Boosters and Spacetape - A Kerbal Space Program Podcast

KSP2 Ep8 - Dev Concerns, Kofeyh & the Kommunity, and Skylab 2016

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. 0:03:32 - Personal Progress 0:18:37 - Kerbal Space Program 0:52:33 - Real Space 1:09:46 - Kofeyh and the Kommunity 1:38:03 - That's Not Science, Digi! 1:45:32 - Outros   Episode Links: 1.

KSP2 Ep7 - KEI, Asteroids around Fomalhaut and A.I.

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 brings some good news about the Voyager space probes. During Read-Ed, we digress off onto a big tangent about Artificial Intelligence.   0:03:10 - Personal Progress 0:15:41 - Kerbal Space Program 0:38:57 - Real Space 0:54:29 - Read-Ed 1:06:14 - Outros   Episode Links: 1.

KSP2 Ep6 - v0.1.2.0 Frame Rates, Victor Glover and Chunks of Concrete

KSP2 - v0.1.2.0 Frame Rates, Victor Glover and Chunks of Concrete 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 own science to the show.   0:02:49 - Personal Progress 0:18:13 - Kerbal Space Program 0:37:39 - Real Space 1:02:54 - Read-Ed 1:21:47 - That's Not Science, Digi! 1:27:15 - Outros   Episode Links: Matoro's Starship Launch GIFMatoro's Starship Money-shotStarship Launch - concrete chunks   Music was created by Popskyy - www.popskyy.bandcamp.com Host Links:www.twitch.tv/matorowww.twitch.tv/thereadpanda BST Social Links:TwitterFacebookInstagram Contact: boostersandspacetape@gmail.com  

KSP2 Ep5 - v0.1.2.0 Patch, Fuel Mass and Coal

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. 0:04:58 - Personal Progress 0:17:06 - Kerbal Space Program 0:51:50 - Real Space 1:09:46 - Read-Ed 1:24:42 - That's Not Science, Digi! 1:28:47 - Outros Music was created by Popskyy - www.popskyy.bandcamp.com Host Links: www.twitch.tv/thereadpanda www.twitch.tv/matoro Social Links: https://twitter.com/bspacetape https://www.facebook.com/bspacetape https://www.instagram.com/boostersandspacetape Contact: boostersandspacetape@gmail.com

KSP2 Ep4 - CKAN, 'Aidem' and Train Whistles

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. Because the recording happens to fall on April Fools, Digi actually tries to deliver some real science... 0:04:47 - Aki's apology 0:14:11 - Personal Progress 0:25:34 - Digi's KSP2 Rover Woes 0:28:03 - Kerbal Space Program 0:48:20 - Real Space 1:16:36 - That's Science, Digi! 1:24:01 - Outros Music was created by Popskyy - www.popskyy.bandcamp.com Host Links: www.twitch.tv/thereadpanda www.twitch.tv/matoro Social Links: https://twitter.com/bspacetape https://www.facebook.com/bspacetape https://www.instagram.com/boostersandspacetape Contact: boostersandspacetape@gmail.com
