I'm a bit poorly this week so sorry if I don't sound as up-beat in the commentary!
Also, before any intellectuals comment about how I say Mun and not Mün, it's because it is not called Mün anywhere in the game except on the title screen with the crashed lander. The devs say Mun, the map screen and science reports say Mun, in fact every single mention of it in the game is written without the Umlaut. Thank you for understanding.
Dont worry i did not even realise
It is a great video Matt!
I don’t understand....... your always right
Hi Matt
Why is this comment a day old!?!!!?
phase1- inspired by the tutorial
phase2- open ksp as if you are a rocket scientist
phase3- after 6 hours of making rocket
phase4- your rocket does a belly dance at launchpad
Lol
All to true I just got the game the other day
I just got the game my rocket keeps running out of deltaV
@@minecraftmarioboy5012 I believe that is user error
@@embersoffiregaming311 I just found out I’m not supposed to be going 100% thrust full time when leaving kerbin
Me: i can do this.
Matt: *starts speaking*

Oof.

danklad I would tell you to go fuck yourself but I'm pretty sure you'd be disappointed.
Just completed my first Mun landing yesterday. Man it's a great feeling, highly recommend it to all you new KSP players out there. I'd say the most exciting part of my landing in particular was when my orbit took me through a giant canyon- so I dipped down to the crazily low altitude and flew through this canyon at supersonic speed. That was really cool.
You should try Eve now. I've never felt as proud of myself with a computer game as when I managed to land on Eve. Getting away from there is another problem, though :)
@@joeltarnabene5026 you should try the sun i managed to land but it’s hard to get back
@@Dubdsy try going going there at night to make it easier for yourself
@@Fantax92 i would add to your statement bring some ice with you to cool you or the sun down
The mun landing with just the pilot was simple. But then I tried to also bring 6 tourists and a scientist. That was hard. The rocket itself isn't that hard, but to land that gigantic thing with the basic landing gear was pretty hard. Needed 10 attempts to do so.
I have thousands of hours in this game. Doesn't mean I ain't watching a nice Matt Lowne tutorial.
Hehe sad
The only game I have almost 1,000 hours in is FSX.
Same here Cole
I have 1000 hours in cfs
@@observantmagic4156 what is cfs
"You're gonna want to have at least 800 m/s of Delta V for going back to Kerbin"
Me: Has 200 m/s of Delta V while still in orbit around the mun
SAME
BLUNDERBIRDS ARE GO!
ME NOT KNOWING WHAT DELTA V IS: ahahhaHAHHAH
lol
So an emergency refueling mission with a claw (or build docking ports).
A similar ship should be enouth
Finally, a game guide who doesn’t sound awful, explains stuff in detail, is actually knowledgeable about the game, and doesn’t rush.
Nice joke. He literally does the whole build in under 3 minutes, demonstrating one step while explaining the step he made three previous. Almost every comment is expressing amazement that he got this thing to fly or asking questions about how to get it to work. This video SUCKS.
Jack you must be really bad at youtube and the game, just slow down to see hin build, this isnt menat as a full tutorial
@@David-vz4yk Jesus dude, THIS is your reply? I gave a specific example of why the video was bad and you just ignored it. You should do a bit of self reflection before making a fool of yourself like this again. Seriously, saying "this isnt meant to be a tutorial" on a video with the word tutorial literally in its name? Get your shit together.
Jack geez, someone stole a lot of insults, stop making a shame of yourself and just go to another tutorial, nobody forces you to watch this, if you think its so shit then just make it yourself, bet you cant even get to orbit and thats why your a sad 10 yo kid in your moms basement wroting comments on youtube
Jack also, jesus is fake, no need to use that in your comment, go cry more about it
11:35 : nitpick -- since the Mun is tidally locked, if you don't already face Kerbin on the surface, you can never get a connection by time warping.
Oh.
@ANAKIN BELARMINO nah, one side always faces the earth
god 1 yeah, so that means that a moon day is twice the length of earths so ANIAKIN BELARMINO is correct
yup... learned that the hard way....
He was talking about the relay orbiting.
Thanks Matt! I’ll do this in Sandbox mode (as I’m a true pro), but the detail in this is great!

