A Dream Chaser turned into Apollo 8 and then to Apollo 11 for some reason...

here we are in Kerbal Space Center I do have this out still the dragon to abort I made that video earlier this week released this video about yeah and in time for tomorrow then redirect everyone that's a great idea do a livestream with me adding commentary to tomorrow that's really funny Oh launch the dreamchaser that's a good idea we're gonna launch a Dream Chaser today after we do this launch abort for fun because why not I'm gonna put this down here so you can see the fuels and things so yeah if you were familiar I did do a video about the launch abort system of the Dragon 2 capsule and here's how it works three two one hip hoop it's passively stable because of this giant trunk here makes it stable and that's a very good thing and then yeah you can just kind of notice how it just stays pointed in the right direction and the cool thing is a suit the second you eject the trunk which we'll do in a second but I'm trying to keep I wanted to see if we can get out to the ocean from here this isn't looking too good so far what do you think I'm trying all right we're gonna eject now notice that oh yeah here we go notice it always goes heatshield first that is a passive that's just how the truncated cone shape of a capsule like this it just wants to go heat shield first um I don't think we're gonna quite make it to the ocean this would be a bad abort not good not good folks so we're gonna do some dream chasing I'm gonna get some music going here we're just gonna do this for a little bit this morning and then I'm gonna go I've got some family stuff going already today it's that time of year so Hagen wants to know can you get in discord if you donate one dollar on patreon so our discord channel is the mission specialist I believe and that is $10 a month for our discord channel we have an awesome community I love discord I love everyone in there yeah and you can obviously do that by going to patreon.com if you are so inclined oh you guys don't have audio on that let me know how the audio level is for Kerbal yeah do a Kerbal challenge that's not a bad idea either let me see what Redditt Kerbal space program challenges right now hold on real quick we're just gonna go up seas yeah we're gonna go to reddit.com slash are slash Kerbal space program just in case is like super super super fun and it sounds more fun than a dream dream chaser it's fun weekly support thread check out our such girl academy that's awesome alright well it looks like to me they don't have a Kerbal challenge for the week okay back to this revert flight to here revert to launch i guess sure and then we're gonna get rid of it tim has a family strange strange thought you're right it does seem kind of weird we're gonna just go here and we're gonna clear the launchpad okay will do we will do will do dreamchaser so i shouldn't build this first in the space plane hangar to make sure it can glide and land successfully because if i can't do that then we ain't doing our job right now dreamchaser you might need to use something like this yeah that already looks pretty dreamchaser ish if you ask me let me pull up a picture dreamchaser so you guys know what it looks like and so i hope it looks like dreamchaser look at it just a little baby Space Shuttle guy ah how great is that okay so it basically has a little nose I think you can hold seven people so we might need to add another section of crew cabin like this sure looking about like that it also has these bulgy bulgy sides that's don't ever say that to someone that's sensitive about their their weight you have some bulgy side I don't know we're just gonna try not only as a single Center let's see let's do a little little tiny there we go something like that because it does just have a single single out like thing in the back and that's actually its docking port believe it or not the docking port is in the back of the vehicle but you know what is the back in space you know what I mean that's the question is what is oh look at that that's cool dreamchaser next look how tiny it is compared to the space shuttle oh here we go so it just has two engines outboard like that leave it like a.j tens or something maybe not AJ tens all right let's uh okay so let's just docking port this baby boy I have not even looked at this update in Kerrville yet I don't even know what's new I'm gonna pull up dreamchaser over here so I'm still looking at it because I that I because I'm not good enough to just do it willy-nilly okay so stub knows in time let's man I'm gonna do this actually especially charting to keep it kind of small will be surprisingly difficult like if we want it to look anywhere like what it should probably look like it will be surprisingly hard let's try something like this I wish he could connect these by easily by the sides without doing some ugly thing like that that looks like that's exactly no not exactly we're gonna want to do something like this all right push these but yeah this is gonna be just right oh look at that it's already dream I'm already chasing my dreams I don't know about you guys dreams have been chased dreams have been secured now we just need those little noses like this chasin my dreams all day long with Sierra Nevada this video sponsored by Steve Adam look at that oh it's just beautiful hole now we're gonna do for the nose cuz that's gonna look weird like no matter what we do almost we can use that one fuel tank again the problem is it's gonna be too long the nose is super stubby on this thing [Music] take it hmm I don't know how I'm gonna make that look decent cuz it's got that like stubby nose stubby little carrot top nose I don't know guys help me is this maybe I'll just go with my first instinct we'll just push maybe we'll have to push this in a little bit all that's gonna drive me crazy with that weird gap oh I just wanted to not be gaped that likes way to dunk that is the ugliest that is the ugliest thing I've ever seen but it it needs to just like stop that's what it needs to do it just needs to it's just stop I'm gonna okay I'm gonna throw this guy up here oh you can change it now oh wow I mean this is clearly it's factually disgusting but let's let's try just adding some like I don't know Joe Duffy who do I think will reach Mars first SLS or bfr if I were a betting human human guide that bets on things I I would not personally bet on SLS ever technically find it I Celeste can't wouldn't fly to Mars it could sure probably send an Orion capsule to Mars but that's it would need to do a whole like thing it has to be connected to other vehicles and building some kind of big giant space tug and a whole infrastructure to get out to Mars so that being said I don't think technically SLS won't really fly to Mars like that really per se yeah this is gonna be really weird I don't know what I'm doing here but if they could if let's reframe the question as instead of will be a far go to Mars let's just say who will get to Mars first like SpaceX or you know or NASA I guess even though NASA will probably be directly helping SpaceX to get to Mars because I don't think SpaceX is getting to Mars alone it's gonna take a whole bunch of people and a whole bunch of help from all over the world in order to get to Mars actually this might this might work ok so I I I do think there's potential for the launch vehicle that goes to Mars being like the VFR variant or whatever it's called starship super heavy because they're literally building it with that purpose in mind ok look at this it's kind of the Uglies looks like there's like a bird that has a nose kind of like this some weird weird beep thing ok no I messed it all up I'm gonna go like this again and I'm gonna put different ones key on here you'll see what I'm doing maybe it won't maybe I won't even see what I'm doing maybe I'm blinded by the light so yeah I don't know I don't that's a hard one to answer because things change so much in the aerospace industry all the time that it's almost not worth like really putting too much weight on current vessels and stuff because stuff just changes all the time look how much be a far slash starship super-heavy has changed in the past three years over at two years really since it came out I mean it's still a very fluid thing things change all the time in the aerospace industry so it's almost I mean I'm not saying that your questions invalid because it's a great question but it's just not really worth speculating too much until we actually get closer to seeing Hardware built SLS has a lot of hardware built VFR they have an engine at least they do have an engine they have they're working on getting the fuselage stuff kind of coming together but unfortunately stuff just kind of takes so long that yeah someone asked what am i making we're gonna make a dreamchaser Sierra Nevadas little baby Space Shuttle yeah it's gonna be very pretty but I don't know how to make the nose look anywhere anywhere close to right part of it looks this is in the right place ish hey cristoph have you seen Elon Musk in interstellar video I have that is amazing someone did way to get it down Dustin and I want I know his little late but try Apollo 8 in case we not sure making history was out last time he did that you're right I don't think I making history was not out the last time I did that I did do that last year yeah that's a good idea but yeah yeah I don't I'm pretty invested now in this dreamchaser even though it's hideous man guys what am I gonna do I don't think that's acceptable this part almost looks okay almost almost looks like it might be a thing let's just push this around here see that kind of looks right but now I just got to figure out how to close this off and make it not look super weird the thing he's an angle grinder yeah it does I know it is not exactly the the most beautiful vehicle of I've ever tried a designing Kerbal something like this that that's getting closer to right now we just got to figure how to fill these gaps with something that looks reasonable here's an idea here's an idea hey how are the levels on everything is is the music and stuff the right volume you guys are plugged on what music beats it's like pitch like completely silent or something which is would be how I just happened to do things in my life [Music] alright we're gonna push this in we're gonna see if we can get this look anywhere close to correct fish why don't make us so those are still visible so that when I inevitably mess up I can get back into editing them hey