KSP: a SEA LAUNCHED Moon Rocket!
VloĆŸit
- Äas pĆidĂĄn 12. 02. 2021
- Today I launch an Apollo-Style moon lander from a ship in the ocean! A Sea Launch, if you will! Given SpaceX's Starship Sea Launch plans, and China's recent Long March 11 Ocean Launch, I thought this would be a fun challenge!

10:14 remember when you rescued everyday astronautâs Saturn v with an N1 2 years ago? That happened to him.
Such a shit joke
You say the boat was slow, but still itâs top speed was 126 km/h or 35 m/s. Do I need to say thatâs extremely fast for a ship?
that's the speed a top end speedboat would go, it was going 80 mph or 126 km/h like you said. pretty insane speeds for a ship carrying a whole rocket.
68 knots, a ship as heavy as that would most likely have a top speed of 16 knots if not probably lower
I think the reason the boat was turning left is the cockpit tower made out of lifting surfaces. I'm not sure why it would provide so much drag, though.
Maybe, but again I'd tested it prior to filming and it didn't pull left. Who knows đ€·ââïž
Maybe add an Vector engine
Just lower the thrust on the opposite side engine.
There's also its mass. I added a small spotlight about 30cm off-center within a bay on a 10-ton spaceplane, and the plane kept rolling to that side. However, that was repeatable and this isn't, so I don't know!
Yeah
This sounds like itâs going to be a good video already!
Edit: I was not disappointed - I love that driving launchpad! I wonder how much thrust youâd need out of those jet engines to do that IRL...
yooo evan haha
@@tauraspace hey Josh!
Itâs Matt Lowne, what were you expecting?
@@sackofwetmice428 I mean, fair point - his videos are always incredible!
@@evmcg no his vids are garbage nah jk
Love the opening, ânoise complaintsâ, definitely not because it is mega cool and hard to do, NOOOOOOOO
yeah lol def not because noise complaints, because if it was then he would be trying to make it worse with those water splashes
i would have liked but i didnt want to spoil the glorious 69.
EARLY LETS GO as an american pulling an all nighter was so worth it
Same
Laughs in European
Laughs in asian
Laughs in carribean
Laughs in European also
I thought it was going to be another sea dragonđ

âLowne aerospaceâs first sea launch rocketâ
Sea dragon: am I a joke to u?
Didn't ha made an submarine ones?
@K.M.S Tirpitz
Do you know how to use Do English?*
Its just planned they didnt really launched it
I think,.
@@astranarzoles3949 lowne aerospace did though
"noise complaints" Yeah right Matt, we all know you just want to get into Elon's good books
bro?
@@llawliet4249 Bro?
Lol
@@llawliet1522 bro.
This dude didn't swap accounts...
Using a rocket to align a rocket for launch - so very Kerbal !
Oh nice I recently finally got ksp on my pc and I've been loving re-learning ksp and messing with all the mods thank you Matt your videos are always incredibly entertaining and very creative all while you still have a job working in the NHS. Thank you Matt you absolute hero.
"Noise complaints"
**PROCEEDS TO USE THREE GIGANTIC ENGINES**
I once found a Min arch without looking for it, at the time I didn't even know they existed so I was quite surprised
For all mankind hype is through the roof.
At my first mun Mission I landed pretty near a mun arch.
I love the Sea Dragon esque rocket. That huge ship is a great and creative solution for moving huge stuff.
Except problems with that size of engine.
And cost.
And noise.
And Giant explosion if it blew up.
And not being effective.
5 in the morning! Perfect time to watch Matt Lowne!
I finally got this game and my first 5 attempts of a mun landing went as follows:
1. Not enough fuel, stuck in a mun orbit
2. Found out 50/ms is not a good landing speed
3. Tipped after landing, lost parachute
4. Forgot heat shield, burnt up in kerbins atmosphere
5. Forgot to actually do experiments
And on the sixth I discovered quicksaving
The Apollo missions should have been called Artemis missions as she is the godess of the moon
Apollo is the god of the moon as well. They were siblings I believe.
There is a real artemis mission using SLS and orion capsules
@@marcusrauch4223 Apollo is the god of the sun. Still siblings with Artemis, but their domains are unrelated
Funfact: In mythology Artemis (NASA's program) killed Orion (NASA's capsule)
@@ImieNazwiskoOK sounds like a bad omen
You know a video's good when just by the title u get Sea Dragon vibes.
Ikr
After losing my heart to play after my save got fubar'd and my ps4 just could not handle launching my super-behemoth, you have reinspired me with this mobile launch platform tomfoolery! Thank you Matt!
i like to think Jeb, on the way to the mun, would occasionally open the docking port hatch and say hi to the others.
I like that headcannon
Thanks for the idea Matt!
"local residence "
sure do hope they add that to ksp2
Also, stock boats would be nice too. Being able to do sea launches would be great.
@@EtsuMatsuya stock... why would they do that when they have one of the greatest mod communities ever
So completely unnecessary but so completely awesome, KSP in a nutshell.
Why is the thrust reverser on one of the goliaths toggled?
To counteract the turning of the boat in the one direction and to turn in the other
This style of moon landing option is called âlunar orbit rendezvousâ.
You missed a golden opportunity at the end for a "Matt's hwiskey review" segment. Great job on the mission planning and execution.
when it sounds like your watching Space This Week but realize it is a KSP episode xD
Sounds like a sea dragon with extra steps
Finally I have been expecting you matt
I can already tell that this is a Matt lowne video worth enjoying!
