It is a very exciting day my dudes, as I finally get to show you my very first ever mission in Kerbal Space Program 2, thanks to the ESA KSP2 event that I attended earlier this month! For this mission, I decided to try out the classic Apollo Style Mun mission: take three (or in this case, perhaps more?) Kerbals to Mun orbit, have 2 of them board a separate lander that then descends to the surface! I really hope you enjoy this video, and all the others to follow! I plan to release a video every day in the run up to KSP 2!

    In 2 days at the new Lowne Aerospace Center, Matts already left a kerbal behind on the moon and flown planes into the Space Center 😂
  • @kittyh7500
    I love the idea of a race where the contestants have to build their vehicles as part of the race.
  • @baptiste5216
    Just realised those big circles near the runways are probably spaceX style landing spot. Can't wait to try to design a reusable rocket that lands here
  • @Boosharoo
    I can’t wait until we see Matt landing an SSTO on a planet that’s not in the kerbal system (great vid btw)
  • My favorite part of this video was watching Matt have an existential crisis about the parts not being called Mk2 anymore while seeing every part he select be named Mk2
  • @cdz9400
    I can't believe KSP 2 is finally abut to be here. It's been such a long journey and it's amazing to see that there will be a new generation of kerbal explorers.
  • @GreggyBoop
    I've got to say that Matt's content and coverage of KSP2 has been more thorough and thought-out and entertaining than any other KSP youtuber. Thank you, Matt. And good luck with your final Masters work! 👍
  • @ilovetomcats
    I still really want them to bring back the right click menu for parts in flight like in KSP1. Parts manager definitely has a place, but having easy, quick access menus do too. Hoping the dev team does good work after release, looks alright so far, can’t wait for MP! Also hopefully it’s got TrackIR support. I enjoy using that while flying around in FPV.
  • @dynameis
    I think the "MD" "SM" "LG" is connection size of parts and that is very useful , you still can see parts name when mouse hover on it.
  • @vaos3712
    SSTO building in KSP 2 will be way more fun with the new fuel types! I can’t wait to give it a go. That is, if my computer doesn’t explode while loading the game. 😢 Great stuff can’t wait to see what you come up with! 😊
  • @mymo_in_Bb
    Yo, good luck on your masters! As a musician and someone who's into composition for videogames, I can't help but point out the amazingly adaptive music that we hear in these clips. The game recognises when you're about to land, and layers on as you touch down... It really makes the game into a full cinematic experience, while keeping it a fully interactive experience, which just goes to show how well the music was handled.
  • @Tobbns
    Hey Matt, didnt you search for the crew escape system in yesterdays video? It is right there, 0:48 (under the "solid fuel booster" section), so you can make a "true" mun mission after release.
  • Someone is gonna have to stop me from just flying around Kerbin all day. I just LOVE the new procedural wings, especially combined with colorable parts!
  • @GreggyBoop
    The tyre squeal is such a nice touch. Beautiful!
  • @ProjectH4x
    Matt is both helping me cope with the anxiety for Friday but at the same time adding to it by showing me things I can't do till then.
  • The wings, my god the wings, I can't even comprehend how good this is, I can finally get the wings to body ratio accurate
  • @KerbalGuy
    Yes! the first ssto ever in Kerbal Space Program 2. Never gets old
  • I love the sounds of epic music during takeoff and the screech of tires as you fly off the runway lol.