this is maybe not the worst idea I've ever had it's good it's it's up there this is pretty ugly really quite bad thank you for confirming that the levels are good can you change the color of these now to black oh yes you can this is what we're doing ladies and gentlemen oh my word we're just gonna fill it in with a bunch of panel stuff okay how to do that Oh structural panel let's see what's something that's like small I just want it to be small give me just a little a little bit of love I don't need the whole thing a little bit like this just a little bit oh that's a much bigger one and that's the biggest one of all ladies a little man we do not want that okay so maybe we'll just try building out of these small guys if I can successfully do this then you guys can do anything in life this is gonna be the biggest challenge to close this off and make it look okay it won't I've spoiler alert this is gonna look terrible but at least we'll have tried and that is gonna be a lesson I want you guys to take home with you today at least we tried okay okay not bad flip this around like this no yeah okay okay we're making art now ladies and gentlemen this is fantastic I I had my doubts and now I am full of pride and joy and muscles obviously obviously that's not to work but about this I think this is the same thing I've been using hi there Nora off hello from Paris hey in France thank you for clarifying what we have the pleasure of seeing you in France any time for a fan meeting or a beer or anything you missed me in I was in France at the end of June and I did it I met a bunch of cool people in France and it was awesome I had an art show in Paris and you missed out I will hopefully I need to make it back to Europe soon although who knows guys I don't even I can't tell you I'm gonna be down at like five launches this year so this year might be my I'm gonna just have to be in launch city every day of the minute but hopefully I can make it back down I really want to make it back out to Europe soon because how can you not just want to go back to Europe as soon as humanly possible Europe is awesome let me just try this just try this just to smooth this part out don't judge too much yet man this is pretty ugly blending in I'm not the one that I'm not the one that designed the real spacecraft to not be buildable in Kerbal space program so I'm not gonna blame myself I'm I'm the victim here this is never gonna like it I like how I switch from this is never gonna be the looking good too like this is the greatest thing that's ever happened to immediate like self deprecation within the next sentence but you know that's life ladies and gentlemen you know looking good oh yeah closing these panel gaps going from early 2013 Tesla to late 2015 Tesla with panel gap Corrections oh yeah look at that just one piece at a time one pizza at a time that should be my motto one pizza everyday astronaut one pizza at a time Tim is like taking three this is like taking three random LEGO sets and mixing them up and Tim trying to build a Dream Chaser you're exactly right that's honestly pretty much exactly what I'm doing at this point intelligent intuition happy holidays great great freaking Channel cheers thank you very much intelligent intuition I'm really excited for the videos I got coming out guys we got cancelled part 2 coming up really soon I've been working out there's a lot of animations going on on that one so it just takes a lot of extra time and there's since there's so little footage of some of these things I've just been having to spend a lot of extra timing animating to fill the gap because one of the things I'm trying to get better at this year is not just having videos of my face I think my face to content ratio was very very minimal and you know say what you will about my face I think just content wise it's a lot more interesting to have it filled out as much as possible with with cool space flight hardware so when when you're working on stuff that has been cancelled and is no longer in existence and there's very little footage the next best thing you can do is just animate things so that's what I've been working on it is a lot of work a lot of work especially as I'm not very good at it but I'm getting better spending a lot of you know a lot of time just trying to hone that in to make the best content I can at the end of the day I think that's what matters most good high quality content hopefully high-quality I try at least and obviously I'm gonna struggle to do this but thank you again for your tip this is gonna be ugly I hope you guys weren't planning on this being anything too special use a girders under structural to shape the nose girders under structural to to shape the nose girders under structural to shape the nose girders girders these are girders this is a girder use and also thanks mad Mike omere is off no how did the mir get turned off which one didn't get in there okay just that last one I don't know what I'm doing anymore let's see I'm trying to figure out what you're talking about with girders under structural because I feel like I'm using unlike that there's so many more color options now this is great this is good for us oh now they hang on I got it just look at this now you can change the color of this oh no just the length okay sue say the other day I was trying to do something or I wanted to change the color and I couldn't I wanted a black interstage so we clear I'm not flying in that that bad on the left fourth one down maybe not girders on the left fourth one down these guys the i-beams or okay I'll give that a try I'm gonna trying things I think this seems like a potentially wise idea especially if I can flip this thank you for your tip again by the way and for literally the tip both the tip and the tip okay this might work this is crazy enough to maybe work a little bit you know it's not pretty it's some of it looks great some of this looks abysmal I have another idea hang on hang on hang on why didn't I think of this before screw all of this thank you for those ideas but like always like I feel like I'd say this is the end of my videos I said it recently I don't care what you think tell me what you guys think it was more the sentiment of like I don't care what you think about Blue Origin and then I did immediately almost the next sentence say tell me what you guys think about this so yes welcome to the world of someone that is trying to get your involvement but also wanted to remind you that it's okay to to just be positive about things to be negative look this might be what I was missing all of these days of the world my look at this come to Adelaide Australia please I should have Tom I really should have for IAC last year unfortunately just absolutely was not gonna work out for me especially last year is just like way too busy but I really do want to make it down on that on the southern hemisphere again New Zealand was amazing I want to maybe pop over to Australia next time I'm in New Zealand I know it's not really that close but compared to here it's a lot closer okay okay look it we're getting somewhere guys we're getting somewhere this is starting to look like a thing that I'm trying to make it look like that's interesting who knew that you could almost succeed push this out just a little more just just in just a little more push this in just a little more hey oh we are making art this is almost Dream Chaser II still very wrong but not bad I'm gonna go ahead and say this is what I'm gonna do I'm happy enough with that mad Mike no more tips for you except this one Thank You Mad Mike I'm sorry that I backed up immediately on your wonderful idea but I think this will work pretty well and then we're just gonna add these wing strikes here for some beautifulness I'm gonna push these in like this quite a bit and then maybe push them forward hang on another still looking really weird yeah I wish you could like cut off the think I'm want just ah can you take an angle is there an angle grinder mod and Kerbal because I think I would benefit greatly from an angle grinder uh hey I don't know if it has a little tip but we're gonna maybe just keep the little tip on that one that looks fun that's play Chris man sounds like sounds like you've been you got something on your mind here today no judgment let me try to make sure this actually properly centered there we go that seems writer alright dream chaser really coming together looks like it's made by someone who doesn't have eyeballs so maybe I need to do better sorry this is this is quite embarrassing this is very bad this is this is a shame to the entire aerospace industry yikes something like this though hey there we go we're getting there I almost like this we're starting to look like the thing we're trying to make I didn't know I could do this now the question is do we just roll up some fins like this basically for the fins or do we have to go with something beefier than this if we do some of both cuz this could kind of look right this is getting back into that Bismil mode but hey kind of cool kind of cool okay okay I think this is this is starting to shape up a little bit guys all right let's let's take a look oh it's very steep that's like a 45-degree rake isn't it okay I guess it's about right look it's actually kind of I am appalled in the best way can you be appalled in a good way there is a Paul just inherently negative look it and then you know what we're gonna do we're gonna instead of having front landing gear I mean we're not done yet but I'm getting ahead of myself we're gonna have an air brake because the did you know it doesn't have a wheel on the front just has like a drag II thing that stops it so we're gonna do that same thing no landing gear for you [Music] space nerd Oh Chris well say hello from me I did see first man I did watch first man I like - ish he's gonna be way too big but cool I liked it some parts to me were kind of disappointing like they made it so that Neil Armstrong had like literally no personality and I just don't think that's fair they also they also I don't know there was a few things that just kind of rubbed me wrong for some reason I was shot really pretty but it was shot awfully handheld looking which I get is like kind of cool to do these days but at the same time was like entirely handheld I don't know I had mixed feelings about it excuse me there we go part of these wings now I think this is slightly slightly too much on on this part one click that seems about right so weird such a strange-looking vehicle this is based off