This is what happens when the engineers forget to ask why.
Forget? Good engineers never ask why and hope no one else thinks to ask before it's too late

"Without a rapid unplanned disassembly" is now my favorite phrase for things exploding
It's a quote from Elon Musk's video on testing his self landing booster rockets
That phrase goes back a long way in rocket history
@@Shuroii Elon Musk has used that phrase long before 2017, and it goes back to at least before the Moon landing
@@_Andrew2002 damn straight, brother
Well.. if he planned it it would not be unplanned... problem solved.
5:32 "The pilot would be experiencing the weight of a two fully-loaded 747's.."
*shows jeb realizing he's still alive somehow and slowly having a mental breakdown, wondering what the hell he's made of*
Pure, unadulterated badass.
Its Bill aaaAAaaaaA
He's in creative mode
It is bill.
Kerbonium
BW: *Casually mentions that if this rocket car doesn't hold itself to the ground and have drag it will escape Kerbin's influence*
Me: How are you so calm about this?!
When ksp 2 comes out him and Scott Manley NEED to play multiplayer together.
i was laughing my ass off at the visual for that
it wasnt drag that was the issue - I'm pretty sure heating would be the main factor
2500 g isn't fascinating enough?
Well, if I didn't hold myself to the ground and didn't have drag, I could escape the Earth's influence on my bicycle.
For comparison the escape velocity of Kerbin 3 431m/s
so he really needed that flap to keep himself on the ground
holy crap
Orbit velocity is higher than 431 m/s
@@whitedawn2122 he said 3431
Oh, now I notice the 3 in “Kerbin 3
431m/s”
You would need it for anything more than orbital velocity, of course, but it’s cool to know that you don’t have to be bound by the planet if you don’t want to.
For those curious, the real life record is 763mph, 1228kmh, or 341m/s. Which means he exceeded it by 12.56 times
You know, most people direct their thrust upwards in order to escape gravity
This car just points to the horizon, and hits the nitro
Any direction points to space if you go far enough
@@eliwatson7936 any velocity is escape velocity if you're patient enough
Who would win?
4000g's vs bill kerman
The highest instantaneous g-force ever survived by a human was around 200 gravities. Bill is literally 20 times more resilient than a human.
Bill. He's been through worse.
@@brendanhenderson6999 Man jebediah would just flex on em and come back as good as he was and will ever be
Henkil Epsilon wow who was that? I thought ~15 Gs is the limit for humans; I was very wrong, apparently
@@henkilepsilon6396 yeah, but 4000g's isnt even his limit.
Rip “An Odyssey By Bill”
Why did you stop that series?
The Odyssey by Bill has not stopped - I've merely not found the time recently to update. It will continue!
Bradley Whistance oh hell yeah!
@@BradleyWhistance YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
@@BradleyWhistance Yesss!
what about non-crewed version?
how fast can no-kerbal craft go?
Using a kraken-drive and some other techniques, I've gotten a craft to go at about 80km/s. Unfortunately, this isn't a land speed record anymore, seeing as kerbin's influence simply isn't powerful enough to keep 80km/s on the ground
The k drive I have moves things slowly and works more like a anchor when in atmosphere
*WHAT POWER DID YOU DISCOVER!*
I have gotten to 3000000 times the speed of light before the game crashed
Hmm... seems I need to create an eldritch Valentina to harness the power of the kraken...
Shuroii does land speed record hold true for other planets 🤔
To orbit on wheels? In my time we used chemical propulsion, to and from the Mun, uphill both ways!
Ironically, uphill both ways is factually correct in this case.
It's not every day someone demolishes a record set by Stratzenblitz :))
To be fair, in his 2nd land speed video Stratz already used a part clippinf design to escape Kerbin, the escape velocity run he did is significant for not heavily relying on clipping to work
@@dsdy1205 3rd

Fascinating. Glad Bill is OK. The land speed world lost one of their own August 27, 2019: Jessi Combs. She died when her car failed to stop and left the track.
Next month: Brad Whistance gets into orbit using only reaction wheel torque as propulsion.
dontcheckmychannel I want to see if he can make an ion ssto with his prop tech, probably not mathematically possible unfortunately
You can actually make a helicopter using nothing but reaction wheels and basic fins as propulsion.
@@knownas2017 I know. But getting into orbit is a whole different deal.
@@dontcheckmychanel
Additionally,
Today...
I was capable of creating a 'Spinbot' that only used Reaction Wheels and Basic Fins as propulsion, and reached speeds of 300m/s easily.
The 'Spinbot' became unstable, which caused it to... 'land' into the ground at very high speeds, causing a 'premature disassembly', and 'pretty lights'.
So, it may actually be possible to orbit with the Reaction Wheel method.
