10 Years Of Kerbal Space Program - On Final Approach

[@Mumbamumba]

I still remember how proud I was the first time I landed successfully on mun.

[@spencers4121]

I remember that, think I was more proud of docking in space without mods.

[@GeneralJackRipper]

1) First orbit. 2) First rendezvous. 3) First Mun landing. 4) First Kerbal Challenge. 5) Not killing Jeb. That's my top five.

The KSP series was what got me to subscribe. It was such a pleasure to see someone play the game with real knowledge of how it all works, and then playing with the realistic mods, and your ability to explain complicated math to plebs like me.

As well as crashing and exploding many rockets as we do.

[@TheRex42]

Amazing that KSP has held for so long! I started playing in 2013 and it inspired me to actually become an Aerospace engineer, 8 years later I'm half way though my bachelors.

[@Skyfox94]

I think KSPs concept will live on for quite a while longer if they don't mess up KSP 2 - the premise is really simple: Almost everybody likes rockets. It's easy to start playing around and hard to master but once you achieve something you actually feel proud of yourself. Everybody remembers their first Mun or Minmus landing.

Then there are all the rescue missions to recover said kerbals left in orbit of various different bodies in the kerbal galaxy. I must have sent 10 different missions into mun orbit trying and recover jeb when I tried to do an EVA for science points and got ripped free of the rocket... Kept missing the correct orbiting situation to meet up with his rather eccentric orbit.

That's great. You are an inspiration. Keep at it and best wishes.

[@you2be839]

I didn't need KSP to think about Aerospace Engineering, but the University in my country that had that degree was in a city that had nothing to do with Aerospace: no aerospace industry and even the local aerodrome seemed almost abandoned with not much going on there... so it was very easy for me to give up on the idea because the only relevant Aerospace Engineering I'd be doing would be on paper or on the lab! It's one thing to study Aerospace Engineering in a city like Toulouse, and it's a completely different thing to study Aerospace Engineering in a random city with no aerospace industry whatsoever... at least for me it is a completely different thing!!

It is amazing what has been achieved with this game in only 10 years. It literally carried us from the end of the space shuttle program to the advent of private spaceflight. And even now there is still so much that can be done with KSP. Heck, I have yet to land anywhere else beyond Duna. I did do a flyby of Jool. Will never lose that screenshot.

Before the update I couldn’t even make it to the mun but now with the maneuver update I could easily.

[@nia.d33]

You have educated more on rocket science and orbital mechanics than i ever expected to be when i first tryed to get my little green men into orbit and beyond. Thanks scott.

[@sujimayne]

KSP's orbital mechanics are extremely oversimplified and not useful or applicable for real-world scenarios. Thankfully the mod 'Principia' fixes most of that. Unfortunately, though, KSP 2 will stick to the same exact physics instead of actually implementing proper N-body simulation.

[@AstronautNate]

I remember you helping me about 9 or 10 years ago now, I asked you questions about Kerbal and you were more than willing to help me multiple times. Thank you Scott, for you are the reason I reached the Mun when I was 12! and now again at 22! I am happy to be re-entering this games atmosphere and cant wait to see what ksp2 has in store for us all!

I have played KSP since 0.24 first contract. Old pro now but back when I got it, it took me all day to get to 90 x 69 orbit where I was stranded until the orbit decayed. Took hours and I was up well past when I normally go to bed. The next day I learned to play properly by watching Scott Manley videos. The final update for this game is bittersweet. Thank you for teaching me how to play and thanks to HarvestR for making such an awesome game.

[@harcourtfentonmudd7980]

I arrived late at this party. I think I bought KSP around 2018, but I just took a peek at it, and left it in my library along with a bunch of other games. Then pandemic hits and I thought "now I'm taking this game serious", and oh boy, I couldn't believe what I was missing, and I still can't stop playing it.

[@ThatSockmonkey]

There's so much to do, it really is an incredible game.

[@chrisclark784]

After months of trying I'll never forget how excited I was after I found your youtube channel guides and finally hearing the click of two ships docking, and screaming "I did it!"

[@Skyfox94]

Before I found this channel i mainly built land-ships cause I couldn't built rockets - nor planes. Then one time while randomly hopping youtube channels I found a tutorial from Scott where he explained what the Center of mass, center of lift and center of thrust markers actually meant. From then on I was actually able to start playing. It took me another two or so years until I finally understood how to properly dock. Which I also have to thank Scott for.

[@samsonguy10k]

Felt good to figure out making orbit on my own, but Scott helped a lot with rendezvous.

[@anttihelin6820]

Figuring out rendez-vous is probably the most challenging thing in this game. I mean, it baffled real world rocket scientists and astronauts for some time!

You hit the nail on the head with the little green men comment. I will never forget the few days I was playing. I managed to get my doofus Rocket jammed with everything I could just to get it into space. Then while on a space walk, I accidentally let go and left Jeb floating in space. I couldn't reach him with my newb powers, so I ended up watching like 12 hours of how to play KSP videos to play the game. Two game years later I managed to do a rendezvous and pick him up. One of my favorite moments in gaming :D

[@n003lb]

I think I would have been in that demographic had I been born 20 years later. I always had an interest in aerospace, but unfortunately I grew up in the 80s and 90s when NASA was the only game in town and everyone knew that if you weren't both top-of-the-class and socially well connected, you wouldn't really have a chance at anything more then a low-level desk job if you were lucky. Today is such a different climate in the industry and KSP (and a few others) and folks like Scott have made young people realize that the science behind space travel is a lot more accessible than previous generations thought. It is an amazing time to be living in. My parents had the moon landing (a bit before my time). Hopefully, I'll be able to watch a Mars landing with my grandkids before my time is up.