of there's an I mean this is an old old old design I forget which one it is the oh I'm gonna I'm gonna if I'm thinking off my brain I'm gonna just be wrong but there was an old help me out help me out guys there's what was this based off of is my mission patch iron on our so on I think it's so on you know you'd think I'd know this type of thing I don't even know what they're I don't I don't know you put it on and then you use it that's honestly about all I know about it maybe both maybe you sew it on and then you iron it on maybe you I don't know I should probably find out because I don't know anything and then I should probably update the description so that other people when they have that same question have the answer instead of me to saying I don't know okay getting this to almost do space things look at that oh who is amped about this clearly Sierra Nevada is I think there's gonna be necessary even that's probably gonna interfere with the the engines maybe sorry speaking of engines you'd better probably get that figured out you just need a little little tiny one but it needs to be it needs to be efficient why have the Merlin's in here that's fun terrier they change all this stuff guys I haven't looked at this yet the Terriers way cooler now I don't really want that oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah very cool that's great oh man I am very happy with this I just wish this wasn't quite so long I can't do that that's hurting my OCD I don't want Finn going directly through that's even worse we just know that one of these don't want it going through my freakin engine that just seems hazardous there we go that looks pretty good x20 yes I believe it was the ex 20 thank you it's at going the wrong way let me just see yes yes it is a little bit of a we'll probably need some of this extra pitch control I'm guessing so I'm just gonna add that now just trust me we're gonna need it we're gonna need it very bad I have a feeling this thing is gonna fall out of the sky like a diaper with an apple in it and this is the kind that can want to swivel very much a lot from the base yep that's gonna be right when we really want this to only worry about our yeah oh yeah oh yeah question is that's right there's a delta v calculator on this thing now oh my word Kerbal I can get rid of Irbil engineer cuz we have a delta v cocky I'm so happy oh wow Oh Kerbal you made me very happy christmas has come early here so just to make it so it's extra usable miss I'm gonna go ahead and just give it a little a little bit of one of these I put these guys kind of all around so we have a little bit of control authority that might not be a bad idea huh [Music] uh-huh few more if we go something like this yeah two more down here don't feel a few more down yeah some up here up yeah look at that oh yes I'm feeling good about this little thing okay we're gonna have to do a drop test with it though cuz that's what Sierra and Nevada does mm-hmm gosh literally the wrong one every time I click it okay we probably want those to be pointed downward a little downward dog those yoga fans will push this in just a little bit okay so here's what we're gonna do this is this is decent I'm not gonna lie this is surprisingly decent I am not upset now the question is is it going to fly that is 100% the question that is definitely the question so what we're gonna do they they tow this thing up with an airplane so we're gonna do something similar to that we are going to tow this thing up with oh this is as Kerbal as it's gonna get here ladies and gentlemen this is going to be a kerbals aster if you know what I mean this this is why you play Kerbal for moments like these no there we go staging please okay now we're going to make a helicopter kind of thing to lift this thing up and perform a drop test now this is obviously we're gonna need to be starting the crap out of this because otherwise this is gonna fall apart immediately something like this and now we're just gonna throw one of these babies up on here is that the is that the five meter this is five meter oh yeah okay now we're getting somewhere this is what I'm talking about here how much thrust to weight ratio do we have how do you get all of them to all the details thrust weight reach at 1.5 that should be good enough more struts you're right this is not going to end well all right let's just make sure that we have plenty of thrust so we'll do this and plenty of I want to make sure this thing has plenty of of control too because it's probably gonna be all sorts of wonky okay I think we're ready drop test drop test here we come so just in order to get it safely off of the ground you have to do something like this [Music] I don't know how that's gonna survive being out of a lot we're gonna just try it dreamchaser chasing your dreams away oh [Music] man well you guys don't like it you just don't like this concept I think it's beautiful okay Wow all right here we go maybe I should stage these separately I'm surprised it's holding without just shaking around like crazy okay so I'm gonna start getting some tension on it Oh God Oh God it went horribly wrong okay okay Jay Jay and disco says we have moved into the hold my beer in rocketry oh man okay what hey oh yeah well we're trying it again full throttle this time we can't be scared about it 3 2 1 hey Cisco who would have thought that maybe I should have placed the center of lift and center thrust directly over the center of mass why would I why would I have remembered to think about that let's for now let's ignore this let's turn these off so that we really have a clean read there we go this is the important stuff here folks this is why you hire a professional that in other words 100% not me [Music] okay just to give me a lot of control over like the pendulum effect we're gonna add we're gonna just spam the crap out of this with all of these little RCS things this will help it so it doesn't rotate around too much but that should help a lot actually just having the center of mass straight on top of the center of lift and just for stability purposes I am gonna fire flows engines first okay let's try this again oh yeah center of lift and center of mass well there we go let's see if this is any better just fire up these engines here we go oh look at this oh you know what I should be doing guys this is what I should be doing duh duh duh duh duh let's see this is what we're gonna do we are gonna control from here oh yeah this is I'm going to hold radial out so that the thing just wants to hold exactly in this orientation and my thrust let's get my thrust to weight ratio just over one exists oh yeah I knew it I knew we could do this we are what is that it's just a piece of a falcon 9 rocket no big deal alright we are going to raise this thing up to the altitude we need we did line up the center of thrust with the Dream Chaser with the engines off we did that last time in the SPP okay so this helicopter is basically taking us where we need to go it is also kind of melting a good portion of our spaceship maybe I should have pushed these out a little more if those blow up I'm gonna be a little bit upset just a little bit how hard should we take this like 3,000 meters or so give it enough time to you know we're at least getting out of the thick part of the atmosphere oh no don't overheat though that's the only thing I don't want you to do oh man yeah I'm loving this it's fighting really hard right now to maintain its pitch good thing we have all that RCS also I should probably think about burning off some of this fuel soon because that will be it'll come back and empty probably should have thought of that I am gonna just kind of light this up a little bit here I don't actually help rid of that a little bit of problem was having to so I also better get rid of this before it's out of fuel so I can fly away oh is it pulling from well it might be draining from here that's great okay here we go I'm actually gonna light up the ends real quick and let go here we go we are falling but we don't want to be doing that anymore okay time to fly all arrow see if this thing can fly dream chase it do you have it in ya Hey Wow it's pretty stable actually considering we didn't once even take a look at our center of lift and center of mass this is surprisingly stable okay trying to roll it over here it does not want to roll very much that's an issue maybe I should make us that this also includes roll because I think I turned it into just yaw things are exploding no big deal look at this guys we might have actually built a dream chaser my dreams of Brie are being pursued I'm chasing them I'm chasing my dreams and I'm loving it Wow try and do another quick flip wow this thing is surprisingly nimble okay we are gonna miss we're gonna go right off this runway here hold on to your butt's we're gonna be landed probably ditching this thing down in the ocean but you know sometimes you just got to do what you had to do I'm nervous that it's glide is awful falling out of the sky like a wet diaper like I said it has no lift hmm well thanks knock well the people didn't die look there's some in here still so that's they're buried inside we're gonna have to get them off like drill them out of the runway you know excavate them but uh they survived hey Alberto your name is Alberto and I am your favorite youtuber oh thank you very much Alberto ding thank you thanks for the kind words I appreciate that let's take it back up again and the contract just said to bring it to the runway you're right I'm gonna take this into the space front Harriet we're gonna add a little bit more aerosurfaces like we're gonna probably just tuck a few in here it needs to like significantly extend its glide ratio is V bad at this point so I'm gonna do this I'm just gonna tuck a few of these in here and we're also gonna add another just double these up so we have just a little more there we go that seems reasonable these as well these 150 this thing we want that roll in there as well I'm gonna real quick take this off and measure our center of lift in our centers okay interesting especially wait when this is empty these will be empty okay that does move forward that's good that should be stable the problem is do we have enough lift really that's the that's the real question and actually just for this test flight I'm gonna go ahead and empty this because I don't want any of it really I don't want none of that stuff okay let's get that helicopter back on there [Music] what else could I need to add just a smidgen