I was also abusing Timewarp x4, but that's not important.
dontcheckmychannel his props can get to 1000ms so maybe with Ions he could get enough delta v and twr to get to orbit
Two words:
Holy crap.
That's 4 words, a semi-colon, and a perior
PhoenixUltraMotive It’s a colon.
Next up, solar escape velocity.
Bradley: I set a new record
Stratenblitz, God of Vanilla KSP: *Are you challenging me?*
For a sense of how fast this actually travelled, it was going at its top speed mach 12.4 or 12.4 times the speed of sound which means it was going plasma-sonic, much faster than hyper sonic. Irl this would have meant he would have had radio blackout in the same way re entry capsules do during re entry.
Never heard of that term before!
Generally anything Mach 10 to 25 is referred to as high-hypersonic. Anything greater than Mach 25 is just re-entry speeds. Also, plasma blackout mostly occurs on re-entry.
5:47"The pilot experiences the mass of two fully loaded 747s."
The kerbal: shakes hands something like 2 minutes late
So I dont know when this was added of if its been in the game for a long time and I just never noticed, but I just found out today that chairs have a slider that allows you to change the ejection velocity. Not sure exactly how much velocity it adds but even if its 20 m/s or so that might allow a new missions!
Just checked and its about 19 m/s so meh but still cool i guess
@@WiddleBit he can use that seat to land on planets like in his low-ton missions to Moho, or other planets, he can use it to land back at earth rather than using precious fuel that isn’t really available in his low-ton missions
I love how you calmly explain everything like you're presenting your research at a scientific conference!
I enjoy that Stratzenblitz's wonderful cinematic attempt literally travels the length of the pole to get up to speed, and you manage to do it in about half that, with even higher speed. Also, that deceleration is quite possibly the most Kerbal number I've heard in quite a while...its so magical
BW: *Breaks land speed record by accelerating too fast to compute*
Also BW: "Take it easy"
Nothing about that looked easy...
The stuff you come up with always makes my eyebrows shoot off my face into the ceiling
I'm so happy you're still doing these lol. I watched some of the older land speed videos way back when you both did these and it's nice seeing new records still being broken lol
just watched the last land speed record video a few days ago and you blew my mind yet again with this one, good work man!
That was an excellent video. You earned some real insight into how the game works, so thanks for sharing and congrats on the record.
What's really impressive is not just the speed, but the commitment to manually flying to the north pole (instead of cheating your way there) and safely decelerating instead of letting it explode.
I mostly admire the fact you flew it to the polar ice cap, i struggle to make a decent plane in this game and you made a flying car....subbed
Entertaining, good start to finish. great vid Bro !
nicely done and impressive! keep up mate !
Bae: Come over
Me: I can't, I'm playing KSP
Bae: My parents aren't home
Me:
Bae: come over
Me: I can't I'm playing KSP
Bae: but I bought KSP too
Me:
This is fantastic, but Stratzenblitz still has you on style points tho
Well done! Now my jaw is nowhere to be found
Cool! I never thought of using the minimum amount of fuel in a sepratron to gain more acceleration.
You didnt mention how you ended up dealing with the ground unrendering past a certain speed. I know back when strazenblitz did his run, it was a pretty huge problem. Did the 1.8 terrain improvements change that aspect of terrain rendering or did you simply not encounter the problem due to the insane acceleration?
Finally video from you your videos are the best
Love it brad, one of my favorite tubers
The best part of the Metrical System is that you can say it on meter or kilometers without dividing by 12.3 or 3.8 or 1.4 like feet, thumb ans miles morales system
You have outdone yourself good sir! Fantastic!
Wow I just watched the original video for the first time yesterday and now this. Great timing
The escape velocity is killing me 😂
“In Russia, orbit come to you”
I'd like to see a build video on the last stage. How do you get your vehicles so stable and planted to the ground?
I agree that this needs a deep dive. Add it to the list of content that I need to produce!
I can't believe it - Stratzenblitz has been beaten! However, I can't say I am surprised by _who_ beat him. Well done, Bradley!
Straight to my recommendation, not even watching ksp video anymore but CZcams does it anyway..
Btw that vehicle is nuts
Nicely done!
Nice

Ok now this is just weird I literally just saw the old video randomly out of my recommendations like 3 days ago and somehow after 2 years u make a new video about it within a week
Wow! This smashes the previous attempt which broke escape velocity.
5:16 *scatmans world starts playing*
You could perhaps use this design to, like, go to the Mun by getting up to speed from the ground.
Hermaeus Jackson and he can’t use any thrust after takeoff?
