Last night's livestream was all about exploring ridiculously high accelerations using procedural boosters with explosively short burn times. Originally broadcast on twitch.tv/szyzyg
This nearly 3-year old stream is one of my all-time favorites. Read my mind about the manhole cover, I was thinking about it not one minute before you mentioned it.
Yes, I saw FMJ a couple years after going through Marine Corps boot camp (while I was a Sergeant, IIRC)... it was ridiculously authentic. I also liked Eyes Wide Shut - but it was generally panned by most people. I believe his secret is his focus on the immersion into the story rather than the special effects.
Ha I was 14 when I started watching you and now I'm 15. I find your videos very interesting and they teach me about space travel and Ksp so keep it up and good job.
Ahhhh. Haha. Scott named dropped Azzido Da Bass. The track is called Doom's Night. The Timo Maas Remix was the good one. Used to play it in my UK Garage sets. Big up from a fellow DJ and astronomy nerd.
02:24 "Yes! Now we need for figure out how to make this not explode" Scott channelling Martin-Marietta after trying to launch Vanguard TV3 (the infamous live televised "Flopnik")
While watching this, I was inspired to try again to build a cannon. This time I tried something new, that didn't actually have the SRB attached to the barrel, instead having it held in front of the barrel by trusses so that the mouth of the cannon was free to hold a small nose cone as a "bullet" and a stack separator as a "wad". I got it to shoot a nose cone straight up into the air, but when I laid the thing on its side and put wheels on it, it quit working. I thought I finally had something that would fire the nose cone through the structural thingies into the VAB, but when I tried it, the nose cone exploded in the barrel. Then the SRB I was using blew the entire cannon backwards into mission control in an MIB-style demonstration of recoil that left me with a mess to clean up.
+lordhelmchen616 LOL umm..my highest abv without modern yeast, and chemistry was 9.5. I used almost four pounds of malted grain per pound of water. then I extracted the starch from the mash....it took 4 months to age after fermentation. I must be doing something wrong..
Belgian sours are my favorite Scott, lol. Silly stupid sour is a great one, if you ever come accross it. Probably one of the most sour beers I've ever tried
@@thenoobypro790 Oh damn I don't even remember commenting this hahahah. The funny thing is, at the time I was in high school and I was just getting interested in this stuff. Now I'm over halfway done with an aerospace engineering degree. Time really flies
Hey Scott, have you tried using an Electrovoice RE20 microphone? I think your voice would probably sound epic through one of those. *The same mic used by most sportscasters
Could this be used as a method for launching vehicles, by placing the object you want in orbit near the clamps when launching and have the projectile (might as well call it that when it flies this fast after running out of fuel) drag it along?
I would enjoy the series on "Things KSP Doesnt Teach You". And when you paused to check your speed at the end of the runway trying to hyper sonic, you were in orbit for just a moment
Scott, I have always wondered about adding more first stages of solid or maybe even Falcon9 stages to a rocket like the SLS or Falcon Heavy. Say 3 solid strap on boosters to the SLS or the Falcon Heavy with 3 or 4 first stages of the Falcon 9 instead of just the two. Are the G-forces too high or the launch platforms just unable to handle that. Maybe requiring complete redesign but would it work? Terry just brainstorming to figure out how to launch larger payloads.
That bullet thing just made me thought.... Could be interesting to emulate Jules Verne "From earth to the moon" cannon... I think in the book there's data enough to check what would have happened if it was really built. Would it really have reached the moon? (Making a procedural booster that matches the acceleration times and power of the cannon ammunition)
Scott you have to play Sir You Are Being Hunted! Nothing like being hunted across the fields by robots in tweed. also looking forward to the "Stuff Kerbal doesn't teach you" series.
I love doing that. especially since it doesn't seem to limit anymore(I thought it used to until recent patches?) so it's just a matter of hammering the increase button XD
The moment they resort to insults, they instantly show that they lost any semblance of believing that they have an argument that is worth debating. I have a new favorite quote :P
35:00 On R. Lee Ermey's improvisation in Full Metal Jacket; the first time he said the line about Cowboy being _"the kind of guy who would f**k a person in the ass and not even have the goddamn common courtesy to give him a reach-around"_ Kubrick stopped the take and asked him what the hell a 'reach-around' is, and after Ermey explained it Kubrick laughed and told him to use that line. R. Lee Ermey is a force of nature, lol.
The biggest problem with "The Martian" is that you would never waste soil the way they did to grow potatoes. Any person that has grown potatoes in their home garden know they would grow them in a bag or trashcan for higher yields. As the green plant gets taller, cover the lowest parts with dirt, and more potatoes will grow.
I think you could benefit greatly from remembering that we now have a search bar as standard, at the top of the game, from a workflow point of view at least.
I'm sad that my model 1/24 Gemini capsule from Revell isn't turning out well. I was a moron and put the two front plates that hold the doors on before the backplate that goes under the capsule. Your supposed to do the backplate first or the entire things doesn't like aligning the to the front plates so there's going to be gaps in the middle of the plates now do what i need to do is make glue or paint walls to cover that grody shit up. Then i saw that destruction effects for KSP was updated and i got all happy inside and imagined the fun i would have with that and BD armory. So it's all good.
Rise of flight is THE ww1 flight sim, if you have trackIR and an X-52/55 you're good to go, it's on sale right now, so it's a good time to get into it.
Scott, I'm having trouble installing universe scaling mods (e.g Real Scale SolarSystem). I was wondering if you could help me install one of the less challenging ones (e.g not Real Scal Solar System but not the lesser scale one).
+Scott Manley Not hating here,but why go with the higher resolution route if the overwhelming majority of users don't have the hardware to appreciate it?
+Scott Manley What's stopping you from doing 60 FPS though? Is it your (local) recording setup? Because if it's the limit of x264 you could try nvenc or quicksync and both should work fine even at the higher resolutions (it should be fine as long as the game runs at 60+ FPS). On the other hand it would make your stream 60 FPS too so you might need to push higher bitrate on the source version and that could be a potential showstopper.
Scott, I'm curious as to what extra planet mod that adds more Kerbalized versions of our system do you consider to be the closest to what the Devs would do? Just curious as to what your opinion is on the different mods for more planets.
Pretty sure If you fire a gun in orbit, the bullet would have a higher velocity, a higher apoapsis (if fired prograde), and a different orbital period. But after a couple dozen orbits.. then it might hit you at a rendezvous.
Skimmed Eve at 1500 km/s on 55km altitude. The probe turned into a cloud of spinning parts that glowed yellow-white once i warped everything back to normal. Also my velocity dropped 1300km/s in an instant. So gazillion Gs of deceleration. Debugged everything of course
back when I would got to the Mun, I would like to do more orbital dilly dallying, So i would pack a couple flea thrusters just to get that higher meters per second