of lift and control let's talk about prepping doesn't your stuff on YouTube music while I write my scripts and here's your money oh thank you it's someone favorite thanks for great work dang thank you let's talk about prepping that's awesome thank you so much that's awesome uh oh Brad Brad girl wants to know if I got my new computer oh yeah we're running a decent beast here I don't remember anymore this is 10 cores 64 gigs of RAM I mean we are on we can run realism overhaul very easily now um I still really enjoy soccer ball though I've run I've done realism a few times this year yeah thanks for asking add a parachute not a bad idea maybe we should add one Walt testing we're gonna add a set of pair of shoes just in case and also I'm gonna try getting a little bit of extra horizontal velocity instead of just falling straight out of the sky yeah let's do it again we're ready now I need some more coffee but you guys hate me if I did a little coffee break just a little a mini coffee break I need I want a little coffee break how do i how do I do this now I haven't played around to this new thing yet I'm gonna just try guys this is awesome by the way I changed the speed or whatever so there's like low latency so I can almost immediately like talk to you guys which is great like I can ask a question and then it's like yeah I'll be right back I have coffee downstairs I'm just gonna go grab it and I'll be back in like literally a minute and then we'll continue testing and see if we can't do a successful orbital mission with a Dream Chaser alright let's see if it's gonna work you you okay we're back here we go did we lose okay no so here we go we're gonna control from here again and we're going to ascend slowly did I thrust to weight ratio above one here we go three two one hip-hip oh no yes oh no oh no why is that I'm gonna try pushing it back too while we're at it there we go I want to swing a ways back because I want to I want to be able to oh I don't want to hit the what if I hit the launch clams that would be quite funny this is so reckless I love how I have people on this that just seems like a very very bad idea poor kerbals poor kerbals this is actually super working a lot better than I thought I would I'm not gonna lie I also want to make sure my parachutes aren't a different stage look at this all right I think we're getting to the point where we could probably try dropping it let me get it way out here like this though I want to just get it far away eat eat eat okay and [Music] we want to turn some of this horizontal energy or vertical energy into horizontal energy oh yeah this is feeling nice I think I had killed off literally Paul speed last time by dropping it like a doughnut I think that's our helicopter crashing okay starting to flare up a little bit drop the gear hey this might work this might is dumb enough to maybe work got that little air brake out not the softest landing I've ever seen in my life I tried pitching up but it didn't come to an immediate stop that like stopped instantly not bad not bad maybe lady Tamra asked sorry I didn't see that until now have I seen in the shadow of the moon I have not seen that I don't even never heard about it is it about Apollo eight and if so I need to watch it alright well so we need a little more just a little we need to be able to pitch up more it is one of the things it's Christmas also scrub all these kids in the morning like run down to their Christmas trees mom and dad I'm sorry kids Christmas was scrubbed this year we had a phenomenal TVC motion what yep you heard Uranus [Music] I want to put these up just a little more so that we don't accidentally light our ship on fire every time we do this if you can walk away from 20 G landings it's good if it's all good and thanks Ian here's what I'm gonna do I'm gonna push I want to do I'm gonna hide some arrow surfaces in the near the front of this thing and just push them in I think that'll help give me just that little extra bit that I need to be able to pitch up ever so slightly we're just kind of cheating physics ever so slightly I mean what can you do besides this and maybe it's something like this will help too alright there it is I need one more drop test I'm not gonna take this thing orbital until we get a good clean drop test let's see I'm also gonna raise this one more time actually want to give this thing way out here so I'm gonna add well it one more fuel tank this is getting more and more complicated by the second and I love it where did all that stuff go there we go good thing we have these on here otherwise I don't think this thing would even survive at all keeping this baby steady with plenty of RCS oh man alright time to get this thing back out to the launch pad one last time hopefully let's get a good clean flight you know also this is this is too ugly I got a I just gotta clean this up real quick I I can't have a helicopter without a nose cap on it but I gotta figure out what that maybe I should oh man I should have done the other thing but is this a new adapter I don't remember them having that kind of tank before at all can we actually go to the top with fuel tanks we can Oh Christmas has definitely come early [Music] it's gonna push this down like this put a little look at this little elf hat alright Oh Josh that's awesome your kids are watching this helped has helped spark an interest in space it's good to see you play KSP oh I love KSP don't you don't you worry about me not playing KSP because I I just haven't had a lot of time to do it lately I've been really working on scripting a lot and trying to produce as many videos as I can but this is still easily like my I don't know if it's a guilty pleasure I'd say just straight-up just life enjoyment alright let's do this from MGP PO hi how are you my commander I'm fantastic how are you today how are you today so what we're gonna do we're gonna do this one more time I just really I don't know why I changed anything oh great you know what I also didn't change I can't really control from here when it's hidden away unless I'm sneaky like this hello control from here look at that cool if I had a helicopter like that in my life I would be so happy get the thrust-to-weight ratio above one and here we go three two one hip-hip oh look at the hat we're gonna pitch it away from the runway again let's get this up there in a hurry this time oh this is working scarily well I'm gonna say arrow starting to have too much of an effect oh no no no no I spoke too early this is working terribly this is turning into an n1 very quickly abort why is it not let him eat there we go it is completely stalled sentence him so I'm nervous that those front arrow services ruined my control now okay that was worse than before whatever I did I ruined it I ruined it a true it I had totally ruined it my SAS was set to radial out you're right dang it thank you for your right that's exactly what was wrong that's why I was fighting it at the sticks also let me double check my center of lift in center mass now that half of these so this should be okay I was gonna say maybe if I need to put all they have so little control Authority that's not even worth getting scared about all right I'll go a little slower I got a little aggressive Oh Ben maybe try try to fly a rectangular pattern before landing to gain speed and get a good glide ratio love your channel pictures and good humor by that well thanks Ben hi thank you very much um yeah I'm gonna I don't really know what a rectangular pattern is per se unless you mean just like boop boop I don't know I'll try flying up I will sure try and then um thank you I yeah and then Chris what sorry what were you saying is this yes oh here we go right here control from here all right and then Chris from one Boeing engineer to another crap get on everyday astronaut architects craft is in there we can maybe get the 11 billion from NASA for it so are you saying that a lot of Engineers probably come here for my engineering expertise because that is a horrifying thought that's why you check yo station tambri you love it it's about Apollo that is awesome okay I will definitely check it out that man dang dang you it dang you it this is what Kerbal is all about trying and failing and trying and trying to fail and trying and failing again alright here we go radial out three two one get the engine's going much better I was it's not one of the greatest things look at this we have a flying cone lifting a dreamchaser this is what Kerbal is all about ladies and gentlemen I want to I'm gonna try to keep it kind of slow because last time I think I got too much aerodynamic effect out of it this is great this is great who doesn't want this on their Saturday morning I mean this is what life is about and I'm holding SAS to radial that makes it so that no matter what this points to the sky so that it's gonna try to keep the heading so I want to fly backwards a little bit but more importantly I want it to just hold and fight itself to maintain pointing straight up that's why I set two radial out at least on a mission like this oh no fighting it again fighting it again I went into this mode why did it do that okay regain control this is what radial out is for it right here he's noticed now we're back in the proper orientation and it's doing everything it can to keep that orientation but it keeps switching on me from like fine control to not fine control not a big fan of that in Russia we don't use Stoppers we use cone rocket so true so so true and things by the way mg you're right they did try helicopter rocket safe they did have the what was that thing that I talked about and that's gonna be in one of my canceled programs is the the wrote on that is the most absurd thing that's ever kind of flown I use the word fly very loosely when describing how that thing took off and left on earth okay I'm gonna just do this and really try getting it further away now all right it's time we go completely stalled that's okay for now we just want our vertical velocity to increase a lot I'm gonna do a little quick save here just cuz I really don't want have to redo this whole portion again I just want to make sure we can actually land this thing that's some good speed that's some good speed we're gonna have to keep that up the key is gonna be flaring as late as possible with this thing just a little off the runway a lot of off the runway let's get those gear out Oh Oh we have some glide ratio now holy cow okay I messed that up but that's actually quite decent I trust it it's time to