[@judet2992]

I remember that old vid. It got me HOOKED on KSP. Which I didn't play for like 5 years because I was too afraid of killing Jeb. I got back in after the new part models were added as well as the DLCs. I had a blast. I was such a noob that my first satellite had three of every experiment (in sandbox) and it even had seismometers. Then I orbited Jeb. And now I just finished my first space station and docked for the first time using the patented Lowne Lazy Method. Thank you so much for this journey so far, and to more when I get a beefy computer to play KSP2. UPDATE: It now has an extra crew module. The docking was...eventful, to say the least. It was the middle of night. My monopropellant, fuel, and electricity were low and the station and module I sent up were unkrewed. The probe core I chose had no target-facing capabilities, and when I switched to the station I realized I couldn't see the crew module. So I had to quickly switch back and turn on the lights. Not to mention the fact that before that I had overshot the station twice and the second time I almost hit it. I am so grateful that I put static solar panels on both craft, otherwise I would had broken something. So it was a fiasco but it worked! Next mission is going to be sending up some crew with a Mark 1-3 capsule so that I can send an engineer and a scientist and have Vall take them there and then deorbit.

[@snekk_yt]

God I miss Matt's KSP2 Vids. The graphics were so amazing and this game really had potential. I do hope someone takes over development soon

[@TheHutchy01]

One of my favourite XKCD What If? questions was about swimming on the moon, and in short, it wouldn't be that infeasible (y'know astronauts need water anyway and adding filtration wouldn't be too hard) and a person might be able to run on the surface of the water and could breach like a dolphin which would be bloody cool.

[@wolfpac42]

Go XKCD!

[@adora_was_taken]

Hey if you're wondering, that weirdness at 10:55 was probably because you used medium wings. For some reason those and medium stabilizers have inverted pitch controls atm (even in patch 2) so you may want to use small ones and scale them up.

[@jimlthor]

Gonna give it probably a year before I buy it. Loved KSP1 when it launched and we depended on mods like the mining mods and the communications mods. I think a lot of people weren't around during the first couple of years of KSP1's life and forget that the game was just an incomplete (but fun) sandbox. When they finally release Science or Career modes, or some modders get some cool mods going, I'll for sure buy it

[@CSpottsGaming]

I know this is very far from the point but I think the thrust/exhaust in KSP2 is *stunning*. I love that the shape of the exhaust changes with altitude, from producing shock diamonds at the surface to being visibly underexpanded in a vacuum. Such a small detail that many people probably won't notice/understand but it really shows that KSP is a game made by people who love the subject.

[@Darisiabgal7573]

Control "orthogonalization" occurs in KSP2 when you separate two units of control, such as when you launched your station hub. It also happens when you load patch one craft into patch 2. There are a myriad of problems on multicontrol spacecraft including one were small controllers like HECS and L01 try to fly violently out of the spacecraft when it crosses altitude 21350, even if you are traveling at hideously low speeds. The best solution i have found is when you notice "orthogonalization" is to turn off SAS, save the game, exit KSP2, reload the game, and cycle through the controllers. The reddit is "Warning: Using SAS . . . ."

[@TerribleUsernameAmirite]

I speculate that the control surface issue was related to the center of mass and center of lift thing. Sometimes halfway through a flight and the fuel is half empty, the center of mass gradually shifts behind the center of lift, and the control surfaces get all confused

[@pjludda4323]

OH MY! This video is LITERALLY DECADES in the making.... Literally.

[@Darisiabgal7573]

You have to save game, quit Ksp2, reload game and recontrol the craft to get commnet back in separated craft. Try this though. Before you separate, put control of station on craft to be separated, separate from the decoupler or port on the leaving ship side, this sometimes preserves the crafts commnet connection.

