I love how both of your 'roving bases' look like steam locomotives. That's not a bad thing; they look absolutely majestic chugging along on extraterrestrial worlds!
This Mun "landing" never actually happened. It was all done in a studio back on Kerbin. Note the evidence: There is no way that massive vehicle could have possibly survived such a rough landing totally intact. In addition, note the lack of footprints left by the Kerbal on the Mun's "surface"; if this were really on the Mun, he would have left obvious footprints in the regolith material that coats the Mun's surface. Lastly, note the presence of stars in the Mun's "sky". Actual cameras would not be able to pick up said stars because they have to filter out the overwhelming amount of overexposure light coming from the sun, and would therefore also filter out the much less radiant stars. And honestly, who could possibly believe that an entire species and its society exists solely to explore space, with absolutely ZERO infrastructure of any kind on their ENTIRE planet, outside of a single airfield/launch facility/R&D department??? This is an obvious attempt by the cabal, errr...KERbal, of super elite Kerbals belonging to the Kerbinati, The Free Kersons Society, the KIA (kerbin intelligence agency), and the Kerthlic Church, to distract kerbals from the truth: The fact that there is a giant, invisible monster in their solar system called "The Kraken", which if not defeated will one day destroy all of kerbin kind, but the aforementioned intend to capture and control The Kraken for their own nefarious purposes!! WAKE UP PEOPLE! YOU ARE BEING LIED TO!!!
NASA didn't actually crash the Saturn V's third stage into the moon to prevent debris, that wasn't a huge concern in the '60s, for instance, the Apollo 12 booster is still up there. They did it because theApollo missions brought seismometers, but those needed to be calibrated. And this was a relatively cheap way of doing that, because it would be an object with a known mass hitting a relatively precise location at a known speed.
Mobile Moon base for real, could solve solar wind radiation problem, just keep driving 4-9mph and the mobile base could stay on the dark side, shielded from the Sun.
As a kid, I always had an interest in space and physics, my family and friends didn’t agree, but I’m glad there are people who get to do these simulators and be creative as if money were no issue 🙂 I hope you keep making videos, it makes me still hope that someday I’ll get to try this in real life 😌
I have also established a shuttle with 2 stages, a carrier craft first stage, consisting of a mainsail, adapter, and 2 orange tanks + fairing, then the shuttle itself, made of an MK-3 plane with (by clever use of airbrakes) having extendable and retractable wings and tailfin, it has a payload bay consisting of 2 MK-3 singles, it has 4 Rapier engines and enough fuel to get to Jool and back without refueling (but don't think it can't refuel, it has 8 drills hidden inside a service bay) I have used it to establish a orbiting station around Kerbin, Duna, Eve, and the Mun
A while ago I couldn't get to the Mun, now I can get to the outer planets (not always back). This is partly and or mostly in thanks to you, so thanks to you.
Honestly, my own solution for safely getting the mobile base from a vertical to horizontal attitude would be to add some level of VTOL-style engines to at the very least slow down the craft, if not actually allow it to take off vertically. Also, I have managed to modify this design (thanks for providing the craft file!) So that I am able to have an actual refueling station for more convenient (and cheaper) system travelling.
After making my first successful ISS, Mun Space Station, and deep space station, my game could not handle all of the parts. It's always refreshing to see more content. I suppose I'll be diving back in for some more KSP!
That is an awesome design. The only thing I would add, for authenticity, would be a few landing legs to act as grounding for when the drill is active. It didn't do anything here, but if you tried that in real life, the Mun Machine might flip over. Perhaps something for the next one :)
