Boosters and Spacetape - A Kerbal Space Program Podcast Matoro, AkinesisGaming, DigitalPsychosis and TheReadPanda

We've hit a crossroad. We came back to celebrate KSP2, but it's not quite there yet. Maybe we jumped on the bandwagon too quickly. Maybe we're too long in the tooth to report on another development of a game. Or maybe we need to focus a little less on just KSP. We discuss our feelings about the show as it stands currently and ask for some feedback on where we go from here.

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 Digi's not-so-science science.

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 Digi runs through his not-so-science questions.
