1. Surely bill would bake a potato with the help of a rocket engine, I can't imagine him having the patience for an oven 2. When the moon disappeared I was sure you'd been cursed by some terrible new KSP2 bug :P 3. Almost a shame you did this after they added atmospheric heating, but I suppose the mass of the heat shields were relatively negligible next to the rocket (I'm used to your final stages being much smaller thanks to our friend Tsiolkovsky, but I'm sure the voiceover will discuss)

So I see, the 6km-ish coasting toward the mun isn't because it's too much work to add additional, fuel, engines and requisite launcher mass to make this faster. The coasting is to give the jetissoned boosters enough time to clear the ship so they don't collide during the retro burn.

Yeah! Low-time mission! :) Looks like those rover wheels work well in KSP2, possibly better than they do in KSP1. Wait, what... "Viewers of this video are contractually obligated not to ask how the KSP got this rocket the rest of the way from the dock to the runway" is shown over a fine sea launch. Only after that launch seems to do rather well does the scene change to a very hard to see runway. It's not wrong, it's just the kind of edit which messes with one's head. Manual aspargus staging. I am officially impressed now! ;) (I was impressed by the structural engineering already.) Eclipse! I thought it looked good for a LoD-culling bug. XD I built another KAL-overclocked spaceplane today. It pulls to the right for no reason I can see. After a moment of annoyed consideration, I decided to keep it like that because it's so useful when SAS won't hold steady but will hold target or another orientation. Set SAS, light engines, roll so the right side is in the direction you want to make an adjustment. 44 minutes and 40 seconds! Bravo! Even with KAL-overclocking, I think only my leanest overclocked probes could beat that.

Would the kerbin ascent be faster using a pile of decouplers? You could get a trajectory that intercepts the Mun, and travel at maximum speed before using more decouplers to slow down. The same process applies for the Mun return. There may be many problems with this (especially high part count), but it has the potential to be very fast.

Question: why is Bradley using manual fuel transfer for asparagus staging? It seems to be less convenient than using fuel lines. Although I guess even fuel lines on the nuclear stage will significantly increase part count. I am just so used to asparagus staging with fuel lines, it's so convenient. If only KSP 2 properly calculated dV for asparagus stages...
