The Ultimate Kerbal Space Program Iceberg

07:47 sounds like a cool channel might check it out

16:56 While the camera looks like the Curiosity/Perserverance camera, the landmark in the game is a reference to the Spirit rover which got stuck in the martian sand before failing during development of the game.

They aren’t obese they just have kilos of hidden snacks

if ksp is actually made to make aerospace engineers it definitely works cause I want to be one 💀

41:09 if nasa is actually using my rocket designs, i can guarantee that there will be disasters.

Gonna add something that was missed in this iceberg - in older versions of KSP there was a glitch that allowed you to place asteroids as parts in the VAB - the part was called “A potato like rock” with the description “A big ol, rock like thing”

my headcanon for the nature of kerbals that explains the lack of visible cities on kerbin's surface, their lack of any need for supplies on long voyages, and their ability to survive long periods underwater is: kerbals are a sort of sapient algae.

Wish "kraken drive" was on the list. It's the type of drive that tries to harness the power of Kraken to generate virtually infinite propulsion. Those drives were using in game glitches, making them extremely powerful, infinitely efficient, but also quite unstable.

41:40 strange goo isn’t kerbals, it’s a baby Kraken It tries to escape into water, it feels at home on Bop, and when you brighten the texture you can see something staring back at you.

"X or bust!" is not a reference to anything Minecraft. That phrase goes back decades. The main planet in KSP is not called "Earth." It is "Kerbin". There's a lot of references to it, from contracts to science messages to the encyclopedia itself... The Mohole is even weirder than that. It was a math error, caused by the heightmap in early versions not actually covering the entire planet and getting truncated to "zero" - meaning the land at that one point has an elevation of zero meters above the core. That's why it is an inverted pyramid. Even though the error was fixed, the Mohole became a feature blessed by the devs and even included in KSP2, though they had to do extra work to make it stable. The Amish don't refuse to use technology. They have adopted cellphones, for example, though in limited and specific circumstance. They're very strict about how that technology is used; only technologies that benefit the collective are allowed, while technologies that separate people from the collective are banned. The glowing features hidden inside the Mun arches were added as a promotion for KSP2. The arches existed from very early, but the glowing features were added just prior to the EA release of KSP2. Eve can't explode because there's no oxidizer on the planet. Laythe is much smaller than Kerbin. In the console port of the game, there is a launch site on the Mun. It makes up a bit for the lack of mods and difficult controls. "Almost, but not entirely unlike..." is a Hitchhiker's Guide reference, wherein a drink that is "almost, but not entirely unlike tea" is served.

25:40 DID I HEAR SUPER EARTH!!!??? SWEET LIBERTY, MY LEGG

I dont think NASA would want to see the shitfuck42069 crash and burn 3 seconds after liftoff, but okay

3:57 I think it is a more general reference to "Oregon or bust" used by american frontier settlers in the 19th Century. There was actually a Gemini mission that used the phrase for its mission patch that depicted a horse drawn wagon. In their case they wanted to bust the on orbit time record.

6:43 i’m pretty sure the dev saw no need to put time and effort adding unnecessary structures on Kerbin

As a spanish, I think that they learnt it becouse of that space ship made of wood that was launched in 1635 and never returned it was called "Tonto el que lo lea", but that 's just a theory

3:50 mun or bust could be a reference to Gemini 8 “8 days or bust”

Game creators: Let's create a lovely memorial to Neil Armstrong- it'll be cute! :D The players: OKAY SO BECAUSE IT MENTIONS NEIL ARMSTRONG AND HE WAS A HUMAN THAT MEANS THE KERBALS KNOW OF THE HUMANS AND THEREFORE KERBALS ARE TECHNICALLY HUMANS AND THEREFORE WE ARE ALL PLAYING THE FUTURE WHERE IT PREDICTS THAT WE ARE ALL CHUNKY

13:32 i could have gone my whole life without knowing that THAT existed of my favourite game

8:45 in vanilla KSP Kerbals can stay in space for hundreds of years without dying. While you can't take off helmets in vacuum it might be due to pressure difference , not oxygen
