I’ve been making Kerbal Space Program videos since the ancient times of 2015, and among the things I’ve done over the years one of the most popular topics has always been constructing space stations, and constructing space shuttles. So let us today combine the two, and build my first ever Space Station in Kerbal Space Program 2, and of course use a Space Shuttle in the process!

  • That stall maneuver was pure Kerbal. Wanna get to the ground? Fall as fast and as uncontrollably as possible.

    :O a sponser? Proud of you matt, you really deserve all the new popularity!
  • @binjallaf
    I will never understand how with so many bugs in game atm you are able to pull all this off without fail. You're awsome m8.

    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.

    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.
  • 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.
  • Great stuff :D I love seeing how ksp 2 is slowly but surely becoming more playable
  • @LexiPopuli
    "the big external fuel tank painted orange, because orange is just the best..." Ironically the real life external fuel tank on the shuttle was orange because it wasn't painted to save weight! :elbowcough:
  • @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.
  • @cdz9400
    YES! I love these videos. I've gone back and watched you ksp 1 building a space station videos several times because of my love for these videos
  • @gold5556
    Hate to be that guy but the space shuttle oms actually were pressure fed bipropellant hypergolic engines.
