When I was building an escape pod I ended up building a mother ship for it. LMAO that is so me.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS :
1. When do you upload videos? - I make videos as often as I can.
2. What do you do for a living? - I work a full time construction job plus any overtime I can get.
3. Where can I download the craft file? - No downloads as of yet. I don't have the time, but these videos are meant for you to be inspired to build your own crafts.
4. WHY isn't the video in ULTRA REALISTIC SUPER HIGH DEFINITION? Because unlike your rich ass that can afford a KILLER PC, I have to use what little money I have, to make sure that there's a roof over my head and food on the table before I can spend it on things like CPUs and GPUs.

THE CHANNEL:
This channel is about Kerbal Space Program and can consist of SSTO building tutorials and rocket building tutorials. Some times the videos contain bad language and adult humor but on a low level. In these videos no planet is safe as we can explore space together by landing on places like Duna and Jool and build large Duna colonies or orbital space stations. Also, Interplanetary SSTO builds seem to be a hot topic in the KSP community so I will be touching on those as well. I also build SSRT space craft. These are fun to build and easy to fly! Warships or space warships are one of my favorite things to make. Stock weapons can be very challenging and so when building them over time , you get to see the evolution of the designs. Same thing with the Warships. They get better and better with each new design.
Now , I know it's considered cheating but Kraken drives are a fun way to put things like warp drive ( like in Star Trek ) and or hyper drives ( like in Star Wars ) in your Kerbal space program game. These game mechanic loopholes are fun to figure out as you find out how they work and how to incorporate them into your star ship design.
Everything from Outposts on far away moons and Mining Stations around asteroids and comets, you name it I've ether built it or it's on my to do list! I still haven't really explored things like building SpaceX starship or any of the NASA spacecraft, and I think that's because it been done to many times. Recreations of spacecraft can be found almost everywhere on KZfaq now and so making yet another one seem redundant. Only if the spacecraft recreation is of one that I loved as a kid will I even attempt to build it. Like the Apollo Moon Lander, or the whole Apollo rocket! Now that rocket was cool!
Many people have ask me if I'm ever going to wear my Mandalorian helmet ever again for my videos. And , yes. when the time is right, and I get a new wabcam, I will be dawning the helmet once more!
Thank you everyone! ... This is the way.

I prefer to use the onion pods as escape pods. 1, 2, or 3 Kerbal capacity, plus integrated ablator really cuts down on part count. Though, at a certain point, its impractical to make separate escape pods, and you can generally assume the main living quarters are reliable enough to stay intact, so it makes more sense to turn the whole damn crew compartment into a giant escape pod, and just put the survival and escape necessities directly on it, and eject it from the rest of the ship in an emergency.

@americanhat3766 Жыл бұрын

I always love these overly complicated (like *WAY* too fcukin' overly complicated) escape pods or small vehicles like this, its always satisfying to cram as much stuff in it as Kerbally possible, and with your artistic design you somehow make them even more compact than what should be possible. You should definitely try to use something like a 1.875m fairing as the main body and have a small habitat inside the fairing so that there could be different sized escape pods. Also, 5:45 classic Vaos fashion, accidentally turning a mole hill into a mountain 🤣

Lmao talk about an ADHD adventure. Sits down to make an escape pod, starts building head canon about the pod too... Finishes pod an decides to build a quick ship to test the pod fully. While building the ship he figures might as well add missiles then ends up making them fold out stealth like. Ends up making a capable ship with little to no armor. Just to test the escape pod 😂😂😂 Love you brother

The ship is perfect: a squishy, crispy snack, designed to one-way transport the escape pod to the planet you selected in that random survey you thought was hypothetical. It's like a premise with wings. And rockets. And missiles. Missiles that explode inside in order to justify the escape pod. Yes, perfect.

I have several small drone lifeboats in kerbin orbit. Each has an small airlock from stockalike station parts expanded, some fuel, two spider engines, a battery, a solar panel, an antenna, a drone core, and a heat shield. If a Kerbal is stranded (for example drifting away during Eva) the lifeboat can rendezvous with them and bring them to the surface.

@Deltarious 5 ай бұрын

I think most people would be surprised how relatively small a pod can be for long-er duration if it absolutely must be. Real life life rafts/boats are designed to support often upwards of 60 people for a few days and Apollo 17 was a 12 day mission with three just on the moon which is really a tiny craft to spend that much time in. I do think others are right though, at a certain point it makes more sense to compartmentalise the living quarters, make them more robust and eject/escape on them instead. Most of the reasons to escape from a ship in space IRL would have to be radiation or explosion related else you would stick with what you've got.

How About Vaos, Designing a craft that is a bigger shuttle that can land on planets of different types and have the stuff on board to be able to build a small survival colony for say 3 Kerbal's if their main explorer spaceships had a problem and they needed to leave it and survive there until a rescue ship came along? That be sweet..

i agree with @GABRIEL-ej4ei comment "You should do a tutorial on how to build a space ship. A fright liner, or something along those lines. The mother ship that the pods were in. " but a SSTO that looks noting like a SSTO but rather looks like a spaceship. perhaps SSTO spaceship haha that looks like a spaceship but can fly like a SSTO. the KEY-FACTOR here to not look like a plane... i like these cool looking spaceships you do but make them really work from ground to space the challenge would be a spaceship like style not pointy in the front that looks like a triangle and send it to space with cargo, fuel, escape pod. while its easy enough to build these, build them in such a way they can get into space and act like a SSTO. and if u need drop fuel tanks i'd allow it. who says a front is the front why can't the middle be the front. yeah you'll have all this drag but wouldn't that be the challenge. to try and break the normal

@andrews.5212 11 ай бұрын

As much as i like creating shuttle craft, drop pods, escape pods and such.. IRL IMHO long future mission will simply have no escape pods.. let's make this comparison. ships travelling the oceans in the age of sail had little boats for crew transfer, jump on an island and doing staff close to land in general. They didn't had entire new craft able to sustain the crew and sail forth in case of emergency. Same way a big vessel will have skift and or drop pods to perform all the sciency/exploration/transfer needs but no "escape pods"... Since escape would require soo much fuel, food and other stuff to make it as big as the original craft

@vaos3712 11 ай бұрын

i would say escape pods depends on level of technology. modern day ships have life boats because technology allows for the chance of rescue within a few days. Unlike sailing ships of the past. So for years long voyages through the solar system or even interstellar , life pods would be unrealistic. But, if technology got to a point where ships only needed days to travel interplanetary or interstellar, then Life pods would be relatively a good idea.

An escape pod would only really be useful if you can get reliable rescue within a few days. Its not really a tech thing; its a infrastructure thing. If you are in a heavily colonized solar system with hundreds of colonies all over the solar system at a minimum then a tiny escape pod would be useful. I guess a suspend animation thing could still be useful if it could be powered by a RTG. Of course that fundamentally means that you are dead anyway. You need to do all sorts of tissue repairs especially to the brain in order to make that work. \
