“If SpaceX existed in 1960.”
-
Taking the flag home makes it feel like a tourist trap. "Yeah, you can plant a flag on the moon like a real astronaut!" Excellent work as always :)
-
TD in 2025: “Apollo^21 but rss gravity is 10x stronger”
-
This was a really well made video, had some interesting twists that I didn't expect. It did make me realise how much of a rocket nerd I am though, since I spent most of the time thinking about how you could optimise the architecture to make better use of the reusability aspect. It does show rather well how reuse hardware cuts into payload margins though
-
A blimp that dwarfs even the mighty Saturn V. It was incredible to watch.
-
And all this time I thought the "B" in "V.A.B." stood for "Building." 😊😊😊
-
Awesome! You have one-uped Strazenblitz! The fool forgot to take home the flag!
-
“Giant blimps” is obviously the first thing that comes to mind when you read “reusable Apollo”. Just kidding, what a great video, you’ve outdone yourself again.
-
I don't usually post comments but this... This is legitimately better than some movies i've seen, the camera angles, the transitions, the music... (and obviously the mission in itself) You've, once again, beaten all our expectations
-
Fantastic work my friend! the fact blimps we're used to assemble them is so clever!
-
waiting for this at 2 in the morning 13 hours before it premieres PERFECTLY REASONABLE
-
Absolutely magnificent. This is the sort of madness that makes me adore KSP. Some people would ask "why would you do this?" and to them I would say "shut up and stop asking questions, this is brilliant kerbgineering at its finest."
-
This video is beautifully made man. The music, the camera angles, the rocket design, the concept. I am at awe for words. Truly remarkable. Thank you for sharing it!
-
That Vehicle Assembly Blimp is massive! I can just imagine the look on Werner Von Brauns' face when you suggest dusting off the Hindenburg designs...
-
Another brilliant video TD, your inventiveness never ceases to amaze. 👏
-
Wally Schirra mentioned recovering the stages during a coverage of one of the launches Maybe this might’ve been some crazy 60s engineer’s plan, who knows?
-
Can you imagine if you were in the 1960s and you had the vehicle moved into position only to realize you rotated it 180 degrees so the door on the capsule was on the complete other side from the tower?
-
Loved the way it loops perfectly at the end. Remarkable work!
-
Just totally completely incredible. And you successfully had me loop the video.
-
Next video : fully reusable N1 to Mars and back x) Serusly, amazing video. I think I'm going to loop it and pass it 3 or 4 time, just to be impress again (Sory for bad english, I'm a french fan of your work)
