Kerbal: Project B.E.A.S.T: Part 08

Huston, we have a problem!

This is the best thing on the site.

"It's a long episode but it's the only way to tell the true tale of Jack and Eridolin."

Haven't watched it yet, but I highly suspect the last line of the tale is Austin screaming "VINNY!"

Isn't the moon technically landing on you?

Off work sick with a miserable winter lurgy, and this turning up after finishing the Darkest Dungeon Quick Look has really brightened my day. :')

Guys you really dont need the monopropellant , or that large SAS unit for that matter , it's dead weight. the pod has an SAS unit in it already. monoprop is for docking.

I hope this goes on for every monday in 2016! I go to bed early to wake up early watch these before work every time!

I know that this isn't an endurance run, but...

They made me go and land on the mun again. And accidentally press space bar instead of 'm'. And then fail to have enough fuel to get back. Fantastic.

Watching Vinny do a relatively good ascent is soooo satisfying after watching weeks of them slowly learning (or... sometimes the opposite of learning).

I think watching every moment of them struggling through most of it(with them slowly taking in hints thanks to the delay) made it way more satisfying than it otherwise would be.

[edit] holy crap that ending

STOP GETTING DISTRACTED BY SHINY OBJECTS VINNY. THAT'S HOW GOOD KERBALS DIE!

Jack exploded close to Kerbin. THAT COUNTS RIGHT?

JAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK

VINNY!!

JACK NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

RIP O7

Jack came tumbling down. ☮

Vinny has no faith in the power of drag and air resistance

For the record, the difference between those 2 solar panel arrays that the crew examined at about 15:50 is simply the arrangement of the panels. The array they ended up using is 6 panels all lined up. The other array is 6 panels in a 2x3 grid.

That's all.

That ending..

Just perfect.

Vinny, how could you have done this.

This show will never end.

Oh my god, I couldn't breathe at 1:14. The reaction after isn't even an emotion I know how to explain.

The TRUE number of the Beast is 616

Haven't watched yet, but I feel things are reaching a crescendo.. or apoapsis if you will.

That ending has me crying. With laughter.

VINNY!? WHAT DID YOU DO?!

Oh Vinny... OH VINNY...JAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!!!!

In this one they find the last things that could even go wrong other than forgetting to use the parachute.

VINNYYYYYYY!!!

Why have they never named a ship the Hard Markinson yet?

That time warp is killer

VINNY!!!!!

I'm loving this series. I think this episode is a good argument for allowing saving though. I think there could be more entertainment in more rapid iteration and learning which enables the completion of more varied objectives. Keep it up though! Very impressed with the rate of progress.

I'm pretty sure the last time I laughed that hard was soon after discovering Louis C.K... 4 years ago. My god that was something to behold.

They made that look easy. Right up until Jack exploded

VINNY.

You should try to get into orbit of the moon faster. It's more efficient to use 100% throttle and get out of the gravity pull as fast as possible. The extreme opposite of this would be to have a very low throttle and hover perfectly still a few meters above moons ground forever -- you'll have to spend more time fighting the gravity pull and therefore waste fuel. Your ascent needs to be as different to that as possible and that is done by having 100% throttle.

@general_desire: Isn't the moon technically landing on you?

This. Just. This. *applause*

Just an(other) amazing episode.

Bonus games for this series: Every time Austin says "Good Call" or an affirmative "Okay" you drink. Every time he yells Vinny, you smile. A lot. Because that is just fantastic all around.

One good crash deserves another.

Oh my god the ending... OH MY! Vinny!!!!

Okay, time to call it. This needs one more show, then no matter what, they move on to other games.

I hope this series never ends.

This is my favorite show on anything right now. I look forward to every episode, as I did back when Lost was cool, or Breaking Bad or something.

Also you surpassed my knowledge on most aspects of the game by now, which is really cool, because I don't feel the need to bite my monitor, when you go.

God damn, I love this so much.

Once a month I could see. But, there are other games that should be occupying this precious time slot after eight episodes. Its had its run in prime time, now its time for an Austin game.

Unbelievable.. he did it twice! And the game just wouldn't have it anymore. I love it!

VINNNNNNNNNNNNNNY

@monkeyking1969: I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to disagree completely, this is the best series on GB. This video is one of my favorite GB videos to date, and I've been a premium sub for like 5 years now, I've seen like a billion hours of GB content.

Ehhhh, nah, I'm good.
