How Chuck Yeager broke the Sound Barrier - The Complete Mission - KSP RSS/RO

Описание к видео How Chuck Yeager broke the Sound Barrier - The Complete Mission - KSP RSS/RO

Best watched with headphones🎧
76 years ago, October 14th 1947, Chuck Yeager embarked on his Bell XS-1 "Glamorous Glennis", carried by a B-29 at Muroc airforce base. While having two broken ribs, he, the USAF and NACA marked history with this milestone, crucial in developing technologies and knowledge both for planes and manned space exploration.

This video is a full recreation of the mission, as accurate as it could get, in the game Kerbal Space Program.
The whole mission was flown from the cockpit, but the video has some external views as well, some archives images and original crew conversations (from X-1A flight).
This was definitely a challenging and fun mission to do, as well as learning a lot about the outstanding research and systems from that time !

Thanks for watching !
