Enjoy! Any suggestions for things you'd like to see in the space station let me know! Send me pics of modules you designed as well if you want on twitter (@Matt_Lowne)
Make a video with a craft reaching Mach 5 Without heat shields and radiators! (i did this twice) there is a mod to switch the navball speed indicator from m/s to mach if you intend to do this, good luck!
Jeb will have a lot of interesting stories to tell his grandchildren. About emergencies, near-death encounters and even strandings, for example, *the one time he used an asteroid as both a heatshield AND a parachute.*
*Ship*: This is the asteroid capturer to base, we're pulling this thing in to LKO. Say, 350 meters sound good? *Base*: 350k? *Ship*: We're Kerbals. 350 meters.
Well I made horizon with a crew in base no dlc game It was for an asteroid landing It was soooo faraway that I couldn’t get solar power (I put 1 rtg on it) It took 27 years for it to go next to the sun
The asteroid was only going 130m/s when it impacted. That is not an extinction level event. What makes an asteroid dangerous is hitting the earth with inter planetary speeds.
Matt. You seriously need more attention. 70K is not enough. You have way more technological attention and better reasoning than I ever would playing KSP. I'd never be able to do what you do in a week and yet still have the energy to capture not one, but TWO asteroids! This video is amazing!
I propose a challenge to matt. objective is to go to another planet with oceans and make a floating base in the planet using inflatable heat shields as buoyancy.
Matt Lowne ino what you mean. I tried once but messed up the landing so it fell over and couldnt get it back up but I think I'm goanna try it again soon.
I love that little plane icon! I just imagined what it would be like if you actually were on an airplane, fell asleep, and then woke up and saw you were in space and there was a magic green asteroid out your window! XD
A few versions ago, Magic Boulders spawn in as random rare asteroids. They come in a variety of colours, But you need to find 'em. I remember when i was with The Engadine, and i was pushing random rocks around with Whack-A-Kerbal when i found a special rock. A magic one.
i wouldn't mind you going normal speed as you enter kerbins atmosphere with intense music and keeping us at the edge of our chairs wondering if kerbins end up surviving xD its alll exciting
The most efficient way to return from a bad angle like you did would be to use a gravity assist from the mun, which would also reduce your periapsis, and you wouldn't need even close to as much fuel.
I love how you couldn't survive reentry normally so you just took an asteroid making it a meteor and using that as a shield. Absolutly great video keep it up!
As fare as long burns are concerned, it puts a lot of stress on materials and operating systems, the shorter the burn the better. If ship systems were specifically designed for 'long burns' these would be preferred.
Aerobraking with asteroids is a massive fuel saver! Grab it from as far out as you can, try to match the plane to 0 degrees with Kerbin, drop it down to Kerbin periapsis of 40km or so and let the atmosphere chop down the apoapsis for you. Then once it's low, you just need to wait around until apoapsis and then lift the periapsis back out to above 70km and you're good to go.
I captured a comet into LKO when one came close enough to Kerbin. Biggest mistake ever, since it fogged up everything nearby, and since comets are rare I didn't want to take the easy way out and simply drop it down to Kerbin so I went through the effort of sending it to orbit the Sun instead. That was expensive, considering I was playing in career mode.
4 klaws .... and that didn't cause metric tons of Kraken ... KSP physics really have improved since the last time I touched the spacerocks. And I'm not sure that little of the spacecraft remaining constitutes a "good landing".
I have been tracking an asteroid named suwise 1 for a while, it is in a high sun orbit, very very far at it's highest point, offset quite a bit. I can't wait!!
A size class A managed to get into a stable Kerbin Orbit of 2-20 thousand kilometers. It only took about 10k Delta v to bring it down to around 300k meters.
matt, can i have your e-mail by any chance? i have some craft files i would like to see their full potential from, and some of them are easy/fun to fly👍
Well I made horizon with a crew in base no dlc game It was for an asteroid landing It was soooo faraway that I couldn’t get solar power (I put 1 rtg on it) It took 27 years for it to go next to the sun
I managed to build an North American X-15 with high altitude drop aircraft that is so powerful that it could launch the X-15 into orbit. So it's almost like a Two Stage To Orbit or 'TSTO'. I also have a challenge for you Matt, could you attempt to use the KerBalloons mod to capture and asteroid and take it to Kerbin. Then with the balloons while the asteroid is in free fall towards Kerbins surface you deploy the balloons and let asteroid float in Kerbins atmosphere for 10 minutes.
For me, If i dont have much fuel i just go to my AP then set my PE to about 30k meters, about 50 deltaV then aerobrake 2-3 times to make it even then just low the PE a bit. Oh, And asteroids make awesome heat shields lol
Scientist with years of experience: Sir we have 0.000000000000001% percent of fuel left!! we can't make it to mars! Matt: Not enough for mars? Wanna go to the Andromeda galaxy then? we have enough

