles me how somebody can do orbits so well.... i cant even follow to "to the mun part 1" training scenario without getting lost as soon as it comes to adding a manouver. i just cant wrap my head around it

When u think ur good at ksp and then realize Matt is always better.

This video is very nice

a small suggestion for a video, make a montage of small planes launching missiles and bombs made from fuel tanks and solid rocket boosters on kerbin at various targets (such as rovers and random kerbals or structures, or pretty much anything)

I once took 7 hours to save a kerbal because I forgot a decouple between the engines and the rest of the ship. I was an idiot so I landed my kerbal on the moon using all of my fuel and his Eva pack, and then landed a new craft closeby, before walking 3 KM manually, and then launching and reverting a billion times. It was stressful, but I made it.

U should make Star Wars fighters and try and fly them into space

love the undertale music

blunderbirds are GOO!!!

That was cool

“I think I got away with it” WRONG Lowne

Hey jeb didn’t technically get back to eart- I mean kerbin, he stayed on the ship Jk, good video btw

how to get to the mun without setting up maneuverer nodes: if you dont want to get to orbit before going to the mun launch when the mun is coming up over the eastern horizon and pitch east, then once outside the atmosphere perform a small burn to put yourself on the trajectory, once at the mun do the same in reverse and the exact same thing to get back to kerbin (if you do want to go into orbit, head east wait until the mun is over the horizon and then do everything else from there)

Well in my game, Jeb is currently adrift in deep space. He’s been out there for about a year now. Probably died of starvation. I lost contact with him after he escaped the solar system with just a command pod

0:32 "Putting there lives on the line a very unaware of the potato yes" -Google Auto translate 2017

Matt you marvelous maker of magnificent machines!, what will you do next?

Matt Lowne is Sans confirmed

lol i finally landed a kerbal on minmus and the lander was destroyed. i made a rescue mission and only had enough delta v to get into orbit :'(

Love your use of Undertale music

I just made my first mun landing, my way to get back was to build an accent stage, dont always use the same rocket for landing AND take-off!

Very cool

I think what you were trying to explain was the point of pivot. If you wanna "Git Guud" at taking off, make sure you put your wheels between the center of mass and edge of the wing. The closer your wheels are to the edge off your center of mass, the easier it will be to take off. (Just remember to take into account where you center of mass is when empty). Get your pivot point right, and taking off with planes is EASY is cake

OMG UNDERTALE MUSIC =D

Amazing

Your are the best you tuber in the world

What if you did a mission where a bunch of kerbals go on a holiday to the Mün in a vulture class SSTO, by refueling at one of your space stations. Nice video!

Matt’s SSTO: liftoff, escape kerbin, kerbin orbit, escape trajectory out of kerbin, approaching mun, mun orbit, mun landing, save jebediah Kerman, mun liftoff, escape mun, mun orbit, escape trajectory out of mun, approaching kerbin, kerbin orbit, re-entry, landing. My SSTO: liftoff, engine explodes because it was slightly touching the ground,crashes in ocean. Or liftoff, go around kerbin, tries to land, wheels explode even with 18375936273940471628394735273859626E+ 326426 parachutes.
