New KSP video! How do relays, comms, scanners, etc. WORK in KSP?? All of this and more will be answered with today's video, where I take on the challenge of presenting a complete guide to Relays, CommNet, Remote-control and KerbNet! Enjoy! youtu.be/N4AjzRlRnh0

New KSP video! Today, I set up a Keostationary (i.e. Geostationary but it's Kerbin not Earth) satellite network, and show you how you can to, without the need for any mods! Enjoy! youtu.be/e9qxKAx96yU

New KSP video, playing Toy Solar System! This mod makes all the planets in 1/10 scale, with Kerbin having a tiny 60km radius and 7km atmosphere 🥺 Oh, and the Kerbals who exist in this tiny scale system are of course known as Decakerbals! youtu.be/Az3GYcae-Zk

This is crazy lol I posted a video last Saturday about the Green Monoliths in KSP, and how they're essentially impossible to find without KerbNET (I'd never even seen one before after playing the game for >11 years) And then, while filming this week's video....I found a Green Monolith by accident 🤐

Matt Lowne @mattlowne.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

New KSP video 🚀 One of the biggest secrets in KSP are the 15 hidden green monoliths, that spawn in random places every game, making them almost impossible to find. But only ALMOST impossible! Using the power of KerbNET, we can FINALLY track one down! youtu.be/8LCPpsaBYsY

Why Nobody Finds The Green Monoliths in KSP

Matt Lowne @mattlowne.bsky.social · 27/08/2026

Sorry chaps, it's looking like I won't have a video ready for this Saturday. My plan was to release my "Comprehensive guide on how CommNET and KerbNET function in Kerbal Space Program, or: how the heck do relays work in KSP" (the title is a work in progress)...continued below

Matt Lowne @mattlowne.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

New KSP video! 🚀 I subjected myself to one of the most stressful challenges (for me): live commentary, no cuts or edits, flying a mission to #KSP's furthest planet Apollo-style and returning safely back home ☄ And...this may have nearly broken me 💀 youtu.be/mPm5ALed5VE

New KSP video! My Blunderbirds series is a parody of Thunderbirds, and there's a mod that lets you to make a stockalike version of the MOST iconic Thunderbirds vehicle, that being Thunderbird 2! Yes, we’re taking a look at Nertea’s amazing Mark IV Spaceplane System mod! youtu.be/ETsnzd2UDPg

New #KSP video! 👽 A redditor pulled-off an amazing Tekto mission, but unfortunately had a landing mishap that resulted in Jebediah Kerman being left behind on the Tekto shores. And we can't stand for that, and so I launched a rescue mission! 🚀 🪐 youtu.be/aRcDP4My5dw

For those that don't know, YouTube studio will now generated AI thumbnails for you to use on your videos. This is what it suggested for the video I posted yesterday 😭

Matt Lowne @mattlowne.bsky.social · 25/07/2026

New KSP video! Today there are two missions to do: recover Valentina Kerman from the Mun using a VTOL dropship shuttle, and return a deep-space research spaceplane to the Kerbal Space Centre after over 4 years in space! youtu.be/Ite3t-jSlbg

New KSP video! What if the SLS had Saturn V engines instead of SRBs? I recreated the SLS Pyrios concept, and explored the surprising fact that KSP actually includes a stock replica of this engine! It's the SLS the way the KERBALS intended it! youtu.be/L3kn8Z1hS0I

You've Been Building the SLS in KSP WRONG

New KSP video! Concorde was one of the greatest machines ever built, so I decided to recreate it in Kerbal Space Program, but turn it into a prestigious passenger SSTO that can take tourists to the surface of the MUN! youtu.be/U5BZyVoH1xo

New video! I’ve built lots of Space Stations in KSP, including a full-size International Space Station, albeit Kerbal Scale. But what IS "Kerbal Scale"? I'll take a look at 3 Station orbits that reveal the SCALE of Earth compared to Kerbin to find out! youtu.be/PqydnXpC2Rg

New KSP video! Let's recreate Project Hail Mary! But BOOK-ACCURATE! PHM is probably my favourite film of 2026. So, let's recreate the film's namesake - the Hail Mary spacecraft! Except, y'know, it's book accurate and all! youtu.be/KKKtEosnf9w

Excuse me what the fuck is this, YouTube? I wanted to watch a Lemmino video (the GOAT btw), but when I search his name the site literally suggests I watch a yapper """reacting""" to Lemino's videos INSTEAD OF actually showing me Lemmino's actual videos. Who tf came up with this

Matt Lowne @mattlowne.bsky.social · 16/06/2026

we did it boys

Matt Lowne @mattlowne.bsky.social · 15/06/2026

Here's a cool screenshot showing the scale of Kerbal Space Program vs Real Life. The blue orbit is the diameter of Earth. The yellow orbit is the ISS's orbit.

Matt Lowne @mattlowne.bsky.social · 13/06/2026

...and then Falcon 9 proceeded to become the legend that it is. We can accept Musk is a shit person but pretending that what SpaceX have achieved is "pointless" is incredibly stupid and only playing to SpaceX's advantage.