Wow pre covid people😮
After practicing for a month, I'm finally advanced enough to follow Matt's tutorials
LOL
Is it that hard? I'm downloading now,have been wanting this for years now.
@@normalhuman9260 it's not too difficult if you have a basic understanding of orbital mechanics, and ksp is hugely simplified compared to the real world, so just play around with it a bit, after one or twice doing it it becomes super easy, I do mun missions effortlessly now and have been like 2 months after posting my comment, so it's definitely not hard. Good luck, kerbalnaut!

Since the last patch, you can click on the altimeter to get altitude above the local ground instead of above sea level. It helps A LOT when making soft-landings because you no longer have to watch for your shadow to judge the distance to the ground. It's one of those new quality of life tools that helps new players to learn the basics.
Better use Kerbal Engineer, it shows a whole lot of other useful information as well.
@@Mike-oz4cv KER is great and does give a lot more information compared to the stock game.
Until 1.7, I'd argue that KER was required to play, but the developers have *finally* gotten past HarvestR's absurd "bUt NuMbErS rUiN tHe MaGiC" BS. Since 1.7, KER has, in my opinion, has become optional. I still use it unabashedly, but some players, including newbies, don't use mods and their stock options should be mentioned.
@@orbitalvagabond3297 Agreed, though it’s still a PITA to play without KER and Precise Node.
@@Mike-oz4cv I've actually never played with PreciseNode. Even when doing interplanetary missions I've never found the need for it, because it's basically impossible to execute a burn to the level of precision it provides. I just use maneuver nodes to get timing and approximate burn times, the burn manually. Sometimes the orbit needs to be trimmed with RCS, but that's not hard at all.
I get why people use it, and it's a totally valid approach. It's just not how I prefer to play. I've seen too many streamers spend too much time obsessing over getting the *perfect* vector sum to go down that path.
@@orbitalvagabond3297 I just find it really hard to hit the correct icons on the maneuver node. Much easier to set a rough vector, then adjust with Precise Node.
When you don't have most of these parts unlocked: *cries in career mode*
Still don't have them unlocked?
Just create a new world and set it on sandbox
@@Pissbucket500 u are not very smart

To help anyone who comes still!
also, you could add these to the description for chapters
Thank you!
I absolutely love anyone who posts timestamps on videos that either don't support it or just the uploader didn't do it. So thank you is all I'm trying to say lol. Also, I'd say for the Mun landing part, I'd just round it off to the the 10:00 minute mark, that's when he starts his burn for it, or for the more advanced users more comfortable doing the maneuvers and what not, I'd set it to as early as 9:02 because that's when he starts the whole sequence, even if it's close to the "Mun Orbit" timestamp. But hey 26 seconds is still 26 seconds some people feel is "wasted" so I can also see why you just leapt to the 10:35 mark.
Me: I will be able to do this *sweats*
Matt: We are not doing rendezvous
Me: Thank god!
@@michealwontfindthis5021 i just cant get it, docking and rendezvous are my weak point
Dimitrije TheSoldier at your closest approach, put on target mode and burn retrograde until the meter goes to 0, then aim at the target and use Your engine to burn up to 10 meters or something
ZzZKerb0lZzZ mate, I guess I’ll teach you..
Fun fact: your gonna rendezvous with mun
Don't forget to collect eva reports while on the mun surface, but also jump and use a little rcs to reach about 20 feet up, and collect eva report just above the surface. Works on all biomes on mun and minmus.
Two years on and this video just helped me to get to the Mun and back :)
I had trouble getting back because I used too much delta-V finding a good landing spot on the Mun. Luckily, after tinkering with maneuver nodes for about fifteen minutes I finally got one that sent me back to Kerbin with the little fuel I had. Great tutorial!

