No craft file provided, as the build is much slower than usual such that you can easily follow-along. I always encourage people to try and build stuff for themselves so that they can "enhance their own skil

Thinking quickly, Matt constructs a homemade moon rocket using only some string, a squirrel, and a moon rocket.

“Speed running the space race” I guess speed is a relative term

You covered entire program in 20 minutes? One russian streamer spent 8 hours on recreating just Alan Shepherd's suborbital flight...

Matt Lowne and Scott manly upload within 45 min of each. Very epic

Is this the perfect merge of Matt's KSP videos and "This week in history"?

Ha ha. Was literally building building a mercury Atlas. It does have mods though. Keep up the good work Matt

You forgot to keep the thruster pack on for Glenn's re-entry!

In addition to the # of orbits...John Glenn’s flight also did not jetison the retro-pack. They had a sensor indication of the heat shield coming loose and kept the retro pack on to hold it on for reentry.

Very impressive! It's "funny" that a/the continuous burn to orbit was the standard back then (Mercury/Gemini/Apollo) compared to what we do in KSP.
