KSP: Catching Deep-Space Debris with a SSTO!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 вер 2024
- As a semi-sequel to last week's mission, in which we flew Kerbal X to Pol and Bop, today we will recover a main-stage booster that's drifting in deep space, putting the lives of all the space polar bears and dolphins in peril!

There is a button on the gear, it says "Deploy shielded", if you click that, it extends when it's attached to a cargo bay.
That’s what that did!?
@Matt Lowne
dam that didn't work :(
Omg, I searched for this info for *years* ! Thx a lot =)
He is the messiah!
@@MattLowne make a flying jool base using airpark mod
Matt really has a gift for making SSTOs look badass, no matter how simple they are
The madlad, he didn't check the center of mass OR center of lift
The trick is in the tailfins
thats because all sstos look badass
@@sebdapleb1523 me with my long fuel tank with aerospike
bruh i cant even make an ssto because im just not creative enough (like designing the wings)
"I'll just keep complaining about things I don't need to complain about..."
My dude, you just described the entirety of the internet
That is true
Yo he did
Basically, my whole life.
No edits or “redos” required. The unscripted commentary is what makes these endearing.
Every Friday I tell myself I'm going to fix my sleep schedule. And every Friday night Matt uploads
Same for me but for Saturday
You both got off lucky. No matter what I do I can't wake during day at all unless its right before the sun goes down.
Same
Omg it is Saturday I forgot I can go back to sleep without feeling guilty tysm
Same but it’s Saturday
It’s 5am right now I stayed up all night and now I can enjoy a new video from Matt
Lmao its 5pm for me or 4.57
It's 2.42 pm for me Saturday
Dude your health matters. Sleep earlier (I sleep at 4am and giving advice lol)
@@mohammadsab4478 I know I usually don’t stay up like this a lot
its 3:22am for me rn

wow how dumb
Don’t forget the space polar bears!

Matt: “Career mode playthroughs aren’t fun to watch”

Matt you stupendous SSTO flying, space fairing animal activist, you still haven't done anything with comets!
Why, what a lovely coincidence. I was just about to go to bed then I check my recommendations
Matt: I need to do this with my left hand

Dude! If this is how proficient you are at doing things in one take that's AWESOME.
I wanna see more videos with this amount of editing, it feels very natural and more personal. I like it!
Also career mode IS totally fun to watch!! You have to come up with creative solutions to unusual contracts :)
You spoil us with consistency Matt! On the career mode - one thing I think a lot of people miss (because its not obvious) is that it throws random missions at you, but if you decline them, it "learns" and over time supplies you with missions you prefer. If you keep just taking certain missions, you will get more of those offered over time. For instance accepting Space Tourism missions will rapidly result in more. Letting them expire from the selection queue means over time less, but outright rejecting them more rapidly trains the system to not offer them to you. In effect, when doing a campaign, pick the ones you want, reject the ones you don't, and you will get missions you like. I found it helpful in my head cannon to outline what I wanted my Kerbal's space program arc to look like, then only accepted missions that were inline. Your rep takes a beating at first, but honestly, who cares, eventually you make it up and still come out ahead.
Aight, ima go dump a bunch of hydrazine in the atmosphere of laythe now.
Don't do it, don't do it!
@@DerInterloper Down with space beavers! Up with the proton!
Is hydrazine used in RCS or is a rocket fuel?
@@panpsalt6757 It’s a rocket fuel used in RCS
If you got real fuels, then why stop at Hydrazine and dump Chlorine Trifluoride on Laythe instead?
I'd love a Science Mode Console Series where you could show more creative ways to collect science, maybe visiting the Comet if she makes an appearance? Haha.
Love the content, stay safe!
Those last 10 seconds are the single most chaotic collection of things outside of the warp.
Looks like a shit storm raining shit apples.

