Modded KSP 1 was the real KSP 2 all along

As the mother of two boys who grew up playing this game. I am here crying full of memories. One of those kids is going to college for Aerospace Engineering. Thank you for this.

ksp 1 will forever be in my heart as the game that gave me my love for the great beyond ❤

[Stratzenblitz]

Damn that was cool. Nice work combining creative craft design and shots to tell a compelling story!

[robopenguin]

This has got to be the best KSP cinematic I have ever seen. Hits even harder after the news about KSP 2...

[sebastiaomendonca]

Absolutely incredible. This is the "Build fly dream" of modern KSP

[Zerebox-]

As a 10-year veteran of this game, it's a very emotional thing to see the end of an era. Thank you for this tribute.

I like how M83 is now basically the official band of KSP music videos

[thebadger]

Well, here we are. 11 years after KSP came out and 2 months before KSP2, someone finally "beat" the game.

This is legitimately the best KSP cinematic I have ever seen. Absolutely brilliant. The cinematography and music choice are absolutely spot on. I really want to know how you got the shot at the end with the Kerbal planting the flag in so many locations, that shot was especially brilliant!

[AustinPrevette]

When I built the Paraterraforming mod 6 months ago, I had no clue that people would be using it in large projects and actually enjoying it. Thank you for making something with it, and thank you for the stunning cinematic.

[somestarman]

Makes me cry in happiness not only for KSP, but for what may come outside of the screen. I'm going to become an aerospace engineer, and I envy where we will go.

[vannythefanny]

This is the most tear-jerking KSP cinematic I have seen yet. You did an incredible job!

[TDChannelKSP]

Honestly, one of the most beautiful KSP videos I've ever seen. Starts off slow and tranquil and builds to an incredible finish.

Exceptionally well done! There's so many fantastic shots - View from the Cupola, Sarnus approach, Skylon takeoff, massive shipyards, the Space 1999 looking lander. It's just amazing.

[mortallychallenged]

It's hard to articulate what incredible thing you've done here is. Ksp is always the "funny game with space frogs" but as a 10 year veteran it's far more than that, it's the emotion of pioneering exploration that makes it such an incredible game.

Thank you so much for making this.

[KerbalJoe]

That just left chills down my spine, AND you created a true spiritual successor to the Build Fly Dream trailer that pulled so many of us in way back at the start. Great job.

[willbaker]

This game made me fall in love with space. Now I’m in college for aerospace engineering. Thank you ksp. You will always have a place in my heart!

[EntropianVFX]

Yet another excellently made video, Yukon. I am once again astounded by the quality and composition of this cinematic.

[Caspar_]

Wow, this is amazing! The shots are absolutely stunning, and it's clear that a lot of effort and creativity went into making it. Thank you for making this video, it's definitely one that I'll be watching again and again. Keep up the amazing work!

[Commodore]

jesus man, you made me think back to when i was first playing the game like 2014-ish. damn good memory's. amazing cinematic, probably one of the best ones ever
