KSP: Futuristic Refuelling SSTO - Inspired by Skylon! 

Did anyone else notice that the thumbnail has the old version of the SSTO without the robot arm?

I just found your channel not too long ago, binge-watched some of your series, then went and rewatched the KSP 2 trailer... I now can't help but hear the first line in the trailer song as "I'm so keen for Life on Laythe." Get on it! Much love.

Matt videos are more important than sleep so I must watch it all!

Everyone is early, and we dont care.

I'd love you to fix the gigantic space station! Or make another one!

0:19 already off the bat that is a tall order, this year is off to one insane start but not too insane to recall the adventures of Lowne Aerospace 💫

LOL I literally just watched your old Skylon SSTO "space station building" video 10 minutes ago because I had SABRE engine and skylon fever, turned on KSP - and then I check out youtube to put on something in the background and it says "KSP: Futuristic Refuelling SSTO - Inspired by Skylon!" - 8 minutes ago. What are the odds!? haha

Yo why is Kerbin's atmosphere so THICC

"half full" Congratulations! You're an optimist! :)

Your thumbnails are always great. I love trying to spot the moment you took them during the timelapse!

What a great way to finish up my night at work!

Finally! First video of Matt Lowne that has high efficiency SSTO that I watched. I'm subscribing now. Keep up the good work Matt. Those crafts that you had to lick the surface of sea-level were weird, man!

I need to plan my schedule to watch your videos! There are so many!

Keep up your amazing work dude i love your content!

Hey Matt, you're the best in my opinion at KSP, and I'm sorry I'm not active in the discord.

Hey Matt, I've seen what's happening in England, I'm very sorry, i mean about hospital congestion, here in Italy we heard about one hospitalization every 30 seconds. It must be hard for the NHS. Good luck for these hard times! Keep up the great work..

Thank you Matt very cool

Matt SINCE YOU LIKE SSTOS so much you should look at the NASA “dream chaser” concept with the plane on a rocket stack instead!.

Awsome... i was looking to create something like that! Thanks for the idea Keep playing you are amazing

Nice video! It’s very handy to have an easy refueling system. I’ve been launching bulky fuel tanks just to refuel the station lol.

You can use Aecs Motion suppressor mod it disables control surfaces while out of atmosphere and enables control surfaces in atmosphere

This ssto looks awesome

Lets go another skylon Just love to see it.

When I was a child, I watched cartoons on Saturday mornings; now, I watch Matt Lowne KSP Videos. Life is good! I wonder, how long does it usually take Matt to produce one of these? In my experience doing some training videos in IT, it takes more effort than people think to produce them with editing, etc.

Yesssssss another one!!!

another banger video from whisky man

Good to know I’m not the only one who overshoots or undershoots the runway!

I'd argue this is the prettiest SSTO you've built

Amazing!

I'm a tad sleep deprived and read the writing on the thumbnail as "docking with a robot chicken" and I think I'll leave it like that.

Matt Lowne: Add fuel tanks to space station until I reach duna Me: What!!?

Pog champ a KSP video

Must tell the Army they cam refuel their jet fighters from their tankers - they'll be ever so pleased to find out that they have some...

Hell yeah one of the first batch

Yayyyy a new video

To the people who say this is the earliest Ive been, STOP THE CAP, I SAW THE SAME COMMENT ON THE LAST VIDEO

Matt, came here while watching the SLS hot fire test. I AM DISSAPOINTED YOUNG MATT. HOW DID YOU NOT INCLUDE THIS IN SPACE THIS WEEK. A jolly good walloping shall come of this... :( (Lol I'm an idiot, loved the vid)

Matt Lowne thinking of vid ideas be like: Ah yes time to make a vid on both sstos and space stations cause this is the pinical of the channel

Starting final approach at 300+ m/s that's ballsy mate. Even the Concord slowed down below the speed of sound before final approach.

Around my 70th hour of ksp I landed on the mun for the first time.

Let's go!

NASA is like when you finish the tech tree. When you started out, it was super cool and fun. When you finish the tech tree, everything gets really boring (probably 1990-2000). You start to go back to places after taking a break from the game (artemis) and you let other people download your crafts (letting people use your rockets).

Aw man, I fell asleep at midnight and I could not watch you video as soon as it was posted. ;-;

There videos are so gooooood

Great !

Nice skylon kind of looking SSTO

Thanks, Matt, for creating ANOTHER SSTO craft file. I can't build one worth a damn.

