So professional as always, Brad! And somehow you manage to pull it off with a perfect balance of wit. I've noticed that KSP KZbinrs tend to be really cool in terms of not making sexist/racist jokes (maybe because we're flying little lima beans through space, but I like to have some faith). Bradley Whistance, Stratzenblitz75, and Scott Manley are my go-to examples on this. I love how this community is just too fascinated by science and engineering to get as caught up in trying to one-up the other person. I love how nobody tends to say 'well I could have done that'. Instead everyone celebrates the ingenuity of others, and that's what makes KSP such a wholesome community.
