[@MattLowne]

Enjoy! On Wednesday I'll be uploading a new Planet Coaster episode and then on Saturday we'll be heading back into space with KSP :)

[@botyaay1233]

Matt Lowne IM THE FIRST

[@botyaay1233]

NOTICE ME PLeasE

[@24karatcarrot62]

Hey why doesn't this show up in your videos

[@thediamondcatgaming651]

Matt Lowne Great job Matt! I love the design of the bace! Can’t wait for the next bace!

[@juliusreuner6107]

I have a question. This is not an advertis but there is a German KZbinr named Mr.Flagg and he build a really interesting "Rover", and hear comes my question. Would you like this? When yes, would you build this a lot more craiser and funnier, because you and him as the same amount of crazy funny style :)

[@Stand_By_For_Mind_Control]

If I saw that thing on a planet I was exploring I'd immediately write it off as an unusual geological formation... because NO ONE in the universe would be caught dead flying around in a giant shower head.

[@camerondon3712]

Who would be one to assume? In all of the infinite possibilities, there is logically at least one possibility wherein a type of spacecraft resembles a giant shower head. I defy you to disagree.

[@Admiral45-10]

As my first Mun's surface exploration mission (whoose I called to offically, to say), I fell in love about EVAs. It was super; making Munwalking, exploring the surface (on later missions I used rovers for that, and that was so cool), and, of course, looking up for Kerbin, or Kerbol. After missions, I always needed to take Kerbals back to Kerbin, so I decided to bulid surface base, to not have to worry about going back, in the best case, mining base, and I made it just yesterday! My first surface base, from which I'm very proud! Screenshots with it look super, and I feel like in the near future! That's for me surface bases. In my opinion, you couldn't choose better than buliding surface base. And one other proposicion; It looks like half skeleton of ball; typicall for big, vacuum , futuristical, scientic surface bases. This is, what it would be fine with it; 1. Grove it to whole of the canon, making halls looking like tubes. That's beatiful for future's lovers. 2. Add an other half and leave it in orbit. You will get super cool looking space station.

[@scaprod558]

Oh nice! I recently landed an SSTO on Minmus!

[@cassandranoorman7154]

But Matt you extravagant entrepreneur of space, where are the hydrophonics?

[@MattLowne]

Fear not! Did you see the service bay? Contained therein you will find your hydroponics

[@KSPAtlas]

They do not give phonics lessons to fish. Sorry!

[@fijimauiboy4079]

matt you are a genius. I haven't seen anyone do this on youtube before. I even searched up dres canyon base on youtube and no one had uploaded anything about a dres base

[@swarley2500]

Make a hanging base under the mun arch!

[@haroldinho9930]

TheSpeedCuber great!

[@Aerospace_Gaming]

Yes!

[@Shuroii]

@@manitoba-op4jx I like this SpaceX reference

[@hunterhatcher6874]

The only one that can physically pull that off is 2012 Scott manley

[@Fl0of_y]

@@hunterhatcher6874 he did it tho 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩

[@abl9643]

If dres exist, how do you explain the wind on the flag?

[@totallynoteverything1.]

HOLY SHIT DRES HAS AN ATMOSPHERE MATT SHOULD HAVE JUST DONE AN UNPOWERED LANDING

[@the125er6]

It has very little gravity so the gravity is lifting the flag up

[@koryhaydon6509]

The125er “gravity lifts” the true kerbal way

[@camerondon3712]

The fabric could have shifted while the flag was being planted. In an environment with little to no atmosphere, if the flag was shifted even slightly, it wouldn't stop waving because there is nothing to stop it.

[@sodaithink]

Solar winds

[@sjk25]

People doing awesome things in KSP and here I am. Struggling to land a pre-made ship on the mun i cri every tiem

[@aconsentil2054]

You’ll learn eventually. I remember, when I couldn’t even crash land on the Mun because I never hit it. Now I nuke-engine my way across the system. And yes, I often visit Dres. Dresteroids = Tons of Ore = Lots of Nukafuel for a small energy investment (and a bit of intercept planning). Dres exists for a reason. It is our gas station, and the outer planets lie beyond it. Gas stations may be boring and uninteresting, but we all use them IRL. Now show Dres some respect, and refuel your fuel tanks.

