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

I hope that makes sense. I think it will be worth it though! And both videos I think are going to be great! I've pasted a screenshot of the script for the relay network tutorial video to give you an idea of the scale of it (normally my "scripts" are about 5 bullet-points)...continued below

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

The reason I use the thumbnail generator is just to get some ideas, sometimes it does come up with a better design that what I created. The key difference though is that I then go back and stage/recreate the AI thumb in-game and in photoshop, rather than just slap the slop on.

Matt Lowne @mattlowne.bsky.social · 26/07/2026

This is also the reason btw that so many YouTubers have obviously AI-generated thumbnails, YouTube generates them for you. It sucks lol

Don't boast about yourself being a "doctor" to the world if you just block anyone that questions your factually-ridiculous claims.

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

Yep. Wonder how all the "enlightened" people on here would feel about us still being dependent on Soyuz to reach the ISS. Then again I have seen unhinged people on here think Elon is worse than Putin, which is absurd.

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

And instead of using their academic prowess to counter a peer review, instead they just block. Not unexpected. People like this being shame on academia

170

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

I find it ironic that someone who incorporates their doctorate qualifications into their username also doesn't allow direct replies to their posts, so nobody can peer review them. I've never felt compelled to include my academic titles to my profiles because it comes off as cringe quite frankly.

Nothing about landing on the moon is safe tbf. Starship is awesome and will be incredible once it enters service, let's not deny that. I just can't understand the cult-like obsession some people have with it.

010

Matt Lowne @mattlowne.bsky.social · 04/06/2026

Elon literally congratulated Jeff and Blue Origin after New Glenn's success. Meanwhile people on Twitter were having meltdowns over Starship (still only a prototype btw) actually being better. You know it's bad when Elon Musk is the positive example of how to behave on the internet 😂

0171

Matt Lowne @mattlowne.bsky.social · 04/06/2026

Whenever I make a post even slightly critical (or just expressing disappointment in a test/launch failure) I get multiple insults and personal attacks from people defending an inanimate steel object lmao. Starship doesn't mind what people on Twitter think. It's a rocket.

1200

Matt Lowne @mattlowne.bsky.social · 04/06/2026

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

No you don't understand it was entirely new vehicle that is completely unlike v2 so obviously it was gonna fail, all new rockets always fail, v3 is a brand new rocket, other rockets don't even land at all. No I've never heard of Falcon 9 Block 5

1130

Matt Lowne @mattlowne.bsky.social · 22/05/2026

It's a bit pedantic to assert that the A4 and V2 were different vehicles.

110

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

Yes. But Goddard absolutely did build rockets with the engine at the back (rear/thrust end) long before the V2. The V2 was just the first to cross the Karman line

120

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