Hi Matt I love your videos. I especially like your ssto videos as it gives me something to base my spaceplanes on.
You missed an opportunity to title this “The Debris-est Catch”!
👀
The Hardest Catch?
haha..octodad
@@Nafinafnaf Deadliest
Hope your hand heals quickly, always love the KSP content it gives me ideas for my console playthrough (would use a PC but I'm a poor boi) editing spacecraft is sooooo much harder on console and it's less accurate but it works.
I broke my hand last fall and could barely play KSP with just the one. Props to you for both playing and editing despite the injury!
Hi! I am 12 years old and I got KSP 2 weeks ago. Your channel is the first time I got introduced to this game. Yesterday I managed to get a sattelite into orbit! Thank you for these great videos!
Get well soon!
@@arnavagarwal5780 ?
Matt had a broken a at the time of this video he mentions but I forget when
Yes! I want to see the mun base!! And I understand your points about career mode. I would totally enjoy the career stream
I love how you make entire missions put of this where as there is literally a button to delete debris. Kudos
career mode is my favourite mode and i play career only, the contracts are optional and there are some really fun contracts where you need to go to like 6 planets in 1 launch and theyre not that rare, or base building contracts, base expanding contracts...
Dont worry about the broken hand Matt, i hope everyone would respect him and let him took time off to heal.
Everybody but UA-cam / The Algorithm(tm)
Huh I really timed this nicely, 103 views. :)
*Edit*: How'd you hurt your hand if I can ask? I thought "I'll go over what I did" was about your hand, by the way quality of content and commentary seems good as usual.
*Edit Two*: Bashed against a door frame Source: Matt's Instagram
I think the door frame was just a cover story for what really happened - I'm sure it goes something like: While I was fighting off a load of road warrior style bikers or when protecting the harbor from blood thirsty group of pirates.
RIP
Right Hand
'Twas a good and useful hand'
I think I was like 13 when I first played this game. I couldn't even figure out how to do a circular orbit. Now I'm 20yo and just started playing again. I have built a refueling station on the mun and minmus. I also have a massive space station halfway between kerban and the mun. Duna is next! Your videos are so helpful, and your enthusiasm just makes me want to play KSP even more. Thanks Matt.
This is sooo freaking cool. Using the new features to recover parts. Right out of something sci-fi :D
This man makes some random reviews that are quality.
Planet coaster was great, I'd love to see you bring it back!
For the wheel not working when placed on cargo bay - place it on cockpit and use the fine tuner to move it back - if you hold shift or alt, you can drag it further than the constraints of the grandfather part!
One time I got into a kerbin orbit and ran out of
Fuel while completing the de-orbit burn, I was still in orbit, BUT the atmosphere actually caught me and slowed me down JUST enough to land
I love this time of week
Yes for console playthrough! And I wish you a swift recovery for your hand :)
I watched one of your videos a couple months ago, and now I can't stop playing KSP, one hour feels like one minute.
Also, in the making of this comment I just became a member of the Lowne Squad!
I'm playing career mode in PC and the contracts are actually getting better. At first it had part tests, tourists and satellite launches, then some stations (in LKO or Kerbol orbit and in Mun and Minmus) and now as I get further into the other planets more good contracts pop up. For example I have to drill for ore in Duna and take it to Ike (or the other way), or take some reading on a specific place in Eve and so on. And all that gives loads of money so I can expand my stations!
I never see anyone use it, but the third tab on your info window at bottom left actually tells you closest approach distances. SO, if you wanted to use the map even less for an encounter, that is helpful.
your great next make a space dolphin and launch it in to space
That space dolphins and space polar bear part makes it feel like he is a kerbal
KSP is so cool. one thing it has made me realize is, in space, you dont just go out and sit. youre always orbiting something lol.
14:36 nice! Munar eclipse
that is so coooolll, i never knew you could make arms like this
Career mode gets much much better after unlocking the science tree. It’s not testing decouplers at altitude, it’s more like retrieving a rock from Laythe. I’d luv a console play thru because that’s what I play KSP on. The PS4 pro.
I’d luv a career mode play thru
THERE IS A MUN BASE! mind blown [post was made by laptop gang]
Reported, disliked, and blocked.
There was no need for that.
@@gage2189 wait what? I dont get it
@@chicom2466 why? I don’t get why their comment was so bad
@@bennybooboobear3940 Laptop gang is cringe and phone gang is good and kind
Just before I clicked on this video. I flew my first space shuttle! It was designed by me as well. The landing wasn't so good cause one set of evelons exploded and I landed with like 20m/s vertical speed. But the crew did survive.
Vulture is actually a really fitting name for a craft like this!
I believe - and I'm not 100% sure , but if you click on the landing gear and select "deploy shielded" in the landing gear menu - it'll deploy on the gear action if attached to or in a cargo bay?
Not sure though, on my SSTOs usualy the front gear ends up under the cockpit (I tend to not let the fuselage be too long)
I certainly did not notice the curser until you mentioned it funny enough. my brain filtered it out while i was focused on rockets :)
Kinda wanna see a career mode playthrough. I wanna see how creative Matt can be in completing the contracts
Lol
Your account name thingy is literally called " gravity "
LOL
The community:why do you take the space junk out matt:IT'S THE LAW!
Thats the best way of starting into the Holidays: watch a Matt Lowne Video!
Merry Christmas to you and your weird timezone.
@@desmond-hawkins its easter, not christmas, but thanks!
Thank you for cleaning space! I really wish space agencies did this in real life.
Normal aeroespace let's use an expendable rocket
Lowne : lets recover deep space debris with an SSTO
