KSP2: Building a Space Station!

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!

My PC specs:
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090
AMD Ryzen 9 5950X 16-Core Processor
64 GB RAM
3840 x 2160, 144Hz

This video is intended for audiences 13+ years old.

Chapters:
00:00 Intro and Build
02:05 First Mission
11:08 Second Mission
19:24 Third Mission
25:38 Fourth Mission

:O a sponser? Proud of you matt, you really deserve all the new popularity!

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

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.

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.

God I miss Matt's KSP2 Vids. The graphics were so amazing and this game really had potential. I do hope someone takes over development soon

[lachieslan]

Great stuff :D
I love seeing how ksp 2 is slowly but surely becoming more playable

[Racing_Rookie]

Every time you upload i get so excited to see what you’ve done i love all your content man. And that startrek ad 👌

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.

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 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.

[cdz]

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

[tennant]

Matt, I’ve been rewatching velocity lake, and I now remember how much I love your rambling commentaries. I asked my friend, who also likes your channel he says that he doesn’t listen to the commentary and just watches the video (because he is new to ksp). Personally, the video kinda gives away what your doing, and I love hearing your rambling commentaries

"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!

[strive]

0:56 god damn thats a smooth transition

[pjludda]

OH MY!

This video is LITERALLY DECADES in the making....





Literally.

0:35 - 0:41 nah you did AWSOME super accurate on the shuttle i dont care what those haters say 10⭐🌟

[bensharpe]

Fun fact: the Puff engine is listed as an RCS thruster in the staging stack. I think it will be used as big RCS thrusters on interstellar ships!

Matt's favorite reaction wheel has now been added to the Deep Lore.

Great Video, Thanks for the tip about pressing J on the keyboard to rewind time on YT, I never knew that, THANKS.. I haven`t got KSP2 yet, might wait a few more months, before downloading it, KEEP UP THE VIDS, 👍🔔

[spaceman]

I think I single-handedly made your channel popular by watching that station-building video every morning because I thought it was motivational! Lol!

Can’t wait to see the music video of this video, good work mate!
