Kerbal: Project B.E.A.S.T: Part 09

For people that don't understand why the teaser has some of us so excited

Congrats guys, last mission was legit amazing, top to bottom.

Like the above explained thoroughly, OH MY GOD IT'S SCOTT MANLEY! That dude's been to SPACE!

Well, not actually. He's put a lot of kerbal in space and gotten them back alive. I've only watched one or two of his videos but SCOTT MANLEY!

Cant wait till next time <3

This was just amazingly dumb. When I finally realized that what was happening would probably be happening for another hour I couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Hopefully this series will continue for quite a while longer and the Drew/Manley thing (which is cool) won't mark an early end to this.

Oh, man, this episode had me on my feet, shaking.

Love this feature - and the "next time on" bit this week is AWESOME.

@cikame: About halfway through your comment, I started hearing it in my head in a deep, sultry voice with smooth R&B music playing softly in the background.

Hey Mun. I'd like to approach your orbit from behind. So that when I finally touch down on your surface, we'll be on the light side, with a fine view of kerbin, baby.

I'm looking forward to a bit of roasting, hopefully.

The end sequence was amazing and tense, at least for those of us who had no idea if their plan would work, but still my favorite part was warping forward and realizing their Mun escape trajectory was sending them out into deep space to begin and orbit with the sun. I don't blame them for being worried about their incoming speed after having to swing in from that far out.

Guys, start working towards landing on other objects! Bringing the Kerbal's home seems a little pointless.

I'm gonna go ahead and assume that that isn't how people usually land spaceships. Well done guys.

Was anyone else screaming then laughing as they jettisoned away fuel when they skimmed the atmosphere? This series is just so excruciatingly good!

thank god for youtubes ability to speed up videos.

They vacillate between 'under thinking' and 'over thinking'.

I like they they say that their rocket is likely wasteful, that their plan was half-ass, and that they could have been more prepared...but didn't want to be more prepared because that would be less fun.

Its a fun series, I just think they need a palette cleansers after nine episodes. Also, they might need a rest. I don't think they were joking when they said they were all stressed out at the end.

Damn; so good!

@bbalpert: and there's me thinking that was Danny to start with. But that's just as cool!!!

No seriously, try Minmus.

Here we are, in Kerbin orbit with plenty of fuel in the tanks.

We should probably invent a new air-braking method and test it out right now!

I wonder how this will turn out.

Edit:

Not how I thought that would turn out. All hail the Walker maneuver.

Congratulations! Looking forward to more.

OMG. I had tears in my eyes.

So good! Oh man!

OMG THAT ENDING! I've been watching tons of Manley videos lately thanks to the B.E.A.S.T. Now he's here?!? This is the fucking best.

Well that was something..

TWIST!!! At first I was thinking this was some MGS/Project Kerbel tie-in...

Drew-Manley: Bring'em Home.

Oh... that "On the next episode"

I don't know who that guy is... but he sure has a Manley accent!

*holds breath* This feature just hit next level... AWESOOOOOOOME!!!

@kill3rkin3: if you haven't heard the GOTY podcasts yet, they talk about it there. But yeah, with how far they've come since then, I'd be really interested in hearing them talk about it more.

This is one of those game, like Minecraft, where I haven't found a ton of fun playing myself (on my own), but love watching others play, and am so glad exists.

FINALLY. Oh Crom, finally. So happy.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN????

: O

What a twist ending! Bring'em home lads!

@bbalpert: Oh cool. Although I suppose this means the recovery missions will be all competent and professional. Ha! Looking forward to it.

From reading the comments on previous videos on how hard it is to meet up with lost ships, I'm glad they're bringing in a ringer. Especially with one ship actually orbiting the sun.

That was a long, tense ride, I can't wait for the rescues to come.

Holy shit, that was stressful!

This is something that is actually done, especially on Mars missions where having enough fuel to slow you down is a luxury. This one from the Odyssey took 78 days, but they were using aerobraking to make an orbit, not entry.

NASA Mars Odyssey aerobraking

These are amazing.

The stinger stung! Long live the Project!

The Walker Method of Deceleration was pure genius.

Oh god, that stinger at the end. Can't freaking wait.

If they had to figure it out by themselves I think we would be another 20+ videos in this. As fun as that would be to watch I don't think they have it in them.

What an ending.

Congrats to you guys, awesome stuff.

The end of this was thrilling.

this was AWESOME

I don't know if what there doing is ever right or wrong so this was intense as hell, I cannot wait for the next episode with Drew and Scott.

I was waiting for them to blow and start the next run, it never came.

please get a 3d print of the luda lander!