it's time to take this baby orbital we're going orbital Ted thank you you leave after the scrub and go on an errand come back to Tim building a Dream Chaser my favorite Commercial Crew vehicle I also read since my super chat they are intending a crew variant eventually yes this is true they are well they want to and they're seeing the they see it as kind of a stepping stone so I think we're ready our drop test was successful enough it didn't quite I kind of bonked it a little bit don't think you have a front lady here I didn't I have an air brake which is about what the dream chaser has there's no wheel on it it's just a drag brake so that's kind of what I did all right I say we pick up the pieces here and we stick this baby on top of him that was five and we said we do hmm can I do it and keep the g-forces out of the red that I don't know zero flame it is probably called a skid that's probably literally exactly what it's called all right so let's open that baby up I hope I saved it dream chaser welcome to the Vehicle Assembly Building we're gonna take all this stuff off we don't need these okay here we are ready to put this baby on top this thing does glide much better than the Space Shuttle and it probably should actually in real life it just looks more glide II okay so I'm gonna stick a docking port here I'm just gonna use a bit of one of these that's probably the wrong one yeah yeah yeah yeah is that the same one I okay hmm still looks kind of B add I want to pay loaded after this the right size I don't want it running into our engine bells if it doesn't have to maybe I'll push these out just a little bit too though I can push them in too maybe I will just use that for it there we go the important things that it's not running into stuff okay now the question is this is supposed to be able to fit inside a fairing and I don't think ours is gonna fit inside a five meter fairing maybe it will oh it will but now it's like a 7 meter fairing well looks like we're going 7 meter fairing this is a he a 12-ton fairing holy cow a 13th okay what I need an adult a 13-ton fairing that seems terrible [Music] dang it I should try to play space flight simulator I have yeah and I do and I do alright so technically here's the deal though Kerbal I feel like three the Atlas 5 is really only like three point seven meters wide it's the same diameter as a Falcon 9 you gotta can have a 5 metre fairing how is that how is that I just realized that why why is there a 5 metre fairing on a three point seven meter wide vehicle and it doesn't seem to get bigger does it I'm gonna look this up that was five five oh yeah the fairing does get bigger on those duh there's your answer derp Tim okay so I am gonna make it kind of like that and in order to do that if this is really going on top of an Atlas 5 or the five meter fairing what we have to do is we have to make this gonna do the Centaur upper stage kind of as like a 3.75 meters wide tank which I think are down here that doesn't seem right which one is it I get they everything got moved around and I'm scared there we go something like that and then like an RL 10 upper state there should be something kind of like a maybe that poodle but the poodle changed to duel Oh although this might go duel this might look right because it might be on the DOOL DOOL are all tens that might be stinking close I'm gonna push this down here let me to stage this by the way [Music] that Rockets gonna need some monster energy drink what ya sponsored by Monster Energy remember strata lunch made launch at two that's true they may do that as well which would be awesome that would be cool alright so how do you connect to this by the way is there do they add a point or should we do we might just want to do that thing that looks nice the engine plate thing we go like medium maybe even short okay I forgot to put my fanny pack on there but that's why I'm doing a 5 meter fairing okay I'm trying to make this so is you Olay ish okay here we go here we go delete fairing bear with me I think I almost know what I'm doing but like always not really it's not quite gonna be right because really it flares before this but you know that's a big old fairing gonna clamshell deploy this I don't know what clamshell isn't the standard a two-sided clamshell like all fairings ever basically I like this this is this is getting this getting good here folks you came here from some explosions you're probably gonna get some explosions uh auto strike on okay okay now watch this this isn't quite accurate again but it will be close enough so too bad the three point seven and then wait let me the twin bore crap that is that's two point five isn't it dang it the twin bore is two point five we're going three point seven because that's how wide it is in real life ish if you like how I'm mixing my like this is nothing like real life this is just like real life this is nothing like real life and maybe one more of these I don't know why I didn't just do it needs to be this one again that looks so dumb this is so stupid I have the biggest cone on top of the smallest not cone but whatever whatever so now we need to choose two engines we could be like rs.25 variants or maybe dual main sales that might be kind of cool let's do dual main sales that just sounds fitting something like super powerful super cool disable staging we want engine cluster double now let's do two main sale engines this is gonna be great oh yeah oh yes it looks stupid cuz they're a little bit off but whatever do we have plenty of thrust to weight ratio that's the other question um showing my thrust to weight ratio why isn't it doing that oh no it's not hot enough we might have to go F ones on this we're going F ones this is very overkill and these we can at least take the shrouds off and all look decent oh yeah yes we are making a beautiful Atlas 5 here now where was that disconnect I said this okay that needs to go between kyo-ahn ha this needs to go before this I believe that needs to fire and then that fires and the upper stage goes I'm gonna add a little bit of RCS to this upper stage thing just so we have a little bit of it there ok now hopefully we have enough thrust to weight ratio on this now no that's worse what the f one's weaker than the what are you talking about where it get back in here where are where are your parents what okay so at sea level 1283 versus 1379 what what you're right we do need those SR B's we do need SR be still you're right okay let's do that because it's gonna have dual s RVs when it launches and they're gonna be nice and tight maybe something like this this is about right now the question is are these do s Arby's line up with the engine Dan let me see Atlas 5 SRB arrangement so they go opposite of the engines so I need to move these over here I don't know if that makes any sense but you'll see I mean like this okay much better and now if I have these need to go down thrust to weight ratio is exactly one crap [Music] you're right it does have a slightly asymmetrical shape to it I don't know if I'm gonna get that pedantic because of the fuel duct they they can have three four and five it is strange [Music] hmm well do I just um do I just ignore the problems the limitations we are exactly one to one thrust weight ratio maybe we'll just let us sit there and kind of burn on the pad for a minute because it'll be our launched clamp hold downs let us thrust to weight ratio get just slightly above then we'll let go light up those solids Dreamchasers slash atlas v all right and how much total delta-v do we have on this thing now 4200 for that's probably enough right 6s Arby's s Arby's on SRB some now this is this about right all right let's try this I'm kind of nervous let's do it anyway I believe it only has 2 s Arby's though I would prefer not to use long ones cuz I want it to look accurately that Alice 5 is pretty short little stubby s Arby's I think they were just those gems in 24s Arby's now I know you guys are just just goofing on me you guys are just goofing me all right here we go we're gonna do main engine ignition and three two one get this baby going and here we go three two one liftoff the world's slowest liftoff ever as I thrust to weight ratio slightly increases overall one Hey we're going to space we're going slowly but we're going to space it's a gentle gentle ride I'm gonna remember that whole radio a lot thing I'm gonna hold radial out for a minute we're gonna be dropping the SRBs in like five seconds right back down on the pad so I'm gonna just scoot off just a little bit I really don't want SRBs dropping back on my launchpad too bad they are going to though they're going to fall basically on top of my launch complex hey well those are the shortest-lived SRBs ever where are they gonna go please just make it slightly clear the pad just I'm trying to make it very convenient to recover them oh they're clear the pad we're fine look at that perfect the pad still in good shape we're going to space today folks we don't need steering fins there are no steering fins on an Atlas 5 you just use you just use the engine Gimbels Oh someone is doubting Wacken man says no you're not not enough fuel no it's not about fuel it's not about fuels about total total delta-v we are going to do perfectly fine I think this oil this should make it to space now hope the problem here isn't fuel it's our insanely low thrust-to-weight ratio and you're right we probably should have at least like emptied this you know what that rocket needs parachutes maybe those SRB should have had some parachutes yeah we're not even gonna need a throttle down for any kind of max Q regime or anything because this thing is just painfully slow yeah the the the biggest issue here is our thrust-to-weight ratio is so low that we really might just be doing ourselves a huge disservice here that might be if this fails it's because the thrust-to-weight ratio is too low the Atlas 5 doesn't always have for SRBs the Atlas 5 has 0 to 5 SRBs it what is how is the dream cheese gonna launch on that dreamchaser Atlas 5 I'm pretty sure it's just a like a 5 to 2 don't tell me it's launching on a five five one all right it might oh my gosh it's on a five five - oh we're starting over it is launching on a five no n22 is n to choose for the just for the Starliner this thing yeah is going a full-blown you're right guys it is a five to two and we kind of have dual engines so we're gonna do we'll do the asymmetrical thing I'm sorry I doubted you guys this will definitely help it get off the pad - it was so slow [Music] all right there we go we have the offset five weird five solid rocket boosters and we better better do these okay that's right make sure that's not interfering with any of the SRBs okay now our thrust rate ratio should be a lot higher I'm guessing this will be great okay we are going to space today I'm also gonna do this just so we have plenty okay okay okay Atlas 5 5 5 2 and we're kiss kind of looks like it has two engines even though it's only a single engine I think it looks good enough to it a gnarled dual our Elton and it is an RL re Elton nice I didn't realize that that's what I'm gonna be good enough though okay let's do this five five - baby oh by the way that yeah the thrust-to-weight ratio was lower because we're only showing one stage it was only showing a single stage so it's showing the liquid stage first so let's light up these engines three two one and ready three two one hip-hip oh yes now this is where we definitely need to do this I'm gonna let those I want those the five four the three on one side to help add to the pitch so I'm gonna roll it over onto its side where these can kind of induce that asymmetrical thrust pushing it in into orbit much better one point five two one now we're talking go atlas oh yes while to make up for some wonky inclination here after SIV jettisoned puh that was scary I probably should add some some separate Ron's to that but whatever dusty came across your channel about a month ago thanks for your hard work I've learnt a great deal off you in a short amount of time and you have reignited my love of everything space Thank You dusty that means a lot thank you very much yeah that's awesome I I'm glad because you know I'm just a big space nerd myself like I just love this stuff and it's really come out of me in the past like five years like five years ago I couldn't have told you what an SRB was literally the first time I went and shot a launch at Kennedy Space Center and 2014 I didn't know what an SRB was I could have told you what vehicles have s arby's no idea so I've learned a lot in the past four years coming up on five years and I'm glad that other people are catching the bug too cuz it is really exciting stuff I think we're just coming up on a really a new golden age of excitement and information and just awesome stuff happening in space so thank you I'm glad that I could help and also thanks to message retracted I hope it wasn't anything naughty okay so we're gonna burn through this whole thing and then we'll have just a Tarleton upper stage Wow we might almost put this thing into orbit just with the booster sounds about right let's see oh yeah sorry SRB is solid rocket booster that's a good thing I probably shouldn't assume assume that everyone unlike me four years ago I should assume that probably some people also don't know so yes SRB means solid rocket booster the solid rocket boosters were the things that we had on the sides of the satisfied vehicle and we jettisoned this is gonna be about right guys we still have nine hundred meters per second in this upper state or in this first stage Wow I don't like the idea of launching them inside a fairing though that kind of makes me nervous they wouldn't do that in real life if this were ever to become a crewed vehicle it will it will not have a fairing on top of the dreamchaser I'm just nervous the Dream Chaser doesn't seem to have much of an abort scenario for crew that's one of the reasons I'm not a huge fan of it for people I think for cargo it's gonna be awesome and maybe as a return vehicle it'd be awesome okay here we go booster so first fairing Oh God well looks like we took care of that already and let's light up this upper stage we have 3,000 meters per second in this thing okay that's too much like factually speaking that's just actually too much so we're gonna have no problem getting into orbit let's man afraid I'm gonna fly it down just a little bit okay well ladies and gentlemen looks like captain speaking there it looks like we're gonna have no problem if we could have we should have tried landing the Atlas 5 that's what we really should have done we're gonna take this thing up to 300 meters Apogee now we're gonna coast get into our Coast phase here I then do so right now if you look at the map you will see our Apogee our highest point or apoapsis is 300 some 300 thousand meters or 300 kilometers our lowest point if we were to not do a burn up here we would fall back into the atmosphere the atmosphere on kerbin is about 70 thousand meters so this is 38,000 so we'd start to hit the atmosphere somewhere around here and we would descend but we're trying to get this baby into orbit so let's get it up here we're gonna just go up to the highest point then we're gonna rely our engines here by speeding up at our highest point that will lower our that will raise our lowest point by speeding up on the pro grade vector so facing forward facing towards our direction of travel so here we go we're gonna flip it down Oh funny fast and in 22 seconds will be at our Apple apps is where we'll relight up those engines and kick ourselves into a perfectly circular ish orbit so here's our 40,000 we want to raise this up to 300 as well so here we go in about three two one I'm gonna go a little early so notice that our lowest point now is raising we'll give this baby out to 300,000 and then we'll cut and right yeah good enough 302 by 301 I am very happy with it all right dreamchaser welcome to orbit turn on your lights let's have a little mini party quick say hi to all your friends and family back home I forgot that we have more crew cabin down here with no one in it yeah Wow Wow well we're in space we have enough Delta VD we could probably take this thing out to the moon literally and back why don't we do that we're gonna do Apollo 8 dream chaser style since it's you know Apollo 8 time [Music] and we want our free return trajectory like this I don't know if this is rated to come back from the moon or not but we're gonna find out oops so if we do this right you can get real darn close to the moon and the moon will slingshot us back the question is if we do this right was the kind of that the key to that success change our inclination a little bit looks like we're a little wonky maybe we should let me set this as a target we should straighten out our inclination first actually so that's where you can see we're a little bit off axis here we can fix it right here so is this gonna increase or decrease the we need to go up or down looks like you need to go down okay so we need to do about a 35 meter per second burn I'm gonna go ahead and point that way and we're gonna just do a quick little three-second burn just flatten out our inclination so we're perfectly aligned with the moon that way we won't miss our landing so we'll be able to come back into Kerbal space enter no problem and oh look at that perfect okay this will make it easier to get nice and lined up with the moon nice and flat right around the belt we don't want any of that whim Wham [Music] yeah find a KSP mod that makes the earth flat that's funny that would be amazing actually I would love to see a Kerbal space like Kerbal space flight Flat Earth edition that's funny okay look at this this is looking great so give us our return trajectory look-see perfect 73,000 that's what I'm talking about I wanted to see even dip into the atmosphere a little bit 60s 55 40 is gonna be perfect sorry I'm awfully excited and we're gonna fly four hundred twenty-eight thousand meters away from the moon this is an Apollo 8 miracle well arrest him Van Allen belt rest in peace now Van Allen belt the funny thing about the Van Allen belt is a it's you're flying through it for such a little amount of time and B it's it's a it's kind of exactly a belt you can actually go like around it it's not like a sphere it's not a whole orb around the entire planet so they the you know the Apollo engineers had to figure out where it was thin and where is manageable to fly through it and you know you're only exposed to high radiation for a very short period of time okay so gonna do a full minute burns that means we're gonna want to burn at about what is that 40 seconds 35 seconds 40 seconds okay here we go getting ready for that burn we do have enough delta-v to make it out there and back yeah yeah plenty okay plenty actually we have 2500 meters per second in this and then not to mention oh that's out of fuel so we'll want to remember that all right here we go in three two one [Music] perfect so now by doing we're doing our trans TL IR translunar injection this is raising our Apple abscess it's gonna shoot out 90 degrees from the moon to where the moon will be when we get there just like if you're throwing a ball you want to throw it to where the person is going to be if they're running not to where they are right now marbeth hey how's it going woke up saw you streaming today is a good day Merry Christmas from Mexico thank you so much Marmon Feliz Navidad have I been to Kennedy Space Center with my spacesuit recently no I have not been there since Falcon Heavy no since Yuri's Night and just a little heads up I've been kind of talking about this with my like discord with my patreon members I'm kind of the spacesuit thing is I I think I blurred the lines initially with this channel that the spacesuit was originally an art project right and it had this whole purpose of like kind of being fun funny and like just this imagination and it didn't in my opinion it's different than the educational aspect it's very uncomfortable and very annoying to wear in videos so I have not been wearing it for quite a while if you haven't noticed and that's yeah it's I I'm just separating it like I still want to take pictures in it but I I want to be more professional at the same time like in my channel just a little bit I still want to have fun which I am doing I'm having actually more fun now but yeah I I'm just not wearing the space suit as much it's it's so there we go we have a successful translunar injection look at those engines still glowing hot we are taking a dreamchaser out to chases streams to the moon all right let's do this I'm gonna do another quick save I've done like 100 well let's fly out there ladies and gentlemen bike urban bye hope you have a good day and it flies away from us and we're gonna keep flying away from it until we fly all the way out here to the moon now notice it looks like we're very far away from the moon which we are but the cool thing is is that uh we slowed down as we get to this