i like it, it is pretty! :) i like imagining how interior is designed, where is com center, where is medbay, lab, habitats, engine room, engineering bay, air and water regeneration. obviously Brigde is up front ;)
An orbital shipyard would be cool ^^ Also a realy big ship build in some kind of giant space station, but all parts must transported from kerbin to the station.
7:00 Now there is a touchdown for the record books. Ass-backwards landing with a 180° rotational twist onto the landing gear. I feel it really needed a bunch of people nearby with scorecards to fully appreciate it. Pilot earned his wage that day.
I modified it with MechJeb and a docking port at the rear end (for refueling other ships). While fuel efficiency was a plus in the "getting there" phase, it was a minus in the landing phase when my third big engine was still attached to it. Next time: get rid of that engine and put RCS thrusters on it for landing stability.
Reminds me of the MOLAB concept by Werner von Braun. Info about it is available in the documentary “Moon Machines” in the episode about the lunar rover.
Hey Matt! Got to say, when I first started watching your videos I had no idea what you were doing because most of the time I eyeball all of my missions. Love the videos though! I love recreating your missions for challenges!
Hi! I'm quite new to KSP, and I have a question about the decoupling at 3:16. How on earth (or in orbit in this case) did the main fuel tank fill back up to maximum?
im a bit late to this comment, but the central tank is being used up, its just getting instantly filled back up by the side tanks. This is also known as 'Onion' or 'Asparagus' Staging. Hope that helps!
One of the suggested videos I saw was an underwater base. That would be cool for one of your videos, like a base on the bottom of the ocean of Laythe, Eve, or Kerbin.
Nice...sweet lookin mobi-base...I need to really step up my game...lol...love the glitch walk...had me lmao XD Keep up the great work. Have a good'n & be safe.
Biggest "rover" I ever made was a multi-trailer semi. Never left the ground. I just drove it up the coast a bit before getting bored and taking a hard right into the sea
Rovers is something I never really used outside of using one to collect science around the launch site. Are they really practical? Like how long does it take to visit multiple adjacent biomes? And can you realistically go those distances without saving and loading over and over again because of random parts falling off?
I think the fact that the thrust from the Mammoth engine is yellow, but the thrust from the Vector itself is purple, even though the Mammoth claims to be a cluster of four Vectors.
He would have to either put a lot of engines inside each other but then it would go too fast when it hit the bottom or use some engines to submerge use the grabbers and then the Kerbals would float if he tried to eva to he would have to make some type of underwater jet pack and would have to put a panel over the entrance/exit (Kerbals still float when on a ladder)
Hey Matt. I really like your videos. Keep going this way. BTW, in your eyes my PC is a potato. What tips do you have for me to have a nice gameplay, exept buing a ''not potato'' PC
Hey Lowne! Heres an idea.. Remember that rover you said you still need to build with the giant wheels? How about a giant rover/colony/lab with the giant wheels FOR EVE?! :O
Really nice rover base. Too bad stock KSP doesn't give you much to do with it. I would love to see what you could come up with using the USI mods. Life Support and MKS for the habitation, agriculture, multiple resources, and manufacturing. And the built-in Karibou Rover pack for additional options and wheels.
"And now we will take about a 70 hour drive to the Mun's north pole."
😂😂😂
I love how both of your 'roving bases' look like steam locomotives.
That's not a bad thing; they look absolutely majestic chugging along on extraterrestrial worlds!
I love your mobile bases so much. The sleek design is great.
only problem is that he's out of ideas... come on Matt.
I tried copying it. It just gets fucked up

