- The best version of SLS... That will never fly :(
Edit 1:
The capability presented here is a bit to optimistic as the burnout mass of the core stage is significantly lower than it should be. This flight might still be doable, but the margins would be a lot tighter.
Edit 2:
With the M1D getting another 12% thrust increase the margins are no longer tight, even with the more massive core. TWR at lift off is now around 1.28

HE COULD DO BETTER
+HALL9000ish The N1 was put to shame when it kept blowing up.
Oh my god people who know history of rocketry!!! I love both of y'all.
+HALL9000ish The good thing for Space X is that they produce HUGE amounts of their engines -> they can test them really good.
+Robert Willis No, it wasn't a sound design. It was fundamentally flawed. For various reasons, they couldn't develop a really large chambered engine, and so had to cluster an obscene number of smaller ones together. These engines also relied on what was at the time the new tech of staged combustion. So, we had a situation where there were 30 new tech engines in the first stage alone, ( 6 times more than the Saturn V, for example, and thus at least 6 times the points of failure incorporated into the design)...plus they had a spectacularly complex system of fuel and oxidizer manifolds between these engines and the tanks (which were spherical and thus an inefficient design) and two additional stages to the overall vehicle, thus adding all those additional layers of complexity. Plus, they had to control this thing during its ascent by dynamically throttling these engines...which is crazy complex...and the Soviets lacked the advanced computer and electronics tech the Americans had access to in order to pull it off. Basically, Korelev, though a genius, was getting waaay ahead of himself when he first penned this thing. Could have been ego, I guess, believing himself capable of solving the problems with such an outrageously over-complicated design. We'll never know if they finally ever actually got it figured out, because there was never a successful launch. I'm work in design, and I can tell you, half a century later, that even by todays standards, such an insanely complex system was always going to be doomed to simple statistics.

It'd be wild to see 4 Falcon 9 boosters landing simultaneously
50+ years ago as a teen I watched the race to the Moon. Fifty years later My eyes got misty again watching the animation of a new Moon mission.
It's not an animation. It's a game, and that's even better.
+Kenneth Cummings It's a game, and pretty realistic one actually. If you like space then it's a great thing to try out. ;)
+Kenneth Cummings However dat graphics doe... It looks like a serious animation tbh.
+GamerGab007 That just means that many simulations look bad ^^ While the game looks good a simulation could look 20 times better.

+Antifoul Awl I'm pretty sure the tinfoil hat one was sarcastic
Watching this right after waking up, I was wondering when the part where 'Falcon 9 boosted ISS to the moon' starts.
No, I really wanted to see how the (whole) ISS held together during launch and how many Falcon 9s you had strapped to it to get it into orbit.
Like I said, watched it right after waking up :P