our app apps it's our highest point and the moon stays on its same trajectory so that's why this is gonna be just a flyby in order to get an orbiter on the moon you would have to slow down oh here it comes though you would have to slow down and do a a burn on basically right here at the periapsis of the moon which would be 270 we're going to fly to 270 2000 meters away from the moon that would be quite the fantastic view 272 kilometres that would be great okay let's do it hi oh we're gonna see moon rise oh you know what I got to get ready for a photograph take pictures you know get a Christmas card ready there's an f2 that hides the stuff yes yes it is [Music] now where is kerbin that's gonna be the question there we go okay we're gonna fly behind the moon I believe hopefully are we did we already oh no oh yeah we didn't go into we didn't go into lunar orbit which Apollo okay we're going to stop we're gonna get this thing into orbit because you know Apollo eight did orbit the moon didn't they [Music] important why for me we're gonna just do this we're just gonna orbit the moon right now so we were on a free return trajectory and now we're just gonna place ourselves we have plenty Delta V to be wonky here yeah I forgot we should have put this baby into orbit right away but never too late we're gonna skim the surface here of the moon this will be very exciting oh I've got plenty of dough I've got Delta V for days for weeks and days and days and weeks we're gonna we're gonna go ahead and fly it I'm gonna fly that close why not alright Plan B steal the Boeing suit also take your suit to be cleaned the local fire department probably is a special watch that will work you're probably right I never thought oh look at this I better raise my orbit here I never thought about going to the fire department asking where they get their suits clean because that's quite frankly way too smart for anything I would ever think of alright we're gonna raise our lowest point to 70 we're gonna fly down here we go beautiful we're gonna see this we're gonna see kerbin rise from the moon and it's going to be beautiful and we're all gonna cry [Music] okay slow down wait wait wait Oh almost ruined it just about ruined it I wish you could rotate camera you know we can rotate it's a Christmas it's really just perfect here all right you guys ready for this I'm gonna time with the music and kerbin rise oh oh didn't mean to be burning turn off this engine again we have plenty of ways to do this okay f2 again get in the screenshot cuz I'm gonna end up cutting this stream up and making it a separate stream from the from the launch nearly Christmas from the moon love Dream Chaser there we go there we go landed on the movie read from the kerbin Bible and on the third day the Kraken invited destruction upon all couples you know what I bet if we fill these tanks let's do an assessment 690 some meters per second we'd do a fuel in there we don't have fuel in here [Music] let's empty these out fill those babies up we're transferring fuel into the actual Dream Chaser and then we might be able to ditch these and just use the dream chaser Dave will probably end up with a lot more delta-v all together look at that yeah so we're increasing the amount of Delta V in this stage by filling it up while draining this one then we can ditch this heavy tank and those engines instead of just aimlessly pushing around some engines that are perfectly fine okay now we have tons of Delta V we could probably just land on the moon bye-bye thank you kick stage you were very good thank you centaur upper stage well what do you say guys we have we have enough Delta B to land on the moon I think yeah let's try it I'm gonna do a quick save here we're going to the moon mission changed we got permission from herbal Space Center to land on the moon and here we go [Laughter] we have permission we have permission so we just got to keep an eye on our delta-v make sure we totally don't screw ourselves here all right yeah we'll do a VFR style landing sounds good why not right want to land in the daylight so I'm gonna keep running here for Biff I did call for the blender birds you're right I'm gonna be doing something pretty fun with Matt loan it's gonna be a very fun yeah this is KSP you got renamed from Apollo 8 to Apollo 11 yep we are we have officially changed missions they realize they miscalculated they had way too much Delta V so now we're just gonna do a little landing on the moon on the Mun all right so now we're gonna try to do a pretty aggressive suicide burn but not too aggressive because that might jump on us here a bit so maybe just to be safe I'm gonna start bleeding off some of that speed now okay well suicide brendensen calculators going so I'm just paying attention to that right now I started 1,000 meters that should give us a little bit of wiggle room hopefully it doesn't recalculate like it does sometimes well the world of what if I love what you do thank you that's nice Neil Kerman is going to be very very upset valentina and Bill are takin all the spotlight here which it's about time keeping land keep in mind you need to land at KSC that is correct that's gonna be very very very hard all right we're just gonna lower our suicide burn distance to 100 basically or to zero I mean it's looking nice okay you're down what was that what was that besides besides art what was that let's let's make that a little softer we want we want something better for the cameras you know we don't want to look like idiots the whole world on Christmas perfect perfect that's what we're talking about oh wow who knew the fence so much power well I'm looks like we're having to touch down another time there we go this is that this is what we wanted this is this is for Christmas oh look at that dreamchaser on the moon chasing your dreams away what a beautiful beautiful sight okay I'm gonna get rid of these thank god this is the dumbest mission ever I really wish the ground would just render though because I want both those things in the picture hey I thought it turned off the engines what are you doing why no no no no no no bad naughty didn't I turn them off excuse me oh there's two engines now that's right that's right my bad okay let's get that picture maybe we'll turn it this way so you can really tell it to dreamchaser oh look at that I don't know why I don't just do the full screen shot like that yeah derp oh that is just that is something special guys that is really something special oh well we better probably probably better jump out here quick Valentina you're going first get those a someone asked what game this is this is Kerbal space program easily the greatest thing or the worst thing that'll ever happen to you depending on what kind of life you're wanting to have very graceful Valentina very good stand up one no there we go okay and let's get uh I haven't done this in a long time bill you're coming out too flying over there oh look it's your friend Valentina you guys are alive together you both are alive I didn't think that was gonna happen okay let's face the camera ah Cheers happy holidays from the currents on the moon oh I love this whoops no not have three wait what's happening what's happening now oh yeah no sorry I'm like yelling okay jet pack away yes stay still for the cameras smile I should send this to Sierra Nevada that is great she's very good she's like I'm alive okay we're doing what why are you shaking your hands don't be so upset that's I'm actually a little bit proud of this guys I am a little bit proud of this huh all right let's plant a flag this is this went to well this went way too well for Kerbal space program happy holidays happy holidays days like that from the Germans Hermann family there we go Korea probably sure to move that flag a little bit so you can read it it's now it's just wrong dang it can you pick up a flag take down and let's go like this wah-wah-wah plant this flag do it right this time No remove flag remove helmet we will wait you can take their helmets off you can take their home it softer they die guys do they die plant flag again will they die if you take the helmets off I did not realize how thing again let's do this again happy holidays happy holidays excuse me from the Herman family [Music] I'm gonna I'm gonna quick save and then I'm gonna try taking the helmet off and see what happens unable to remove home what there is no atmosphere okay well that answers that for all those they try to get me to remove it you are in trouble very mean very mean how dare you try to kill my kerbals oh that's so pretty keep messing that up yeah just your helmet get ready this is this is the photograph all right I got what I need we are going back home we're gonna try to land on the runway okay oh we can take off from the moon no problem I'll show you how let's try not crashing under it this time I'm bored where's the whip door board go ahead get in there get in there what excuse me yes I would like in here please oh oh there we go whoo I started to sweat a little bit I mean it is a little bit obscured but all right your turn let's get aggressive what settle down oh yeah nice and quick alright ladies and gentleman we are going home we are clear for liftoff we apparently have no Delta V maybe that's because I have the engines killed hopefully that's the reason why yes that was the reason why I don't think we have enough - up to me to get home yeah we will probably need to take off like a rocket that'll probably be the best way to do it actually know what we're gonna flip that break up and let it do its thing does that work really well last time I loved it fightin gravity losses okay I hope we can get you guys home on 500 is 600 m/s enough to get home I feel like it's not ah that was a pretty cool takeoff not gonna lie I'm pretty proud of that I feel like we are don't have enough Delta me to go home it's not well who I mean we got to get these guys so maybe we'll just give them a little bit of extra fuel a little cheat it's a mission for the blender Birds that's funny this could be this could be the crossover here 15 m/s parked we have not nearly enough Delta V yeah I think we're gonna do infinity fuel I I we obviously didn't need to land on the moon this none of this was planned we didn't mean to go out to the moon so at that being said we're just gonna I'm just gonna go ahead and do uh wait where's that again wait something something shift alt shift up for what is it again I don't remember how to cheat control f4 no that's not right or is it what all of 12 there