Bonus Video: Mission to the Moon
Added 2015-06-25 10:19:14 +0000 UTCHi Patrons! Usually we do not share our commercial work but this one is sciency enough that it might be interesting for you. The video is for the Part Time Scientists, one of the most promising contenders for wining the Google Lunar X Price. In a nutshell, the first one to get a rover to the moon will win $20 Million. Audi commissioned us to make two videos about their mission and this is the first one. Hope you like it!

2016-07-24 11:12:43 +0000 UTCI love your videos and I will donate 50$ when I have the money. I really want the duck photo and your wallpapers!
2015-08-07 02:55:44 +0000 UTCImpressive.

2015-06-27 01:42:49 +0000 UTCyes, indeed. In fact there are many, many ways to simulate this mission with mods of all sorts. But I guess I was calling for more knowledgeable KSP players to get working on it. I myself am not much of a modder, hehe.

2015-06-25 23:52:28 +0000 UTC@Arturo Gutierrez Does KSP have an "Earth/Moon" mod so that you could play with things like this on realisitic-sized objects? Being that Planet Kerbal and it's two moons are much smaller, and all.. ;3

2015-06-25 22:30:18 +0000 UTCthis mission begs to be remade in Kerbal Space Program :D

2015-06-25 21:18:23 +0000 UTCNote: this comment was meant as a comment on Patrick w gilmores comment, but for some reason that didn't work yeah, the animation might not be entirely reliable, especially in the part where it spirals down to the surface, and I'm no rocket scientist (most of the orbital mechanics I know about are from KSP :p), but doing that would be extremely stupid because in order to get a spiral shape like that you would be wasting a lot of rocket fuel. Kursgezagt probably was attempting to portray something else

2015-06-25 16:27:34 +0000 UTCThe landing orbit seems .. wrong. I realize my intuition is unreliable (at best) when dealing with orbital mechanics, but I still have some questions. For instance, on the last shot of the service module coming in for a landing, it appears to be making a spiral above the surface (2:31). Is that the actual path it takes? Also, 1:51 seems a bit off as well. Does it really circle the moon not even once then plummet straight the surface?
