Nobody's crazy enough to land a full Saturn V upside down in Mars using RSS, right? Right?!

I added "LIGHTS" as last part of my rocket build checklist because I also ended doing allot in the dark. Could help with the pitch black landing and docking.

6:30 Naturally, should you want to bring this contraption into compliance with the original challenge, it's as simple as viewing the thing as a face of a clock, moving the helper rockets to either the 3 or 9 o'clock position (instead of their current 12 o'clock position) on said imaginary clock face, turning the rocket motors up from there, and the process of launching remains exactly the same. So in my opinion, even though as created it fails the compliance test, the simplicity of bringing it into compliance makes it a non issue.

It’s an, a is not grammatically correct.

The ten hundred words text editor is still live if any of y'all wanna make your own up-goer-five-style descriptions of complex things or processes.

Quick! While it is still possible, you must rescue the kerbals on Jool before pressure and thermodynamics are invented! I want to see how you would get them out of that thick atmosphere and heavy gravity.

6:30 you just could have mounted the rotating boosters to the left, so it points downwards and stil turns you

I think the brightness filter just washed out the contrast by turning black into grey. You want a filter that maps (0, 0, 0) to (0, 0, 0) but scales up faster, mapping (50, 50, 50) to (255, 255, 255) or the like. You might be able to bump up both contrast and brightness to get the effect, but I'd look for a proper color curves filter

That makes sense. I thought it sounded like something out of Anglish, which is an attempt to create an English language with no foreign influence. (It's a ridiculous goal, but taking out the Norman French influence and later weirdness makes some sense.) As I understand it, the most commonly used words are amongst the least influenced.

"segway" is a two wheeled vehicle. You are looking for "segue". :)

Did the devs stop to consider the irony of a "most cursed rocket challenge"??!? For the past 10 months I've been waiting to be able to build a rocket that ISN'T cursed.

"Scratching your heads thinking what is Matt going to do" in this video called "Building an Upside-down Rocket in Kerbal Space Program" HMMMMM gosh yes I am flummoxed! xD

Re: the aquatic science node. I'm pretty sure a recent devlog has confirmed that this includes some sort of diving bell, that being the piece you also talked about in your initial For Science coverage.

It was an honor partaking in the glorious thumbnail vote. When do we get the wide kerman walking video?

BTW the author of XKCD is Randall Munroe, author of How to, What it? and What if? 2

13:36 as an australian i can confirm this is how we land

I thought you were making a christmas tree for launch

They really posted that challenge like the game itself wasn't enough of a curse on your rocket already

I never use maneuver nodes for mun missions. it's just always seemed less complicated to eyeball it, but I still use maneuver nodes for interplanetary missions of course.

This game is gorgeous!

the creator of XKCD is Randall Munroe (I hope I spelled it right), just in case you were wondering.

How about a tethered rocket, similar to podracers? Or a Doctor Evil Space Program, with Dick Rockets launching Boob satellites and finally setting up an Evil Lair on the Mun?

"Space launch is the earliest part of a flight that reaches space. Space launch involves liftoff." You did not have liftoff with the engines facing down, therefore you did not have a proper space launch and have failed the challenge.

Up Goer Five is from XKCD's book "How To," where he explains things while only using the 1000 most common words on the English language

Randall from XKCD used to work at NASA. Admittedly it was on robotics not rocketry, but still NASA.

I for one love the editing flair. It was a great way to start the day.

Great video, I found multiple parts quite entertaining...can tell you put a lot of work into these.

When I was watching this I was sitting in a cursed way

Opinions on a podcast? I would definitley listen to Matt and guests waffle on for an hour

"Vibe" has been coming and going since the 60s. It's both before my time and after my time. I appreciate the conversational tone. 👍 The twists were a lot of fun too :)

Thank you so much for putting in the time to make these videos they always make my day

This was excellent. One of your best

The other good thing about For Science! is that now you'll be able to rebirth Lowne Aerospace!

The wheel thing works. Used it to load an asteroid onto the top of a rocket and launch it back to orbit.

