    Great moon mission. Mike, Did you consider sending those little landers on a single bus and just drop three of them in different biomes at once? Allows you to accomplish the mission and if you space them our collect science from the moon constantly. No judgement, just curious about your thoughts on the mission as a concept

    • @MikeAben
      @MikeAben День тому

      I didn't go that route because I was thinking the second landing was going to be that land and return with the Science Jr, but given the troubles I'm having lifting that mission, I probably did good not trying to launch all three at once.

    Interesting. This reminds me of your dredge videos and subnautica for that matter. I’m not sure about live stream but lightly edited would be interesting. Im pretty sure myst is a 90s thing I missed out on. It feels like I was playing battle tech on an amiga one day and the next simcity was on its third or fourth version next. A lot happened in between. I really don’t understand what’s going on, or why you blew the bridge you needed. Anyway. That was fun and distracting. Thank you

    You know what, Mike? Making mistakes is the funniest part of the game for me. I absolutely love doing something wrong, seeing how and why it failed, and then making it better. I usually hate challenging tasks and avoid them, but for some reason, rocket building is a newly discovered passion of mine, even if it's only a game.

    When I was a kid my dad took me to the video store to rent a game. I picked the one with the giant golf ball house because it looked cool. When I put it on the counter the cashier said "you might want to pick a different game, this one's not good". But I picked it anyway. When I played it, I remember a live action video of a guy yelling at me and then jumping to his death. Then I had to click to move around? Wtf? I cried and my dad took me back to exchange it for a different game. I should have listened to the cashier 😂

    Hey Mike, I know you’re getting ready to pick up the contracts tutorial series again, but have you considered doing a mini series on some of the mods you use? I’ve been picking up a fair amount on things like Kerbalism and Kerbal Engineer by watching these live streams, but it seems like every once in a while you pull out something in those mods that I had no idea about. Seems like you have a wealth of knowledge on some of these mods that could be really interesting to see in a series.

    You have to click on the seismometer. It will say run science or collect impact data. Kerbalism might remove that, but I think that would be odd

    • @MikeAben
      @MikeAben 2 дні тому

      The science was running without the seismic impact. I thought Kerbalism forced that, but maybe they changed or I'm remembering incorrectly.

    So I'm following your videos, and they aren't matching up anymore. There seems to be a ton of discrepancies with the delta v numbers. Your videos are great and informative, but as it stands right now, a lot of what you're showing here isn't accurate anymore.

    • @MikeAben

      Sorry, but this video is in KSP 1.12. That was the last major update to the game. Nothing has changed, so there is something else going on. If you can be more specific as to the problem, maybe I can help.

    • @MikeAben
      @MikeAben 2 дні тому

      Watch your time to apoapsis. If it starts going up, stop burning and let yourself get closer. If your time to gets to zero and you start going down (the altimeter is now decreasing), then you started your burn too late. If you don't have time to apoapsis unlocked yet, If your apoapsis is increasing quickly and the altimeter is increasing, stop burning and let yourself get closer to apoapsis. If the altimeter is decreasing, you started burning to late. You can also control this with pitch, but I feel I've already laid a lot on you. It takes practice to get the feel of it.

    Great stream, as always. The reason the impactor didn't do anything science wise, is because that's only for the deployable science that the Kerbals deploy. The seismometer just takes 14 days to run like the other kerbalism experiments. Last stream you were struggling with the attitude control on one of your older satellites, and I think that's because of the "semi-saturable reaction wheels" mod you have installed, because only one or two directions were slow to react.

      No problem. There's a save folder inside your KSP folder. Inside that is a folder for each of your saved games, inside which is ships, then VAB and SPH. Copy the craft file into either the VAB or SPH folder. If you got the game on Steam, you can get to you KSP folder by right-clinking on the game library and selecting Manage -> Browse local files.

Any CC from anyone is hugely appreciated.

      You should definitely install the Express Install. It's there and compatible with the final version of KSP. If it doesn't install the most up to date version of RP-1, you can still upgrade it after the install. I would also go ahead and install RP-1 version 3. This series will upgrade to version 3 anyway. There's no reason to downgrade, and upgrading mid-career will present challenges, as you'll see.

    • @MikeAben
      @MikeAben 6 днів тому

      In stock there is no advantage, but many engines in RP-1 are subject to ullage. That means propellant needs to be forced down into the engine. One way of providing that is by starting the next stage engine while there is still thrust being provided from the previous stage.