Matt Lowne @mattlowne.bsky.social · 13/06/2026

New KSP video! I recreated the DC-X SSTO in Kerbal Space Program. And it did better than NASA ever could have dreamed! youtu.be/IgziiAwhj40

The replies to this [Twitter post] are an example of the bizarreness of how so many people have unhealthy emotional attachments to Starship. It's like a cult of personality but it's a rocket I can't think of any other vehicle/thing like it tbh. You can be excited about more than 1 thing lol

Matt Lowne @mattlowne.bsky.social · 30/05/2026

New KSP video! ✈ ➡ 🚀 Today in Kerbal Space Program, I build a...questionable...moon launch system, with the rocket launching from inside a giant aircraft mid-flight straight out like a flying missile silo! The design is very safe btw youtu.be/sKCZ7uouQ7E

New KSP video! 🚀 Let us imagine an alternate history where Robert Goddard’s original rocket design was never questioned, and then take it to its absolute extreme: a fully reusable SSTO pendulum rocket, that can carry Kerbals to the Mun and back! 🚀 🌑 youtu.be/0l3xnYyGB4o

KSP: I Built a Rocket Using DEBUNKED Physics!

YouTube video by Matt Lowne

Matt Lowne @mattlowne.bsky.social · 21/05/2026

NASA should make rockets like this, so that mass of the craft keeps the rocket stable like a pendulum. Are they stupid

Matt Lowne @mattlowne.bsky.social · 16/05/2026

New KSP video! I tackled a crazy contract in KSP career mode, which demands us to visit the Mun, Duna, Jool, Ike, Gilly and Eve in just one launch! And to make things harder, I accepted a few more contracts to complete along the way! youtu.be/OIyocTZL96w

New KSP video! I built the most overengineered Duna mission possible: stock parts and realistic-size rockets only to build a HUGE interplantary spacecraft (complete wtih food/H₂O supplies), without nuclear engines or the ability to transfer fuel! Enjoy! youtu.be/ZNMY01m2TJ0

New Blunderbirds video! Fitting to be rescuing people right now, as KSP has one of the highest new player counts it’s ever had, so lot of folks are getting stuck in lots of places. Like these 3! Let's attempt back-to-back rescues...what could go wrong? youtu.be/Uz9EPeSq7BA

KSP has seen a surge of new players after Artemis II, with many new players sharing first orbits and moon landings online! And that made me nostalgic, so I revisited my 2014 screenshots folder, and found my first Duna lander! How badly does it hold up? youtu.be/Ao1QCUQ6g0E

April 2026 is looking amazing for launches, if nothing gets delayed beyond the end of the month then we got SLS, New Glenn, Falcon Heavy, Ariane 6, Long March 10B, and Atlas V all in the same month!

Matt Lowne @mattlowne.bsky.social · 18/04/2026

10 years ago I posted a video of me building a Space Station in KSP, and it remains my most-viewed ever! With the recent boom in KSP players, I thought it'd be fun to build another station to showcase how much the game (+ mods!) has changed since then! youtu.be/4Gmue8_1_EE

More than 10 years after it released, Kerbal Space Program's steam player count just hit a new all-time record 🎉 The Artemis effect is strong

Matt Lowne @mattlowne.bsky.social · 13/04/2026

This is a 9 year old game btw. Yet to go on sale.

Matt Lowne @mattlowne.bsky.social · 13/04/2026

I started writing a script for a "short video idea" I had...it began as a "top tips for KSP", but it has quickly ballooned into over 70 tips and 6000 words lol

Matt Lowne @mattlowne.bsky.social · 11/04/2026

New video! To celebrate #ArtemisII, I decided to recreate the Space Launch System + Orion Spacecraft in stock #KSP as accurately as possible, but fulfil the #Artemis objectives WAY faster and in FAR fewer launches! 🚀🚀 youtu.be/zeHPUMiq2jk

New #KSP video! I'll be taking to the skies aboard a Space Shuttle, built almost entirely from parts created by the talented Benjee10, from his Shuttle Orbiter Construction Kit and reDIRECT mods! Enjoy! youtu.be/C3UkbcwhlF0

It's finally time - in this video, and let me make it explicitly clear, I install the mod Real Solar System for Kerbal Space Program 1, and proceed to play it. I definitely do not suffer an existential crisis. Definitely. youtu.be/M_dy_iCSKMY

New video, posting a little earlier this week! I explore one #KSP 's hidden secrets - a towering, razor-sharp ice mountain at Duna’s north pole, in a quest to uncover one of the game's most unique landscapes...and the weird mathematics that caused it! youtu.be/9_LwcLcVM3w

Not a fan of this new YouTube AI feature nobody asked for. I want my interactions with my audience to be genuine, not AI-generated slop. And if viewers know this "feature" exists it could minimise the impact a reply from the creator makes, knowing it could just be gen slop.

Matt Lowne @mattlowne.bsky.social · 07/03/2026

Is it possible to build a SSTO with only the first 4 tiers of Kerbal Space Program’s tech tree? And, can we make it Minmus and Mun capable? As in, can it land on the Mun and Minmus on its mission? Hmmmmm... youtu.be/Tbo1t30dyV4

How Far Can the LOWEST-TECH SSTO Go in KSP?

YouTube video by Matt Lowne

Matt Lowne @mattlowne.bsky.social · 23/02/2026

UI changes that nobody asked for no. 32474 🙃 There used to be 3 tabs to show latest, oldest &/or most popular videos of a YT channel, it's now latest, members-only, & public. The other options are now in a drop-down menu. Not life-changing but still seems annoying & pointless

Matt Lowne @mattlowne.bsky.social · 21/02/2026

New KSP video! I built a stock SSTO to visit my Mun Spaceport's runway and landing site. How hard can it be? What could go wrong? youtu.be/tGn9pLZRkE8

KSP: This almost wasn't possible...
