How to do your FIRST MUN LANDING in KSP 2: Exploration Mode!

Let us attempt one of Kerbal Space Program's biggest beginner challenges - flying to and landing on (...and returning from) then Mun! Along the way, we'll be completing 3 missions in Exploration Mode: One Small Step, First Dibs, and The Perfect Circle. If you're struggling then hopefully this video can help you out!

So weird having Matt Lowne videos that don't dissolve into chaos

[MatthewChenault]

Pro-tip: “Mare” in the context of Lunar low-lands is pronounced “Mar-ae.” It’s derived from the Latin word for “sea.” The reason why they were called “Mare” is because they appeared to look like bodies of water due to their (relatively speaking) flat surfaces.

Curbing (kerbing?) that sweet Scott Manley tutorial market

[carterhansen]

I had recently got the game and had no idea why my rockets were out of control until Matt said that the Reliant engines can't gimbal. Thank you so much for the Tutorial!

[DanielBair]

Having watched all of Scott Manley's KSP 1 tutorials I was impressed how much I learned for these 1st 2 Science videos. You explain important details on how to do things very well. They are a huge help. TY!! The Mantel has been passed from Scott to you!!

[romigithepope]

There needs to be a passing of the Kerbal crown ceremony from Scott to Matt.

Matt, i love your videos. I have never played KSP 1 or 2, but i can live through you. Love to see longer form videos as well. I know they take forever to film and edit, but 1 - 2 hours with you is amazing. Thank you for the great work!!

[ThatOneGammaRay]

I started a new KSP1
science save called "Kerbal Space Labs" My goal is to put at least one surface base and one space station on every celestial body (With some exceptions ofc)

[MarcusHouse]

Thank you for teaching me rocket things!

[banniball]

I really enjoy the length of this episode it's very manageable but still fulfilling!

[jimmiemcfunfloungel]

Excellent tutorial, very thorough, and with steps repeatedly demonstrated to reinforce learning. Great!

[Gunthrek]

They should make that trip planner with check boxes so the math at the end shows exactly what you need based on your plan.

[CraigPeds]

As an idea for your next piece of content for this update, how to efficiently maximise science gathering across the tiers. I think on KSP1 you made one where you attempted to see just how much science you could obtain in a single mission also.

[ianrobertson]

Thank you so much for these tutorials Matt! Still learning how everyhing works but these a great starting point to jump into if you still feel you need a bit more guidance after the in game tutorial.

I am loving this series so much. I need more. Lol

[Gaelic-Spirit]

On my first orbital flight, I hadn't yet unlocked a heat shield so my capsule was stuck in orbit permanently until I was able to do a rendezvous and bring Jeb home

[wafflewhale]

Finally, been waiting for a while, great episode!

[tikishark]

Great tutorial, I'm really loving the series. Unfortunately, I was able to make it to the Mun and land, but didn't reserve enough Delta V to return home. Oh well, nothing like a rescue mission later on. Can't wait for the next installment.

[RockAristote]

Great tutorial! Hope to see you try the Under Pressure mission soon!

23:00 beautiful landing! You made that look easy
