KSP 2: Building a Space Station Close to the SUN!

Inspired by the popularity of when I did this in Kerbal Space Program 1, coupled with the fact that KSP 2 currently doesn't have any thermal heating, I decided to build an epic space station in close proximity to the sun! The Kraken tried its best, but we overcame lots of hurdles to get our Kerbals abandoned in one of the worse environments in the Solar System! For science, of course.

It's been nearly six months and the game is still this busted?
I have immense respect for you, you clearly have way more patience than I could ever hope to.

"we've got that glitch again" is gonna be matt lowne's new catchphrase

Bob: "Alright, all systems are functional, ready for launch?"
Jebediah: "Ready, commencing launch in 3, 2, 1-"
Bill: *remembers he left the oven on at home and fricking jumps out the command pod*

I remember being so excited KSP2 was first announced, and seeing the state that the game is in now hurts me more than I can express, especially after seeing the joy and dedication from the devs

[tarrantwolf]

I like to think, since Kerbals are immortal, that when trapped on a station or outpost for to long and their water, food, and air runs out, instead of dying they kind of become a bit desiccated. They look like living mummies or zombies and in that quasi hibernation state all they can do is stumble around moaning "snacks". But of course after feeding and watering they return to their normal selves.

Hey Matt, you wouldn't happen to be an Outer Wilds fan would you? As soon as I saw this vid I thought "huh sun station from outer wilds" and then I swear I could hear the sun station music from the game playing. If you are then that's amazing! That game deserves way more recognition then it received. One of the greatest of all time!

"no hope of the crew ever coming home to Kerban, but its fine because once the thermal updates rolls around they will be incinerated instantly"💀

[opolyk]

I super appreciate you using the Outer Wilds' Sun Station theme.

[ADonutMan]

As soon as I saw the thumbnail and the title my inner outer wilds fan has been reawakened. When I heard the music I was even more delighted!

[Renewablefrog]

*Sees the name "Sun Station"*

Science compels us to explode the sun!

[udgeyjudge]

immensely appreciate the outer wilds sun station music, made me smile so wide when it hit

[nicklasmartos]

The bitterness is palpable. I really appreciate Matt soldiering on with videos, but the slow death of ksp2 is painful and sad.

As a solar station, you should have painted it in gold or chrome color (in relation to the thermal constraints).

[charlesbedard]

I just love the fact that he put the sun station theme from outer wilds at the end of the video.

[devcoolkol]

Can't wait for this game to be fully released and see your full potential in this.

[cdz]

OH MY GOD THIS IS AWESOME! This was one of my favorite ksp 1 videos on your channel

[BagelBoi]

Science compels us to build a station really close to the sun with no other motivation, just science- outer wilds

[virtzrl]

I immediately thought of outer wilds when I saw sun station. And I heard that sun station music at the end. Really cool mission idea!

[CannonSP]

Once the thermal attributes update comes out, you should do a "Sunshine" style mission to your local star. Big, long ship, even bigger thermal-reflective shield umbrella at the fore of the ship. Maybe minus the psychosis.