Amazing launch!!!!
Now this is the awesome quality stuff
Matt's CPU: What do I do
Matt: You speed up KSP footage 500x.
CPU: Oh, my, god.
Nice reference
This guys videos have helped me through some very dark times. Matt, thank you.
Very cool to see a larger mission like this relocated away from the KSC. Terrific video!
Nice, visual mods are working now! It doesn't look like a complete cartoon anymore!
Jeb comes alive, "Humans are just stupid, you can't quick save OR reload. How do you even get to space..."
Elon Musk responds, "We are rich little green space plant"
Val "Well at least I have a planet named after me"
Musk "should I try that??"
Next new planet found, Matt Lowne Planet
was v cool! awesome exciting video as always :)
Yay! New episode!
this guy Is amazing!
You should totally make a falcon 9 replica that launches from the sea and lands on land, instead of the other way around (yes I'm aware of RTLS launches but that isn't what I'm talking about)
Awsome! Continue the good work!
Nice Matt!
"I hope I got whatever message I was trying to get across... across"
I needed the laugh. Never change, please, thank you.
That's great matt đ
Awesome video!
Matt You are the best!
Now do that, but recover the first stage! Land on a sea platform or just splashdown I guess.
Matt, i found a min arc on my first mun "landing" (there were many explosions)
i cant wait to see the video,
3:50 (insert deja vu meme)
I have a challenge for you Matt, do a direct ascent mission to duna, except, do not use maneuver nodes
This guy is a GENIUS
The water looks amazing
Your the best Matt!
VERY POG
Looks like it's gonna be a good video
Nice video btw love the scene of the launch of the space craft in the boat or whatever u call that
The water looks so good
Lovely.
Nice vid Matt.
15:07 If you point normal/anti-normal during the final separation, you can pretty much avoid all risk of that.
how come you didnt do asymetrical thrust on the engines with the thrust reversers ? :)
next vid: Let's send a AIR LAUNCHED moon rocket!
and what's next? polar to polar launch? hmmmmmm
Let's actually do an Eve mission using only SRB's and parachutes
This rocket is soo awesome
Every time Matt talks about back when scanning tech wasnât in ksp I think âI started playing this game in 2015; how has it been 5 years alreadyâ
The wobble when raising the rocket and especially the helping aerospike are among the most kerbal things I've ever seen...
15:08 And this is why you point normal or anti-normal before you ditch the service module. :)
got to enable same vessel intersec for both ports with advanced tweakables if you want two docking ports on one ship to dock.
I love how there is always some sort of complaint by kerbals
I feel like this would have been a perfect application for a hydrofoil.
YES
I found a mun arch naturally! Way way back, when there was a launch tower and the ksc monolith hovered five meters off the ground. I was not spoiled for it either, so it was quite a surprise!
OMG I AM A HUGE FAN
10:13 That happened to me once. I guess i was the first one.
Matt Iâve been studying your timelapses and can now confidently say I am reaching your skill level
Yes
Or maybe no.....
Oml watching and playing ksp makes me wanna finish my degree so damn badddddd. Lemme work on rockets alreadyyyyyy
I recently found a Mun arch naturally also. Was testing a SRB-only Mun rocket, so i had exactly zero dV to explore it.
Cool
The rocket looks very much like my first successful rockets! :) The top stage is more sophisticated but, ahem, that's just payload. ;)
This is what means a rocket sea level
may the algorithm gods bless your kind heart
Nice
I love your videos
You have inspired me to make a sea dragon thank you a lot for your inspiration
Day one of asking for a career series
How long will you ask?
@@foodvideoshorts2683 Till he does it
Let's go!!!
YES đ
It may benefit you in the future to build your deployable vehicles with the weight at the bottom to prevent it from rocking and bouncing back and forth. As in, the capsule engine near the bottom and a fillable tank at the top. Once the vessel is vertical THEN fuel it. You will find it is much easier to move if the deployable item has no fuel in it. I have spent many hours testing and building deploy anywhere rockets :D Also I loved your ship design even if it seem to have a mind of it's own. lol
Whenever I land on the mun I can always see a mun arch I thought it was a normal thing until i watched Matt lown
Iâd really love to see you do a series where you actually play the game from the start and go do missions and collect science. That way Iâd be able to be a lot more interested in what videos than âoh pretty ship fly to far away place and not crash. Neatâ
Matt aerospace 1
Or something
Also blunderbirbs
I found the mun arch that's to the north of one of the craters, I think it's a southern one, on my own, but I've since then sent many missions there on purpose. Regardless of that, awesome launch platform!
just got back from the eye doctor and saw that matt uploaded yay
Coincidentally, Matt is also an eye doctor.
The boat turns to the left probably because the center of mass is slightly to the left of the boats centerline since there is only one control tower/island, which is left of center. If have two control towers on either side to maintain symmetry it would be fine, or move around some fuel to get balanced
lets go laythe with this crazy thing
15:23
Matt: "... But of Course we still have 1 more thing left to do in this mission..."
Me: "Whiskey Review Time!!!"
Hello Matt !!
this is so scuffed ahahahaaha
I love it
I once found a Mun Arch unintentionally too, it was ages ago
15:11 yes that's why you should decouple normal or anti normal before reentry
