I'm a bit poorly this week so sorry if I don't sound as up-beat in the commentary!

Also, before any intellectuals comment about how I say Mun and not Mün, it's because it is not called Mün anywhere in the game except on the title screen with the crashed lander. The devs say Mun, the map screen and science reports say Mun, in fact every single mention of it in the game is written without the Umlaut. Thank you for understanding.

phase1- inspired by the tutorial
phase2- open ksp as if you are a rocket scientist
phase3- after 6 hours of making rocket
phase4- your rocket does a belly dance at launchpad

Me: i can do this.
Matt: *starts speaking*
Me: *confused screaming*

Just completed my first Mun landing yesterday. Man it's a great feeling, highly recommend it to all you new KSP players out there. I'd say the most exciting part of my landing in particular was when my orbit took me through a giant canyon- so I dipped down to the crazily low altitude and flew through this canyon at supersonic speed. That was really cool.

"You're gonna want to have at least 800 m/s of Delta V for going back to Kerbin"

Me: Has 200 m/s of Delta V while still in orbit around the mun

I have thousands of hours in this game. Doesn't mean I ain't watching a nice Matt Lowne tutorial.

Finally, a game guide who doesn’t sound awful, explains stuff in detail, is actually knowledgeable about the game, and doesn’t rush.

Thanks Matt! I’ll do this in Sandbox mode (as I’m a true pro), but the detail in this is great!

After practicing for a month, I'm finally advanced enough to follow Matt's tutorials

"Sir can you explain something to me?''
Matt, "Yes where do you have problems?"

11:35 : nitpick -- since the Mun is tidally locked, if you don't already face Kerbin on the surface, you can never get a connection by time warping.

Two years on and this video just helped me to get to the Mun and back :)

I had trouble getting back because I used too much delta-V finding a good landing spot on the Mun. Luckily, after tinkering with maneuver nodes for about fifteen minutes I finally got one that sent me back to Kerbin with the little fuel I had. Great tutorial!

Since the last patch, you can click on the altimeter to get altitude above the local ground instead of above sea level. It helps A LOT when making soft-landings because you no longer have to watch for your shadow to judge the distance to the ground. It's one of those new quality of life tools that helps new players to learn the basics.

Don't forget to collect eva reports while on the mun surface, but also jump and use a little rcs to reach about 20 feet up, and collect eva report just above the surface. Works on all biomes on mun and minmus.

hi matt i have been subbed for 3 days and you already made me get ksp after lots of arguing with my mum love the vids keep up the good work this video made me so happy thx for helping me understand ksp you are my favorite you tuber by 1 light year

“And it will harmlessly crash into the Munar surface” I was REALLY good at that part... R.I.P Bob Kerman...

Instructions unclear. Stole a NASA spaceship and now I'm floating in orbit.
