KSP: Fully SUBMERSIBLE Ocean Base to LAYTHE!

Wasting no time after establishing an orbital base, the Kerbals race to build a submersible habitat that can descend down to the bottom of Laythe's alien oceans!

I discovered the service bay trick through a video by HoDeok호덕

[Zartren]

Kerbal: "It's so dark down here. The only thing we could ever hope to see is-"
On-board computer: "Detecting multiple leviathan class lifeforms in the region. Are you sure whatever you are doing is worth it?"

[bxsjnzm]

32:10 i dont think i've ever seen a kerbal look so DEEPLY unhappy in my life.

[rayceeya]

Professor Hubert Farnsworth : Dear Lord! That's over 150 atmospheres of pressure!
Fry : How many atmospheres can the ship withstand?
Professor Hubert Farnsworth : Well, it's a space ship, so I'd say anywhere between zero and one.

[hardsteel]

“So why do laythe be how it be?”

Matt: i think this base is pretty fragile
Also Matt: does laythe entry without a heat shield

[rileyg]

Matt, put an asteroid in a moon orbit, aka, give a moon a moon

[jaydenli]

31:01 “we must mount a rescue mission!”

Missed opportunity to plug a blunderbird intro

That kerbal is traumatised for life
The deep ocean is scary enough through a screen, but being alone in a crushing alien void slowly drifting up from the bottom of the ocean for hours would make that that kerbal fear the ocean for the rest of his days. And considering youve trapped him on a mostly ocean planet you deserve worse than a law suit.

[CeltonHenderson]

As someone who dives, I can't even imagine how bad that kerbal would get the bends xD 32:00

Idea for the next life on laythe: super fast rover

[arnavkulshrestha]

I like the fact that matts channel does not have any clickbait content. He gives his 100% in all the videos and shows what his viewers like to watch.

Here's a small trick my friend taught me, when you want to TimeWarp to a maneuver, you can just click the two triangles on the left of the Delta-V readout, sand it will warp you to 1 minute before the maneuver, haven't missed a maneuver since!

[miguelviola]

My theory for liquid water on Laythe's surface is that the Moon is heated up by Jool's tidal forces and radiation redirection due to Jool's strong magnetosphere

[baschdiro]

Ah, no problem, there is just a pressure of about 80 atmospheres down there.

[sanctuary]

Idea for Life on Laythe: Make a SSTO that can travel between the bases (refuel with ISRU) AND also dock with the space station in Laythe orbit, bringing crew from the station down to the ground and transporting them between the bases

[epicfromepicgames]

maybe laythe is so close to jool, that the orbital friction from jool heats up laythe

[jbritain]

at this rate we’re gonna get a hovering base next

[Sharkest]

I was watching "into the warp" movie when youtube sent me your notification
LOL

[miguelviola]

Idea for next video of life on Laythe: Impacting a small probe/asteroid (depends on how kerbal you want to be) on Laythe's surface for seismology studies
