Couldn't have said it better myself, the many hours of competition shouldn't be out of the picture, the many processes and man hours on it should be felt through the footage. Makes it all much more rewarding at the end too.

Seeing the variety of solutions was much more interesting than seeing who could "do X" the fastest. I would love to see more events like this in the future.
Hey BsamohT, thanks a lot for organising this kind of event, it's amazing to know competitions like this exist and are pretty well done ! By any chance, were you guys using KSRSS for the planet mode ?

Now we can begin actually playing!
Bonjours, je crois qu'il n'y avis que l'équipe de Matt qui n'étais pas Français il me semble, l'évènement est encore jeune et ne demande qu'a s'exporter a l'international :)
Congratulations! You did a very good job of recreating the Ares program plus. All you needed to do was maroon a Kerbal and rescue them to truly hit every single ‘knocking it out of the park’ score :-) Also, congrats to everyone else who took part - KSP esports is a very odd idea, but it’s also very cool and doubtless contributing to helping people learn :-)
Then stratzenblitzen and bradley whistance showed up and did the same mission with 5 parts and 267m/s of delta-V. Robotank uses chatgpt to become real and steals your identity regardless of the video sponsor. Great job man, good video. Thanks for this content.
You guys deserve the win, you did amazingly. I can't imagine being able to do a tenth of what you did in the time you had, this is probably the most impressive thing I've ever seen you do.
I loved this video! The increased information and raw footage was insanely awesome! I found it very informative and has given me some inspiration for things to do in Ksp!
When I saw beardy penguins videos I was shocked when I heard it was realism overhaul but it was stock scale :( you almost played rss which would have been hilarious
What my brain should be thinking about: "Ah yes, KSP can be an esport." What it's actually thinking about: "Wait, so a Falcon 9 could take a heavy rover 1/8 the way to the Moon?" 🙂
21:00 "simulated reuse". Ngl I do this all the time on my saves. If nothings time dependent, I just alter the persistent file and fill up instead of grinding multiple trips.
Awesome video Matt! I have always loved KSP but this competition feels like it adds a whole new depth to the game. Hopefully we will see the return of the bearded brits some day.
That sir is a really good job ! Well done for your victory ! Did you know if we can find somewhere the contest rules, mission specs, list of mods, etc ... for redoing it by our own ?
Congratulations. Excellent job. Need more content from you like this. It always amazes me how great you are at this game. Thanks to BP for joining you on this epic mission.
Amazing performace! Your win was well deserved. I didn't mind the longer video, it was put together well. Makes for an interesting challenge to try to beat for the rest of us as well.
Very nice video presentation ! Really cool to be able to discover in detail your entire project, the method of progression, and the details of the technical choices you made to win - with a large lead - this competition.🤩
@@sonicsupersam7793 i think ssto's (at least of the spaceplane type) can use less fuel per amount of mass to orbit since they can use airbreathing engines
@ 32:52 "KSP can't show the orbit that far ahead when encountering multiple S.O.I.s" You can get KSP to show the next segment of the orbital path by dropping a maneuver node in the segment inside the new SOI. . For example you encounter the moon, so to see how your orbit will look on the other side you can drop a node in the segment of the orbit that is in the Moon's SOI.
As an aussie, in my limited experience, aussie english isnt installed and I normally have to choose between UK & US, usually depending if I want colour or color / mum or mom
I have always been able to use reusable rockets by landing them on the next continent and since it's far enough I would be able to get the upper stage into orbit before going back to the first stage and landing it
I think with the amount of realism in this event, they would want to calculate, or at least factor in, the cost of retrieval. If you had to lug that across the planet, you'd be spending even more money on the project than necessary. Solo in game: great idea. Real life: Not exactly the most practical.