Hey MATT, It would be really cool if you did a special video, lightly explaining how Nasa figures out maneuvers. I would love to hear a simple breakdown of how that stuff is done. Perhaps explained over your next KSP video.
If you’re really going to do a console playthrough on PS4 like you said. Make sure to make a back-up after each day of playing. You can easily do that in settings under manage save data via a USB-drive. I have had KSP crash and delete my save or make it unplayable otherwise far too many times now.
The WR speedrun for KSP is under an hour, if anything a save game corruption would be a good opportunity to try and farm back as much science as possible :P
I may be going against the crowd here but I actually quite prefer the shorter videos rather than longer. Either way though, it’s crazy how Matt always manages to make crafts that are snazzy looking as well as efficient. Keep up the great work Matt :)
Almost at 400k subs Matt advance congrats!!
I hope your hands will heal soon.
Hey Matt,
love your videos.
Btw if you do not want your robot arms to move just locked them.
You will not get rid of all movements but 95% off it.
I’ve been a sub and a fan for a long time. I watch all ‘Last Week This Week’ episodes. I play KSP on PS4 pro, that’s all I got. I don’t have a PC. I play ‘career’ mode only, and after the career gets further into unlocking all science tree items, or most of them, the missions get much better.
Mate, have you noticed how much more game is crashing at the moment? I'm talking like 2-3 times everytime I play. Seems to be increasing in frequency
Yoo awesome!
Cannot wait for KSP2 and multiplayer... I hope there’s multiplayer. Having space races, first to the Mun etc etc, is going to be great.
Sending all of our love and support your way.
to have bases on different planets /moons on stock to spice things up would really be cool.
Have a good recovery Matt, go and see a physio for your hand so to have a proper healing.
Cool eclipse at the end
1:02 You always forget the spacepanda's
a lot of the career mode contracts can get pretty interesting, like i had to make a minmus base with 1,600 units of liquid fuel but also with only a 1.25m fairing and fuel tanks of mk0 and mk1
all of the uninteresting ones are usually just at the beginning and they get more fun
also not having VAB, SPH, launchpad, and runway upgraded makes it so you have to think about it, not just add more boosters
I did not notice the left handed trackpadness until you mentioned it. Also yes, show me the differences between PC and console. Do science mode as much as you like. Don't touch career mode until KSP 2. Science mode on console sounds great!
Also please bring back it's Wednesday my dudes
YAY! CONSOLE PLAYTHROUGHS!
Dude, we like your content not for the perfect editing , but for the author and the subject matter. Heal up and don't sweat the rough edges caused by the injury!
The eclipse was a really nice touch to this video..
I gotta admit, that specific ssto is looking AWESOME!
Me: *up all night*
Matt: Take a KSP video to stay up longer! :D
Matt on video mode: lets just recover that stage even if it could crash at mun!
Matts brain: LETS MAKE SOME CONTENT BOYYYYYY!!!!
Matt i hae learned so much from you, thank you!
-your average fan
Mun base is great. I can build massive interplanetary ships and launch them as a single unit instead of monkeying around with multiple launches.
all of these videos eventualy turn into story time with matt
get well soon commander matt
My one genuine skill is the fact I'm just as proficient with both hands at using a mouse. Unironically, crossing my arms is the most helpful thing.
Oh no! I hope you get well soon Matt ❤️
a career mode stream would be fun indeed!
Matt is one of the only youtubers I watch
Maybe career mode and the video is you completing multiple contracts in one flight? That could be fun
its funny how matt lowne did this on purpose just for a challenge, when he could have just terminated it from the tracking station lol but still very cool!!!
to extend the landing gear while in a cargo bay o a fairing, when you are in the VAB/SPH right click the landing gear and set deploy as shielded
THANKS FOR SAVING MY SCRAP
HUEHA
ROSES ARE RED VIOLETS ARE BLUE, YOUR SSTO IS MINE TOO
Perfect for lunchtime!
the clipping debris made my day. very good content 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
Career mode is almost all I watch on KSP videos. I love to see how others work through the requirements of the career itself. How do others achieve the goals of the contracts. ;-)
If Matt doesn’t realise it, he is making all of our lockdowns better with his videos.
Science playthroughs are the most interesting to watch if only to see the various science gathering strategies. Unfortunately most KSP video creators tend to get lost in the weeds of mods and other shit and it turns into a 5 episode speedrun.
I'm an experienced player but it is still entertaining to see how I might have done something differently and I think that is the next problem with KSP videos. Everything doesn't have to be a new giant gimmick; or worse, limited to version updates... Sometimes just seeing how last weeks science collection could have been done differently is worth watching. You might think people are "sick of" seeing how to do a gravity assist, or how to plan a trip, but I think that's shortsighted.
Looking forward to the science playthrough!
I would watch you stream career mode Matt any day. I think that would be awesome. Please get well soon.
The SSTO probably cost more than the booster and he lost money
It’s not about the money it’s about the *P R I N C I P L E*
It's all worth it if it means the space dolphins get to prosper in peace.
I want to see a career mode play through based on the Blunderbirds-like contracts. You can also get quite a lot of cash from “World’s First” achievements, no contract required - a flyby of many Jool moons can be quite lucrative!
Matt: Lat's delete all the debris is space!
NASA: Bro who cares about space dolphins?
The past five videos have ended with a cut BYE!!!! resulting with BAYY-!!!!! I like these endings.
I know you won't see this but a series I would LOVE would be you using stock vessels and doing what you did with the kerbal x and use them and see what stock vessels are actually good I think it would be awesome and something new
