Boosters and Spacetape - A Kerbal Space Program Podcast

As promised, we took an opportunity to look back on KSP1 and share our memories and experiences throughout Kerbal Space Program's initial development. We reminisce about the early days of KSP1's first release, our KSPTV experiences and our early hopes during KSP's beta builds.

In this episode Digi, Mator and Aki discuss the upcoming KSP2 Science Mode update and what we believe to expect. Aki mentions the OSIRIS-Rex mission extension that will see it become OSIRIS-APEX and Digi does not dissapoint with his not-science questions. Aki also carries on the running A.I. theme with an Olive Garden commercial.

Digi returns after a period of time away so Mator and Aki catch him up on recent discussions. TheReadPanda is absent for this recording. We discuss the recent KSP2 v0.1.3 update as well as the seemingly contraversial 20% discount that is currently on offer for the game. Mator manages to view three rocket launches on one trip and we wonder the future of private ventures after the news of the Titan sub. We end on a high note with Dig...

Digi is away for this episode, but Kofeyh returns to fill the space. We have a deep discussion about the different ways early access was handled by Kerbal Space Program and Kerbal Space Program 2. Mator covers the latest rocket launches and Moon lander progress in our Real Space section, and we also return to Artificial Intelligence and how it's used in modern astronomy.

While TheReadPanda is away we drag Kofeyh back into the podcast to talk about his experience with Kerbal Space Program 2. We also discuss Nate's post about the issues with announcements and the backlash from the community. In our Real Space section we take ourselves back to 2016 when Aki, Digi, Kofeyh and Newbius Maximus went on a trip to Esperance to see the Skylab Wreckage. And, as always, we are left with heads-in-hands after Di...

Digi is away to celebrate Mother’s Day, leaving Mator, TheReadPanda and Aki to run the show. Despite the lack of interruptions and questionable science, the episode still runs on as usual. We end up discussing the KSP1 mod Kerbal Environmental Institute and the differences between Career and Science modes. We cover some more upcoming features of the next KSP2 patch. Mator brings up the Fomalhaut asteroid belt and Read ...

All four hosts are back together again. Aki compares the frame rates of Kerbal Space Program 2 v0.1.2.0 between two PCs that are 10 years apart in age with interesting results. Matoro covers his media experiences with the Starship launch and his interview with Victor Glover, the pilot of Artemis 2. TheReadPanda brings an interesting discussion about the Moon lander contract for Artemis 3. Digi, of course, brings his ow...

Mator is away for the Starship launch, leaving Digi to run the show. We cover Patch 2 of Kerbal Space Program 2 (v0.1.2.0) and realise some parallels between the development of KSP1 and KSP2. TheReadPanda brings us down to Earth with a reality check on the future of space-faring propulsion methods. Digi leaves us checking our own reality with his (not so) sciency questions.

Aki returns for this episode and makes an apology for the previous stalling of the podcast. He also explains how the new format of the show will be from now onwards. CKAN for Kerbal Space Program is given some hype and we discuss some of the more unusual experiences with KSP2. The Real-Space sections goes wayword with some future ideas for the International Space Station and Mator announces some rather big news regarding Artemis 2....

With Aki and Read absent, Mator and Digi are joined by a guest: LinuxGuruGamer (The Mod Father!), who is a prolific modder, mod saviour and mod janitor of Kerbal Space Program. Linux talks through what it means to be a mod-maker/mod-maintainer. The hosts also discuss the very welcomed KSP2 0.1.1.0 patch.

Mator, Digi and Read run through their thoughts on KSP2 after the Early-Access release. This is the first episode where Aki is absent from the team, but does not escape the editing. Read offers concerns over what the Starlink project might mean for the future of outer-space while Digi brings in a new section to the show... 'That's not science, Digi!'. Finally, Mator announces some future changes to the show as all four hosts try to...

The team is finally back together to talk about KSP2 after 2 years of being away from the microphones. Early Access is about to drop and we wanted to talk about what we know so far, and what we hope to see in the release. We also share our fondest memories of KSP1 in this special off-line episode.

Only Mator and Aki are present for this show. Read was feeling under the weather and Digi was unable to attend a mid-week recording. But we could not delay the episode any longer as it was our last chance to record in the year 2020.

We discuss what the the Kerbal Space Program 1.11 update will bring and share our excitement for this release. KSP2 is delayed until 2022 and we share our thoughts on that as well as the most recent Dev...

Kerbal Space Program celebrates 9 years in the making and we look at some of the facts Squad shared since releasing Kerbals into our care. Our overview of KSP2 news covers the way Kerbals will look and behave when the second version of this great game is released.

Mator covers off some of the recent Space-X launches (and some that didn't launch!), which sends Digi and Aki off onto a rather stranger tangent...

An episode is squeezed out just before Aki returns to the UK and it seems the pandemic hasn't caused a lack of news for both Kerbal Space Program and KSP2 this time. Version 1.10 drops for KSP and we go over the new features while the KSP2 slot is taken up with an inevitable discussion about the new Intercept Games studio.

Mator runs through the Crew Dragon Demo-2 launch in our real-space segment while Aki get the other hosts to gu...

We decided to leave the record button on after closing out the KSP content and this is the result. Our after-parties leave us discussing non-KSP related general gaming news and other material (including crock-pots!).

Topics covered are the new pricing for Twitch in Australia, Steam Licencing, Fallout 4 Creation Club headaches, a streamers culinary best friend, and current and wishful game remakes!

Warning - this episode contains st...

The pandemic continues to hinder our sanity as well as the release of fresh information, so we return to the Making History expansion for an overview of what the DLC provides. We discuss some things we'd like to see in KSP2 before moving on to our first listener email since relaunching the show. The Real Solar System mod is discussed as a result, and we also cover some communication ...

Perhaps our most wayward episode with the longest intro to date!

We get immensely side-tracked during our intro segment, but it should still be good entertainment. We’ll blame the lack of new KSP contact, thanks to the current pandemic. Skip the first 30 minutes if all you want is Kerbal Space Program news.