Hey Matt! Great video, I love these science playthrough tutorials even though I finished mine a few months ago lol. The attention to detail is important and I'm very chapped that you're transfering this information to new players as it is very important for larger scale missions! Keep up the grrrrrrreat work!
Thank you a lot! This guide is very helpful for me as a new player.
I've managed to open my entire science tree even without any piloting mission outside Kerbin SoI, because I'm not bounded by restriction 'one biome per body'. Mostly because of this guide which has a lot of information about landing on Mun and Minmus. First things first, I've sent missions to Mun and Minmus like in video. Second, I`ve burned to the node with Gravioli detector (because it is the only scientific module that performs biome-sensitive analysis for both high-above and low-above flight). Then, because of beautiful mod SCAN whch shows you biome maps for celestials, I've gathered all EVA and gravioli scans for Kerbin, Mun and Minmus just in one flight, which gave me a whole lot of science (near 5000 points). The last but not least was Munar Space Station with Munar Landing Module, which was equipped with science container. That helped me to gather two copies of each experiment, one set was then succesfully delivered to Kerbin, another one is currently processing at Science Lab. These experiments, and some occasional flights with orbital probes and automatical landers on surfaces of Duna and Eve gave me the rest of science points to complete my science tree.
When landing, you could have clicked the wave icon next to the altimeter to switch it to surface mode. That way you can see exactly how high you are above the surface, allowing you to even better perform the landing burn.
You tell me this now?!
@@pancytryna9378 Well, I tried to tell you 1 year ago, but it seems you're only reading this just now. I would've tried harder to tell you earlier if I knew you didn't know what I know.

This is still one of my favorite videos ever. I watched it almost 15 times but still I can't stop. Please do Lowne Aerospace 3 Matt!
[Everyone Liked that]

Can't wait to get this
@@vagatronics and also good
swooppoopmaster- thedivsion0down dont waste money get it from piratebay i never pay for games
I don't really understand something; I've done exactly the same rocket, the same turn, the same action, and i fall short of fuel each and every time . I can land on the moon, but don't have enough fuel to come back.
If i look at just the begining, my two booster fall short of fuel about 2K me before his, and i have to ditch the first stage about 5 to 6K before him, and as a result i have to do a very long burn with the second stage, eating up half the fuel. I also notice his rocket seems to go way faster than mine, already near 2K m/s before getting to orbit, when i'm merely 1.5/1.7k.
I had the exact same issue. Recently got back into KSP, so I was looking for some refresher tutorials and found this. I watched the build and launch part of the video repeatedly to see what I was doing wrong... And whatever it was I couldn't tell you, but there was just simply never enough fuel to get back on any attempt following this build.
Small differences add up. It is hard to fly exactly the same way each time. Seconds count with small crafts. However consider this, it's a video so the content creator is able to show you their best attempt. Watch a live stream, the creators stuff up a LOT more often than you see in pre-recorded, dubbed videos.
I'm having the same problem. I'm eating up too much fuel getting to orbit and getting to the Mun. So far I've been doing Munar aborts when my last stage gets down to 800 m/s since I need that much to get my Kerbals home. So... bigger rockets to get to orbit? More Fuel? Anyone have any suggestions?
@@dieseljester3466 Just keep trying. If you want to get technical calculate your deltaV and thrust-to-weight ratio of your vessel, and adjust those parameters until they are correct. Make your TWR at takeoff at least 2 and preferably 3. It's usually the launch that burns up all the fuel. There are cheat-sheets on the internet that give you the deltaV at each stage. Personally I think it more fun to ignore the internet and succeed by trial and error and tuning my vessel.
BanksiaMan Thanks! I’d rather not use cheat sheets and mods on my first play through. So the tip keeping TWR 2-to-3 might help me out. Here’s hoping! I’m about to go back into the game now to play around with my rockets. 😁
Somehow I missed the first video. I didn't even know that you were doing a new series. I guess I should go watch that now.
thanks! I've landed on the mun before but never got back... This helped me do that as well as just flying the ship better, I hope I can soon go interplanetary!
Yes! I've been waiting for this all week!
... and now waiting for the next one ^^
Thank you, Matt. I'm a new player that orbited kerbin, minmus and mun (in sandbox) but never even dreamed of landing anywhere but kerbin. Thank you very much.
this is my first time going to the mun thank you and I love your videos
I can confirm that this works, after 15 minutes I built a full colony on the Mun, thanks Matt!
Challenge : Make a Dyson Sphere..... period
Thank you so much for this! I've always struggled with landing on the mun but this was so helpful and now I've landed on the mun for the first time!
I am really good at making supersonic planes *Sub-orb*
But i really cant get onto other planets/moons
Thankyou for posting this. PERFECT!
I watched the other ones but this seems simpler "Its just rocket science"
Omg im highlighted :D
And, OH he liked it :D
You didn't give us enough Delta v! Now I'm stuck in orbit around the mun after landing and talking off. The rocket should be bigger and have more Delta v budget, especially for beginners that are watching this.
Tried everyone’s method of getting to the moon, especially yours (cause your my fav 😉) but I always seem to run out of Delta-V 😭😭😭😭
that1odd person just Add more boosters and bigger stages 😃
Same
Hmm
Yeah, more boosters always works
@Henry Pratt I've been careful with my choices, but I got some boosters too
Yess I'm so happy you're still making tutorials for us KSP noobs :D
I’ve landed on the Mun but lost the rest of the ship’s body and only left the pod. The tutorial said that I’ve landed on the Mun 😂
edit: that was my dad, one day I tried again and successfully landed with a full body... but the landers were a bit leaning to the side
@@mayhulk7514 i do that too, just keep trying and fixing your technique and you will succeed, goodluck
Lol that happened to me in Carrer mode and jebadia was stranded on mun I still haven’t rescued him till this day

