After shooting my normal pocket nuclear reactor i can comfirm it did not explode, Though i have started to glow in the dark.
But you could not turn Hulk. Oh well.
So you work for the CIA now?
hmm, weird. mine just sparked a lot and now all the grass in the back garden seems to have grown a lot
Try plutonium instead.

"We don't have nuclear engines in the game"
Nerv atomic engine: _Am I a joke to you?_
He said JET engines
Still funny though
the nerv-a engine is not an atomic engine as it uses oxidizer. closed bell and open cycle engines heat liquid gas or just plain but volatile liquids like alcohol and kerosene to accelerate thus there are very efficient. Also you can build SSTO with ramjets and open cycle engines as they both only use liquid fuel, so you do not have to balance the craft out midflight. ideally, you can also use thermonuclear jetengines, as shown here to take your SSTO on a suboribtal trajectory without using any d/V and then fire up a thermal nozzle which uses the wasteheat of your thermonuclear jet engines as a propellant to go into orbit with practically no fuel at all. Once in space, if you have a reactor on board that produces alot of waste heat you can go anywhere you like without using any fuel although the burn times might take a couple of years. So yeah nuclear propulsion is awesome. In the interstellar extended the nerv-a engine gets replaced with a real open cycle engine and you even get fuel tanks which only hold one kind of propellant thus saving alot of weight, since you don't need to have to have two tanks built into one cylinder. with only one long tank and the new nerv-a engine you can get up to 45000 d/V in a vacuum.
@@juleswoodbury58 I mean yeah but the description of it literally calls it the "LV-N 'Nerv' Atomic Rocket Motor"
Jules Woodbury in fact the Nerv engine does not actually use oxidizer in practice! It is modeled after the real-world theoretical nuclear thermal rocket, which uses a fission reactor to heat its propellant and force it out of the rocket nozzle to generate thrust (as opposed to a normal rocket, which ignites the propellant and uses the energy released by the resulting chemical reaction for that purpose).
Hahahahahaahahah he said "we don't have nuclear JET engines in the game"
Every time I make a nuclear engine, someone over reacts
FYI: I don't have a nuclear engine
please exit this room
You have permission to Alt+F4 outta here
Well, don't have a melt down over it.
Hahaha over reacts! Get it?
This pun was so bad I want to fallout of a moving car
It's weird that nuclear trains didn't get as far, since trains can have very big/heavy engines in a way a plane can't.
Well, everyone would like it, but no one wants it first
@@sitfish1113
tell that to the Americans
@@Graknorke Americans live rent free in your head

@@KingOfTresune hold up what
The US did also experiment with molten salt cooled Thorium reactors for aircraft. The cool thing with those reactors is that they will shut themselves down before melting down.
this is why thorium is the best

