FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS :
1. When do you upload videos? - I make videos as often as I can.
2. What do you do for a living? - I work a full time construction job plus any overtime I can get.
3. Where can I download the craft file? - No downloads as of yet. I don't have the time, but these videos are meant for you to be inspired to build your own crafts.
4. WHY isn't the video in ULTRA REALISTIC SUPER HIGH DEFINITION? Because unlike your rich ass that can afford a KILLER PC, I have to use what little money I have, to make sure that there's a roof over my head and food on the table before I can spend it on things like CPUs and GPUs.
Thank you.

THE CHANNEL:
This channel is about Kerbal Space Program and can consist of SSTO building tutorials and rocket building tutorials. Some times the videos contain bad language and adult humor but on a low level. In these videos no planet is safe as we can explore space together by landing on places like Duna and Jool and build large Duna colonies or orbital space stations. Also, Interplanetary SSTO builds seem to be a hot topic in the KSP community so I will be touching on those as well. I also build SSRT space craft. These are fun to build and easy to fly! Warships or space warships are one of my favorite things to make. Stock weapons can be very challenging and so when building them over time , you get to see the evolution of the designs. Same thing with the Warships. They get better and better with each new design.
Now , I know it's considered cheating but Kraken drives are a fun way to put things like warp drive ( like in Star Trek ) and or hyper drives ( like in Star Wars ) in your Kerbal space program game. These game mechanic loopholes are fun to figure out as you find out how they work and how to incorporate them into your star ship design.
Everything from Outposts on far away moons and Mining Stations around asteroids and comets, you name it I've ether built it or it's on my to do list! I still haven't really explored things like building SpaceX starship or any of the NASA spacecraft, and I think that's because it been done to many times. Recreations of spacecraft can be found almost everywhere on CZcams now and so making yet another one seem redundant. Only if the spacecraft recreation is of one that I loved as a kid will I even attempt to build it. Like the Apollo Moon Lander, or the whole Apollo rocket! Now that rocket was cool!
Many people have ask me if I'm ever going to wear my Mandalorian helmet ever again for my videos. And , yes. when the time is right, and I get a new wabcam, I will be dawning the helmet once more!
Thank you everyone! ... This is the way.

This is by far one of the coolest shuttle builds I've seen in a while
That is pretty cool when your craft acts like real life aircraft/spacecraft. Happened to me a few times.
i miss your truck videos lol, hope you doing better 😎
Time to be a nerd about Shuttle 2
It was meant to have two extra booster engines for launch that get expended during flight, and four external tanks: two booster tanks and two tanks for launch and orbit. The payload bay was insane as well, it opens by flipping the engine section in the back down, and would have two robotic arms there. The best part about it though, is how the cockpit was a self contained LES. In the case of an abort, it'd just pop off and leave, and it can afford to do that because the canards are now acting as the wings for the cockpit, and would land under skids.
I love the concept and build either way, not trying to criticize it, just sharing my knowledge :P
You did great with what you have, it looks so good!
I just went to the comment section looking for some talking about the space shuttle 2 :P
Nice
@@MonteroJCs same
"A flying brick on approach." So a space shuttle lol.
Solid design! there's nothing more satisfying than building a shuttle with repeatable results. I think the mod you're talking is FreeIVA and it's totally worth it.
And here I thought I read somewhere that rocket SSTOs are more efficient in vertical take-off.
You never stop learning
That is a good looking bird with a nice payload capacity. I love the idea of ferrying big orange tanks into long orbits to use as gas stations. My fave mission to date was making a series of 6 gas stations that have near kerbit intercepts that Id launch missions too, to ultimately get a lot of fuel in orbit around Jool for another set of satellite missions. To inject 38 satellites into Jools orbit for 100%, 24//7/365 communications coverage. They used the gas stations as relays of course, so technically it was 44.
I love seeing people make concept shuttle recreations!
The legend is back again :0
I am extremely happy to see the space shuttle be relevant and spoken about even to these days. I love the space shuttle and any related content, and seeing it build be you it's a ksp dream come true. Very cool concept. You should make more creative reactions based on concept crafts from the real world. I think it would be really cool. There are many cool crafts from Germany, Russia, Asian countries and other regions that have their own style of building space craft. It would be cool to see them made on ksp by you. In any case, I am very happy to see you posting content. Have a good one bud
Btw vaos the mod where you can walk around the cabin is called FreeIVA and yes it is on Ckan
nice video this is really a cool concept, I remember when I made my own version and I looked from Nasa concepts and one of the design also had a launch escape system.
Vaos loves escape pods. I think I smell a Shuttle2 mk2 coming up...
good to see you matthew
@@rebel6301 :)
Very nice video! I loved the fact that the SSTO launch profile worked so good. BUUUUT, hypersonic reentry vehicles in practice cannot have wings as big.