[@jidgeanimations6866]

Same here

[@scaprod558]

Acon Sentil I tried using parachutes there. I was dumb then. Now, I can land an SSTO on Minmus. I've evolved.

[@vic-20personalcomputer80]

Lance Stinson If anything goes beyond the mun for me, I use robotic rovers. Otherwise I only take Kerbals to Kerbin orbit or the Mun.

[@scaprod558]

Commander Shepard Nice. I like to test my might in SSTOs. The farthest I've gotten was Duna Escape due to a faulty aerobrake maneuver.

[@oshmanproductions173]

You are British..... and space....? Instant Sub!!!!

[@vasimations7840]

You should definitely turn this into a series, growing your canyon base

[@tylosenpai6920]

Nice ones, and i should have completed eve soon, and yes, no docking or refuelling

[@matt339zason4]

Hi! I'm new to this channel so I don't know which challenges were sent to you, but I have a challenge for you. Make the smallest rocket possible that can go to Duna.

[@henryiles2123]

I would love it if you made a kind of garage for a rover and kind of expanded the base over multiple episodes

[@JuicySalamander]

I love watching Matts videos, id just really like to see a career series where he does some of these when he has cash and science as a limitation.

[@faudanke4459]

Make a base surrounding the vallhenge Tweakscale is allowed

[@lewismassie]

If Stratzenblitz did bases, this is what he would build

[@NewTeam105]

Who needs bases when you have an electric powered football stadium-sized quadcopter orbital trebuchet lol

[@profmtrfkrz6917]

Need this!

[@ancient1der]

In a canyon or a hole if the system has an orifice, Matt will park his base in it.

[@__mk_km__]

7:42 -"Demonitization system is slowly improving." Haha what a joke

[@kaaskrozant4243]

Hi matt, thanks to your great vids i have really excelled in ksp thanks for all your awesome videos, i just landed my first ship on duna(i knoe probably not the best thing) but i just think your videos are great and thanks for all the tips

[@leopichler]

I'm gonna eat through this video in only one stage. *Asparagus.* That pun was *Blasted* off with gusto! Sorry for the puns, and another awesome video matt!

[@iemandjwzz4614]

Please show yourself out :d

[@thunderbolt294]

They faked the Dres landing on a sound stage on Jool.

[@timmowers435]

matt took the bluepill on this one

[@christiandsouza7623]

I have been playing KSP for 2 years now and a genuinely didn't know Dres was a thing until now

[@awhahoo]

That looks aerodynamic and fun to fly

[@chorosso5259]

No joke, i literally never knew Dres existed for a long time, not trying to make a meme. When i then saw it in a video of KSP i thought the video was modded or something so i went into KSP and was incredibly surprised.

[@tbg8365]

Pshhhh auto strut, I think you mean the kraken?

[@triton6490]

Lol

[@phoenix0166]

I always use autostrut and never had any kraken problems so idk what all the fuss is about

[@aWildLupi]

The problem largely comes from heaviest part autostrut and root part autostrut, where the autostruts are from something to somethign else far away. Floating point errors add up and the thing starts torquing itself. i.imgur.com/qDVJNNN.png For example, the landing gear on the lander at the very end of that nuclear ship were strutting originally to the large payload bay on the shuttle i'd docked originally on the side docking adapter (Landing gear are locked to heaviest part autostrut). To prevent the station from shaking itself to pieces while i did final outfitting of the nuclear ships, I had to move the fairing-nose shuttle to the side adapter, and the shuttle-cockpit shuttle up to the top adapter. That way, the floating point inaccuracies from a long distance autostrut were less so, and imparted less torque.

[@krblus9565]

wow

[@amazingspacemango144]

Basically Dres is like the KSP version of Australia

[@24karatcarrot62]

That base looks awesome

[@eekee6034]

That is a beautiful base. I love the arches with all the little windows like pearls. :) Bizarrely, it seems I haven't liked my favourite Matt Lowne videos, including this one. I suppose I watched them several times before I decided I want to be signed in to KZbin, and never watched them since. Except I'm sure I have watched them since. Perhaps I was too engrossed in the video to click Like. You know, despite having watched this several times before, I still feel like this is the first time I've ever heard the Dres Canyon called Memory Lane! XD I'm being silly. It probably just didn't tickle me that way before. Geological features can bring back good memories to those who have visited them, so I'm not sure what I'm laughing about really.