@@stealthfox374 just terminate mission(indirectly killing him).....he will respawn after 2 hours
@@rohithanuchri9911 lol ima probably do that thanks
Thank you so much for doing this tutorial with rocket build! I'm still new to the game and this has helped me with both orbiting Kerbol and getting to the moons. I've named this rocket the ML-1 (Matt Lowne One) in my game and I've used it as the basis to get to both the Mun and Minmus. :)
just started playing and this looks so complicated. I can barely get into orbit around Kerbin
Any improvement thus far?
@Logan Johnson (Student) what is that on console?
Thank you so much for this series Matt, this has been so useful so far! My science save is going great thanks to you!
ok so how do you turn so smoothly, every time i dab the d key its so twitchy
turn on SAS
@@sigsauer_firearms 😂 I can’t help but bring up you helped this man 10 months later
Remember to lower or raise your thrust to keep your time to appoapsis constant during ascent, this will save you fuel and raise your periapsis as well as your appoapsis at the same time, meaning your circulrazation burn will be much shorter, giving you more Delta v for your mun encounter
whatever
It took me 15 tries to do it, 9 on Thursday and an additional 6 on Friday, I was so happy when I managed to do it, sure the rocket was destroyed after landing perfectly on it’s side, and Johnhat is stuck, but the flag is on the moon he is alive and that’s what matters to me (I play on sandbox mode by default)
did you go and save him? saving a stranded kerbal is difficult actually
@@rasaecnai not necessarily. Just get it so your orbit is perfectly over the stranded kerbal. (You can do this by using the nodes) if you don’t land perfectly, you can just do some hops with your lander to get to the kerbal and then rescue the kerbal.
Play science mode
There is a Flag on the Mun Highlands. Dedicated to the multiple crashes and flips because I thought you used three lander struts instead of four. Quick save is a life saver.