Love that comment :-)
Bruh, it's friggin game
ohhhhhyaa whoosh
ohhhhhyaa Whoooooooooooosh
ohhhhhyaa and? A game of little humanoid green dudes that speak backwards spanish is suppose to be taken seriously? His comment was a clear joke.
Send a mobile base to Eve!
Awesome video by the way
FelpeXD _ops How about mobile Eve base which has a boat mod and smaller boats and rovers.
Aka The Perfect Rover Base

Love everything about this design. The "trireme" concept is really neat.

Mortal engines London be like: dammit they beat us to space
Do a Mortal Engines traction city build that'd be dope as hell
10/10

Thats nice
Wow Matt, congrats! Last time i watched one of your videoes you where at 5k subs! You have ben growing so fast!
OneSmallBirb sry but this is unrelated but it’s bird not birb
r/whoosh
Bagel 😂

Perhaps something for the next one :)
Matt, How about mobile base to planet/moon with a cargo bay to load and unload smaller rovers?
Plus,I really like your rovers
Interesting idea, seems like the next logical step for building bigger rovers!
how about a base that hangs below a munar arch with the grabber claw? It would be a challenge to "dock" under it though! :)
Or an escape module in the cargo bay in the case of an emergency
What about making a rover with some science return probes and escape capsules capable of returning kerbals to kerbin.
If someone needs an idea for a blunderbird mission. This person could rescue a sunken spacecraft from Eves oceans.
and/or build an underwater eve base
i like it, it is pretty! :) i like imagining how interior is designed, where is com center, where is medbay, lab, habitats, engine room, engineering bay, air and water regeneration. obviously Brigde is up front ;)
An orbital shipyard would be cool ^^
Also a realy big ship build in some kind of giant space station, but all parts must transported from kerbin to the station.
Last time i was this early, Matt still posted music videos. Great work m8
7:00 Now there is a touchdown for the record books. Ass-backwards landing with a 180° rotational twist onto the landing gear.
I feel it really needed a bunch of people nearby with scorecards to fully appreciate it. Pilot earned his wage that day.
My munar mini-bus can do better than that - skip to 8:00 on this video to see it (th-cam.com/video/qySXvIKq-S4/w-d-xo.html)
Thanks for doing the stream, literally saved my life ;)
absolutely awesome
gonna try this my self hope it goes well
it is an amazing design
You could make a giant rover that has a mini launch/landing pad for a small vehicle, like an aircraft carrier, but IN SPACE!
I modified it with MechJeb and a docking port at the rear end (for refueling other ships). While fuel efficiency was a plus in the "getting there" phase, it was a minus in the landing phase when my third big engine was still attached to it.
Next time: get rid of that engine and put RCS thrusters on it for landing stability.

7:04 - Close Call! Nice Landing!

@@ultraangerybirb332 HahHaa. Cheers lad. I eventually figured it out back then
Make a base in a cave on any planet with caves hanging upside down!!!
Next mission can you go all out TAPE and make the rockets reusable?
Finally someone who knows who TAPE is!
Or the falcon heavy
One of the suggested videos I saw was an underwater base. That would be cool for one of your videos, like a base on the bottom of the ocean of Laythe, Eve, or Kerbin.
That is quite a launch vehicle, much more than Xbox one ksp could handle
So sad
It could handle it. Just it'd take too long. The controller sucks for building games such as ksp
You should use a planet pack like outer planets mod to have more objects and challenges to do
I think he has a video on Galileo Planet Pack, but OPM would be cool too.
RSS :)
Nice...sweet lookin mobi-base...I need to really step up my game...lol...love the glitch walk...had me lmao XD
Keep up the great work. Have a good'n & be safe.

