FURTHEST Planet in KSP: Soden - 182x Further Than Jool! - Minor Planets Expansion

🚀 Yooo in this episode of Kerbol Komplete we are flying out to the furthest object in the Kerbol system added by the Minor Planets Expansion mod: Soden!! It's an analog to Sedna & it's 182 times farther than Jool - a whopping 16 billion kilometers away. We are using an Antimatter Fusion engine from the Far Future Technologies mod to burn straight there on a torch-ship trajectory on a 20 year mission. Without these futuristic technologies, a Hohmann transfer to Soden with stock parts would take over 5000 years! Check it out.

Persistent Thrust Mod on CKAN allows for long-period burns during non-physics timewarp.

Kerbal Engineer Readout Mod provides deltaV readouts and other information for craft with burn capabilities beyond what the in-game maneuver planner can handle (Stock game can only wrap its head around 4 days or something of burn time in planning maneuvers and a specific amount of burn seconds in calculating deltaV).

I like that you waited until Soden was at it's furthest point just to flex.

You flew this the way everyone assumes rockets work until they play KSP

Soden’s highly elliptical orbit implies the existence of a klanet 9!

@ftteee4006 1 year ago

your method to reach soden is much better than mine in which i left the game running on max timewarp for around a hour so i could rescue a stranded kerbal

@griffencake8072 1 year ago

I like that you give us a look at the IVAs of the ships. Not a lot of other channels do this. 👌

you forgot about the little moon! going all the way out there and miss the little moon? sacrilegeous

I really appreciate your ship/base tour segments in this series. It's one thing to cobble a bunch of crew modules together, but it adds so much to the human factor in getting a perspective into the living conditions of ship and colony crews on these exploration missions.

Make a base on this world! Let them stay for 1 year of the planet Soden! (1 Soden Year)

11:20 That clip is so poetic in many ways

First video i've seen of you man. And i have to say i really like it. Feels like a adventure movie, showing the inside of the ship was so good. Keep it up!

I have an intresting challenge for you.
The Cycle of Life:
Build a craft that must reach Soden
Once a set of crew is launched, they have a 10 year ingame timer.
The crew must return to Kerbin (and/or Laythe if its to hard)
If the kerbals land back on Kerbin (or Laythe) before the 10 year timer is up, their generation continues and they may be reused.
Everytime a new crew is launch, they will have their own 10 year countdown. Example, Jeb launches from Kerbin, 5 years later, Bob launches from kerbin. Jebs timer is at 5 years while bobs timer is at 0 years.
If a kerbal doesnt land back on Kerbin (or Laythe), they are considered dead and must be ejected into space or oofed, dead kerbals cannot be reused anymore.
At least one kerbal must touch Soden and return home.
Id love to see you attempt this challenge, all the best

nice video! also a fun fact is that at its most distant point it might just be called an black hole because you wont be able to see anything lol because by the time light reaches it, still doesnt change a thing lol
