This is far and away the best trailer I've ever seen for KSP. The choice of music is great and the cinematography is really well done and manages to get across the sense of wonder that you get from space exploration while managing to have clips of when it all goes hilariously wrong somehow not spoil the mood.

This hits different now. RIP Jeb and all the other Kerbals. You survived all those test flights just to get taken out by corporate bullshit.

Congratulations in inspiring KSP 2 announcement trailer!

[@GrimmFilmEnt]

And it's in that moment after the consistent burn brought the retrograde marker straight on the white speck above the blue and the measured jumps between throttling up and powering down, eyes transfixed upon the navball and the ever shifting values of descending speed. Struts already in the deployed position, "keep it under 10 meters per second" running through your mind along with all the infinite possibilities of what could go wrong mere centimeters off the ground. But they don't. Struts shift the soft soil and settle in, tap the X, engines cold. And then, silence. But beneath the composed face of a man who left home behind, shoot himself on a "carefully" put together rocket across the endless divide and firmly placed his kerbal's feet on the soil of the unknown, the spirit of the explorer wakes up. And you smile. Fun as it may be to observe the glimmering spectacle of failed launches, botched up landings and "meticulously" constructed vessels turning into fuel-less debris on an infinite orbit around Kerbol, it is in those moments when the final part of the journey ends and another begins, with engines silent, crew reporting, EVA to follow, science to gain. That is where KSP shines brightest. This game captivates the mind, during and after playing, at work, at lunch, in bed before sleep, anywhere, everywhere. Endless configurations from first to last stage, the what's, the when's and the how's constantly straining mind. The why already know. This game should be mandatory for everyone child from grade 1 to grade 14. No other game tickles the imagination and inspires, but doesn't force, learning about our own world and beyond. This is how you inspire a generation to look beyond the known and towards making the unknown known.

I don't know much about this man, this once 9-year-old boy. I don't remember much about him, but one thing I can always look back on is this one comment. From a boy with hopes, dreams, and desires, and even though I'm only 14 now, I wish I could send a message through time, with one simple message: "You'll get there one day. It's going to take time and effort but you will get there." While time may have aged him, goddammit that comment hasn't, and to be honest it really, really made me cry reading it 5 years later. I still don't know, especially today where I'd be without KSP, but for now, I can't really say much. #BuildFlyDream
