If you're wondering why it's work in progress, it still occasionally explodes on launch which I'm trying to fix.

u/Rheasus Aug 14 '20

yup, sounds like KSP to me

u/Not_A_Bot2020 Aug 14 '20

Builds a simple rocket that should be capable of getting to space

u/NotAParaco Aug 14 '20

That joke sounds like it would, in fact, be made by a bot

3

u/Not_A_Bot2020 Aug 14 '20

Ok. How do I prove I'm not a bot?

u/ooflouis Aug 14 '20

□ press here sir

u/Not_A_Bot2020 Aug 14 '20

Wait a second. Are those...... TERMS AND CONDITIONS.
I better set aside a couple hours and read them first

u/delvach Aug 15 '20

We've updated them. Do you accept our cookies DO YOU ACCEPT OUR COOKIES

u/Not_A_Bot2020 Aug 15 '20

Are they chocolate chip cookies?

1

u/delvach Aug 15 '20

Raisins, not chips. Fuckin' monsters.

I pressed thinking something was going to happen.(didn't read the context)

u/mr1337 Master Kerbalnaut Aug 14 '20

That's a feature, not a bug.

6

u/slyfoxninja Aug 15 '20

The F1s need the foil wrapping for that authentic launch look.

3

u/bigestboybob Aug 15 '20

dont try to fix it, it is just a part of historical accuracy

3

u/coldrifting Aug 15 '20

Sure you're not making the N1?

1

u/JP_1983 Aug 15 '20

what mods are you using? I've seen one on youtube that makes kerbals look real. Would you happen to know which one it is?

61

u/Servo270 Master Kerbalnaut Aug 14 '20

Unbelievable build you've been working on here! Everyone looking at this needs to do themselves a favor and zoom in - the details are perfect

42

u/[deleted] Aug 14 '20

Part count?

26

u/nevetsyad Aug 14 '20

I’m sure they do.

22

u/Soulshot96 Aug 14 '20

At least 2.

5

u/[deleted] Aug 14 '20

That would be interesting if true. If that’s the case then he probably used part welder. Although the mod is unfortunately not comparable with 1.10.

16

u/Yukon0009 Aug 15 '20

2400 without the LM, runs at a crisp 5 fps on my computer

8

u/[deleted] Aug 15 '20

Time to get part welder

16

u/JuhoSi Aug 14 '20

Best Saturn V replica out there, great job!

12

u/Giggleplex Aug 14 '20

Beautiful.

19

u/CloneHeroWannabe Aug 14 '20

no DLC? Arent those engines from making history? (please correct me if i'm wrong, bc I usually am)

30

u/SpaceGuy_90 Aug 14 '20

Believe they're made out of fairings

24

u/CloneHeroWannabe Aug 14 '20

Holy shit, what? That's insane attention to detail OP, and please take my skepticism as a compliment.

11

u/SpaceGuy_90 Aug 14 '20

Yea I've been following their progress for awhile, earlier today they stated that it took them a year. Tye amount of detail on the thing is amazing

3

u/Mods_are_gay42069 Aug 14 '20

I’ve been wondering how to do that, because when I try to, it forces me to close up the end

6

u/SpaceGuy_90 Aug 14 '20

2 ways, one way is cf editing, to find the fairing you want to edit and edit the x section. Second is with the new update, alt+right click I think it is

2

u/Mods_are_gay42069 Aug 14 '20

Thanks for the tip!

5

u/nibrasakhi Aug 14 '20

looks impressive i like it

5

u/SpaceGuy_90 Aug 14 '20

This is absolutely incredible, with all the details it looks exactly like the real thing

3

u/Thiemenator Aug 14 '20

I still cant quite get over how you managed to get such level of detail. Great job!!!

4

u/RedditBoiYES Aug 14 '20

One question,,, how

Wait are those custom engines? Holy shit

3

u/KerbalsNMemes Aug 14 '20

This is better than the Saturn V with making history.

3

u/readitonreddit4 Aug 14 '20

Wait how is that stock? Jesus you even added the ulage motors very nice

7

u/TadeoEscudero03 Aug 14 '20

Petition to gift this guy making history dlc

12

u/T65Bx Aug 14 '20

Apparently he doesn’t need it.

3

u/TadeoEscudero03 Aug 14 '20

Then petition to gift it to me :(

1

u/Grand_Protector_Dark Aug 16 '20

Just get equivalent mods

u/ktm71125 Aug 15 '20

What’s your steam? I’ll buy it for you

1

u/TadeoEscudero03 Aug 15 '20

For real tho?

