Here's a challenge for you, Matt: make a ship which carries a kerbal for every moon and planet in the solar system. Your job is to use the ship to visit every single planet and moon and leave a flag on every single one of them and return to Kerbin after that. Good luck.

[@cornebeyers485]

Isn't this called the "grand tour"? I though he already did one of those.

[@dongledan17]

A video like this would be like 2 hours long

[@vaccinesguy]

@@cornebeyers485 he did one without carrying a bunch of kerbals and skipping Eve, tylo, and (I think) Moho. This would be a little different but much harder.

This is one of my favorite ship designs you've made Matt. Two launches, on-orbit assembly, sleek and realistic-ish looking (for KSP of course). I see some echoes of the Nautilus-X concept from a few years back. Looking forward to part two.

[@rs2excelsior]

"You have to be careful with the Kerbal EVA packs on Gilly, or you could send your kerbal on an escape trajectory." Challenge: Gilly mission where a Kerbal's EVA pack IS the ascent module (i.e. the kerbal uses it to get from Gilly's surface back to the interplanetary transfer stage)

[@KSPAtlas]

And descent module

[@HappyBeezerStudios]

Not enough delta-v to descend and ascend. But there is EVA suit fuel with the inventory system, so you could have a storage container with more.

[@GamingHelp]

This kind of playing around in low gravity is what makes me keep coming back to this game. :) Just for giggles, I went to the inner planet and turned on infinite fuel and orbited my kerbal with just his EVA pack. It was cool as heck.

[@Kyle-gw6qp]

You should try and smash a ship into the surface of eve as fast as possible

[@brokenshard9323]

Just recently started playing this thanks to you Finally got my first space plane into space today where it was immediately body slammed by my only orbiting satellite destroying both

[@brokenshard9323]

It was in a low orbit it just happened to be over the space centre as the plane crossed over its flight path I probably should have checked it's position before launching and waited for it to pass over first

[@Stratocasterhead51]

The probability of this happening is absolutely ridiculously low.... sorry about that bro

[@brokenshard9323]

@@Stratocasterhead51 on the plus side it was an unmanned flight

[@lieutenantsupascoop2126]

Shadow Heart man that’s super unlucky xD

[@Hoff_0313]

Should of clipped it. The probability that everything aligned perfectly for a less than 0.1km encounter is so astronomically improbable... I’m hard pressed to believe this actually happened. If it did... damn bro! Check the map prior to launch while on t launch pad 😂. If it didn’t happen... great story

[@IneptOrange]

If you pause at the right time around 19:10, something can be seen flying past the bottom right side of the screen. Is that just the Rhino stage, or has Matt filled his Kerbin orbit with so many probes that he nearly Kessler'd himself on screen?

What do you think about something which is absolutely the contrary of what you usually do ? A Multi Launch Mun / Duna Station - as realistic as possible with KSP Stock Parts. No huge SSTOs, no weird locking stacked Rockets. Its going to be hard i guess but i would love to see that from you once.

[@skyearthocean5815]

Very complex and elegant ship, looking forward to seeing the rest of the mission next week!

1:50 Mat Lowne is a good person. no other KZbinrs do this.

[@henryfleischer404]

I recently did my first orbital spacecraft assembly. Due to a lack of foresight, I had to send it to minmus instead of duna, as I had put too large a payload on it.

I've made a cute little Gilly Hopper with 2x RCS quads with thrust set very low, and instead of landing legs I use the small hinges and a few of the tiny cube frames. The stock landing legs bounce too much even with weak springs and dampers!

[@MetaJokeTT]

The final ship is very pretty.

[@hog660]

I just realised that if you make a robotic arm with the actuators and rams and stick a grabber on it, your mining vessel can grab onto any other vessel and refuel it.

you need to: use qucksaves never surrender try hard work

[@Hoff_0313]

Keep trying mate, don’t give up, push technology and yourself. If you need better tech do flybys of Eve and Duna if you can. Minmus much easier than Mun. Practice landing on Minmus first.