Make a video with a craft reaching Mach 5
Without heat shields and radiators!
(i did this twice)
there is a mod to switch the navball speed indicator from m/s to mach
if you intend to do this, good luck!
what if you make a sort of web of asteroids in the station
MatthewTheFurry, Kerbal engineer has a Mach readout.
matt could you make like a huge station in a ring around gilly or a small moon xD
Ty for the new video.
Jeb will have a lot of interesting stories to tell his grandchildren. About emergencies, near-death encounters and even strandings, for example, *the one time he used an asteroid as both a heatshield AND a parachute.*
*Ship*: This is the asteroid capturer to base, we're pulling this thing in to LKO. Say, 350 meters sound good? *Base*: 350k?
*Ship*: We're Kerbals. 350 meters.
Heh
No, that's not Kerbal yet, 70 meters is Kerbal
still not it must trim trees
with a pe of 70.000m and a simulair ap
No the pe is 5.0000m
*watches these videos and realizes most of my KSP playing has been more like missile tests rather than space missions.*
Well I made horizon with a crew in base no dlc game
It was for an asteroid landing
It was soooo faraway that I couldn’t get solar power (I put 1 rtg on it)
It took 27 years for it to go next to the sun
BD armory is a lot of fun in ksp
To be fair ur probably as skilled as the North Korean technicians doing their missile tests
I used KSP as a millitary program
LOL
Now that's how you land a freaking spacecraft
madjedi22 one year for someone to reply to this.
Oof
@Silas Langwadt Thrysøe you didn't see shiz
4 years!
"Top left is a random video . . ."
Good job RUclips randomizer algorithm, it's the same exact video that I just watched.
I've had been there too a long time ago actually, Green Harvest showed up
Saved two kerbals, created an extinction level event.
...All in a day's work.
Or u could just thanos them mfs
But the asteroid was to small
The asteroid was only going 130m/s when it impacted. That is not an extinction level event. What makes an asteroid dangerous is hitting the earth with inter planetary speeds.
Also, it was about as tall as a tree.
Erebus basically, we don’t want a de-orbiting asteroid belt chunk to decide we got a pretty planet and want to give it a lil kiss.
Matt. You seriously need more attention. 70K is not enough. You have way more technological attention and better reasoning than I ever would playing KSP. I'd never be able to do what you do in a week and yet still have the energy to capture not one, but TWO asteroids! This video is amazing!

Tried it but it's super ugly :/
Matt Lowne ino what you mean. I tried once but messed up the landing so it fell over and couldnt get it back up but I think I'm goanna try it again soon.
oof
But everything floats in KSP...
No
make these two orbit together, then connect them with a bridge (made of crew cabins). then make it a space station!!!
Like a giant space dumbbell
would be awesome
Welp, I know what I’m doing after work now.
HECK YES
Love your videos.They inspired me to go back to KSP.Thanks Matt.
Same
Space rock heat shield...
Clever.
He protec
He attac
But most importantly
He brings asteroids bacc
It has the aerodynamic properties of a barn
(An extremely large barn lol)
I love that little plane icon! I just imagined what it would be like if you actually were on an airplane, fell asleep, and then woke up and saw you were in space and there was a magic green asteroid out your window! XD
Haha, loved 'forgot about dre' in the first 5 minutes or so.
i thought i was hearing things til infound this comment xD i was tripped out at hearing that song on this channel
@@lacorbeau yeah me too, really caught me off guard for a hot minute lol
"I never make mistakes"
(Me, who forgets to pack the ground science): ಠ︵ಠ
Me who gets all the way to duna before realizeing that jebadiah cant repack chutes "..."
I love the map layover with the transparency over watching your craft launch. Nice touch!
Matt you daring devil, you are pretty good at this game :-)
Catching and stabilizing asteroids, and the subsequent stations attached to them, end up making handy interplanetary gas stations.
I haven't been subbed to you for long. (only started watching your vids about a week ago) but I'm looking forward to your next video.
Aww thanks for the ❤ Matt!
yshouldicar3 #matt is trolling
That's no asteroid! That's a kraken egg!
no wait OH SHIT
Who are you in the wise way of science
When we think it's the magic boulder :(
A few versions ago, Magic Boulders spawn in as random rare asteroids. They come in a variety of colours, But you need to find 'em. I remember when i was with The Engadine, and i was pushing random rocks around with Whack-A-Kerbal when i found a special rock. A magic one.

