Tutorial on hitting the ground when

Just an FYI that notifications were once again broken on this, despite following this forum.

Love the tutorial, great visual style and great voice! Always remember that this kids stuff is the price we have to pay to build the future on a solid KSP2 foundation! We'll make the game our own in due time.

Also, LIFE SUPPORT CONFIRMED!

Kids stuff? I'm nearing 30 and I enjoyed it, pretty sure there's plenty of people older than me who liked it. Just because something is simple and funny animated, doesn't make it childish.

All the tutorial have been reviewed by the ~5 years old daughter of the CEO. It's mentioned in one of the Feature Videos. If kids get it, adults will also!

As Elon Musk would say - orbit is hard

Sommeone should show this to Mr Bezos and Blue Origin.

Man, new players are going to be so spoiled. Imagine having this kind of information available to you right off the bat when we first played KSP1.

I agree, that was pretty funny, even for me!

These new kids won't have to suffer and get the grit the same way we did by watching KSP youtubers for hours on end!

Lucky?

But in all seriousness, this tutorials are really awesome! I really believe that this game'll spawn the next generation of aerospace engineers!

In the video is told  to bring snacks for kerbals in orbit:

if that object is a kerbal, it is recommended that they bring lots of snacks

there will be some sort of life support in KSP2?

Obviously, that's what it said in the tutorial.

I feel like you're over-interpreting, no offense. I'm quite certain it's just a joke, and it is in a video unrelated to life support. If life support did exist, it would have been officially told about.

I thought  it was great. My one (not criticism... observation?) is that it would have been awesome if they could have gotten the guy  who narrates the Kurzgesagt videos to narrate the KSP2 tutorials.

Well agreed, Kurzgesagt narrator solos everyone

Yeah he has a nice voice, but i think he's expensive

[X-Marshal]

Very well made, new players are going to have so much more information than we did!

[airtrafficcontroller]

That's very nice, I remember droping KSP the first time I played because it was too hard, on a second chance It was the "getting to orbit" tutorial that got me addicted, I hope you guys keep the interactive tutorials aswell.

At 1:15, the animation is a bit inaccurate:

The closest point of an orbit to the planet should be its periapsis which is opposite the apoapsis.

But that's also not an ellipse, it's egg shaped for artistic reasons.

In a game that relies on realistic orbital mechanics for playability, the _last_ thing I want is a tutorial to be illustrated with an “artists interpretation” of something.     Do it right or don’t do it at all.  

[AVaughan]

That image looks off to me, (and those orbit lines also did when I watched the video).  That is still true even if you assume the rocket is orbiting in a plane inclined relative to the camera lens.

I tend to agree. All animations should be redone to fix all realism inaccuracies.