Keep sending rockets and make a base lol
Add a t-100 to lander and t-200 for upper stage
If it fails, add Moar Boosters!
I can do a mun return mission with a terrier and a fl-t 400 just fine even with experiment storages and .625 heatshields
Matt!! I did it !! im on the moon!! thank you for helping me with this tutorial! it helped me build the rocket to get here. now my little kerbal is on the MOON!!
Congrats
Well done mate!
reminds me when I tried the scenario to get bill bob and jeb to the moon, I messed up transfer to mun, so I left bill behind with the main ship and sent the lander to the mun but I never landed a ship before so I crashed in at like max speed sideways and the who land exploded in this massive confetti disaster.
so you sacrificed bill, but also killed bob and jeb.. nice.
I killed Jeb...he is lost in deep space somewhere. Just drifting gently into the darkness.
Thankfully I found the games config files and like a good old government cover-up I altered his state to alive again and luckily he just found his way back into my game!
On a serious note though I really like this game, but I am not that good at it. I am no good at understanding the orbits, directions and struggle to even get into a stable orbit. I downloaded a pre-made Mun vessel to get to the Mun, gave it all it had and aimed for the Mun.
I ran out of fuel and stages on the journey there and just drifted hopelessly past the Mun, I have no idea how I was supposed to land....and get home again too. I got some good screenshots of it though. I have tried a few times to learn more but I seem to be crap at the mechanics/physics of it all.
I am hoping your build will help me succeed tomorrow.
Good video, Thanks
Well to get to the moon in the game and in real life you don’t fly to it you make a big enough orbit to go past it and get caught in its orbit

Any updates now a month later? Did you land on the Mun?
sane brackman sadly no
@@StinkyScript what are you having troubles with, exactly?
sane brackman I have trouble with properly getting in orbit, however I am able to get in orbit. The part where I always fail is where I have to leave the orbit and go to the mun.
@@StinkyScript Alright, but I'm assuming you're following tutorials and the steps in this video as well, so once you're in a proper orbit of at least 70km (i like 90km for good measure, that's just me) what's going wrong? Because all you have to do is place a maneuver node, and solely and only use the prograde and retrograde instruments in the node, nothing else, and all you have to do is add prograde to your node until it reaches the Mun's orbit.
After the lines of your node and the mun, are intertwined, just move your node around your own circular Kerbin orbit, until you find a mun encounter. now tell me if there's any problems that occur when you're trying to go through these steps?
Me:wanna play Kerbal.
Matt:does this awesome rockets
Me:I have no more dedication for this game.
Next could u do a space station tutorial for mun, minimum, or kerbin
you could take two 4 kerbal cabins, slap a cupola on one end with the tiny probodobodyne and a docking port SENIOR on the other side with docking ports batteries etc. and a large reaction wheel in the middle. Put that in munar orbit, then on your other side put a science module with a docking port SR. on one side, a 4 kerbal cabin with a cupola and a probe on the other, put it in orbit and dock, add modules as you go, thats how I did it
My man didnt just go to the moon and back, but he used every last drop of fuel and still contemplated about that 0.5% of fuel remaining

I tried it, and like the fool I was, I did a flyby, ran out of fuel, slingshot round the mun, putting Jeb in a stable orbit of the sun. In a few decades some x wing might come save him if enough science is gained from a better moon landing.
Edit: Jeb is still there, most likely insane after 100 years
you atleast got the mun, i didn't even get into orbit
Hey! wait a second! scientist cant use Prograde or Retrograde etc, and you cant use shift or control keys without connection to ksc
I think that's only true on career mode, not sure though
personally, I like setting up communications satellites before going to the mun and minmus (once i have the tech needed from kerbin research). this helps with sending scientists to those two moons, as I can continue being in communication with them even when they're all the way out at the edge of kerbin's SOI.

