TODAY On Terminal Velocity: The end.
Finally, after 15 episodes of TV, I have reached the main goal: Boots on Mars by 1961, using the full RSS/RO/RP1 mod suite in Kerbal Space Program.
This is a bit different from the usual format of TV, covering just this one mission over the three years. Other missions were flown during this time (including the arrival of the Pavels), and will be seen again in Season 2.
This will be the last video of my career for awhile. If you enjoy this content, spread the word or let me know! It took a lot of effort to make, and any direct feedback makes it worth it.

In this timeline, the nations of the world dedicated their efforts to space exploration, the sciences, arts, and conservation of the environment. This mission is the culmination of the collaboration of long time allies following their victory in WWII. Nuclear weapons still existed, but only a dozen or so were made as much of that tech was put into power generation. Wind, hydro and solar power was in widespread use as oil and coal power plants were outlawed following WWII. World leaders knew the existential risks of climate change at an earlier time (1920) and acted in unison to protect the resources and biosphere of our planet.

As amazing as this mission is, it terrifies me that the hab modules are spinning like that to create artificial gravity, if a structural rupture were to occur (like in the event of a micro-meteorite shower or a stray derelict) then those hab modules could potentially be sheared off and launched wildly away from the ship, making any immediate chance of rescue nigh impossible.

@TDChannelKSP 3 жыл бұрын

Yeah, that is a bit terrifying. It wouldn't be too bad going there - worst case scenario, the lander has to rescue the crew and they stay in that instead. But going back there's no real life raft. A lot of Mars plans IRL do involve artificial gravity via spinning though (or a tether) in order to improve comfort over the long journey.

Also I love how the crew launch vehicle is just arbitrarily a spaceplane--that little detail really gives it the feeling that this mission was designed in the 50s.

Loved the mission I cant imagine how much work goes into doing that, my rockets almost cant reach kerbins orbit. But I tried to imagine a different time line for it, instead of 1960, the mission would follow the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project on the 70s, after the sucess of Apollo-Soyuz in 75, the soviets and americans decided to focus on Mars and use the resources that would in OTL go to MIR and the Space shuttle to make the Mars mission, they spend the next decade an a half developing the necessary hardware, budget and other problems cause the first launch of the program to happen on September 12th, 1990, 30 years after TD channels timeline, all other dates happen as his timeline just with a 30 years difference. Of course you can see something special happening with this timeline, on december 25th, 1991, the soviet union cease to exist while Vulcan is orbiting Mars waiting for the transfer window to earth. The two soviet cosmonauts on board of the craft receive the news but refuse to acknowledge until on the presence of a superior officer, the american coleagues decide to honor the decision of the two and continue to act as if the Soviet Union still existed inside the capsule, so from that day until March 21st, 1993, the soviet union was kept alive on that small space becouse of the 2 patriots, (movies would be made about it in the following years both on Russia and on the US), finally on March 22, Boris Yeltsin and Mikhail Gorbachev visited the quarentine facility the astronauts were staying to condecorate the 2 last soviets and relieve then from their duty, putting an official end to the soviet union.

Great video, best I've seen of yours so far. Other RO Mars missions go for heavy in-orbit fuelling, but no... 550t launcher why not. Also enjoyed the unexpected Otter epilogue - really well shot & scored. How did you create the mini centrifuge for ROK to recognise the spin that you mention elsewhere - a modified cfg? Or now that SSPX is well implemented would you next time just use that instead?

@TDChannelKSP 3 жыл бұрын

Thank you! Yup, decided to go fast and go big. Glad you enjoyed the epilogue - I thought it needed something more than just the usual fade to black after splashdown. The mini centrifuge is one from SXT that has an RO config but no RP1 config (IIRC) - I modified it to be much smaller with no habitable space, just to make the centrifuge act like one for ROK. I haven't looked too much into SSPX yet, but if there's configured centrifuges there now, I would probably use those.

Amazing and inspiring!!! May I ask how did you managed stress? I am designing a Moon base, and despite it being way bigger than the VULCAN, and being near home, and landed, kerbalism says it only supports 4 kerbals stress for 2,5 years. You managed to stay all that time in a way smaller ship in orbit and far from Earth (If I see correctly you only have the two habitable modules in the arms, and the habitable module and the crew cabin in the lander, right? I have also 3 habitable modules, plus 18 crew cabins!!!)

@TDChannelKSP 3 жыл бұрын

Thank you! ROkerbalism stress maximum is about 3.5 years, IIRC. I'm assuming you're using ROK and not standard kerbalism configs for this. Here's how stress works: Habitation volume, pressurization, and modifiers. First off, habitation volume. There's an ideal living space of 20m cubed per kerbal. This is the maximum you can obtain - any living space beyond that is a "waste", and obtains no benefit. Pressurization is a *huge* modifier, but since you're already obtaining 2.5 years I'm guessing you have that covered. The next is modifiers. Up to 100% of the maximum value, based on the modifiers you have. You can hover over "comfort" (iirc) in the VAB planner to see what your modifier rate is. "Firm ground" is the largest modifier. Here, I have a mini centrifuge on the ship (modified part) to give me this modifier, since kerbalism can't detect the fact that I'm spinning the habs manually. You should have this automatically on a landed hab. The other modifiers I have are: - Not alone (more than 1 crew member) - Call home (has a connection to the space center) - Exercise (comes from the habitation modules) The other two modifiers you can obtain are: - Panorama (Cupola gives this) - Plants (Greenhouse gives this, though there's no official ROK config for it yet)

@@TDChannelKSP great. I didnt know about that 20m limit. Probably I am way above that numbers, since each crewcabin has almost 7, and I have 18 of them, for 4 astronauts, plus some Hitchhikers... Maybe I can reduce habitation, thus reducing night electricity needs

HOW did you deal with boiloff??? Its my greatest enemy on mars missions! Very cool mission and extremely well made video to watch! Kudos! edit - the lander design is just incredible!

Maximum MLI + Radiators is usually able to keep it perfectly cool (though high warp can mess with it). Doesn't work as well in atmosphere, so the lander just has to live with a few hundred m/s of losses. Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it :)

Impressive! And more impressive is that you did it all with Kerbalism mod. And btw - amazing lander design! Oh, and what is this mod you are using for parachutes, for their realistic deployment?

Thank you! The chutes are from the Realchutes mod.

I'm not advanced or patient enough for RP-1...I just stick to RO....but it seems like you just flexed on rhe entire RP-1 community with an early Mars landing.

Nice video, high effort. Unsure how your PC can handle that big of a vessel but good work lol

It barely does. In orbit the footage is considerably sped up - a 30 second flyby took 10 minutes to film!

It's honestly insane just how much more taxing rp1 is than stock KSP.

Well I'd say watching Mars from phobos is nice & trippy. How the hell long did it take to design all this & put it all together? Bout as long as a trip to Mars & back?

Yeah, gotta love that view! I started initial prototyping at the start of December 2020 and finished the video at the end of March 2021 - however, I was also building and flying many other missions for my career (Terminal Velocity) - the series still hasn't caught up to VULCAN returning home. If I was just working on this, I'd say: -1 week to design the crafts -1 week to fly and film it all - 4 weeks to edit it together.