[@Aquacies]

We were all there once, just keep trying

[@ITR933]

I actually landed on the mun before minmus But dude, lots of quick saves is the answer Dont burn all of your fuel, suicide burns are more efficient

[@carteradams43]

try mechjeb. it helps me with more efficient takeoffs and better mun transfers. aside from those two things, its easy enough to do once you get the hang of it

[@n1ght0wltechno14]

yesterday i returned from duna with starship wannabe version, on my way back i was left with 600 delta v, with this i managed to get into kerbin 85km orbit and land with help of some parachutes and engines, he called me a cheater that this is unposible... well thing is i learned to aeorbrake from Matt Lowne, and everything is posible :D D

[@HowlerBikeVlogs]

kewl beans, having played this game years ago, i think pre 1.0 era, i've recently picked it back up after seeing ksp2 reveal trailers and the 1.8 update, so much has changed that my head is still spinning but the career mode is amazing to play, been chucking about 12 hours into it over the last 2 weekends, which is more than double what i usually spend gaming.

Hey Matt Lowne just have to say i love your videos i watch when a new come up, would be fun if you did a video how to build a stable rocket and how to make it stay in orbit and not falling down when it's in warp mode. agien thansk for your awsome ksp videos keep them up i rally love them ! mvh Hugo

[@BoudieBatsnikov]

dude, you make some awesome looking ships!

[@sergegordeev9426]

My first landing on Gilly: I brought a small probe with a terrier, expecting gravity to be slightly lower than on Minmus. The probe also had RCS. I had to use the terrier at very low power. Then, I decided to do an experiment (after finishing the mission). The probe escaped Gilly with only RCS thrusters.

[@cannon_1239]

I just imagine him playing off and doing something like this and when he's done just "That was Completely unnecessary but cool!"

[@SyntheticSeries]

Why does the sas keep targeted at the other docking port? Whenever I do that the ship reverts to stability when I switch back to the docking ship.

[@wyldcat9396]

It keeps auto SAS if you have a probe with connection or a pilot Kerbal. It only goes back to stability assist when you switch back

[@SyntheticSeries]

@@wyldcat9396 but how do you dock without switching back

[@wyldcat9396]

@Elemental King If you switch to one ship, activate auto SAS by targeting the docking port, switch to the other ship and do the same thing and slowly bring them together without switching back to the first one

[@jplattso]

Yes! I've been wating all week! 1h isnt a problem Matt! But if it gives you more time to do the next weeks video it is fine!

[@sovpenguin289]

TGPO GD yeah, how do people constantly find me

[@mirjamberendsenlems]

Perfect rocket Matt! Now I can put 1 Kerbal inside the Eve lander, and take another one from the surface, you can fly back and forth with the ship, and actually save all of your Kerbals from the surface of Eve. Also, I wanted to make this, but the rover can't get out of there. How do you get the rover to work on Eve?

[@ftwgaming0]

I made a horrendously overpowered rocked once. It was only one stage, so I used the l.e.s and wanted to see how far it went before running out of fuel... It got to an orbit of somewhere between 80-120km periapsis and 350-500km apoapsis. An accident flies better than me.

not too sure about Stock Visual Enhancements, but Astronomers Visual Pack is updated to 1.8 now, and it doesnt have that pixelated cloud thing.I personally prefer AVP to SVE, due to the colors, but thats just my opinion. I'm sure SVE will update soon if thats your preference

[@danielfalco407]

Also have you tried Realplume? It makes the rocket exhaust look better and has it expand the further up in the atmosphere you go. i can't go back to the old ones now xD

[@jamesjoyce3975]

Asymmetric SRB in real world helps push the rocket into its gravity turn. This helps increase the efficiency Thank you and I Love your videos

[@arkraider3614]

Hey guys, just wondering how you can change crafts like Matt does without having to go into the map, selecting the craft and changing to it, is there an easier way? Please let me know

[@rca168]

Can you use Real Plume to get the nice realistic exhaust plumes?

[@finnyjam8252]

I love orbital construction! It just sucks that most KSP KZbinrs make their systems single launch, even their space stations.

[@redpug5042]

try doing more videos where you use a single launch rocket, rather than making a new one for each payload. It's more fun when you have size and weight contraints.

[@xiloscient3335]

Has nobody noticed that pink square that follows the ships and kerbals everywhere?

Hey Matt, I have a suggestion I think you should try spaceflight simulator it's a 2 dimensional rocket building game kind of like ksp there is a pro witch is bought from the game it's self it includes bigger engines and parts I hope you could try it btw it's only on mobile