Thanks to Matt Lowne I got my first ever mun landing!
Wait im a noob how did he just fast forward and landed on the moon that easily
Dynetics Alpaca lunar lander looks surprisingly like the Mars Sky Crane if you dump the central habitat module. Perhaps it could be used to deliver cargo like rovers or other supplies. If you remove landing gear and add the deployable tether cables you could lower cargo and have your rocket engines at an angle and not kick up as much regolith reducing the risk of damage to the cargo. After the cargo touches down and the tethers cut it can return to orbit for refueling and reuse
first spelling moon is moon not mun
it's a fucking game
Your so dumb it’s the name in the game
Were you by any chance dropped on your head as a child?
Just got KSP yesterday, first time ever playing it. It's extremely harder than it looks, especially on the XB1 version
Rich S I mean come on it cant be that hard right? Its not like its rocket science... oh wait.
Xbox one is def way harder than using a PC. Took me a day jus to get screen display right
I would say that if you were ever to play KSP the best experience would be on a PC and not an Xbox. Trust me, once you get a hang of the controls on PC it’s like butter
Matt, I used to build knex guns, and I had never heard of kerbal, but saw on your instructables page that you started a RUclips channel. I went to RUclips, saw your videos, and thought they were the dumbest thing ever. A year later, I came back, and saw your vids, they are awesome, I downloaded kerbal, it's the greatest thing ever. Good job on all your videos bro, and the longest shooting knee gun. I think I have it lieng around somewhere lol.
Thanks! Mun and back= over 2800 science!!! Now I'm ready to explore the hole system😎
Oh! the 'hole' system, careful there!!! lol
Me: I shouldn't be looking this up. I should just figure it out. But I'm feeling lazy and I like this Matt Lowne guy. With his help, this will be super easy.
Also me: Be sure to right click it and drain it of all its malevolence. I don't see that in the menu.
Thank you, Matt! With this tutorial I finally learned how to properly get to the mun and back to kerbin now.
Finally! After a solid 15 attempts, I finally did it. 3 separate times my Pe coming into Kerbin was 58km yet I'd somehow not slow down enough and overshoot and get stuck in orbit with no fuel left.
I landed on the mun with plans to build a base so I designed the lander to stay put. Left a scientist and now phase 2 begins. But realized I needed more science, so I had to go to Minmus. So now I have a lander on Minmus. Eventually I'll rescue him. Sacrifices were made, heroic Bill.
Matt!!!
I've to thank you SO, SO, SO MUCH FOR DOING THIS VIDEO!!
*Thank you... Matthew*
I found it easier to fly a beefier rocket (2,5m with the mainsail engine and SRB’s and a skipper engine for the second stage) (Yes, in sandbox mode). As a beginner in KSP, It allows for less efficient maneuvers and more Delta V for the lander.
I did it, landed, spun 60mph for no reason, Bob is living on the mun for 3+ years
I can’t even seem to leave mun and get back to kerbin with over 1000m/s of fuel. This man makes it look easy with 800.
me: adds fuel because i dont trust myself to be fuel efficient
Bob kerman: Now stuck in an orbit around the mun
*That moment when you have more delta-v when in orbit than matt lowne even though you had the same excact rocket, but deep inside of you, you know the only reason you ever got to orbit is because Matt is a great teacher*
*THEN YOU NOTICE YOU DONT HAVE ENOUGH DELTA V TO GET BACK TO KERBIN AND PRAY TO THE KRAKEN TO HELP BOB*
Thank you, I am yet another step closer to finishing my Science save!
So, it's been a looooooooong time since I played KSP and decided to do a brand new career run, mind you my previous runs never got further than minmus 😭, but I couldn't come up with a good way to get the the Mun this time. So this was a great help, until I didn't follow it well enough and and was orbiting the wrong way around the Mun.
All in all it was a successful mission and only required a handful if quick loads and about 50 delta v of cheated infinite fuel, since I couldn't justify leaving Bob in Munar orbit due to a measly 50 delta v. Oh, I should mention that I was short on the delta v because I had in a highly elliptical, or eccentric (not sure which is correct), orbit of the Mun at about 45 degrees from the equator and again going opposite the rotation, cause I apparently can't be bothered to learn from my mistakes. 😅
Thanks for the tutorial Matt, I'll try to pay closer attention in the future!
I love the Easter egg of the crashed ship on the menu screen on the video screen shot
Started up KSP again. My first other planet was Mun and not Minimus for contracts.
So I did. Everything went amazingly well. Perfect landing. Got lots of science. Lots. Bill was a hero. I had plenty of DeltaV to get back. I got home and hit the atmosphere. Slowed. And...realized I forgot parachutes.
Try again last night and I couldn't get home. No matter what I didn't have enough fuel to get me back in the atmosphere. But I see my mistake. I should've been leaving the Mun's SOI opposite of its orbit and not with the orbit. I was confused and tired and frustrated I kept being thrown to either millions of meters above Kerbin or even thrown out of Kerbin's SOI and into an orbit around the Sun and I had 800-1000 m/s of DeltaV when I got back into orbit around the Mun.