[@TonyPlaysGames-z9b]

0:35 - 0:41 nah you did AWSOME super accurate on the shuttle i dont care what those haters say 10⭐🌟

[@strive908]

0:56 god damn thats a smooth transition

[@Ben_Kimber]

The controls of that space shuttle being inverted and causing you to crash reminds me a lot of the old Airhogs RC plane I used to have. Its controls were set up that way, where pushing the stick forward meant pitching up, and I was young enough to not see anything wrong with it. Then I gave the controller to my dad, who had a pilot’s license at the time, to try it out. It started to pitch down, so he pulled back on the stick to pull up, and instead it went straight down into the ground, and I still remember the sight of him desperately pulling back on the stick to pull out of that dive, not knowing that he was the cause of said dive.

[@anoniemw.222]

Space station design had, for me, one big improvement. Because it is possible to build multible crafts in one worspace, I often build the entire station and than do ctr-c and ctr-v and devide it over multiple rockeds

[@TheKarlHungus]

They should make the parts manager open when you shift+right-click, and open the individual part menu when you right-click. Just my 2 cents.

[@dark6.63E-34]

The orange color of the tank isnt cosmetic. It's the color of the isolation foam that they stopped painting white because the paint wouldnt stay in place during ascent.

[@steverandle4700]

Also the paint added weight.

[@dark6.63E-34]

@@steverandle4700 Weight wasnt a motivator which is why STS1 and STS2 used full shuttle paint. STS3 only kept the central tank without it because of the mentioned issue with adhesion. The 200kg weight reduction is a positive side product.

[@THeBoZZHoGG]

So for the saves, at least in patch 1 not sure about patch 2 yet(they might have fixed this) Once you see the save files going above roughly 25MB (they will blow up to gigabyte range) you can open the save in notepad++ and search for "ObjectEvents" highlight that and right click menu "begin select" and then scroll all the way to the end of the file, right click menu "end select" and delete. This is(was?) a known bug where the files would grow out of control which is why campaigns would get squirrely.

[@TheRojo387]

You should remember to connect ALL the stages together with struts, if you really want stability.

[@Bruhman_16]

Wait why are my stages not separating

[@Froke415]

That was a smooth way of introducing the sponser

[@barrywilkinson8470]

Weird to say an ad was good but that segway man that was smooth

[@dylanwatts9344]

For space planes and gliders, like the shuttle, you want to aim a little short of the space center. As you enter the atmosphere you bleed off speed by using lift, extending the projected landing point further than where you initially point it. That's why you massively overshot the KSC, Matt, you aimed to overshoot it in the first place.

[@leoshork]

Matt, you used the engines wrong on the third mission, that's the reason why they didn't fire up! It's not a glitch! At 25:06 you enabled them, which effectively links them to the throttle controls. In fact, you tested that shortly after and they did work. But at 25:07 you disabled them! The throttle controls "unlink" from disabled engines, making the controls useless. I suspect that's what happened with the second launch as well, the engines were disabled since undocking kinda messes up the staging. What you were supposed to do was enabling the engines with throttle = 0, and then throttle up when necessary. I hope you see this! I was really confused by your commentary since I saw you clicking the disable button. Other than that, awesome video! I really enjoy these simpler, yet really well executed missions. Definitely gonna use this video to remind myself how to dock.

[@circuitgamer7759]

I think you should never terminate debris from the tracking station, so sometime in the future you'll have to make a space junk cleanup mission :)

Interesting thing, the Orbital Maneuvering System engines on the Space Shuttle (the ones used for circularizing the orbit) were bipropellant AJ-10 engines rather than monopropellant engines. They did burn UDMH and nitrogen tetraoxide, so you can't do a recreation of the Space Shuttle in KSP even if you wanted to.

Now that is how to intro a sponsor, that was hilariously done while being done well, and it’s a Trek spot for a pretty good mobile game too.

However, it is still a very fun semi idle semi active exploration, combat and strategy narrative, and I highly recommend it to fans of those kinds of things. Be careful mining idle though lol.