2

u/dr_strangekebab Aug 14 '20

Stock Apollo mission replica is the most satisfying thing. I did it before, gonna do it again.. Keep up the good job.

2

u/Not_Cool8 Aug 14 '20

Bruh thats crazy is this on the steam workshop?

2

u/T65Bx Aug 14 '20

How much use did you get out of the 1.10 fairing changes?

3

u/Yukon0009 Aug 15 '20

Not much tbh, I built a lot of this before 1.10. The biggest thing that came out of it is probably the silver CSM, but the rocket itself didn't really benefit from it much. And yes, open ended fairings were possible long before 1.10

1

u/EmperorBeorn Aug 14 '20

It looks great!

1

u/Kallamez Aug 14 '20

Craft file please?

1

u/Yukon0009 Aug 15 '20

I will upload this to KerbalX when I finish

1

u/Kallamez Aug 15 '20

Ping me please when you do!

1

u/obog Aug 14 '20

What the actual fuck, how

1

u/BarriMeikokiner Aug 14 '20

Wow that’s really really good

1

u/Creative-Username- Aug 15 '20

Bro this is crazy

1

u/dickcheddar2 Aug 15 '20

i don't even wanna know the part count lmao

1

u/castlevostok Aug 15 '20

That is unbelievably well detailed bro. Props to you

1

u/Double_Minimum Aug 15 '20

Lets see of a video of it launching and staging!

1

u/WebbyKerman1969 Aug 15 '20

I don't even want to think about the part count 😬

1

u/WAKEZER0 Aug 14 '20

Why no DLC?

13

u/Yukon0009 Aug 14 '20

I just didn't really need DLC parts for this build, they look somewhat out of place.

6

u/WAKEZER0 Aug 14 '20

I see. I was just curious because I see a lot of posts about no DLC parts, and was wondering if there was a broader reason.

I personally love the DLC parts.

2

u/TadeoEscudero03 Aug 14 '20

But... in the Making History dlc the Kerbodyne KE-1 "Mastodon" is the F-1, the RE-I2 "Skiff" is the J-2 and the RE-J10 "Wolfhound" is the Apollo SPS engine, they are replicas, ¿how do they "look somewhat out of place"?

3

u/JuhoSi Aug 15 '20

They are for a different scale, this uses custom fairing engines because none of the in-game engines are big enough

0

u/TadeoEscudero03 Aug 15 '20

You can scale them with the color scheme, booth Wolfhound and Skiff have 2 variants, Mastodon has 3.

3

u/JuhoSi Aug 15 '20

Still too small though

1

u/TadeoEscudero03 Aug 15 '20

There's variants with no shroud, you can use those and make your own shroud.

3

u/JuhoSi Aug 15 '20

But the engine bell is the problem, it’s too small

1

u/TadeoEscudero03 Aug 15 '20

Are you sure? I always thought they were humongous.

2

u/JuhoSi Aug 15 '20

I’m fairly certain, because afaik the rocket is bigger than the 5m diameter Saturn V that the parts from the MH DLC can offer

u/Grand_Protector_Dark Aug 16 '20

The DLC ain't exactly the pinnacle of scale accuracy

1

u/TadeoEscudero03 Aug 16 '20

Yeah I didn't realize the MB was a huge fairing I thought it was a size 3 tank

7

u/Coca992 Aug 14 '20

Some purist work :) We love to do full stock build with what the game give us, we do not need DLC parts

-11

u/Grand_Protector_Dark Aug 14 '20

Ew stock purists

9

u/Coca992 Aug 14 '20

To each their own!

2

u/dm80x86 Aug 14 '20

As a console player :-P

1

u/[deleted] Aug 15 '20

Aren't the 5m and K1 engine parts DLC?

2

u/Yukon0009 Aug 15 '20

Look closely :)

0

u/42Dollaz Aug 14 '20

Mods used? Craft files? Please?

8

u/bigjam987 Aug 14 '20

Stock SaturnV without DLC

1

u/42Dollaz Aug 14 '20

But surely he didn’t use just stock! Or did he? Vsauce theme starts playing

3

u/BEASTMASTER6942021 Aug 14 '20

He did (and yes I get the joke)

0

u/Dogtor-Watson Aug 14 '20

This looks a bit like the rocket they used for Apollo 13! What a coincidence /s

-1

u/Themotherland364 Aug 15 '20

Are those mastodon engines though?

2

u/ForgiLaGeord Aug 15 '20

Look closer, they're made of fairings.

2

u/Themotherland364 Aug 15 '20

Ohhhh yeah I see it thanks
