    Well, here we are. 11 years after KSP came out and 2 months before KSP2, someone finally "beat" the game.
    This is legitimately the best KSP cinematic I have ever seen. Absolutely brilliant. The cinematography and music choice are absolutely spot on. I really want to know how you got the shot at the end with the Kerbal planting the flag in so many locations, that shot was especially brilliant!

    It's hard to articulate what incredible thing you've done here is. Ksp is always the "funny game with space frogs" but as a 10 year veteran it's far more than that, it's the emotion of pioneering exploration that makes it such an incredible game.

I can't imagine how much work went into these 6-ish sublime minutes, but every detail here looks wonderful.