nostalgic! when i was 6 years old, everyday i watched this video, thanks for making my life better :).
same i remember watching this years ago sooo many times, videos like this is what made me love engineering and science and is the reason why im even in uni doing engineering and not doing some trade for the rest of my life
I thought I was the only one with this, but no lol
A great vid! Loved the directing & epicness :)
The score for when Matt was the Doctor will always give me chills. Also NASA should hire you for the new Moon missions.
macollo would be amazing at making promotional videos
this is why this video is fantastic: 1st because it remember us that we have done that, and the steps to coming back from that journey. from the liftoff, the pressure in it, the separations, the orbits, the math, the calculations, the materials, the switches, the multiple gravity variations, the chemicals, the people inside, what they do, their suits, their equipment, the landing, the returning, all that plus, what it was missing was the falcon spaceship vertical landing.
idk why this is one of the most watched KSP videos ever but it looks pretty nice!
It’s fun watching this in 2022 knowing that it’s taken until now for SLS to start flying, SpaceX went bananas with Starship, and now that’s the lander.
I approve this music.
we all do.
I don’t
Remixed 11th doctor music am i right?
mike WIZZ ye
10 is best, no one can argue.
great camera angles, editing, and added sound effects.
to make it perfect you need that mod that changes the rocket exhaust based on air pressure, like scott manley has in his current KSP series.
This was absolutely amazing to watch
You Sir, are amazing! You definitely deserve more subs!
it took me 100 launches to even remotely getting into space using Realism overhaul. Maccollo you should have added realplume to make it an even better cinematic. Even though the SLS mod is probably the only mod not configured for real plume but the lander engine was.Plus i love how RO gives me a 50% chance of crashing my game and having to wait 4 minutes for it to load back up. Murphy's law
+Shizzak
The game crashed like 5 times while I was trying to record this video. Now I'm just like: Fuck it, the spaceX/SLS launched Mars mission with Nbody gravity is going to have to wait until 1.1!
even astronomers visual pack won't work and i am getting everything from ckan. Can't use bobcatind mod for the soyuz. lots of really good mods that need some extra tweaking. not to mention but the SLS exploration engine drops my VAB fps to like 0.5fps. have you every had a interstage or a fairing just blow up your entire rocket 8 minutes into an LEO burn. Too many times for me. I fixed it by adjusting the decouple force to something of 30%
+maccollo how did you get RVE working. I get the clouds the city lights and the ground textures but i don't have any atmosphere textures. When the creator said to put the shared asset into the plugin folder and overwrite it, it just crashes on startup
Shizzak
I just installed it as per the instructions. If you have problems getting it to work you could try to start with a fresh install of KSP and start by just installing RSS and RVE.
+maccollo i did as you said from CKAN and github for RVE. It works but its a bit wonky. maybe it works better is ksp 1.0.4 but the only thing squad offers is either 1.0.5 or 0.90 beta
Just started playing this awesome game. Awesome even without all the mods. Great video!
Well people wouldn’t make mods for the game, if the game wasn’t already awesome!
Congratulations, maccollo, you earned a new subscriber!
Now I want to see it launch with FH Block 5 Boosters, a quad landing of the boosters and this to launch in real life (Would it be called Falcon-SLS? SLS Block 3?)
I once strapped 6 Falcon 9 boosters around a center tank. Called it the Falcon 42. Didn't even panic!
Great mission and some awesome use of Dr Who music, really fits with KSP :)
The music...
oh god the memories
Additionally, watching your videos made me try RO.
I fell in love before clicking the "launch" button... Only to have it ripped away when I found out my computer can barely handle an orbit capable sounding rocket (less than 20 parts) without some extreme framerate losses on minimum graphics settings.
+Jonah Beale (RCFlyer)
It might be the ullage simulation that's using all your CPU capacity.
Just open the real fuel config file (realSettings.cfg), and set the "simulateUllage =" line to false.
+maccollo
It's getting much better, however a couple of times a second the game stutters with a good framerate in between. Any ideas? Thanks for the help; I just managed to put a 3 person command pod & service module into LEO.
+Jonah Beale (RCFlyer)
From what I've read that's caused by the KSP garbage collector. Actually I had the same problem, especially with this rocket. I was able to reduce it significantly by setting up a profile for KSP in the Nvidia control panel with the max number of prerendered frames set to 1.

+maccollo
I'm almost there, I've uninstalled most of the non-essential mods for RO, and my framerate has increased drastically. Currently I'm attempting an Apollo 8 style mission, (3 kerbals to lunar orbit) of course launching it atop a very spicy launch vehicle ;)
Hey would you mind sharing your specs? I'm still saving for a PC, and my main focus is basically being able to run Realism Overhaul.

