Matt Lowne Do the UR-700! It’s the USSRs version of the C8: -Superheavy launcher for direct ascent moon mission -9 Extremely powerful engines at takeoff - never got built because it’s way too big It’s also one of the most Kerbal rockets ever designed: it uses asparagus staging and uses only highly toxic propellants

@williamlove6876 5 жыл бұрын
In addition to the direct ascent and LOR, there was a third proposed strategy: Earth Orbit Rendezvous (EOR). EOR was actually the proposed strategy for the Soviet program. In EOR, a ship is assembled (typically a booster, command module, and lunar module) and fueled in orbit around the Earth, then flies to the moon/Mun, where the lunar module makes a landing, returns to the orbiting command module, and then the command module returns to the earth.

Oh so that's what it was called, direct ascent was it? True, it is very simple and very intuitive, but I can see the advantages of lunar orbit rendezvous. I still can't perform lunar orbit rendezvous though. I'm finding it hard to rendezvous from the surface of the Mun into orbit, but I guess all I need is more practice. Edit: Btw, I've been wanting to tell you this for a while now: Don't mind people who tell negative and unconstructive things about your videos. I for one enjoy your videos and look forward to it everytime.
@ferret1337 6 жыл бұрын
Hohmann transfer was considered the safest way to get to the moon. direct assent requires tons more power on earth yeah. ,, i agree so many negative jerks on youtube. it's a small group of people compared to tons who actually care about science, space and having intellectual discussion.

+pahlavi5312 Practice, practice, practice. Once you get the hang of it, and understand how you need to read your 'instruments' from the map screen, it is one of the routine things to do. (I generally have 4 a 5 rendevouz in every game-session i play). Now trying to consistently land your ships back near (or as an SSTO back to) the KSP, that one is challenging.
@pahlavi5312 6 жыл бұрын
Yeah I need more practice. I have no problems doing rendezvous while in orbit, but doing it from the surface is proving more difficult than I thought. Then there's also the problem of my lander's ascent stage lacking enough delta-v for correction burns. But I know I'll get there soon enough.

I do love your videos, and even though I'm not such as skilled as you at the game, i really enjoy the videos and learn something about KPS and real-life facts with them. Keep going bro. I would like to give you a challenge if you would accept it xD. It's something I would love to see done on KSP but i'm not nearly as skilled to do it myself. It is to reenact the Armageddon movie mission...I mean, if it's possible to take 2 spaceships Freedom and Independence that would be awesome, if not, just 1 will be fine, couple in a space station, refuel, slingshot on the mun and land on an asteroid, respecting of course the few stages used on the movie xD It would be even more awesome if the spaceshuttle could carry a vehicle(as the one they used to drill), but i think i'm asking for too much already ahah.

The Apollo CSM would have been the ascent stage of the direct ascent mission profile. The SPS engine on the CSM ended up being twice as powerful as it needed to be for a Lunar Orbit Rendezvous mission as it was designed to lift the Command and Service modules from the lunar surface into lunar orbit. The original block 1 Apollo CSM (only flew unmanned and was the type of CSM involved in the Apollo 1 fire) was the design that would have been used for the direct ascent profile. The landing stage for this design was never built but there were models and mock ups of what the whole spacecraft would have looked like.
