Enjoy! Check out the (non-monetised) music video version here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/prlkmKZjz8uYp6s.html There was a weird glitch in this mission where one of the tanks (one of the silver ones attached to the re-entry capsule) wasn't being used by the engine and wasn't draining. I don't know why this occurred, but manually draining the fuel into another tank and then pumping it back in (therefore leaving me with a net result of no actual transfer) fixed the issue and the engine could use it. Really strange. That's why my DeltaV total increases at 16:14 despite the fuel levels remaining unchanged, I just pumped the fuel out and back in.

Matt Lowne: I want my kerbals to be comfy Also Matt Lowne: Transfer them through a claw, fuel tanks and engines into a lander can.

I’m impressed that you didn’t use any monopropellant in any of the randevous

Build a rocket with at least one of every part in the game and go to the mun

You know i told you in the stream that the decoupler was facing the wrong way...

Matt: "Weight is the name of the game..." My physics teacher: "Boi, do you mean mass?"

Beginning of the video Matt: "This has a lot of delta v anyway so I chose i slightly less efficient efficient Terrier for the TWR. I'm not being too efficient in my burns here." End of the video Matt: "You can see that we have to do a lot of budgeting here. Just 590 m/s of delta v left to get to Kerbin." Me: (Insert fancy voicover) "We are observing the rare Matt performing it's daily routine in it's natural habitat of the Kerbol System. At the (almost) top of the food chain, he dominates the Kerbol system. His only fear is a vicious monster, the KRAKEN, and like dark matter, no one has ever seen it, only it's effects are observed. However, this particular Matt seems to deal with the creature very well. But he seems to have an odd habit of being liberal with 'delta v', thus going easy on those who watch and attempt to recreate his actions. As a result, he makes mistakes which take a hilarious turn and give a good laugh to anyone watching."(End Fancy Voiceover)

The happy medium suits me fine. Thank you for the entertainment!

Build a base that's hanging under a moon arch on a claw-thingy!

"EVA activities" ATM machine.

Me: OMG THIS IS SOOOO HARD I CANT EVEN GET OFF THE GROUND IN KSP Matt: I'm going to set some extra challenges for myself.

*uploaded 2 minutes ago* *video 19 minutes long* 2 dislikes BRUH

Man, how do you even dock like that? Even if I undock and then try to dock again, the magnets don't stick and the ship starts drifting. I can't rendevous our dock without MechJeb.Not kidding. deep respect for you man.

And again another fantastic KSP video

Props for using a real pod. I've been frustrated recently because so many KSP videos are just going somewhere in a command seat in a service bay. I recently started playing with life support mods (very much the opposite extreme in terms of design complexity). Life support has been a very rewarding challenge not because you have to remember to bring enough supplies etc, but because it's forcing me to design much larger and more complex vessels to support all of the life support hardware. I'm going to end up building some really cool stuff in order to go interplanetary that I wouldn't have built otherwise. Coming from that perspective, when I see all of these chair videos now I find myself thinking "but... you have no payload". Obviously playing with life support is not for everyone, but it's nice to see someone at least making a point of not unnecessarily doing the most minimalist thing humanly possible.

God I remember when this channel was at 5k subs, you have done great Matt, keep it going

Me coming back to my science class after watching Matt lowne: The expert

Ion engines booring? Preposterous! You sir need to take a gander at “cupcake landers” videos ^^

Onwards and upwards!!!! Go Matt!

Excellent video really. One of the most enjoyable KSP commentators I've come across. You've definitely got my sub!

I follow you for a good while now and i never was disappointed or bored of your videos so i think the happy medium is totally fine :) I totally love your challenge videos and try my best to get at least 10% of your skill. Seeing you failing in some of your videos gives me hope that one day i can reach this target :D

Why do Matt not have over a million subs? *10 Questions Science Cant Explain*

The smallest lander I’ve made weighs 2 tons, and it BARELY worked on the Mün

12:45 when Britain hears a rumor there might be tea on Duna

Wow I can’t even get off of Duna as it is, nice work!

We like it just the way it is. Commentary and video are more dynamic this way, keep it up!

Super challenge: Build everything, launch all rockets at once :D

I just love your voice, it's absolutely perfect! Also thanks for your awesome videos!

i watched the live stream and i loved it :D

‘If I wanted to be proper pro’.Dude you are the smartest and best ksp player you are PRO

I think this and the random stories are the best types of commentary

Pretty neat mission as per usual. Keep up the good work !

Matt, I love your ramblings.

I liked this video, especially, If you could please make more videos like this and with more of the explanations and commentary like you do, I don't mind longer videos.

Hi Matt, i watched a large part of the live stream and i loved it, i hope you can do the livestreams more often but the normal videos are really great as well. Keep up your awesome work mate cheers!

This will always be one of my favourite KSP videos :)

Nice Video Matt, I like your commentary style. keep doing this. And I would like to see more Reddit Challenges in this style. I mean, Livestream about the design and test end the real mission in a commentary or a music video. Blunderbirds is also a nice thing. I hope you are doing a livestream of that. Because your livestreams are just, you know, really funny and nice to watch

"Interact with the viewers on the live-stream" *Cough* *Cough*

I watched the livestream and watched this and did my own version.Matt you da KING

Incredibly smart and informational video, good stuff.

