A video about my flight to Mars in Kerbal Space Program with RSS mod. In this mission a crew of 6 is sent to Mars, together with the Mars descent/ascent vehicle, 2 supply modules and 1 habitat module and a car to construct the base and to drive around.

Obviously the mission is very expensive and is completely unlikely to happen in real life. My biggest concern was to make more or less accurate spacecrafts and to find a way to bring modules to Mars, land them and to assemble a simple base from them.

A real manned mission to Mars can be done in just a few launches. If you're interested, watch "The Mars Underground" documentary or read a book called "The Case For Mars".

If you're interested in Mars entry, deleceleration and landing, have a look at a lecture by NASA on this topic:    • NASA Talk - Mars Entry, Descent and L...  

The music used in this video is free and made by Stellardrone( stellardrone.bandcamp.com/ ): Journey To The Sun, Light Years, Comet Halley, A Moment Of Stillness, Ascent, To the Great Beyond.

  • Of all the Mars missions I've seen people do in RSS, this one is by far my favorite. This mission was a work of art. Major props to you man.

    Did anyone else press 'V' to try to change the camera angle when the ship reached orbit?
  • @jimalbi
    Ambitious and complex. Amazing.

    The music and the camera work made this go from a "kid" making a KSP video, to this film making me dream and feel like I'm apart of something greater. Amazing.

    greatest ksp video i have ever seen and i have seen a lot. You sir deserve major props. I tried to do the same in regular ksp and failed so from point of view if anyone can do a mission like this in RSS then they truly are masters of ksp. You should be hired by nasa or something.