Sounds a bit like he's saying "the weird Brits" at the end 😂😂 this has definitely made me want to follow Ollie's page too! I'm glad you included the things you did for this mission. I'm much earlier in the game in my career save, now that I've come back to the game (it's been like 10 years since I first tried it haha), so I'm still figuring a lot of things out, but I have lots of ideas! So a few of the things you've shown here, like the docking port in a hinged/rotating arm has really helped me understand how that would work. It was also really cool to see the "inflating" hab module. :) and the fact that a lower stage you can land and reuse is actually a possibility in the game! Thank you both for getting my creative energy flowing! I can't wait to try some of these out. :) I've been hoping to get a lot better at not creating space debris in the game too. Just don't quite know how to deal with the stuff I've already created, without having a lot more tech unlocked.
Wel Done Matt!!!!! amazing adventure in RL and in Game, the in game plan was incredible! Your understanting of the game, space mechanics and construccion infrastructure ability was outstanding as usual in all your videos. All also possible with the help of a pro!
Congratulations, you have created a beautiful project, satisfying the requests and even exceeding them. The next step is to do it in the full-scale solar system. Anyway, congratulations again, you made me discover that KSP competitions exist.

Well done, I wouldn't have expected anything less from you, after all in the fashion of Isambard Kingdom Brunel overengineering is what we Brits do. Your mission has given me ideas of what to do next in KSP.
Well done for winning. You missed a trick with the edit of this one though I think... Should have used some split screen and the clock from the show "24" 😃
Ok but actually It is very impressive that you guys dealt with the Language Input Barrier for nearly an hour and still managed to Quadruple the Tonnage delivered No matter that you guys do this professionally
@MattLowne Wow what an epic tale! I noticed that when you were building the Falcon 9 you used the engine plate EP-37, when you right click on it you have way more options than i did, so i went on a search to find out....i had advanced tweakables turned off, so that gave me the same options for the engine plate, was still an absolute pain getting the engines on but eventually it worked, however you then added the G-12L Aligator Hinge, and once again you have more options to set the angle, and the hinge moves in time to your settings, is there another setting i should have turned on?
Congratulations 🎉 but then, i had no doubt you would win , even if it wasn't in the title! I've watched your channel for years and know what you are capable of! Well done bruv 👍😃👍
Hey man, video felt like it was 20m! It was awesome! Thanks for keeping in your full presentation at the end, I always want to get into KSP then i rememeber thats its usually more enjoyable watching people who are wayyyy better than me do all this math stuff 😂
This was brilliant. Never through of eaports on this way but it works so well - to the ortanisers well done, I hope your event keep growing! Matt, basically uou guys were racibg against yourselves but never the less an amazing performance, really enjoyed the video too. Never srress about legnth when the content is this good.
(Im an organizer) This was considered, as for RSS, but in the end this would have made the challenge way to hard and specialized. People without principia experience would have struggled to even get anything going in 24hours, while the goal of the event is still to have fun.
After leaving vanilla towards rss and ro principia this challenges are for me missing a lot of real stuff. I couldnt go back to vanilla its just too easy.
one small tip for RSS moon launches, angle is everything! when launching, align the moon orbit in the middle of the earth on the map screen and wait for the launch site (any site) to be in the middle of the earth and moon orbit line, then you might have to play a bit with the normal/anti-normal to align the orbit line for a few tries. (to actually save the fuel from launch on the ground) that can take the launch Delta V from 4000 to 3000 in normal RSS to get to the moon! considering a moon mission is near 20k Delta V your mission in normal RSS might have taken like 40k, so saving 1k here and there do add up! (just the earth capture on return you would be going 13k to 15k m/s so those extra 1k Delta V would have been used there!) tho i must point out that parts weight in normal KSP is REALLY on heavy side but the ISP is correct, they added mass since parts joints bends less with more mass and planets are 10x smaller, having more mass uses more fuel. (i play stock RSS with stock part but with a custom mod that makes parts weight 1/3 mass, a good mix of realism and fun plus i use FAR but raised the parts drag tolerances so they blow up less and in line with stock.)

It was France, the layout would have been azerty. I don't know if ctrl+shift would have worked anyway.
@@eekee6034yes it does, and it’s extremely annoying when I try to chat and I start saying: hq;;er
Very cool competition, it warms my heart that this kind of event exists, more competitive KSP please! ☺️
Who knew the all time ksp youtuber and a space engineer actually won the ksp esports
Great video and awesome to see how much you went above and beyond :D
Congratulations! Very impressive. I think you and Beardy Penguin should start your own esports competition for KSP.