Great video, loved the commentary

Great video can't wait for next weeks video

Mind blown, I can't even rendezvou with my space station..... oof

Best music for a ksp video

How to use RealParachute: 1: download it 2: deez nuts 3: Don't use parachutes, there were miniengines in all those mods

hey matt. I have made it with a huge rocket. I refueled it with a drill car. And so I went back to kerbin.

congrats on 300K subs

Thanks for the video Matt

Still working a duna encounter . But I’m fairly new so there that lol. Love the videos .

Watching them all back through now that they've stopped the weekly challenge!

Matt I missed you, thank you for posting a video

Great build!

Half hour!!! Yes plz ur amazing!!! I have learned how to do so much since I started watching more is better and explain lol!!

Cool video matt

About your commentary I think it's really good just as long as you are knowledgeable about what you're talking about and know what you want to say explain why you're doing certain things I think it's great

that's fucking dope matt nice video

Matt never fails to impress.

This is great

Good music I listened to this song over and over when I was a kid

Tbh I listen to these as a background sound while playing KSP, so I wouldn't mind longer videos at all

You finally did it. You finally used AC/DC music

Been watching a lot of your videos recently, I don't even play KSP tbh. But I thought I would comment here because you were saying that the video was progressing so fast you didn't have time to comment about what was happening as it was happening. To be honest, (and this might just be because I just watch what I think might be interesting and not any tutorials or anything but) I have found that you talking about what is actually happening on the screen is quite a rare occurrence 😂 Not that its really a problem for me, I enjoy the videos regardless. Keep it up. Not even sure you will see this as the vid is over a year old. \o/ Edit: Now Im at the end of the video, i think this video was actually quite good for talking about what was going on honestly.

Great music

I watched your live stream. Nice spacecraft design.

I say take ur time explaining it so ur not rushed. Ur good at it

Not even kidding when he said ion engines would take so long I was half way done with a 15 minute burn💀😂

The best music taste

Ahh Classic Mattlowne.

Matt: orbits duna backwards me: wait, that’s illegal

cant stop thinking about mayonnaise from the intro music

I don't think many KSP players would ever say "Main Terrier engine" at any point of their career.

I love to look of the ship. The golden tanks and the three solar panels are a wonderful touch. I would really like to see more live streams though (only have been to one out of luck). Should I make a reddit account and follow you, good sir?

Watching Matt going to Ike from reversed orbit was so painfull

Great video! Man, your Duna Lander managed to be smaller than my tiny Minmus lander! Impressive! One question: is this KSP 1.3.0 or KSP 1.3.1?

That was *Stronk comrade*

Kerbals being "forgotten" across multiple launch tests is one of the most annoying things in the game.

This is awesome! I love it :D how long did it take you to make those crafts?

When ever I go to land on a planet with a low atmosphere my craft is always moving to the side when I try to land is there any way to fix this ?

I like the current style of commentary :)

Nice roadtrip

You should have kept the tug in orbit so you could reuse it more, and save weight in the fuselage.

Matt: Weight is the name of the game. Me, an intellectual: Actually it’s KSP.

i recently had a mission where i finished to do my node burn (when it was at exactly 0 i ran out of fuel however i had parachutes) 👌

"were not gonna use any monopropellant"... *uses monopropellant to move jebediah as he was saying this

bruh i cant even get into orbit of kerbin lmaoo

Great pace

10/10 song at stage start

One question: Why did you put the tiny fuel tanks on the nose of the command pod rather than have a few of the ring-tanks on the bottom instead? It would have made your splashdown speed a bit lower. If you're interested in requests, I wouldn't mind seeing a 'pimped out' (no mass restriction) version of this mission with some science equipment and data relays. With some minor tweaks of the tanks, you could probably do a bit more with this basic concept; it would likely be suitable for Dres and maybe even Vall (whilst being fantastically excessive for Minmus).

Disabling the tanks individually was an idea I put in chat during the livestream but I guess you didn't see it lol

Hey Matt, great work! I was wondering how much did all 5 launches cost? (You may have said it in the video and i missed it, so sorry if i did)

How do you get your docking ports to snap together soo nicely almost every time i try even if im 98% direct on, the other craft almost always goes into a spin from the bounce of docking

Wait wait wait. YOU LIKE ACDC?! NOW I LIKE YOU EVEN MORE (if back in black at the beginning was just randomly chosen, i still love you c:)

7:12 me laughing about my building skills

good song

Also when I do land the landing legs have there feet folded in so it’s real wobbly any way to fix that too

I now want to see an ssto to laythe and eeloo without mining

I've asked this a bunch of times before but what skybox is that? It's gorgeous.

why didnt you use the fuel in the lander to do the ike burn? like, flip the craft and use the engine from the lander to do the burn and then flip around again to finish

I like longer videos especially with ksp

Awesome video! I have a question about your transfer at 9:28 - how is it so quick? (~75 days) I can never get my transfer under ~150 days.