Me playing on RO:
**Builds 1200 tons moon mission**
**Gets back using the kerbal parachute**
"Yeah, a complete success, 60 science"
What is RO?
@@schizophil1 realistic overhaul I think
Cluster a bunch of 5 segment solid fuel rocket motors together and you have a booster that can send anything anywhere.
No way. Clustering lots of boosters can be dangerous you know. The excess acceleration can seriously injure or even kill humans or kerbals. I refuse to build RSS rockets with s***loads of boosters unless I consider redesigning core(sustainer) stage.
The acceleration from using four 5 segment boosters isn't actually that bad. The boosters are already to small for the SLS core with a big upper stage, and their thrust actually drops over the two minutes that they are active, so the acceleration peaks at around 3 Gs.
***** That's only possible if Kerbal SRBs have thrust curve, but as of now, I have to split just one SRB pair into several SRB stages, each stage giving different TWRs by changing the amount of fuel and thrust. I use SMURFF mod instead of RealFuel or Realism Overhaul mod BTW.
Kerbal SRBs have thrust curve at least in RO.

*Music started*
RELEASE THE INNER-NERD!
11th Doctor's theme FTW!
i perfer the 13ths guitar solo xD
Looks at lot better this concept.
yesss doctor who!! that's all I could think about throughout the video. and now I will go binge watch the new episodes.
My mind is blow! I can't even rendezvous two ships in earth orbit! Let alone do THAT!
+The Dockpacka Keeper The key to rendezvous is combining patience and careful orbit adjustments. You also have to use the nav ball a lot, keep the prograde and pro target vectors aligned and keep the velocity under control and you'll get there. Scott Manley made a good tutorial video on this, it helped me understand the concept. For my first rendezvous I built two crafts specifically designed to be easy to maneuver during docking. I kept the relatively light with 4 way RCS thrusters equidistant from the center of mass of the craft. I put one in a perfectly circular orbit to make things easier, then I launched the second one and flew it closer nice and slowly.
It gets much easier after the first successful time, it's like something clicks into place in your brain, you get that "OOH, that's how you do it, of course!" moment. :D
The key to it is knowing you nav ball and practice. Like the other commenter, I recommend Scott Manley's video, as it was my rendezvous teacher
not when you are limited by ignitions mate
+Chris R High ignitions and rcs, you'll be fine

Stars in a daylight moon landing? You have to be the hero of all conspiracy theorists ;)
Anyway, loved your previous videos and decided to abo, and good thing I did, too.
+sesnd Haha
Maybe, eyes are just enough sucseptible to see stars, whils camera isn't . On the Moon small density of ionized dust wouldn't be enough to scatter light from ground thus making stars visible.
Even with the daylight? I thought it would be impossible to see stars in the daylight of the moon... Mainly because of the reflection of the light on moon's surface, offuscating the stars.
sesnd yes you can see planets and the earth.
KV_IRA the reason you couldn’t see stars from the pictures on the moon was because the moon reflects a lot of light. In order to be able to see detail on of the surface of the moon and of the astronauts. They brought the exposure of the camera way down. Therefore, you aren’t able to see the stars on the Apollo pictures.
Ah that music and that sweet Roaring sound.
This is pretty cool
2:31 reminds me of Mission Impossible theme for some reason!

Who even watches TV nowadays?
I love how he just assumes that we are space nerds and know all the terminology
Most of the "terminology" is pretty intuitive. The only things are probably the abbreviations.
TWR: Thrust to weight ratio (TWR is the ratio of how much thrust you are producing and the weight of your rocket)
LEO: Low Earth Orbit
TLI: Trans Lunar Injection (a burn to raise your apoapsis (the highest point in your orbit) to intersect the Moon's orbit, ahead of the Moon's current location (as the moon is gonna move while you're going to it))
Some more stuff:
Propellant: Fuel
Orion: The name of the spacecraft (Orion is a real spacecraft currently being developed)
Capture burn: The burn to decelerate enough to which the gravity of said object (in this case the Moon) is suffiecent to prevent you from exiting it's SOI (sphere of influence, or the sphere in which it's gravity is the main influence to an object)
Escape burn: The burn to accelerate enough to which your trajectory will take you out of it's SOI.
i dont understand wyhat is this a recreation of a future space program or what the heck but this was a masterpiece especially when u transfered the idk those people into the other capsule , very well planned