He got it because of nuclear radiation

Saw this, checked time, then he said it
My god, can you imagine if we really had nuclear cars? Every time a drunk driver accidentally scratched someones car the neighbouring city block would be vaporised.
Imagine nuclear cars in the Middle East. The region becomes a wasteland.
nuclear reactors are physically incapable of exploding, they do not contain the right ingredients nor the right environment. Yes if the reactor was breached it could melt down and leak molten uranium fuel and radioactive vapors but it could not explode.
Yup.
It's a very complicated thing to produce a nuclear explosion, it's a secret art only mastered by the real peoples who truly embraced Cold War with the joy of overwhelming destructive power.
It's all about compressing the fissile material as quickly as possible, because the nuclear reaction tends to expend its own fuel at a tremendously high speed, thus stopping the reaction.
A damaged nuclear reactor tends to overrun, makes it coolant boil, its containment vessel explode due to over-pressure, then everything melts, then cool down. Once cooled down, the reaction may resume, only to stop again once the material expended again enough, but it never happened because the fissile core is so mixed with foreign material from the rest of the reactor it loose its criticality in the process of destroying itself. A nuclear meltdown is, in fact, a mostly fail-safe process if the core is kept contained in a strong enough building (TMI is a good example of a "safe" severe nuclear incident).
So, no megaton boom with reactors.
It would just contaminate everything and give everyone cancer, rather than become an actual nuclear warhead capable of kiloton blasts.
@@Jupiter__001_ A fate worse than death
Your original blunder birds idea seems like something I’d really like to watch!
Thats interesting that we got closer to a nuclear plane than we did a nuclear train. I feel like a train would be much more suitable especially considering steam trains had been used previously.
Fr fr
A train is potentially more vulnerable to regular old theft or otherwise damage though. A plane flies from A to B during flight only malfunctions or hijackings can force it to deviate normally, any airports they're likely to visit are likely under 24/7 surveillance, so are probably likely train stations where the train will stop.
The thing is, a train runs through random forests where there's no way surveillance can be financed. A potential terror group only needs to shortcircuit the tracks behind a signal to make it show red, and the train comes to a neat halt, where they can steal the nuclear material at gun point. And what if the signals malfunction and the nuclear train runs full speed right into another train, a nuclear disaster waiting to happen. The train can also malfunction in the middle of nowhere, then you're stuck and reaching the train with support vehicles may be time critical regardless of if these vehicles can run on rail or you must hurriedly build a road into the middle of nowhere.
Luckily this isn't a DC 10 based airliner.Will make a great explosion if it crashes.
Say,great effort making one of the greatest fan designs.
Great vid! I always like the recreations of concepts, it just shows what could have been!
do you use youtube from space? how is internet speed there?
Due to how nuclear reactors work they require a much safer enrichment level of uranium 235, unlike a nuclear bomb that requires a high enrichment level. A nuclear bomb also needs to become super critical, something that is extremely hard or impossible to do in a standard reactor, but because of the fact that most reactors generate steam they can explode but it would be like a dirty bomb instead of a nuclear explosion
You are correct good sir the chance of a nuclear reactor exploding like the bomb would be so small......
Cool
Tried to install RSS
Used my largest rocket to go to Mun
...
Cant even reach half of ideal orbit
:(
Also known as you really got to rethink your distance measurements. You need a really powerful rocket.
Takes about 9.8km/s delta V to reach 7.8km/s LEO. Takes about 4.6km/s to go from the surface of Kerbin to Mun landing and return. So less than half of what is needed for LEO.
Get something like FASA to provide you with real rocket parts i.e. bigger tanks and higher thrust engines.
My first orbital craft was a ssto that went to the mun and back.
@@psun256 That isn't so hard in default KSP. We are talking RSS. Now that would be a challenge though, an RSS ssto that could do a lunar fly-by. I don't think there is a spaceplane fuselage that could survive re-entry without turning off heat or modifying the part files.

Holy sh*t why are you here Klaus?

This is one of your funniest I've seen. Pretty standard for most and then the bloopers just come thick and fast. Dry self-deprecation capped with unexpected kraken and "Laurel and Hardy". For some reason this just tickled me immensely. W00t!
*Reads Title* Damn I was gonna make a video like that!
*Watches Video* WAIT WHAT THEY TRIED TO ACTUALLY FKN DO THAT??
JKerman511 the US also developed a spacecraft that was not just nuclear powered, it was powered by actual Nuclear Bombs.
Project Orion is the name of it and Roverdude made a great stockalike version of it in KSP
(Video by Curious Droid on the history of the Orion Project: czcams.com/video/7dUYfDg3G2A/video.html,
And a Orbiter 2010 mars mission simulation: czcams.com/video/DSK_mymJvkM/video.html )
They also proposed an unshielded nuclear missile designed to fly at supersonic speeds for weeks. The idea was to fly very low in enemy (Russian) territory doing heavy damage to buildings just with the Sonic blasts and spread heavy radiation all over the place. Horrible times.
Here is the link on the missile I mentioned. It was project slam. I forgot that it also carried a payload of bombs as well.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supersonic_Low_Altitude_Missile
Yeah, and the NERV in KSP is based on the NERVA engine that was developed under the Project Rover program. It got close to being flight rated too. There were a bunch of tests. And then Project Pluto I believe tested air-breathing nuclear engines.
As for Orion, it got close to being built too I think. People in the higher ups stopped it, but a lot of people across the board liked the idea (Air force, NASA, etc).
+Anthony Pelchat
O yeah! SLAM: The Flying Crowbar. And you think modern day Military-Industrial Complex is bad. Nowadays they are mostly wasting tax dollars and being horribly inefficient, in the 50s, 60s they where trying to murder the entire world in a test flight!
Before tackling Real Solar System, you might want to try Umbra Space Industries - the main difficulty it provides is life support. And it's not even necessarily the feeding aspect which is the most difficult aspect, I actually struggle a lot more with habitability. My first mission to Minmus was a partial failure because the kerbals got homesick in the lander on the way over and refused to work.
Lol homesick??? Wimps
So they got homesick and therefore refused to operate the lander that is supposed to take them home? Seems legit
Try to place down more kerbals

