Yeah, TheWinterOwl's longer video in there was easily better than any of the livestreams to date. Mind you, I'm kind of biased: I hate streaming gameplay - so much inane babble. His video is here, if you don't want to work through the playlist: https://youtu.be/pX_QJuZoW70

Small question. I'm not enormously experienced with KSP, so this is probably a normal issue. When I pack a ship with floats, and land at reasonable speed (parachute assisted, at ~10m/s) in the ocean with floats deployed, it still tears my ship apart. I'm not really sure why splashing down rips things up even at speeds that would be perfectly safe to touch down on land. I'd hoped floats would work like airbags do but for water, but that doesn't seem to be the case. So, what do floats actually do for us? Or am I just using them wrong? Also: decoupling airbags tends to be an extremely explosive event for me, too, often destroying or severely damaging the ship in the process. Bug, or incompetent player?
