You hit the nail on the head by showing it to someone very young. Any concept worth teaching to absolutely anyone (which I think is your big goal here if I understood correctly) should be explainable at any level of complexity. I'm studying to become a teacher right now and the process of preparing information to be digested as best as possible is one of the most central skills I try to develop. You seem like you have some great teachers among you.

All the episodes are extremely cool, but this one made me emotional for real. This is where art and science meet to meld into education. I would never have known a tenth of space exploration that I know today if it weren't for KSP1 and this game will teach literal generations of humies about that. Keep doing this amazing labour of love you guys are doing with this. Doesn't matter if it comes out in 2030, get it right and it's like Vinita says: "This is THE most important work", educating our brothers and sisters, this is it.

KSP 1 is to me one of the reasons I decided to start a bachelors degree in aerospace engineering later this year. I sincerely hope that KSP 2 will be that same gateway and encouragement to go into that field for thousands of young people. It is just such an exciting field portrayed so well. Im really looking forward to KSP 2.

The perfect tutorial: Kerbal+Explosion=Learning

[@TheAzazzExperience]

I'm hoping you guys can add advanced programmables to this upcoming game. For example: you build a rocket and you test its flight to orbit and nail down some parameters that later you can add to a programmable launch sequence for unmanned or even manned launches if you desire, easing the amount of piloting for getting to orbit, with options for malfunctions in harder difficulties. Not every rocket is flown by a pilot. Also, Kerbalism (a mod) has some really great simulations of radiation belts and other hazards of space, making things more challenging but interesting. I want to see the options of added difficulty levels through layers of realism like this that can be toggled in a menu somewhere. Of course, the trade off meaning there's more science to be collected in hazardous regions.

[@marshalhoffman2590]

I really like the fact that the tutorial is optional to watch. They look beautifully animated and I'm sure most people would watch them anyway, but I think it's important to a lot of players, particularly those who played KSP 1 extensively, that they feel the same absolute freedom without the handholding if they choose to

[@OGPatriot03]

[@why110]

[@michaelladd4049]

Keep those updates coming, can't wait to see some game play.

[@CaptNSquared]

I'm actually really excited about what appears to be automatic launches at the end of the video. Usually I get board of Kerbal fairly quickly because every single mission starts with "enter orbit... again" and more complex larger missions "enter orbit and preform the same rendezvous X times" just to build your rocket. Sometimes it's even the exact same mission for boosters I'm really excited about colonies for the same reason. I like the idea of "you've proven you can do X and get to X reliably, now you can start there". It removes redundant gameplay and lets you keep exploring new things. And even if the game itself doesn't let you do that it would be easy to mod in.

It looks so good. And it is really a step up from KSP1. And the Turorials are so really cute. The Buf guy pushes up the hill and thumbs-up. the small one is on its way... got me in tears.

[@Magneticle]

So, the bit in the end chapter. We're going to see an entire launch to somewhere, aren't we, possibly acting a bit like a marker on how close we are to the release (or at least the end of this series of videos) with either a touchdown or a catastrophic failure as the final part? Also, I'm extremely excited for those new wings and graphics! Although it's a space game, I always end up finding myself making more planes than rockets, with the rockets only really being there to get me science for more plane parts.

From what i have heard people saying, it might be having automated flights between a colony on mars, and the space center on earth (equivalents of course) When you create your base and fly there a few times, you can set up automatic frieght ships between the two locations, transporting goods or kerbals etc (bear in mind that ksp2 is focusing a lot on resource managment for colonies and stuff)