[@gigamut11b86]

Sweet...great video...some of the sped up looking around got my eye balls ta spinning too...lol Keep up the great work...really enjoying both the KSP & Planet Coaster videos. Hope you are having a great weekend & be safe :)

[@jesselindsey9760]

You get to do all sorts of fun things on Dres! Like.... l-like, uh... you can land on it.

[@alexlandherr]

This makes me think of the fictional “Canyonero” car brand from The Simpsons.

[@munchkinking4121]

Matt, you Herbert Daring Dashwood of a man, why don't you do a career mode gameplay with limitations, like having to fully reuse things, only probes, or any other limitations? I thought it would be the peak of any divine, daring deity in Kerbal Space Program.

[@jackryan2612]

But he doesn't have a stalwart ghoul manservant Argyle (as far as I know)

[@Geewhombee]

I watch a bunch of your video's but this one gets a like for the song.

[@giorgiomatessi976]

I totally remembered the old dres video!

[@CupcakesLanders]

Man, I gotta start building bigger! Great job on getting that thing on the surface BTW! :D

[@stark1987]

my greatest accomplishment in the years ive played on and off has been a stranded kerbal on duna, and some satellites around places like eve and ike

[@friesingcold]

Yes I agree this is a very artistic video. Pls like this

[@pizzaking1618]

Matt Lowne stopped me doing a certain chore The videos are too amazing..

[@likquid2236]

Make a station in the Dres-Teroid Belt!

[@hulloits4421]

when talking about wierd geological features, he forgot that duna has a really pointy north pole

[@12345DJay]

damn your sub count exploded like crazy Matt. keep it up

[@wxb200]

To Past Matt: Pistons attached to the Landing Struts. For use by Future Matt.

[@neptune6852]

I didn't realize until recently that Dres is supposed to be the in game version on Ceres.

[@joelsgp]

Thought it said 'Dres Cannon Base', was mildly disappointed. Still the usual great video though.

[@styxzb3388]

Joel McBride it is

[@TheRojo387]

English can be like that.

[@XiahouDun1225]

Uwaa! You should call that canyon base area "Memory Lane".

[@kades8553]

Koums activated, signal acquired.

[@Rose_Nebula]

Good morning from America

[@elerimurray6170]

I've played 700 hours of this game and never been to Dres.

[@randomstuff-cu4of]

i see at the very start there are 4 flea boosters are those really neccisairy with such a big craft they probably only add like 40m/s delta-v

[@samwansitdabet6630]

Delta V is not the only thing that is important. On a normal rocket, you burn ~500 m/s just by ascending to 2 km. However, you don't need to worry about that at all when you can't lift the rocket at all. They are probably there just to provide extra TWR. tl;dr They're there for TWR

[@alexsiemers7898]

Maybe you could build a bridge across the canyon (using the welding mod for performance sake)

[@grahamkyhl8061]

Almost at 100k, Matt!

[@diamondjub2318]

You should create a ship that can travel to all of the bases in one launch from kerbin...

[@l3n2ox67]

My First interplanetary mission was to Dres!

[@miko8732]

Most are to Duna lol, good on you though.

[@alwinstock8795]

Impossible

[@mankymeson2093]

Suggestion to anyone who reads this: Build a space station on an asteroid around Dres.

[@CelestialityRW]

3:01 nuclear corndogs lol

[@bottz2]

You should maybe up the ambient light boost in the settings so it's easier to see on youtube.

[@Bean-plays]

when in doubt, add MOAR BOOSTERS

[@CR47Ycam]

so nearly a perfect korolev cross

[@theasparagus1769]

Yes that would be cool!!

[@miguelviola7264]

Yay Dres awareness!

[@scaprod558]

Miguel Viola yay!

