Happy Winter! I’m back with another upload, very different in style from my normal content. I’ve wanted to do a Mars colonization video for some time, but I wanted to get Far Future Uranus out and work on a couple other things not content-related beforehand. Making this video was pretty fun, surprisingly. I expected far more terrain buggyness than I actually encountered, and the Starships were really fun to fly. Getting good Starship / Super Heavy landing catch shots was a bit tedious, but it ended up looking good in the end. I’ll be back to more normal content (stuff like Far Future Uranus/Beyond Sol) next time. Also, the 1st part of this video (the part synced to Flight Hymn) is obviously inspired by @NessusKSP in his Far Future Saturn video, hats off to him for making some great content with it!

Sorry for all the premiere buggyness! Something happened to the video on YT's side and it seems like it thought it was premiering the video when it wasn't, so it never showed it and now I can't premiere it again 😢. I've set it to public now, apologies for the inconvenience caused! If you'd like to discuss this video with me or other viewers, you can join the Discord server (I promise I'm not just plugging the server, I really do care about giving y'all the opportunity): https://discord.gg/TNB4nSCKBt
quality content as always
I NEED to know how you got parallax 2 in RSS. Please.
Beautifully done!
Nicely done! It was cool to see the multi-starship burns, re-entries, and landings. Perhaps we'll see something a little like this some day…
I don't understand how this guy doesn't have more subscribers, go push the button and the blue thumb and send comment for SEO this guy deserves more than that. GG dude, it's beautiful ❤️
I love the synchronized maneuvers and re-entries. You make excellent videos, I look forward to the next one!
I wholeheartedly believe that Starship will make it to Mars, but a floating orbital launch mount is where I draw the line. Great video 👍🏻
Amazing, it's like watching a documentary
I love your videos man! Keep up the good work!
Such a beautiful tribute to the future that is about to come! You deserve more subscribers for your magnificent talent.
Multiple starships reentry is quite fantastic! keep up your good work!
Great video! Using Starship outside of LEO is horrible idea though. At what's going to be well over 100MT dry, it's a horrible upper/departure stage.
Still don't understand the stainless steel decision, it absolutely kills the effectivity. But hey, its coming from a company which still insists it doesn't need a flame trench.
Brilliant work mate! The synchronised landings and burns were awesome to see 🙂
Any idea which mod you used to sync the burns up so they could all go together?
how did u get the cranes to lower the modules out of starship?
One word.
NOICE.
POV-you work for SpaceX but you still play KSP
Beautiful video. The synchronized maneuvers, entries, and landings really caught me by surprise, how'd you do that?
2:33 and 3:33 are my favourite transitions!!!
Quick question, were the arm catches legit or reversed footage 😀
Me: watches the video
My brain for no reason: Kelon Kusk.
Formation reentry is a crazy idea. But it's badass. Great work!
In my 6 years playing kerbal space program, I have never seen a video as beautiful as this, the perfect landing of the Super Heavy, the expanding colony and the starship in operation, if this is possible in KSP, anything is possible. you have my like and my subscription❤
do not give up on your dreams👍
What game version is this
