Meanwhile at okb-1: -Comrade Korolev, there is a cosmonaut stranded on the moon! Should we use the unmanned backup lander we left there to bring him back? -Nope, just use the Nitrogen thrusters in his EVA pack LMAO

machaineà would be epic but this mission took 6 yrs lol

lmao

The Kerbals are super durable because they live in super low gravity. 1 G on Earth is about 10 Gs on Kerbin.

@@SMD234WG acceleration from gravity is very clearly 9.8 m/s on kerbin. but let's assume that their 'meters' are also 10 times smaller than ours... logically, their bodies have only ever adapted to survive in their much lighter gravity. so exactly why does that make you believe that their bodies are much stronger than human's bodies, who have evolved to survive in 10 times harsher gravity while carrying around a body 10 times taller and more than 10 times heavier?

Oof

Bradley Whistance Who would have expected to find you here

Thanks, Im rather pleased with the modular design, it gives a huge increase in delta V - more than 10 000 m/s from Kerbin orbit.

I really enjoyed this design! It made me wonder whether even more could be saved if plane would separated in Kerbin orbit, in order not to carry Rapier engines, wings etc. around?

Turbo Pumped wouldn’t that make it not an ssto?

@@kasyu1101 No. Single Stage To Orbit. It made it to Kerbin Orbit (and beyond) in a single stage. What it does after that is irrelevant in designating it as an SSTO.

@@ivansysoev8298 yeah but then it wouldnt be a Ssto a single satge to orbit

I thought he'll crash or so. Last minute operations!

The landing at 1:47 was epic too, he calculated it so that: 1) he's on bright side 2) planet shows up 3) landing on highest mountain CALCULATED indeed!

I was cringing when i saw that

Inside a simulation

i appreciate this comment immensely

He's living in the Matrix of our PCs.

Not necessarily. "Jeb, stop using supercomputer time to find new ways to blow yourself up, please."

you're *too* edgy

@@DARKinTONKAWA you can never be *_2 edgy_*

Osama Bin Laden actually you can be even 1 edgy like mobius strip

@@sergey1519 underrated comment

Also I don’t think you should be around planes after what you did...

Same

Yeah

Bradley wistance did that

I'm still almost convinced that a Tylo single stage mission is not possible without glitches or mods. Turbo Pumped would be one of the people I would expect to surprise me though =0

@@BradleyWhistance yeah now i remember that you did exactly the same thing with hundreds of passengers... And that you did the absolutly unexpectaple, so yeah.

laythe is just kerbin with an atmosphere but not life (*yet*)

Thanks :)

Shock cones dont realy make the plane go any faster and they are quite a bit heavier,besides I like the fighter look of the ram intakes.

@@turbopumped6490 same ram intakes 4 life

Thanks, the music is clubbed to death from the matrix.

Sounds like some of it may also be quoting Elgar's Enigma as well.

I shared it on in steam workshop - search for Jigsaw plane II

But he orbited with one stage

High top speed and altitude before engine shutdown

Just click on the targeted planet and select focus

Henry Zhang it’s an ssto on kerbin so that counts

It is able to get to Tylo orbit in the single stage as well, so it's still 100% an SSTO.

yes the nuke recharges batteries very fast. DV depends on how much you use the detachable core , it is more than 10 000 DV from Kerbin orbit in this mission.

@@turbopumped6490 and - because of the detached core part - can we say is it a real SSTO? I mean you used docking ports instead of a decoupler, so beside the engines, there were no stages.

Everything that gets into Kerbin orbit in one piece is technically a SSTO (Single Stage To Orbit) . It isnt a pure single stage to tylo (SSTT), but it isnt a space plane with a lander either, since it lands with an integral part of the plane. Its a hybrid between those two, but much more efficient than both of them.

@@turbopumped6490 yes, I know what SSTO's stands for, that's why I asked my question. Anyway, I tip my hat sir, you did a great work! 👍 When I'll be prepared, maybe will do something similar. Any good advice?

Dont make too large or too small wings - 2 units of lift per 10 tons works best for me. Dont use MK 2 parts unless you absolutely have to, they create a lot of drag compared to the regular circular liquid fuel tanks. Fly level at first to pick up speed then keep the climb rate at 10 %

Some 12-14 hours for the mission I think, recording while doing a mission makes everything much harder and more time consuming. Completing the mission isnt enough, it has to look good too.

And then there is the video editing of course, which takes just as long.

Everything is stock. The lander doesnt wobble because its wing pushes it up against the mothership, thus keeping it stable.

Yep, of course!