we go yes that's right that sounds right ER all right adding fuel because like I said we weren't this is not at all a mission that we've meant to go on you know what I'm just gonna start burning right here take advantage of the Oberth effect wah-wah yes yes yes oh I see what they're trying to do with me alt f4 isn't that like how you close windows on a Windows machine well joke's on you I don't play on windows maybe I am maybe I should make sure that I because I don't know where we're gonna end up in relation to Kerbal space center so I'm going to make sure we don't accidentally totally Dior with ourselves and land in the ocean get rekt windows yeah joke's on you you thought you could pull one over on me which you would have but you didn't [Music] nope this is Intel they don't use an apple CPU Apple doesn't make hasn't made CPUs and ages ages and ages all right we're gonna lower our periapsis here and try to line ourselves up with a some Kerbal Space Center normally you definitely want to arrow break but you know all right and this will I'm just gonna get us into a circular orbit here real quick and then we're gonna try to come around we're gonna try to land you're right Apple does do CPUs for phones and their and their iPad too right hey guys you know what remember that hole remember how I'm constantly trying to say this in videos about tribalism we're all demonstrating tribalism right now by inserting our opinions about how something is better than something else they're just computers guys by whatever works for you by whatever is in your budget by whatever has the right warranty and the right software that you use every day buy whatever you want don't you don't have to try to talk people into whatever choice you or your family or your friends all use because it doesn't matter you know like I think it's so funny that one's always like nope max max are bad just period like they're just they're machine built by people what are you talking about so is any other they're all just it's all this stuff and yeah you might like something but doesn't mean everyone else has to I'm not gonna try to sell you guys on buying max cuz I don't think it's for everybody maybe you don't care about logic maybe you don't care about final cut maybe you don't care about other things that I use sometimes you know I mean to each their own and to all a good night actually look at this I think this is probably I think we're in the right place to actually do our reentry burn here now a 3d printer I do need to probably get on you're right you're right Dakota you're right if if you debate stats and stuff it's not tribalism but at the same time at all I mean kind of like Rockets yes definitively there can be a better rocket than another one but it doesn't mean that it makes it like that you can't like it you know what I mean so I just don't get why people were like well max just suck it's like they're just a computer dude were you talking about who cares what what I don't know that's just my that's just what I think alright this might be I don't know what we're gonna put this we're gonna ditch it in the ocean and then hope that it has the right stuff that might be too much I don't know quick save where's goes the worst this might be about right cuz we're actually have quite a bit of glide ratio here so let's do this let's not going backwards I'm thinking let's try to go in the right way alright flip her around here hold about a 45 ish 40 degrees probably still use some RCS for now alright let's try it let's try it let's try it yes scrub timber has continued you are exactly right you know what I realized I think we're gonna end up quite a bit north I should probably take this opportunity to fly a little bit south is this south there's this north right over the airfield now we're looking good much easier to do that now them to do that later look at this that this kind of looks like I'm actually quite impressed how much has ended up looking like The Dream Chaser from certain angles like right there that's dead-on if you ask me I don't think it's parents would even know weather like Sierra Nevada would look at this and go oh that's our render and then I'll be like no it's not it's my Kerbal build let go oh wow I had no idea that's definitely what would happen oh we are already coming up short well when in doubt let's also do this so we aren't inducing so much drag here yeah once once you give me infinity fuel Qi I'm just gonna go nuts on it this should be enough fly a dreamchaser fly it's very spicy I'm guessing those these air ducts actually have a ton of drag wait you can select the runway as a target now what do you mean you can select it okay now it's maybe time to start slowing down but I think we're probably still about right I think we'll have no problem so I yeah we're gonna fall out of the sky once we once we're at like 35,000 meters it's just gonna poop look we're actually flying up maybe we should not do that though huh oh man I have no idea maybe we should work on maybe we should bleed a little bit of velocity out [Music] Wow who knows I'm totally eyeballing it here [Music] land it on the I wish I had way back when I did that inclination change I wish I would have targeted the runway that would've been sweet we might have to start this song over for the landing song I think that's just appropriate this seems very unstable what am i doing why don't I pitch away like this all right baby time to really bleed off some speed we're gonna just hold radial out for now there we go that's what I'm talking about cut off that speed in a hurry please let's start that song over it's true I do have infinite fuel I couldn't pitch back like this we might have to do a once around here because we're still going a thousand meters per second that's a lot faster than I thought we'd be going but we are slowing down we are slowing down here come on baby come on baby slow down even more we might be able to do this actually from right here yep we're going down dip dive duck and dodge dive yeah that's gonna want to be stable that way but now I think we're slowing off oh yeah beautiful we're gonna have to pitch over a little bit here oh yeah I should have used our CSS break so it went smart yeah I did I did skip off the atmosphere a little but we did pull a little bit of a Neil Armstrong x-15 style [Music] all right this is actually I'm surprised we might actually be able to do this I better do a quick save here just in gays not doubting my skills or anything but I am doubting my skills am I kidding all right yeah this this is a very aggressive very aggressive approach commander Valentina is an aggressive pilot we all know this let's fly all arrow let's turn off that RCS do i watch Mars on that Geo yes as a matter of fact I went net geo sent me out to Space Camp to help promote season two I need to finish that series though I just realized that I haven't watched all of series two yet holy crap I like was gone and then I actually forgot to follow up and I have more episodes to watch that's actually like great news um yes I do watch it and now I'm happy that I have someone to watch over holidays yay yeah big fan of that show I also really liked the first as well on Hulu I liked that too very different okay let's try flaring [Music] this is still we need to still drop out of the sky here ladies and gentlemen this is I realize my perspective is a little wonky there we go spread the butter here we lost our air break but look at that at least we stopped not bad deploy the chutes I want these sheets to be deployed real quick come on chutes we broke our little we broke our thing a little landing leg big in the front our air brake oh that's I'm actually pretty happy with that mission granted we needed to totally cheat to get off of the moon but we never really meant to go to the moon in the first place and we did and we had just a great time are you guys are you guys feeling like we uh we did what we needed to do because I feel like we did glide ratio plans cooperating brick although it pulls up quite a bit but then once it stalls it just literally just come straight down now I wish I had done better whoo there we go well I think that's gonna do it for me guys I'm gonna I'm gonna tune out I'm gonna head out I already have some family holiday stuff going on today already it begins so it begins yeah I'm happy that's good enough way to spend the Saturday morning when there's no launches you might as well test to see if a dream chaser can recreate Apollo 8 why not oh wow how are you guys you guys happy I ended up streaming for like hours instead of uh yeah many hours two and a half hours almost and I'm gonna cut this thing into multiple bits too so uh thanks guys oh yeah that it went yeah we went from drop test of Dream Chaser to orbital flight test of Dream Chaser to orbital flight test Apollo eight Dream Chaser to Apollo 11 dream chaser and now who knows who knows anymore ah yep guys that's it again remember if you want you can check out here we have those new shirts Apollo eight shirts if you guys are these are limited edition they'll be only available through December 31st ending at midnight Pacific Standard Time and then uh yeah then you can get these they're just like the bee rancher it's a limited run we will produce them in January and then ship them out to you in January again we don't do things print-on-demand anymore everything is actually made hand screen pressed much higher quality much better shirts altogether so your patience is always appreciated notice it says in big red that these will ship mid-january so if you order these just to keep that in mind but yeah Apollo 8 shirts limited edition while you're there just checkout anything else we have the moons are back in stock now we're working on trying to get grid fins back in stock let me see I we might not have any now still we got stickers you guys were asking about this now we do include the remove before flight sticker that comes on your bags those now are included in the sticker packs so you're welcome that was a good idea I don't know why we didn't do that in the first place so yeah the sticker packs better these have been selling like crazy so thanks for I can't wait to see I have it on don't even have one for myself yet I was really excited to wear this around that's gonna be one of my favorites so yeah

you guys for everything that's gonna do it for me I'm Tim da da astronaut bringing space down to earth for everyday people by everyone [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] you
