THE CHANNEL:
This channel is mostly 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 YouTube 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.

darn i missed it
Maybe the way to achieve the "knockout kerbals while in orbit" contract is to use the massive Thrust to Weigh Ratio of you previous stream, but only starting to thrust after spinning the craft, so the acceleration goes "all over the place" and you don't end up escaping kerbin 's gravity.
@23:50 the void calls
What you could do, is wait to knock them out by burning retrograde with maybe an oversized last stage in orbit.
Retro doesn't produce enough g'S I need a thrust to weight of 5 at 70,000 for a suborbital knock out when I got done Burning and getting the contract my lowest point was -530 with my apogee at 1 mil
Ah, I missed the stream, glad to watch it now
I managed to do this by spinning them around in orbit while very slowly accelerating…
But the thing is i didnt even know i took this mission…😂😂😂 i was testing some tug design for my asteroid space station
I used 1 flea in the middle, and then 16 ore fleas radially attached to the core one. Set fuel to half and sent it into a suborbital trajectory, when I reached the apoapsis I burned retrograde with the fleas. worked to knockout 6 kerbals
I don't think KSP simulates rotational G forces. I was doing research trying to figure out the best way to do these contracts and I saw somewhere that the game doesn't simulate rotational Gs or that the game doesn't do it in the way that you would think.
I wonder if the control point needs to be offset so there is a moving reference point.
Man, I wish I could catch these live. But Luckily I can still replay it when I have time.
I did some testing to try a few things that you didn't and I came to conclusion you only get g-forces to register when you change your orbit.
Things I tried to have g-force to register with spin:
Move the probe Core to the end of the spin arms and spin up/spin down.
Have a probe in the middle and at the end of the arms and switching the control point back and forth. (Both spinning and still).
Going back to the VAB and updating the root part to the probe core at the end of the arm. Then re launching and switching the control point.
For all the tests. I had gravity sensors at the end of the arms, and at the center. They always registered the same amount so the g-locking occurs for the whole craft not just the ends. There is also no way to set the location on the craft to check for gravity. This tells me that any spinning will just average out over the whole craft so the is no way simulate gravity via spinning in KSP.
Maybe there is a mod out there that will add check for this but I don't know of one.
Thanks for content Man!
I love it that you use freeIVA. I’ve also installed the cockpit replacement by ASET, and if you like a good SSTO, this lets you fly into orbit by only looking at the cockpit. It’s amazing man.