[@brycecohoon]

Was trying to listen to what you were saying about Dres, but I was too busy breaking my neck =P

[@blackstone1a]

I really want to send a mission to Dres because no one ever goes to it, only problem is I can't go interplanetary, maybe if I use some sort of Nuclear tug with a separate lander

[@HectorialInfection]

oh yes m8 gotta have lots of dem *R T G s*

[@cjsully4088]

Yay back to dres

[@Tuulos]

Happy accident just sounds like Bob Ross to me.

Bob Ross said happy little accidents so you're probably ok

[@reyrey2971]

MAKE IT BIGGER

[@boredom6373]

GO TO THE STAR!!

[@red_five3325]

Hey, @Matt Lowne, can you please give me the geographical coordinates for the canyon (or at least your landing spot)? I plan to put a small single-launch base there for my second Dres fleet. You picked a good spot to land, by the way. Relatively flat terrain, and it should have enough space to put a landing pod/rover in there (assuming I punched in the coordinates in MechJeb correctly). I've already got the vehicles and base taken care of, but I just need the "where." Also, what is the ore concentration in that area?

[@red_five3325]

If, for any reason, you recommend I do NOT go inside the canyons (e.g. no chance of exit, ore concentration below 3%, far too hazardous for rovers/landers/crewmembers, frequent Kraken hangout), at least give me the coordinates so I can put a "DO NOT VENTURE HERE" waypoint - like I did the Mohole.

[@singularitas4163]

dres is comfirmed not boring

[@tusk9687]

yesterday,on my save file,kerbin caught an asteroid..not a stable orbit,but its cool. :]

[@hi-ws8gd]

I don't want to ruin it for you but Kerbin catches Asteroids quite often.

[@ayaffnoneyme6093]

please can we have more story time with matt (:

Can you please make a spaceport on duna with a few landing pads?

[@amym8571]

Your a ksp god I can not even make it into orbit

[@cramperist]

Do a jump with a rover over the canyon like in armageddon!

Great video I’ve just got map and when I press the space bar on big rockets on sandbox mode they won’t launch and they just make a tick noise plz tell me why

[@u_got_sarged1006]

Recreated this on Xbox, took about 20 minutes to get into orbit due to the frame rate

[@lightningwingdragon973]

Klaang has come from space engineers to ksp. Muahahaha!

No, its the other way around! KSP Kraken transformed into an SE Clang

[@phobospotato]

# DRES IS A PLANET! it even has a "ring" system

[@renzo00]

Doesn't even share an orbit with another body/planet so Dres really is a planet

[@SirTastier]

Yo, Matt is the best. I luv ur vids! :3

[@l00narcy]

Matt why did you take down your PC build video?

[@MattLowne]

Idk. Just kinda didn't like giving the impression I was "flaunting my wealth" or anything (which is something a lot of people took away from that video) and didn't want to seem like I was bragging about having a powerful computer. Plus a lot of the comments devolved into AMD vs Intel and AMD/Ati vs Nvidia flame wars and in the end I made the decision to cut it off at the source. Now that my PC is somewhat outdated I might remake it but I probably won't.

[@l00narcy]

Oh well. I'm not going to challenge your decision but I would've wanted to see it! Especially if you talk about your PC upgrade from the old Dres Canyon 720p Rover to this PC which is far better. People saying that you are "flaunting your wealth" are dumb because there are way richer people out there.

[@MattLowne]

My specs are i7 5820k and 980 Ti, with 32GB of RAM. Those are the specs that matter when it comes to video-making :)

[@Aereto]

Matt Lowne Those specs are pretty respectable, though we seem to share that same 32GB RAM capacity. While considered overkill for gaming, I actually use that capacity [8GBx4] in preparations for more... memory intensive things.

[@MattLowne]

I frequently use all 32GB for rendering and photo/video editing. I thought about upgrading to 64gb but the returns are diminishing and the price of components is ludicrous right now thanks to crypto-mining

[@KnedlikMCPE]

5:34 Im only one who noticed the periapsis is higher than apoapsis?

[@alexsiemers7898]

Since it's an escape trajectory, the apoapsis is negative.

[@alspezial2747]

@@alexsiemers7898 does it tell the edge of the sphere of influence in this case?

[@alexsiemers7898]

AL spezial no, it assumes the SOI is infinite, meaning the apoapsis would be past infinity (making it a guarantee escape trajectory)