Hi Matt! You are the best KSP RUclipsr ever!!!
I think that title actually belongs to Scott Manley, but you do you.
It is a hard decision between the two
What about Stratzenblitz?
Matt: I never ever make mistakes Me: I knew it Matt's not a human
Could you land an asteroid at the KSC plz
Christian Humer More like crash the asteroid into the VAB! :D
@@QUADEeee what happens if you park it in the rubble and repair the VAB? Kraken attack?
I love how you couldn't survive reentry normally so you just took an asteroid making it a meteor and using that as a shield. Absolutly great video keep it up!
Magical!
9:16 those kerbals are really happy with that asteroid
This channel is perfect for new people to KSP.
The kerbals have been trapped in space for 1 month and 22 days.
"We don't have a parachute! How will we land safely?" "Not to worry, we'll just use this massive boulder as our parachute and/or airbag!"
"I never ever made any mistake" is a very bold statement. I trust you nonetheless
Perfectly executed lithobraking maneuver 👏
Doesnt NASA want to start work on navigating an asteroid into earth orbit by 2021?
Free fuel?
No
By 2021 they are going to mars
MaxTheGamerDuck Nope, 2030's
Bringing an asteroid into orbit? That sounds like a recipe for disaster.
When Matt lithobrakes he doesn't just hit the rock, the hits the rock with another rock!
This rocks \m/
Herman Von Petri punpunpun
I like your taste in music
For those who don't know, the song at the beginning is necro, murder ya life
Matt: I added 4 claws
Me: Why?
Matt: BECAUSE IT LOOKS COOL!!!

and I'm sure I'm not the only one, and if it gets popular, could you please make a "subscribers designs" series like mark thrimm does?
If you want to use maneuver nodes for precise encounters use scroll wheel
ah, irsu, the beloved in resource situ utilization
10:40
There are no mistakes, only happy little accidents.
Who ever has disliked has reserved their place in hell.
b...but he put the magic boulder in an orbit :(
8:25 look at the kerbals XD Spazzin out
Well I made horizon with a crew in base no dlc game
It was for an asteroid landing
It was soooo faraway that I couldn’t get solar power (I put 1 rtg on it)
It took 27 years for it to go next to the sun
Nasa wants to know your location
The first asteroid i captured was a magic asteroid. It was completely by chance, and i didn't realise it was magic until this video.
Who needs a heat shield when you can use an asteroid instead.
You videos are so awesome i like every second
Would you mind using TextureReplacer? I recommend it. It's great with something like KSPRC...
P.S. i was like ''It's that time of the week again!''
now you just need to bring the normal asteroid back to the ksc
Wow, that one single claw gripping for dear life :P
i subed because your a one of a kind ksp youtuber with a voice! please reply!
I managed to build an North American X-15 with high altitude drop aircraft that is so powerful that it could launch the X-15 into orbit. So it's almost like a Two Stage To Orbit or 'TSTO'.

I'm pretty sure that the asteroid is immortal and you can crash it at any speed... Or is it anymore?
intro song is - Eminem, Dr. Dre - Forgot About Dre
I don't want you to have an epileptic seizure. Huuuuhhhhh.
Lmfao, I completely lost it :D
when someone asks how often you capture GIANT GLOWINF F**KING ASTEROIDS
*it's everyday bro*
cant freaking wait for the asteroid station
nice taste in back round music
And here we have one of the more Kerbal methods of lithobraking.
I like the soundtracks... epic
Looking at mats rockets makes me think of an alternate reality where nasa sees Saturn V's as good side boosters
Hey @Matt, great video as always. Could you please tell me what visual addons are you running? Your game looks stunning!
For me, If i dont have much fuel i just go to my AP then set my PE to about 30k meters, about 50 deltaV then aerobrake 2-3 times to make it even then just low the PE a bit. Oh, And asteroids make awesome heat shields lol
That was a seriously amazing landing
most kerbal way to return to kerbin
"No kernels died today" FINISH THEM
He’s make all of this look so easy
No Kerbals died on this mission, but they did suffer severe radiation poisoning.
Really great you don't get to see a asteroid every day in KSP
To the moon and back with only Sepratrons please! :D
can you add the list of songs you played down below when your done making a video? It'd be noice.
new title: "Giving Kerbin another Moon!"
anyone else notice that the song in the beginning of the video is Forgot About DRE?
Matt: it’s not hard me can’t get to mum with a rocket capable of going to moho
Referring to what you said about MecJeb, I don't us it either to keep my skills sharp
you taunted the magic boulder at the end
I only just realized, the KSP explosion sounds are the same as the ones from GTA SA
Today I bought ksp + expansions... tomorrow I'll complete career then i can also kidnap asteroids.
(Uses asteroid to cushion impact)
The crew is saved!!!
In other news 40,000 kerbals were killed in a asteroid strike.
1:45
It's over 9000!!!
Scientist with years of experience: Sir we have 0.000000000000001% percent of fuel left!! we can't make it to mars!
Matt: Not enough for mars? Wanna go to the Andromeda galaxy then? we have enough
How do you find out if your asteriod is a magic one without flying to it?
Nice ship by the way
Bring it safely down to kerbin!
Digital vibrancy values are true the roof
That is a Kerbal landing if I've ever seen one
now that's a kerbal way to land
Best soundtrack ever
Can you just make an alternate save and crash the asteroid into a space station then revert to the old save?
How do you get the extra information to show up on your flight screen? such as the apoapsis height and time to, delta v etc.?
16:29 -- That's a landing if I ever saw one!
build a recovery vehicle to go get that landed asteroid to the launch site!
