Nice to see the realism in the first game carrying over to the second

This is exactly the type of shenanigans I wanted to see from you in this game.

I can't wait to see how insane your spacecraft will get.

low mass circumnavigation will be fun. i was flying around and holy shit is air resistance wild. might end up being a big funny quad wing craft.

Not only has this update made the game playable for me and many others, it has finally allowed some of the best ksp content to bridge the gap! Super excited to see what comes next :3

THE LEGEND... IS BACK!!! on a serious note your odyssey series kinda inspired me to make hyper specific small spacecrafts and it made ksp1 and 2 so much fun

I hadn't seen the channel name at first, heard your voice and was like "ah, of course its Bradley"

You've been back since 2 days ago and you're already pushing boundaries again

glad youre back! The obvious idea is a grand tour of the Kerbol System

It's nice to have you back, your game knowledge and skill is amazing. I think it would be a nice idea for this series to kinda alternate between small "easy" missions, going for ridiculously small launch mass, and longer ones, allowing for some interesting options. I'm waiting for it!

Of course he lands it at the KSC Welcome back!!!!!!!!! Personally i'd like you to take a crack at the 200t minmus lander contract with the lowest launch mass possible.

I am so happy you are back man. thank you so much for making these videos. I can't wait to find out what's in store for Bill.

I'm so glad to see you're back, and with my favourite type of video, too! I really enjoyed your KSP 1 low mass videos

I never normally coment on YT but it is so good to see you back. I love your videos, excited to see more!

I've been Subbed for years, but this one would've earned my Sub if I wasn't! You're an AWESOME Content Creator and a KSP Master; 1 & 2!

Hahaahaha of course, it hasn't even been a day and he's already back in his throne. Never change!

Missed your content, glad to have you back! (Tip: The "start" mass of your current stage in the extended stage info tab is your vessel's total current mass)

Can't wait to see more KSP2 from you!

Can't wait for the next video, so interesting :)

Brad uploading KSP2 videos again. This takes me back to a simpler time.

Yay! He's back. Fascinating missions and a neat sense of humor. :) Hmm... where to suggest for a low-mass mission? Anywhere would be good; the added challenge of minimizing the mass for the destination is a bit of a leveller. Eve popped into my mind and I've got to agree with the person who said, "Jool, while it still has a surface," but those would take a bit of working up to with the new atmospheric heating. For a more immediately practical destination, how about Tylo? Obviously, I've been following for long enough to think practicality is relative. ;)

Very beautiful. That soft water landing was top notch 💪💪

Seconding what a few others have said - a circumnavigation of Kerbin under a certain altitude would make for an interesting video

Awesome to see you back after so long, your videos never disappoint and I know they'll just go up from here! Pun intended

brad is real!! i forgot that this channel was around but its my absolute favorite

Wow i *just* finished your ksp2 first impressions vid

Seems 515kg is pretty close to the limit, you had very little margin for error. As for low-mass challenges, a Jool landing would be interesting (while Jool still has a solid surface).

"Take rough aim" Proceeds to bullseye the KSC from orbit with a single burn.

Glad to have you back Brad. Can't wait to see what shenanigans you and Bill will pull in KSP 2.

Lets goooooo! I love it when you upload:D

Visiting each pole and planting a flag seems like a good challenge

Can't wait for the low mass interstellar landing and return mission

Love your return!

Grand job, sir!

Robotug is back! :)

It is amazing to see you back 🎉 Bill is gonna have to bring the whole on NYC to Eve now, right?

2 days back and brad already pulled this shit im scared for the devs for what hes gonna do next

Yooo the channel is alive 🎉

Welcome back. I think there is currently no heating from the sun, so landing on the sun might be possible? The 91k dV without gravity assists looks a bit daunting though... "low mass" might still be a ginormous ion driven behemoth.

