Can You Go to Eeloo and Back Using Less Than Ten Parts?

Funny story about this video: The original plan was to use ten parts since that was a nice even number, but I removed a decoupler at some point when trying to attach the boosters, so it ended up being nine parts. If you guys like the video I might try a more involved jool mission with even fewer parts!

Very Impressive

Just use cheats😂

how this guy manages to simultaneously be so good and yet so bad at this game is beyond me

great video! what mods did you use for the timewarp?

twin boar is fuel tank and engine in one part

Using a Mammoth engine on a decoupler with a high-efficiency engine behind it is what I did for my fuel tanker. As I wasn't going for minimalism, I used a Poodle engine. (I didn't have the Wolfhound, nor 5m parts either.) The first time I launched it, the long tanker slowly keeled over on the launch pad! :D This was with a 3.5m decoupler! It was like yours but with much less bouncing and a slower initial tilt. I had no way of knowing autostrut existed at the time, so I had to add a load of struts to steady it. The tanker worked out really well, though it does tend to have burn times as long as nuclear ships. One day, I had 3 11-minute burns in a row: this huge tanker, a large nuclear ship, and a tiny ion probe, though the ion probe broke the combo by running out of electricity. :)

jeez man i have never seen so many spaghetti rockets than on your channel lololol its funny, love it.

Aerodynamics go brrrr

Im sorry but of all rockets there is why is this such an ugly rocket i always put thw same size

You should try using only décolleté to get to space

"That was a pretty cheap maneuver" it only cost half a millennia lmao. Good ol' Bob is about 500 years old now.

If he can get to eeloo and back with 9 parts, YOU can fly to the mun with less than 200.

I've never heard of eeloo

Gawd this is painful to watch. It's like someone playing Minecraft who is shocked to learn that skeletons drop arrows.

why didnt you just do a mun gravity assist to escape kerbin's SOI?

You take 9 parts to Eeloo, while I use the equivalant of an American fuel refinery to get to the Mun lol. Good Job.

this took 500 years

using the shock drop method I see for the boosters, very useful for minimalist challenges
only works for up to two boosters as far as I know though

I will be impressed if someone can make it to Eeloo and back with ONLY DECOUPLERS

Bro this guy using 5k delta v to go to 4 planets, while I'm using around 9k and failing to reach Duna ☠☠☠

If you ever want to offset multiple engines again you can view the "center of thrust" by clicking an icon in the lower left in the VAB. If its to the left or right of your center of mass your rocket will spin around! So just move them until they line up and presto you got a goofy rocket that works now

schon falsch

I cant take your voice

Amazing feat, but dude, take a breath when you're talking. It's like the entire video was one sentence.

Decouplers and Parachutes shouldnt count 😅
that way you could manage not just to get caught in orbit but also land that thing back on Kerbin and your Kerbal wont be stuck in his new Foreverbox

I only watched the title but ai think that the entire mission will have only:
1 capsule (obviously)
1 heat shield (you know it's used for
those hot reentry)
1 parachute (to slowdown and not kill
those space frog)
2 decoupler (to detach the stage obv)
2 engine (the most powerful one)
2 tanks (the biggest one)
And those are only 9 parts

Oke after watching maybe the shield and the parachute could be left behind and could snap those 2 solid booster too

This guy sounds like nilered on caffeine

Do you breathe through your ears or something ?

Nearly 500 years? By the time he made it home he was probably orbiting next to high schoolers on their space scooters....

Meanwhile I can pull a one way trip to the mun with 300 parts...

gj! Only took 500 years to do it ^_^

I’m pretty sure 3 parts is possible but nice

SRB's: FLY OFF
save name: A L O N E

The captions are so weird.averytime he says Jool the captions say juul lol

next video: going to andromeda and back using a potato powered rocket

use only rcs thrusters to get to duna

Tries to attach boosters with just static electricity.
Gets confused when they fall off.

Can you make a tutorial on gravity assists?

Kerbin space program: Parts might not atach...

use the command chair, honestly swapping it for the capsule would probably give you like 1500 delta v

Misson Success! Hooray You are not lost in the Ocean. Oh no

Start building a dison sphere. in future it could be used to recharge batteries.

your mission took only 487 years 😁

No, my Kerbal would run out of food and oxygen with that many parts

In the year 2500 AD:
Oh, you’re back!