@@streetfood7568 No thrust until he's inside the soi of the Mun.
gajbooks yeah forgot he has to land lol
gajbooks wait does the mun have an atmosphere? I haven’t played that much and I can’t remember
If it has an atmosphere he can just parachute down
This is the spirit of science and engineering, in real life we've developed so many "broken" things, and it's all because we push the systems that govern our universe to the max.
I love the voice over videos!
A bradley vid!!! Can't wait! :D +1
what they really need in this game is surface coatings, like cork, nanoparticles, graphene, graphite even (dangerous!), If there was a tech tree for coatings in KSP I would play with deadly reentry.
Oh boy the rivalry is back!
Is it possible to get intercepts with other planets with this by tuning the amount of fuel, your exit vector from Kerbin's SOI and your Kerbin's position in orbit?
Is it possible to built a launcher able to put something into orbit, under normal conditions, and without any form of powered flight (it can be powered only when in contact with the ground)?
Coasting on the surface at the top speed requires about 3 times the centripetal acceleration provided by Kerbin's gravity. So Bill would be feeling -2G just from following the slight curvature of the planet's surface (ignoring the forwards/backwards acceleration). That's pretty damn fast.
Brad: sets a KSP record
Also Brad: _there is another_
I can't wait to see you in KSP 2
So you don't play with part or kerbal g-force limits? I always use them, and plasma blackout. I also use a bunch of parts mods though...
"rapid unplanned dissasembly" sounds kinda fun, will try it with my flying pancake...
Sick seeing the payload shoot off the planet. You should make a moon express!
Is this with or without glitches because i can get something to go stupidly fast with glitches
When they rammed the F-4 Phantom jet fighter into a concrete slab on a rocket sled it experienced a deceleration of over 700 G. Bill here would not even be a fine mist at the numbers we're seeing in this experiment :D
Wasn't that the average acceleration during then impact?
@@matsv201 perhaps, I don't remember the details.
@@Greippi10 it would seam that going from 700km/h to zero in 3cm would need more than 700G
@@matsv201 possibly, I have no idea where I got that number from.
I think you can use the cheat menu to just place you anywhere with the push of a button?
Being an engineering student, its funny when you hear people mention the units in imperial, but most engineers can do the conversion
Would it be possible to use what you learned here to make a "most intense suicide burn" mission? Try to pull the most g's during a suicide burn as possible and still have the pilot survive.
that's immense :D presumably the stopping power comes from the aero drag of the exposed stack of separatrons, right?
bingo thats it, he even explained that's why he deploys the last faring, to use the separation drag to slow down.
Love the little spoiler on the cart xD
i dont know if your acceleration, lowering heat, maths works out very well? you accumulate heat faster when you go faster so hows it saving you from the alternative of slowly speeding up but slowly getting to the heat?
This is amazing!
I wonder how much this can be improved in KSP2, since it does not have heating yet. Unfortunately, the game crashes whenever I try to play.
How do the sepratrons act as airbrakes like that just by not being covered? Are they particularly draggy compared to other parts?
3:09 now this is pod racing
my original challenge was to attain the maximum speed on the runway and stop before you reach the end. environmental conditions: stock atmo/aero, normal heating. disqualification conditions: losing or jettisoning parts, leaving the ground, going off the end of the runway. I think someone Ironmanned it and managed to hit 1300m/s.
Man those Lightyear tires are tough
“Rapid Unplanned Disassembly” is a *very* Kerbal phrase.
Stratzenblitz75 has entered the chat
Kerbals are incredibly durable little creatures to survive those kinds of G forces.
If you disable aerodynamic drag you can go even faster and escape kerbin after it burns out.
This might not be a good time to note that for official land speed record you need to reach those speeds twice within an hour using the same "car".
Could be a kick-ass ejector seat!
Now THAT'S Pod Racing.
I wonder why there are batteries in the car. Are they used for reaction wheels?
AMAZING!!
You know Bill Kerman is Bill Nye the science guy, when he can endure 4000g's of force without dropping dead after the trip
For refrence, that's just under 12 times the IRL land speed world record.
Bill's last transmission: "...it's made of stars"
Him: perfectly explaining everything in high detail
Me: "hehe, plane go brrrr"
"look, i don't know what happened?" "all i know is it's orbiting the sun."
those Gs… talk about "riding the Sun"
Could we get a tutorial on some of the aero-model secrets that you've found?
Attach everything inline, don’t put a heat shield at the front, put it behind some aerodynamic part and offset it forward
Something Generic the 3 part mission that strazenblitz does has some tricks
Planetary tour but all the maneuvering burns are performed within 5 meters of the ground. MULTI-ORBIT DRIFTING
A challenger approaches
This craft can be summarized in the words: HOLY SHI-
See a good engineer does not look at something and think "that's a bit much" a good engineer looks at something and says "I can push it further!"