Matt, when you are docking you don’t need to kill all speed just to make a little adjustment. You can just burn on the opposite side of the retrograde marker so that it moves closer to the anti-target icon, if that makes sense. I’m pretty sure that that saves some deltaV

Sup, Matt just an fyi, angle of attack is essentially the angle between the prograde marker and your attitude on the navball. Not just ur navball attitude. 3:08 basically your angle of attack in reality would be around 5 degrees, with your pitch at 20. So if you had an angle of attack of 15-20 degrees, it would create a ton of drag. Awesome video loved it :)

Having it dock with the robot arm looks soooo cool! Also I'm thinking SSTOs like this are in my future, I have a fuel depot but hate how I only can recover like 70% of my first stage costs for the refueler (tho I did take the strategy to increase recovery percentage, hopefully that helps)

So fast so fast and so MUCH infomation

I feel like Matt has really blown up recently ngl

The same ground disappearing glitch happened to me. The ocean just vanished and I could see the seabed. I believe the problem was actually scatterer.

Matt, It would b amazing to see a series where you play with mods, you're really good in stock and would love to see what you can build with mods :)

This is take two? Take two??? The whole thing looks WAY Sophisticated! I think Take two is still very impressive

Off topic but I finally found out where the blunderbirds theme came from.

Much better on the building timelapse

Hi Matt ur amazing I love u and ur content

There's two types of in flight refueling I'm aware of drouges and booms, drouges are a flexible hose trailed by the tanker and booms kinda look a bit like a turret. Could probably find videos of both on here and KC-10s have both

Matt FYI every time you dock you change the orbit of the station and the station is pushed down into kerbin

i am new to this game but i dont care your channel is perfect

Imagine keeping the fairing base on show smh

Hi matt its your greatest video ever

noone: Matt: *_SKYLON_*

Wings can store fuel like in real life?! thanks...

Since you like recreations of various crafts, could build a Canada arm 2 replica, with the ability for it to transit to necessary parts of the chosen station.

Nice, compact video - i'm not feeling as bad for watching one full video of yours before starting to work and learn :D I guess you've got enough ideas and projects in mind for your videos, but in any case: i think it would be a cool upgrade for one of your space stations in LKO to provide some kind of big and very efficient, de- and re-tachable engine-module (perhaps like a ton of ion-engines or a cluster nuclear engines or whatever) to carry large amounts of payload from LKO to somewhere else in the system. So potentially a large-scale project would only need stages to get stuff in LKO and from then on the big efficient engine-module can take over and get back to refill once its done... though i don't even know if smth like that is even managable/useful, perhaps someone here can enlighten me :D Anyways, i hope you (and naturally everyone else who's reading this ; ) ) have an awesome weekend!

I would love to see you recreate the WS 110A Bomber Concept))) the one with the detachable forward swept wings)))

Love kerala but as my laptop won't give me 20fps in old school runescape its good to get my fix via matt. Thanks bud keep up the cool video's

lmao the inline docking port even is in the thumbnail

Everyone's first, and SN9 is second, so I guess I'm third?

I like how you’re doing infrastructure work.

I accidentally crashed the lunar module of my Saturn V into the Neil Armstrong memorial on the mun

In the morning I remembered it was Saturday and then started wondering that when today’s video was going to be uploaded 😆😍😜

You should make a multi-launch space station, but in orbit around kerbol between kerbin and duna

Hey mat what do you think is the best Forts mission for a begginer at ksp?

Matt needs to check out the mod that Scott Manley just covered. Do a revamp of the colony ships.

Let me help rephrase that AAR explanation attempt, fighter jet approaches the tanker which extends the refueling boom, and the fighter is then instructed(by the boom operator as well as the proximity lights near the area of the under carriage bays of the tanker) how to approach the tanker, and upon reaching close proximity, the boom operator extends the boom into the spot where the fuel is to be put(varies from fighter to fighter)

The Skylon is becoming the symbol of your channel

You should try the real plume mod. It makes the rocket exhaust plumes look way better and its not to bad on performance.

That framerate is such a mood

wow im not late :DD

Matt, please can you make a submarine for life on laythe? Make sure you use the new 1.11 functions and breaking ground propellers.

Cool😎

How about a 200 seat Moho SSTO no mining/refueling sometime, Moho takes a lot of fuel to reach and come home, it would be an impressive mission.

I just visited duna but completely cant build SSTOs

Bro I’m so early hello Matt!!!! I fucking love you ❤️

I don't know if this is a controversial opinion, but i would much rather see awesome crafts with part clipping, than regular crafts without it :D

nice

IDEA try and land a kerbal only using an external seat. For the seat you can only use heat shields, aerodynamics, and rcs No parachutes. Btw land him from LKO.

Skylon is just so beautiful

A Canadarm docking port system, Nice!. just like real life.

Matt can you do a space station at the edge of Kerbin's sphere of influence?

Matt Lowne: NASA: u fool

Id like to see you make a mobile ssto base that you can fly anywhere and have an instant space station. I've built one.

I like how I’m up at 3:00 am and I get a notification for a Matt Lowne video. Matt Lowne aerospace > sleep

For the next video can you do something with one of your giant roving colonies

imagine if mars colonist got to mars with a giant space station that goes from earth to mars and back every few years and has a rotation wheel lol

Convert the duna base into an orbital station!

Everyone's claiming "first" but i wonder who'll be last?
