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.
00:25Wow, look at that, okay, we're gonna go, let's go.
00:30This should be all the staging, whoa, whoa, whoa, right, so we have to lift off,
00:52oh, I'm starting to get out of control here, so far, not doing too hard.
01:02No, no, why are my guys smiling?
01:14Oh, here we go, here we go, this is, oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
01:19no,
01:23there we go.
01:30I think, we're still, we're still not, we're not high enough.
01:35We're on, we're in, in the right, we're in the right direction now, which is a lot better
01:41than before.
01:43So now I actually have to steer, because the rocket's bigger.
01:48We're not in the right spot, but we're almost there, we're almost there, let's see, we're
01:51getting there.
01:54Got it, got it.
02:00All right, there go my song stage, rockets.
02:09Oh, I think I have to hang in this now.
02:10You do have to steer.
02:18But I'm veering off course a little bit, it looks like.
02:34We're almost there, we're almost there.
02:38I still have a bit more fuel left over here.
02:42Let's see if I can get back on, on track.
02:56Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope.
03:09There we go, there we go, there we go.
03:11Better, better, better, better, better.
03:16Better.
03:29I'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.
03:36Because we could just cut off.
03:37There we go.
03:38Okay, we can start.
03:41Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
03:42No, no, no.
03:43No, no, no.
03:44Oh, no.
03:48Hold on, hold on, hold on, we can.
03:50This is a much more responsive engine.
03:55We've got to turn around.
03:56We've got to turn around.
04:00Oh, no.
04:05No, we're going the wrong way.
04:13Well, how is this going to play out?
04:18Can I, can I save it?
04:19Do you think I can save it?
04:32We're clearly just pointing the wrong direction, so I've got a yaw.
04:40There we go.
04:41Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay.
04:51Oh, I almost got it.
04:54Well, I think that we should go back to the launch pad.
05:05I think that we're going to go back to the launch pad.
05:09I think we're going to go ahead and deploy our parachute and bring our guys back to Earth.
05:15They're not on the moon.
05:16Oh, no.
05:19They're not on Mun.
05:21But at least they're going to get home okay, which is the important thing, right?
05:25I'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.
05:47We'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?
06:05Yeah, they look fine.
06:07See?
06:07Pretty good.
06:08All right.
06:08Awesome.
06:09Okay, let's bring this down here.
06:13And then let's go.
06:27Okay, so we're moving.
06:29That's good.
06:31Okay.
06:32No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
06:42Can I save this, do you think?
06:50No, I cannot.
06:51Okay.
06:52We'll revert again.
06:54And then we'll see, we'll see, we'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.
07:36Oh, I hit the wrong button.
07:42Okay.
07:47Okay.
07:48Hello, everybody.
07:50Ho!
07:58I have a good day.
08:01Hello, everybody.
08:03Hello, everybody.
08:04Hello, everybody.
08:04Hello, everybody.
08:05Hello, everybody.
08:06Hi, everybody.
08:07We're going to get a good day.
08:09Oh my.
08:45so i got to orbit with my rocket i did have the staging wrong but i was able to fix
08:51it in time
08:52which is good and now we're just on our way back to earth to curb to kerbin with our capsule
09:03with
09:04tim c kerbin tim we did it are you happy we don't want him to leave the the capsule
09:12coming back down to earth to kerbin and i'm gonna speed up a little bit until we get close
09:20but now i'm gonna get down to one we're gonna deploy our parachute
09:29and it fizzled
09:33all right i think that what happens is i have too much delta v and i think he blacks out
09:40i'm learning a lot though we'll figure it out one day
10:14so nice engines
10:18It's just a hot one, it's a hot one.
10:55Oh, my God.
11:33Well, we're going to land in the water.
11:56Oh, my parachutes!