Call it “Kraken Slayer.”
Well done, both the competition and this video.
Well, thank you for the long video, I guess? It was really fun to follow your journey and the thought that went into it. Congrats for the win!!
This is definitely one of the best, most rewatchable videos I think you've ever done.
Thanks a lot Matt for the content we hope soon to get newer harder tournaments i enjoyed watching every second of this video
Ok but actually It is very impressive that you guys dealt with the Language Input Barrier for nearly an hour and still managed to Quadruple the Tonnage delivered
No matter that you guys do this professionally
During the presentation, you looked like u wanted to fall back and sleep 🤣🤣🤣
Congrats Matt and Ollie
bloody heavens! quite the triumph if you ask me!
@MattLowne Wow what an epic tale! I noticed that when you were building the Falcon 9 you used the engine plate EP-37, when you right click on it you have way more options than i did, so i went on a search to find out....i had advanced tweakables turned off, so that gave me the same options for the engine plate, was still an absolute pain getting the engines on but eventually it worked, however you then added the G-12L Aligator Hinge, and once again you have more options to set the angle, and the hinge moves in time to your settings, is there another setting i should have turned on?
My fear of heights just makes my muscles just tense up from looking at your video from the Eifel tower (even though I've been up there twice xD).
When you think about this is actually matt playing rss for real
"Yankee Doodle Do Language" XD
Congratulations 🎉 but then, i had no doubt you would win , even if it wasn't in the title! I've watched your channel for years and know what you are capable of! Well done bruv 👍😃👍
Hey man, video felt like it was 20m! It was awesome! Thanks for keeping in your full presentation at the end, I always want to get into KSP then i rememeber thats its usually more enjoyable watching people who are wayyyy better than me do all this math stuff 😂
This was brilliant. Never through of eaports on this way but it works so well - to the ortanisers well done, I hope your event keep growing! Matt, basically uou guys were racibg against yourselves but never the less an amazing performance, really enjoyed the video too. Never srress about legnth when the content is this good.
They should’ve had the contestants use principia because (as I understand it) the missions were supposed to be very realistic
Changing the physics engine is quite questionable. It is a KSP competition so you want the game feel to stay the same.
@@dark6.63E-34 and people who already used the mod in the past would have an advantage as everyone else would have to get used to n body physics
(Im an organizer) This was considered, as for RSS, but in the end this would have made the challenge way to hard and specialized. People without principia experience would have struggled to even get anything going in 24hours, while the goal of the event is still to have fun.
@@averiWonBTW yeah. Basically the main goal is to measure ksp skill with the ksp physics engine. Changing the engine doesn't make sense.
After leaving vanilla towards rss and ro principia this challenges are for me missing a lot of real stuff. I couldnt go back to vanilla its just too easy.
Now that, that was GOOD!
hats off for you Sir. 24 compressed into 53 minutes
one small tip for RSS moon launches, angle is everything! when launching, align the moon orbit in the middle of the earth on the map screen and wait for the launch site (any site) to be in the middle of the earth and moon orbit line, then you might have to play a bit with the normal/anti-normal to align the orbit line for a few tries. (to actually save the fuel from launch on the ground)
that can take the launch Delta V from 4000 to 3000 in normal RSS to get to the moon! considering a moon mission is near 20k Delta V your mission in normal RSS might have taken like 40k, so saving 1k here and there do add up! (just the earth capture on return you would be going 13k to 15k m/s so those extra 1k Delta V would have been used there!)
tho i must point out that parts weight in normal KSP is REALLY on heavy side but the ISP is correct, they added mass since parts joints bends less with more mass and planets are 10x smaller, having more mass uses more fuel. (i play stock RSS with stock part but with a custom mod that makes parts weight 1/3 mass, a good mix of realism and fun plus i use FAR but raised the parts drag tolerances so they blow up less and in line with stock.)
Well the positive thing about cloudy and foggy Eifel Tower is that you cannot see the ground. Was once there and it was also windy and rainy.