Seeing Robotug alive and well cured my depression

THE LEGEND IS BACK

cant wait for low mass to deb deb in 2 years

Return of the king

So happy you are back. I prefer videos using few to zero tricks or exploits to the physics of the game engine. Your knowledge of real life optimizations is so wonderful just focusing on what you can do within the bounds of reality is enough for me to enjoy. I'm just one guy, good luck and drive your views.

im not sure how much they weigh or the how much drag they have but you can do the fuel thing with the fuel line parts

Hey wistance, there are some more aerodynamic tricks. If you place a nose cone or so on top of a fairing but don’t build the shell, the drag of the attached part is reduced by about half. this also works with cargobays if you attach a cone on top.

Finally, a rocket that won't lag a 4090! Or fold in half!

Low mass exploration mode mission where you have to get a bunch of kerbals to Eve and back

simply genius. keeps as awesome as ever, but it's v2

He's back.

Well now ksp 2 really feels like home

JUST GET THE SPIDER ENGINES TO ORBIT BRAAAAAAADDDDDLLLEYYYYYY!

Didn't expect a new video so soon wow

He’s back!

finally back

I didn't think aerodynamics / air resitance were a thing in KSP 2 yet. I tried to aerobrake from a high eliptical Kerbin orbit and absolutely nothing happened ( no noticable AP change when dropping to 45km in the atmosphere). Not until I had decoupled the capsule. The capsule was affected by air resistance but then dug in too fast and exploded.

And so it begins ... :)

and so it begins i welcome the horrors of 2024 that you will bring

HOLY SHIT HES BACK

3:06 I didn't know that nosecones have less drag when reversed. I'm still learning new things about the game!

legend

obviously it adds mass but these are always more fun when you bring a kerbal along, if only for that parachuting hijinx (still a banger though)

GRAND TOUR fully reusable

I feel like you could probably abuse the wings at some point to do something CRAZY

i want to see low mass to the bottom of the vall canyon. little spoiler ahead: there is actually water in the canyon, and if you dive deep enough it actually stops being water and there is empty space underneath there and you can land on the bottom of the canyon

We are so back.

Young KSP gets worked on by Bradley "Lite" Whistance

nuts!!

yay an other great video

Glad you are back (:

Wait, you're back with new videos?

I'm really happy you're back making some cool stuff. I gotta admit. I miss your voice. And I miss seeing how you tackle various problems and challenges.

The goat is back, I'm so happy

They still haven't added reentry.

robotug in hd😍

Bro what the hell was that suicide burn

Noice

5 years later: 550kg to (insert name of other solar system)

A hard one, try the lowest mass to tylo and back.

After orbit, go to Mun and Minmus, please

Low thrust-to-weight airplane to haul specific weight between KSC and somewhere not far away on Kerbin, by using smallest jet engine for example?

S M O L

People have deadlifted this much weight 💀

The lack of autonomous fuel transfer, even though fuel lines are in the game and their own research node (!), irks me a lot. It makes Tylo and Eve reascend landers unnecessarily complicated.

Has anyone ever _tried_ launching a rocket with a backwards heat shield on the nose?

Could you switch the altitude readout in these recordings from ground to sea so its easier to see what the ascent rate and altitude are?

Low mass jool 5

😊

Brad will you update the odyssey by bill series?

I think i'd like to see the smallest mass to eve ground sea level and back. I wonder what it looks like. I never got back from eve... Ever.

low mass land speed record maybe?

How come the mass is lower than KSP 1 WR...

How do you even aim the landing spot, how did he make it look so easy

Can you try going to every planet and moon in one launch with one lander and no docking

I'd like to see lowest mass to circle the planet. no driving but going to space or satying in atmosphere are allowed.

Oh. I am surprised you don't know what would happen to a human if thrown into a volcano. 1. You can not actually fall into lava only onto it, it still being rock after all. 2. The dramatic thermal bloom would likley kill you before you reached the lava. 3. Once your corpse hit the lava your corpse would begin to skitter around on the lava like water on a hot frying pan because that is almost exactly what is going on.

I love the interface of the new game! The graphics are also on point but I just feel disappointed when it comes to the physics and gameplay part of the game. I hope that the game will get the love that it deserves from it's developers and become one of the best if not the best space simulator

The fact they didn't hire you to help with KSP2 development means they failed before they started.

how does a backward nosecone produce less drag than a forward one?

a blessing from the lord