The fact that matt literally has to speed up footage to hide lag and make the game watchable is comedic

The stupid and irrelevant tangents during mission crucial moments are what make these videos worth watching

That was very fun to watch. Your content is always 100% 👍

If you ever end up going back to KSP1 a "permanent" Eve base would be really cool. Something where kerbals could shuttle down for science excursions to the planet's surface then return to orbit to process the science and return it to Kerbin.

You could've used the water to have the rocket float on flotation devices attached to a point around the top of the rocket so it would turn around and sit in the water rightside-up

14:02 liwally getting sturdy

I feel like the Tim Dodd tie-in was sorely underutilized. Flamey side up, pointy side down for life

The shot you're looking for is a panning shot, great video!

Honestly, as someone who wants to launch rockets into space, KSP2 makes me intrested with the potential and cringe with the condition of the game.

14:03 jebidiah Kerman hits the griddy

i don't mind sitting through matt's sponsorships. he's so smart with the transitions between the video and the sponsorship segment.

I like the fish stick commentary, to heck with the people that have gold fish attention spans!

well that's another way to launch upside down

Technically the flamey bits were point down at launch. They were pointing up at spawn.

My goodness you got me good with that segue

As an Aussie I label this with the kangaroo seal of Australian.

Kudos for the smooth ad transition 👌

There's a real life application for this somewhere.

Space X taking notes for starship:

What a video Matt, it made my day. HAHAHA

i liked this specifically because of the everyday astronaut and high elon memes during launch.

This is pretty damn cursed. I think Tyler Raiz accidentally may win this contest however, if he unironically submits his Mars City flying spaghetti monster

It says 27 mins ago, it’s been several hours

Ah, the old Technical Doo-Dah Panning Shot !

that picture was from "Thing Explainer"

The tangents are definitely your thing. They're welcome and encouraged!

If you don't want to do an Apollo-style mission, try doing a N1-style mission ^^

I think to *truly* challenge the XKCD comic, it should be done with a replica of the saturn V and not some custom rocket

In order to make this fit the rules of the challenge you can just rotate the rotation engines so they are ‘up’ but still rotated enough to provide a turning force. I may be wrong but this is my interpretation of the challenge

This is how rockets work in Australia

Refried beans are so good. Why did i have to become poor to discover something so awesome

Protip for getting your wheel to roll better. Offset the Center of Gravity from the geometric center of the wheel. If you make the center of the wheel sit below the C.G. the wheel will naturally roll so the C.G is below the center of the wheel. Either a large weight, such as fuel tank placed at the top of the circle, or offsetting the rocket in a circle who's circumference is appriciably lather than the rocket's height would work. For bonus points use a n oval shape that will naturally want to come to rest pointing upward.

these videos never fail to make me smile

Would have been more cursed if you landed the service module instead.

12:27 for science got it a review rating polarity flip

I was surprised you didn't just install an old version of KSP2 and then build a normal rocket.

I assumed the cursed part was making it in KSP2.

16:40 you could do a whisky review

When fire go up fire no go space but fire go space when fire go up but turn down? 🤯🤯🤯

I live in shared accommodation don't be worried everybody likes different things for a reason, I so can't wait for my ps5 to have ksp2 on

Will Aquatic science include a fish fingers module?

Made it to mars for the first time in ksp 2

Woke up Qeued new Matt Lowne video Saw kerbals land upside down on the Mun, plant flag, hit the griddy and leave…I think todays gonna be a good day

Did he just say that there’s water on eve how have I not known about this

make it a pendullum, between 4 towers.

But when you technically Launched your engines were facing down

It still amazes me how poorly this runs on a 4090

Least kerbal kerbal rocket of kerbal

World champion Matt strikes again! ❤

R. I. P old thumbnails

Bro found a mun arch on accident

I mean... It wouldn't have been hard to put those rotation boosters on one side to be pointing down.

Wait wait wait, the challenge is technically wrong, you turn the rocket around meaning that the engine is still pointing down!

now try it again in the water and see if it works with the new boyancy