Hey Matt I just learned how to use the move and turn options in the editors and I made a small 3 seater plane, 1 crew module and a main cockpit based around using the editor options and it's pretty stable as long as you don't do sharp turn and I have air brakes and a main parachute if all else fails

Content is great, keep up the good work!
the best part of the video was the plane rolling lol. i needed a good laugh before heading to my classes tonight
"Tu-95"
I think you got it wrong lol, that's a propeller-driven bomber (which is still interesting because the propellers spin so fast they cause quite a bit of ear rape; it gets even more hilarious when you find out it's also used for anti-submarine operations).
EDIT: Wait, oops, there was the Tu-95LAL experiment and the Tu-119 concept. I should probably do the research and watch the whole video before commenting like a smartass.
Ya.. Pretty sure we all have
Ew! This plane contains rAdIaTiOn. I don't want to go on it.

Matt you genuinely crack me up
Very nice work Matt I love your channel ( oh make sure to get me a first class ticket )
I still won’t forget the time he said “I never make mistakes” and in every video he makes a mistake
Hey, love your content keep it up!
Create a stock or modded orbital megafortress with artificial gravity, solar panels, a cargo bay for short-term exploration ships, supply ships, ect. Docking ports to be able to continually add stuff forever, and able to build stuff onboard. Plus you can use it to construct and deploy the parts for other fortresses from the first one.
It is not to hard because you can launch up each individual section like a space station.
If you do this... you can use it in the super colonization.

“Tupolev Tu-95”
It’s a turboprop.
There was an aircraft based off the Tu-95 that was nuclear powered. I can't remember what it's called, though.
If anybody can find the name, I'll give you a cookie.
TU-95LAL
where’s my cookie
Air Plane
Yeah, that’s correct, you can have a cookie.

Nice video!! I probably should try to build a spacecraft in KSP mod when I get the chance to buy it.

Wow I actually haven't thought of that!
Would love to see you try Real Solar System with Realism Overhaul. Should lead to a blooper reel like your first days playing the game.
Dudeeee I did my senior thesis on Project Orion and would love for more people to know about how bonkers it was. Definitely do a video on it
Do you mean the Tupolev Tu-95 LAL, because that was the nuclear powered variant of the original (not nuclear powered) Tu-95
Kai Bowman Was going to say the same thing; the Tu-95 is just a turboprop bomber that’s still in service.
TheDJ, calling the Tu-95 "just a turboprop" is borderline insulting to... well... all of humanity. :-)
It is a rather amazing piece of kit. It's not the best or perfect, but still... "just a turboprop"... ;-)

@@TheCyberCrewLD It's a tad noisy, to say the least.
ههههه قاااا ماتفهم اللغه حقتي
You know, I play ksp with RSS and RO and after a month of only plaing that it becomes easier
You just have to get used to it taking 5 minutes to get into orbit and burning past apogee on the second stage.
chris kerwin Well, my fastest rocket to get to orbit took 6 min and the worst is not that , is that if you have over 200 mods it tooks loads of time to load and most of my rocket get to orbit before passing apogee
What kind of TWR are you using on the first and second stage? If the first stage is like 1.3 and the second is sub 1 or even sub .5 you have to burn for a long time. A solid state drive helps a lot with the load times.
Try the Saturn V. Massive hydrogen stages with very low starting TWR. It is a slow ride to orbit.
I play RSSA with stock parts and my 22 ton rocket can make it to orbit, its not that hard
4:49 in the rss space is really easy to approach just a medium sized booster can get you to space
Totally off topic but that track you got playing in the beginning just keeps reminding me to go drink some whiskey :)

Nice music choice!
Man everyone's got the great background music taste goin on.
How does those Wings clip together... every single time mine wabbel all around...
I like how he's just talking and the craft exploded.
Rolls-Royce developed a design for a nuclear-powered turbojet. The reactor coolant and working fluid for the turbojets was helium, and the reactor-turbojet package was expected to be used in aircraft like the Sud-Aviation Super-Caravelle.
I'm subbed for good reason
You should put a return vehicle into that cargo bay, and launch it in-flight, so you can escape eve's atmasphere
My favorite is the Nuclear powered Cruise Missile of Project Pluto. Envisioned to fly over the Soviet Union while supersonic and at very low level launching nuclear bombs out of the top on pre-determined targets. During the course of the flight it's nuclear engine would be showering the countryside in radiation and because of the nature of Nuclear engines, it would fly for weeks before finally crashing and serving as even better dispenser of radiation around it's crash site. It truly was the gift that would keep on giving.
