Normal Kerbal: Orbit on the third launch, nice work!
RO: Orbit on the third episode?! i couldn't do that!

[Ramash]

If headlines came out on the 1st of April of '54 that someone put hardware in orbit, people would definitely think it was a joke ... until the 2nd came out and N9SA didn't retract the statement.

[aaalllooozzz]

I really like where this is going, keep on the good work! 👍

[lewisfoskett]

Another awesome video, was a very close call for the program.

[douro]

The RD-100 was a methanol/LOX engine derived from the engine used in the German A4 rocket. It was used in the R-2 IRBM.

[sharpi]

Really happy, that you did this series!

[drunkrobot]

Damn just found your series, very cool. Subbed !

[vanouille]

Just found out about you're channel, i love it, great work

[meinemeier]

Great rocket! I am trying to get into orbit for the first time in RP-1 and I was wondering where you put the avionics in your rocket?

[bradens]

I don't mind quick saving and quick loading if my intentions are to still be serious but just have fun. I like using revert instead of the simulation mod anyway, I think maybe the hard part is just finding a good game setting that is hard but still giving just enough money overhead to fail a couple missions and not worry about reverting.

[bongotastic]

Just discovered and subscribed. I will start RO/RSS/RP-1 soon. One (dumb) question: how do you run kOS code on tiny rockets? Is there a size-tunable kOS module?

[cmcaulay]

I just found this series and I'm loving it so far! Is there any way we could see your kOS script for launch? I'm having trouble cooking one up for sounding rockets so they stage properly. I'm assuming you're doing it based on fuel remaining in the stage?

[yabadab]

This seriers is just perfect., although I'd like to say that you can use mechjeb for controlling your rocket, might've gotten you to orbit on the April 1st launch

[MrNomadic]

Hey nice video, just one question, with the RD-100 engines I thought they were ground ignition only, in RP-0 anyway, but it looks like you have one on your second stage? I have only just started in RP-1 so maybe it changed.

[gavinjenkins]

pointing RCS backward hurts prograde because they have a lower efficiency, could use less RCS fuel and more main engine fuel by the same amount and get more prograde

[Devo]

I think the reason why The second satellite upper stage is I think you stage too early and the atmosphere started tugging on it

[QuibilusDrachenn]

Space flechette 👌





Never mind. Space flechette was abandoned :(

[tomvorat]

This sounding rocket looks oddly like a Aggregat Rocket...

[ryancarter]

In kos, you can make a "boot" script. In the VAB you make KOS open the boot script on launch and then boot script opens the spiro 6 script. Without touching it. Quicker than having to type in kos on the pad 😅

[thegaminggamerguy]

how do I pump the fuel in through the ambilicul cord?
