00:00Stage, stage, so first stage, second stage, third stage, and six stages, actually, overall.
00:09See, there's a separation thing here, four engines on this one, we've got three
00:15engines, we've got a big engine underneath here, we've got eight engines on the
00:21bottom plus the two strap-ons.
00:24Wow, look at that, okay, we're gonna go, let's go.
00:30This should be all the staging, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:33So we have to lift off.
00:39Oh!
00:41Oh!
00:42Oh!
00:43Oh!
00:44Oh!
00:45Oh!

00:51Oh!
00:52Oh!
00:53Oh!
00:54Oh!
00:55I'm starting to get out of control here.
00:57So far, not doing too hard.
00:59Oh!
01:00No!
01:01No!
01:02No!
01:03No!

01:44No!
01:45No!
01:46No!
01:47No!
01:48No!
01:49We're almost there. We're almost there. Let's see if we're getting there.
01:54Got it. Got it.
02:00All right, there go my solid stage rockets.
02:09Oh, I think I have to hang on this now.
02:11You do have to steer.
02:12But I'm veering off course a little bit, it looks like.
02:34We're almost there. We're almost there.
02:38I still have more fuel left over here.
02:42Let's see if I can get back on track.
02:56Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope.
02:59There we go. There we go. There we go. Better, better, better, better.
03:16Better.
03:16I've got a bit of a shimmy, it looks like, here.
03:33But we're still on track. We're still. We're still good. We're still good.
03:35Because we can just cut off.
03:37There we go. Okay, we can start.
03:41Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. No, no, no.
03:43No, no, no.
03:44Oh, no.
03:48Hold on, hold on, hold on.
03:49We can...
03:50This is a much more responsive engine.
03:55We've got to turn around.
03:56We've got to turn around.
03:57Oh, no.
04:04No, we're going the wrong way.
04:12Well, how is this going to play out?
04:18Can I save it?
04:20Do you think I can save it?
04:20We're clearly just pointing the wrong direction, so I've got a yaw.
04:40There we go.
04:41Okay, okay, okay, okay.
04:42Okay.
04:43Oh, I almost got it.
04:53Well, I think that we should go back to the launch pad.
05:00That...
05:00Oh, no.
05:05All set.
05:07Well, we have boarded, and I think we're going to go ahead and deploy our parachute
05:11and bring our guys back to Earth.
05:15They're not on the moon.
05:17Oh, no.
05:19They're not on Mun.
05:21But at least they're going to get home okay, which is the important thing, right?
05:26I'm sure Tandorff's family would be helpful or agree with my decision there.
05:32Let's see them land.
05:38All the way down.
05:41We've got this last hundred feet to go.
05:58Touchdown.
05:58Well, any landing that you can walk away from, I think, is okay.
06:04You guys okay in there?
06:06Yeah, they look fine.
06:07See?
06:07Pretty good.
06:08All right.
06:09Awesome.
06:09Okay, let's bring this down here.
06:13And then let's go.
06:27Okay, so we're moving.
06:30That's good.
06:30Okay.
06:31Can I save this, do you think?
06:50No, I cannot.
06:51Okay.
06:52Well, we'll revert again.
06:53And then we'll see.
06:55We'll see if there's a tutorial about flying airplanes.
06:59How about that?
07:06So we're going to get going.
07:08And then let's just keep going faster.
07:10Maybe we're not going faster.
07:11Oh, I hit the wrong way.
07:39Okay.
07:40Okay.
07:41Okay.
07:42Okay.
07:42Oh, my God.
08:12Oh, my God.
08:42Okay, so I got to orbit with my rocket.
08:49I did have the staging wrong, but I was able to fix it in time, which is good.
08:55And now we're just on our way back to Earth, to Kerbin, with our capsule with Tim C. Kerbin.
09:04Tim, we did it.
09:06Are you happy?
09:07We don't want Tim to leave the capsule.
09:12But we're coming back down to Earth, to Kerbin.
09:16And I'm going to speed it up a little bit until we get closer.
09:20Now I'm going to get down to 1.
09:22We're going to deploy our parachute.
09:28And it fizzled.
09:33All right.
09:33I think that what happens is I have too much delta V, and I think it blacks out.
09:41I'm learning a lot, though.
09:42We'll figure it out one day.
09:43Just a half hour.
09:44Just a half hour.
09:56And we're running a little faster.
10:00So nice engines.
10:30So nice engines.
11:30Well, we're going to land in the water.
11:57Oh, my parachutes.
