Man, watching this again after a year and a half really gives scale on the rapid progress SpaceX gives us. It feels like we've at least known about the ship going back to the catch tower forever, let alone having it all built and now almost ready for 1st orbital launch!

[@Caspar_Stanley]

So Matt just made a crewed cargo Starship. He's truly the greatest innovator of our generation

[@lennysela2092]

Fun fact: If you go in 0.1 physics timewarp and jump with a kerbal, you can see in the f3 menu, that the kerbal experiences 9 Gees for about .1 seconds due to going from 0m/s to 2 m/s in less than a tenth of a second

Hey Matt, I found a good way to recreate the starship landing legs, is by using the hinge and putting short truss structures on the bottom and below that put the grip pads beneath them

[@dr.zareendodwad-khan3578]

I just felt like sharing this: I got a satellite into orbit and a small space station too. To some really advanced players, this might not seem like much, but to a player who got Kerbal Space Program yesterday, it is a big achievement.

[@NovaNyst]

Good job my man, KSP can be a bit rough getting into it but its cool that you did that so fast, I remember it took me weeks to get an orbit lol

[@somerandomdudeontheinterne6520]

Bruh i played for two years and havent yet managed to do more then one mission out of the kerbol system, and not to mention my phenomenal approximally 30 missions to mun and minmus, out of which, around 4 managed to return after landing So please tell me How do i obtain this power

[@somerandomdudeontheinterne6520]

@Aiden McCrillis Thanks, i appreciate the support! The problem though is usually not getting an encounter, but i either: A) overestimate the amount of fuel i need, therefore not having something to land on whilst simultaniously(i butchered that) not having enough fuel in the next stages to return; or B) i under estimate the amount of fuel i need, and i think we all see the problem there. And if a mission fales i try to save it but i lose motivation quite quickly.

My main problem when i started was my rocket wobbling lol

[@kittygiatanidon4980]

[@benjaminshort4169]

10:39 Matt predicts Super Heavy hot staging, confirmed.

[@TheObiareus]

The flap fin thingies can actually control all three dimensions of rotation. One side up the other side down controls roll, diagonal same vertical/horizontal different controls yaw, and then as you said top/bottom different controls pitch. It‘s a very elegant solution to atmospheric control and an incredible piece of engineering.

[@IGL_Alexander]

Dear Matt Lowne, I noticed that you were a bit disappointed that can't guide the super heavy booster and the second stage at the same time. Well if I am not mistaken there is indeed a mod called "Booster Guidance", you have to mess with some coordinates and then boom, you have a FULLY reusable starship. (Without needing to mess with quick saves lol)

[@Cleptro]

I'm loving the sponsorship segues in these Starship videos! They're exquisitely done :D EDIT: Actually, I did have an idea regarding the 'Hatch Obstructed' message when within a fairing, although I'm not 100% sure it would work. Perhaps, rather than placing it inside the fairing and clipping it out, if you were to place it outside the fairing (attached to the fairing base or an exposed fuel tank or whatever) and clipped it into the fairing? Assuming you allocate a space for it, it isn't _exactly_ abusing the offset tool...

[@radosbarner1734]

Having made a Starship-esque ship in ksp (stock but dlc included) I can safely say that the flight profile required to land the booster AND get the ship into orbit is a real pain. You need a lot of fuel and need to perfectly calculate (or just test) the amount of thrust needed to get the ship into stable orbit in time to land the booster on the other side of the ocean (parallel to the ksc).

[@kerbinkerman4401]

OMG YESSSS I HAVE SO BADDLY WANTED TO SEE YOU DO THIS MATT, 100% GOOD JOB, I LOVE IT!!!!!!

[@monkestupid879]

Your sponsor transition was spot on!

[@Cleptro]

I love that while StarShip is already designed as a "jack-of-all-trades," Matt takes it to the next level and eliminates the separate Starship designs in favour of one vehicle that can deploy cargo, carry passengers, and refuel other vehicles XD

[@Shortcircuit220]

2ND best sponsor plug I've heard. 1ST is when the Pro Bowlers Association said "Ball maintenance is incredibly important on the PBA tour and that's why we have partnered with Manscaped"

[@firefl3y355]

Even though you probably won’t see this, thought I might as well suggest, would it be easier when making crafts such as this to: make a quick save, land the booster, reload quick save, then fly to orbit. That way you wouldn’t need to waste your own time making another save and waiting for it to reload

[@nathans_codes]

Very nice KSC approach and Bellyflop Matt!

Nice Matt, Looks funky in a good way. When will you build a crew station with live commentary? Maybe a space station that uses a single rocket type to refuel, the station has a built in rover and stuff. A lander. Escape pods. It can be a new sires, maybe end it with an emergency, get a blunderbird mission.

[@jpthepug3126]

Star ship is doing more than just landing on mars

[@ІванБ-т9в]

For a real landing of a reusable first stage, I choose a special takeoff profile. As a result, at the moment of separation of the first stage, the apoapsis is located high enough to have time to complete the additional acceleration of the second stage to orbital speed after the landing of the first stage. In addition, I automate the exit to such a takeoff profile, the separation of stages and the landing of the first stage of the rocket in a suitable area due to the SmartParts mod.

Anyone who has played KSP and tried to land any rocket or pod in a specific location knows exactly how incredibly impossible it is to do what SpaceX is doing.
