The final episode of Mun Miner is edited and up on YouTube.

Last night I finished Part 8, the final part... it's a long video (right at two hours), but that's because it was trimmed down from ELEVEN hours of streaming footage. (Sadly, the middle part of it uses backup low-res recordings because the main recording was corrupted by a computer crash. But since almost all the exciting stuff happened in THAT, I couldn't just do the montage thing with it...)

That concludes the Mun Miner saga. Now a quick question: those of you actually interested in watching these, do you prefer to watch the edited-down versions, or would you rather watch the whole, unedited archive streams? Comments invited.

5281896 I already knew about it, for the most part. The most notable reminder I got from the video was that the vast majority of liquid-fueled rockets are either deliberately shut down or flame out with fuel still in the tanks. Unlike in Kerbal Space Program, in real life you can't throttle down a rocket below a certain point- the amount of fuel and oxidizer, expelled under pressure, required to sustain combustion in vacuum. Thus, when the system's ability to provide fuel and oxidizer drops below that point, the engine flames out and the stage becomes dead weight- even with a sizeable amount of fuel still in the tanks- because the system pressure is no longer sufficient to pump the fuel out at the minimum reaction level.