It's crazy, 10 years ago is when I first heard of this game, I was 21 and working as an auto mechanic. I thought it was neat, I bought into the alpha right at the beginning, but couldn't really do anything or figure anything out and I set it aside. And then at some point like a couple years after first playing it I stumbled across your channel, specifically it your Interstellar Quest series. It was watching that series and then finding your other tutorials that taught me how to get to orbit, how orbits work, did my first dockings and landing on the Mun, and Minimus. And then really started getting into the modding scene and the more realism oriented mods for KSP, I haven't played purely stock KSP in the 6-7 years since. The game and your videos got me really interested in the engineering and science and the MATH (of all things) behind rockets and space travel and what it really takes and what we have the capacity to do. And all this eventually inspired me to restart my educational journey and go back to school. Now 10 years later, I'm in my 30's and I'm nearly done with a degree in aerospace engineering with a focus in astronautics, and am adding on a computer science degree. Just last semester I completed my Space Vehicle Dynamics and Control (aka orbital) course, and I found it suprisingly easy already knowing 65% of the concepts and math involved. I even wrote my own solver program for calculating intercept orbits and dV requirements. My professor had KSP on his "recommended learning materials" list for the class.

And then confirming it by waiting 30min and not falling back down (either there were no time warp yet, or I didn't know about it), and finaly landing my capsule softly on dark side of kerbin, only to explode anyway because I was "underground" according to early coordinate system. Good times.

Amazing to think that we owe KSP to one guys work, he got tired of working with adverts and wanted to quit at Squad, but they told him to stay on and he'd be allowed to make KSP. So he made the first public version himself. And boy, that game took of like, well like a rocket.

As someone who’s about to start college with the goal of working for an aerospace firm helping to launch rockets, I wouldn’t be here without Kerbal, or, to be honest, without you. Your videos taught me a lot about rocketry and how to do things in Kerbal (which got me further into the game, to the point that I now have thousands of hours in it), and I’m so happy that you’re still around to teach about these things. Kerbal was amazing for space education, but your channel is still one of the best for it. Thanks :)

Oh man… 2012 was my first purchase of KSP. I loved it so much I gave away copies to my friends (legally… I gifted it on Steam when it moved there). I cursed KSP when I started as I just could not do a rendezvous… then when I learned the tricks it was like “Ohhhhhhhhhhh”. I tried to make a real navball but couldn’t make the ball itself as it needed to be hollow in 2 hemispheres with a 5mm slice removed from the centre and I couldn’t get it accurate enough, especially as it needed the markings added on. I knew how to do the mechanics but got beat by the ball.

Two kerbal questions- First, could you do an air-breathing lower stage sort of a "Jedi Aethersprite Hyperdrive Ring" but using atmospheric oxygen to cut the weight of the first stage? Second - How about a "Gerald Bull Spaceport" at the Marianas Trench? A ~7 mile / 11K undersea launch tube. It would be a steel tube, going down the full depth of the trench, filled with air, with the orbital vehicle at the bottom. Launch is achieved by opening flood gates, letting water rush in, turning the entire 7 mile tube into a compressed air gun 'spit balling' the vehicle out the top...

Ten years of sending little green men to their screaming, fiery doom... uh, I mean, to explore the vastness of space!

[@user2C47]

Clearly _someone_ hasn't discovered the probe core yet.

[@Trippsy05]

@@user2C47 But it's more fun when you use kerbals

[@emotodude]

Love it. Transfer Window Planner, Alarm Clock, and Advance Time Warp were always the 1st mods I would add to the game.

[@noahgranger6749]

Hey the old intro! Man i love this game, thank you to everyone who has ever worked on it and thank you Scott for getting me to the mun and beyond. Fly safe!

[@GLaDOS_V42]

All these years and how far we've come the advice you gave us will always be needed: CHECK YO STAGING

[@andyyang5234]

There are good games. There are great games. But very few can say they changed the world. This had been an extraordinarily exciting decade both for both KSP and for space in real life, and the former certainly played an important role in sparking excitement in the latter. KSP2 has some huge shoes to fill, but I'm confident we have an even more exciting decade ahead of us, both in KSP2 as well as space IRL.

[@bandras87]

I've found your channel through KSP. Came for the little green men, stayed for the science and rocketry. Keep up the good work educating us.

[@patinakustoms6109]

Scott you mentioned how the early Kerbal used a hub cap for the heat shield. I may be wrong but im almost positive that is a wheel off a delorian (think back to the future).

[@BrooksMoses]

Yup, it sure looks like it. That's great!

[@diederikwillems6782]

I learned to get good at this game thanks to you. Thank you. One of my fondest gaming memories is landing on Minmus for the first time.

[@KostasK62]

Thank you Squad and Thank You Scott for this incredible experience all those years!

[@slikespitfire4751]

I actually just got the game on this update, hope to look forwards to many years as part of this community.

[@jamesrobinson1214]

Pretty exciting video. Not long after KSP came out, and I started seeing videos of other people’s experiences with it, I want to get it, but I no longer own a computer. Everything I need, I can do on my iPad Pro. I still don’t have KSP, but jumped into Simple Rocket 2 after you mentioned it in one of your videos. The rocket simulation games are such fun.

[@Joe4evr]

Honestly, when you started talking about how KSP is such a great educational tool, you should've spliced in that XKCD of "How much I understand orbital mechanics".

[@sergeantseven4240]

I subbed back in 2012 when I first started playing because I needed help doing transfers and orbits. Today I watch you primarily for Space X and NASA news. lol time flies. I have had 2 kids, bought my first house and got married since 2012.

[@SGTRandyB]

My son loves the game as I did. We both learned a great deal about space travel, management, and maneuvers. It’s been a glorious ride.