Have you considered adding RealPlume to your set of visual mods?
YES!
Whats RealPlume?
Noah NiCe A kind of realistic exhaust gases
Okay I already found the mod. Thanks :)
Next on Matt Lowne:sending a huge base and rover to Alpha Centauri in rp-0 and RSS.
Wait there's a mod that adds other star systems? YES!
Builds a roving base on Duna
Builds a roving base on the Mun as a sequel
Builds a roving base on Duna as a sequel to the Mun base
*Inception sound*
I like your videos they are the best and your rockets are the best designs ever!
not gonna lie i’m sitting in my buddies home theatre watching this so close enough matt😂
i'm watching this in my basement home theater
Next Mission: use that rover to refuel spacecraft and fill up ore tanks for delivery back to Kerbin.
Now we need a tylo rover! :)
Haha, saw the flag on Reddit and it looks great!
That landing with a twist, 10/10 ;)
KEEP MAKING THESE VIDEOS I LOVE SPACE STUFF AND YOU TOO
What is those bits on the sides that make the outside tanks so far away from the main tanks? I like that i wish i knew which mod it was tho.
Love the mobile base! Question for you Mr. Lowne: Why have you added two unfolding dishes and one bigger dish? Redundancy?
you make it look so easy, nice work
Purple bed comercial. Purple uses a powder on there products that can get into your lungs. Kind of like asbestos. Sounds great!
7:00 that landing is beautiful
Hey Matt, great video as always! Question -> What mods do you use?
If Kerbals invaded Mun, they will do it with THIS vehicle.
I’m watching this in a cinema, a home cinema
I think the fact that the thrust from the Mammoth engine is yellow, but the thrust from the Vector itself is purple, even though the Mammoth claims to be a cluster of four Vectors.
Maybe an underwater base on Laythe/Eve? Sorta like a submarine base i guess
He would have to either put a lot of engines inside each other but then it would go too fast when it hit the bottom or use some engines to submerge use the grabbers and then the Kerbals would float if he tried to eva to he would have to make some type of underwater jet pack and would have to put a panel over the entrance/exit (Kerbals still float when on a ladder)
I watched this in my home-cinema
@Matt Lowne did u looked armagedon because the rover look like the rovers from the film
Hey, Matt Lowne? What made you make these past two videos?
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing.
"The payload is big and long"
I use that line a lot.
I’m currently using the Duna and mun machine rovers to explore kerbin, thanks so much
HE: sending a mobile base to the mun
Me: did not even succeed to get in orbit
A trailer with a stock hinge would be pretty cool.
I've got an idea, try and rescue a mobile base on Eve or something. Fly a base to somewhere and then try and get it (the whole base) back.
Use the big wheels for a mobile launching system from Kerbin?
Great video as always. I wanted to try out the craft file, it says it is stock, but KSP is not recognizing one of the parts... Any mods on KSP 1.6?
Are you using a mod for the decoupler sounds, or am I just going crazy? I thought they sounded different than usual.
I'm watching this on the smallest cinama ever! Introducing the phone!!!!!!!
If I were you, I would blow up the MunMachine using decoupler/sepratron missiles
when this rocket lands back mother earth won't be virgin anymore
Great video! How about sending a giant mining focused rover to one of the planets?
Great video Matt! I wish I could I dream of doing this stuff
Subscribed at the very start of the video because of the use of "syncophant".
Hey Matt. I really like your videos. Keep going this way. BTW, in your eyes my PC is a potato. What tips do you have for me to have a nice gameplay, exept buing a ''not potato'' PC
The Vectors are awesome inventions !
I am actually watching this in my uncles at home cinema, funny enough
What are those thrust vectoring engines called?
Hey Lowne! Heres an idea.. Remember that rover you said you still need to build with the giant wheels? How about a giant rover/colony/lab with the giant wheels FOR EVE?! :O
Really nice rover base. Too bad stock KSP doesn't give you much to do with it. I would love to see what you could come up with using the USI mods. Life Support and MKS for the habitation, agriculture, multiple resources, and manufacturing. And the built-in Karibou Rover pack for additional options and wheels.
Can I ask how, despite the Mun Machine’s vertical mass nonsymmetry, you managed to keep it steady?
Totally watching this in a cinema
5:27 look at that kerbin rise!
Is the craft file for this beast somewhere where I can get it? I'm too stupid to design that monster myself.
I am in fact watching this in a cinema
Stupid question: That terrain is very detailed. retexture mod of some kind or do i just need to download the latest release?
Yeah it's called stock visual terrain enhancement
how did you use those 2.5 to 3.5 meter adapters to hold the mk2 cabins?
and could you send a vtol submarine to laythe?
Can't you show us your build process? Love to see and hear what you're thinking when you design these contraptions
0:30 omg i am in my own small cinema
How the hell do you keep your rocket from tipping over? Whenever I do an angle of attack like that on launch my rockets flip out of control.
airman s.a.s.
The design is just beautifull
im watching this in a cinema
Reminds me of the sandcrawler from star wars. Just needs some Droids.
I subbed and liked before watching!
"the payload is very big and long" -Matte Lowne 2017
Matt I just finished watching expedition eve in the odeon now i'm watching 'The adventures of the mun machine'