I HAVE A CHALLENGE FOR YOU!! If you increase the pressure, temperature and acceleration sensitivity in KSP, you might see that the wings break. So would you like to give this another shot with the shuttle wings in KSP?
once again absolutely SWEET video. I think the mod you mean is freeIVA(which is on ckan but I'd recommend DE IVA Extension (also on ckan) which adds loads of buttons and functionality to IVA and I've also seen some custom configs for the mk3 cockpit which add a HUD, might be worth looking into
Free IVA is on ckan! Also I saw your too screenshots of this ship and did my best to build it. it's not as successful as yours but it's a wip.
Thank you, love video!
Waking up to a Vaos video means today will be a great day!
very cool video! I'll stay tuned for the next one
It's beautiful.
Props for powering through your heavy work weeks.
I can assure you your not the only guy who likes flat spins in ksp
Good shuttle. Take it easy VAOS
Really nice design and one idea to take it a step further is using nuclear for the shuttle's main engines like they did in the series For All Mankind
Mk3 with NERVs is terrible TWR unfortunately
@@erkierkierkitrue but there's this thing cal--- wait this aint Sfs
I dont think we can edit that easily
@@seantaggart7382 part editing in files is still an option, if you're brave enough : )
Stuff like this is what KSP was made for. Dredge up your favorite "alternate" design from 1978, give it a few improvements (because we are in the future after all), and show NASA how it should have been done.
Just in case you do a mk2 version, please add the LES. 💥💨👍
Absolutely amazing videos.
I built the SSTO that you showed that Mike also built, my first time I actually were able to get to orbit and deorbit successfully.
Wing incidence is generally a not so great idea for a spaceplane or hypersonic vehicle. There are multiple reasons why, but its use is usually compensation for poor takeoff performance (too large a static margin, overweight, lack of flaps, etc.) and poor design. The reasons why we avoid wing incidence on supersonic and hypersonic vehicles is two fold. The first is obvious, it increases induced drag at zero angle of attack (AoA) which is supposed to be minimum C_D for parasitic drag. By adding wing incidence you offset the induced C_D vs. AoA curve, leading to overall more drag at positive angle of attack. The second reason is aerodynamic efficiency (C_L / C_D or L / D). Somewhat counter-intuitive, but aerodynamic efficiency increases with increasing AoA, but only up to a certain point. This critical AoA varies depending on the airfoil. After the critical AoA, aerodynamic efficiency drops. So by adding wing incidence, you are offseting this curve too and reducing that critical AoA. There are other reasons, but they are not simulated in KSP. If all else fails, a better way to acheive the wing incidence you want is to have a higher nose wheel.
You possibly discovered why NASA didn't use the design, then rolled it to the runway and said, hold my lox.
Could well be why the real life STS includes solid boosters.
This really like concept ideas thks
That was sick
Nice design bud
Man, she’s a stunner! Such a cool build and shuttle recreations are always cool, I’d like to see you recreate some more shuttle concepts, maybe make it like a whole series Idk
I like this ship! It was exciting!
pathfinder moment
Yeah It's FreeIva, you can move around in IVA, and grabs some props and have fun. Like taking a fire extinguisher to propel yourself... ^^
you should try space engineers, love your vids
raster prop monitor and co are brilliant mods
When you get around to your updated ssto guide please go into more depth on the sort of re-entry issues this had. Because it sounds a lot like the problems that have scuppered most of my large ssto attempts.
Gooooood shuttle
Yay
❤
Try to build an aircraft resembling the yellow lines on the floor of the spaceplane hangar
Day 2 of asking VAOS to please make a new a new series where you showcase/critique your subscribers' SSTOs and rate them (by how much ∆v they have,how nice they look, etc.)
Brazil ❤
Yes, that mod is on CKAN. I’ve not tried it though.
You are not dumb, Seeing "immigrant behavior" that occurs in real life is really cool!
good video
The name of the mod is Free IVA
This ship is elite - do you share your builds?
Never mind, read the description - keep doing you VAOS, I’ll watch any content you get around to putting out, it’s always that goodx
9:30 yes
I feel like downturned winglets would be both safer in terms of tank jettison clearance and more energy efficient by pushing the drag vortex further away from the point sources of the drag. Thoughts?
Gotta love these ideas. What visual mods and TUFX config do you use?
😍😃
FreeIVA is an amazing mod i think thats the mod you meant but there could be more
Hey VAOS, where did you get the volumetric clouds from? Whenever I try to open Google Disk and get the file from blackrack themselfs it says that the requested file does not exist. Do you still have to pay for the mod?
yes. you must become a supporter to download the mod.
Yes freeiva is on ckan
What are your Waterfall settings? The RCS looks more realistic
I think its the original rcs graphics. there was a update a long while ago that deleted it. no clue why they did that.
Freeiva is on ckan
Why are SSTOs not used IRL, if they are so much more fuel efficient?
IRL Earth is sadly much harder to launch from. Much Much harder. 😢
Did...did you just reverse the roles?
Whaaaaaaaaaat? Vaos doesn't like canards?! UNSUBSCRIBED.
I think your math on the working hours is wrong. It shouldn't be working 60 hours at your current pay, it should be you ask them for a 50% pay increase, then you can go back to working 40 hours! Problem solved.
Do you have a discord cos i wanna post my builds which are inspired(copied) from urs
