For comparison, every robotic mission NASA has ever sent in its history, from the dawn of the Space Age 65 years ago to today, from Mercury to Pluto and beyond, has cost less than $40B. I know which one has done more for humankind and which one should be dismantled.

So much for checking in with my Patreon supporters to see what's up. Any of you here?

Big milestone for KSA!

All chess is 4D chess that's why they have that time clock thingy.

It appears that parts of the Soyuz and Progress launch pad at Baikonur has collapsed. Repairs could take 2 years. Without Progress, what is going to boost the ISS's orbit?

Exhibit #73629 why I am no longer active on Twitter.

Somebody already recreated the Kerbol system in KSA and there's also a mod adding a Kerbal character to the game. Oh, and the devs reached 70,000 USD in contributions in the first 5 days of the public pre-alpha. All of that and more here: youtu.be/lccYzktAJv8

Probably my most anticipated movie of 2026.

Currently trying to read through the Expanse novel series. But Cibola Burn makes me want to give up on the rest. A third into the book and everyone is JUST. SO. STUPID. And the worst character (at least in the show) is yet to come, Marco. Ugh. Really not looking forward to that.

That suit looks pretty slick! But more important is that it works. Looking forward to seeing it being tested.

It was just a matter of time. Not much time, apparently.

We now have the first public release of Kitten Space Agency live for everyone. How does it work? What do contributions actually do? And how do you control the EVA kitten? All the answers in my latest video: youtu.be/cfVW1H2mpMc

The Escapade success story continues. After the perfect launch on New Glenn, the twin spacecraft are on their way to Mars and communicating.

Is New Glenn going to set a new "most holds before liftoff" record? Livestream here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ecfx...

Escapade is on hold right now. Let's see if we will have a New Glenn launch today. www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9Wp...

Ah, yes, Adobe telling me they'll be increasing my Photoshop/Lightoom plan from 11.99€ to 18.14€ a month just as I got acquainted with Affinity and RawTherapee. I never wanted your cloud. I never wanted a subscription. I just wanted software that works. Now I have alternatives, so GET REKT!

Appropriate shirt for this movie, I hope.

For the first anniversary of Kitten Space Agency being shown to the world, I sat down with Rocketwerkz studio boss @deanhall.bsky.social and we spoke a lot about the future of the upcoming space game and the gaming industry in general. Check it out here: youtu.be/gXV454zoh6c

Just in case some of you might wonder why I am no longer on Facebook. Exhibit #21580123765123.

So much this. Before you sign up to my or another creator's Patreon, make a donation or two to people with 5 subs and 500 views on their video that actually solves one of your problems.

The KSA team pulled off a big milestone! We now have the first fully controllable vessel made of parts. Oh, and I found the hidden WIP editor.... See for yourself! youtu.be/q6EEViX208w

Peak idiocy. You build a bed (!) for thousands of dollars (!!) that can no longer be locally controlled, DESPITE HAVING PHYSICAL BUTTONS (!!!), when there is an internet outage. Unbelievable. Never buy anything for your home that you cannot completely control yourself. Never!

There's hardly a task more frustrating than network issue troubleshooting. My 2.5GbE NIC reverts to 1GbE all the time. My NAS suddenly has a .local added to its SMB share name and I can't get rid of it. And so on. And Google is utterly, fundamentally broken, so no use searching for help.

I've had some time to look at Kitten Space Agency some more and while doing so, I thought about four big challenges the game will face once the public will have access. What do you think about these challenges? Let me know in the comments under the video! www.youtube.com/watch?v=EttJ...

Me: "Let's quickly write a short script for an upcoming video!" Hours later and still not finished:

This is a REALLY good video that gets into the *specifics* of how AI is degrading our information environment and putting truth further out of reach for the average person / the population as a whole

A security vulnerability has been discovered in Unity that also affects Kerbal Space Program and KSP2. In my video I show you how to patch your game: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bvit... Thanks to @zincboy.bsky.social for making me aware of this!

I thought it was time to revisit KSP again, now that the Volumetric Clouds mod has been updated. In ma latest video, I demonstrate how it absolutely transforms Kerbal Space Program's visuals: www.youtube.com/watch?v=kw2s...

Video of the year.

I really want to see "TRON: Ares" but I really don't want to see Jared Leto.

Vienna's public transit system has transported 873 million passengers in 2024. We don't need faulty robots endangering our pedestrians. As someone who actually has studied economy a little at university, it's incredible how low quality a publication called "The Economist" actually is.

It's Friday, everyone! This means, new video! Today, we're talking about the upcoming parts integration into Kitten Space Agency. So check it out here: youtu.be/VtBLziolYVk

I will never activate this feature for my videos. Whenever I encounter a video with automatic dubbing, it makes me physically sick because it is usually SO BAD both from the translation as well as the voice that I want to throw up. Subtitles? Fine. But do not destroy videos by distorting it!

I know we just had a KSA video a few days ago, but I wanted to show you just how fast this game is evolving right now. Between producing my latest video and this a low has changed. And since then even more has changed! But we can do rendezvous now and that's pretty fun! youtu.be/PE5IqDcvYp4

Is there something like "nerd pride"? I managed to increase the size of my EFI boot partition on my laptop without having to reinstall anything. Sure, there was a guide I followed. But still... no more failing BIOS updates because the EFI partition is only 100MB and already 75% filled!

FINALLY, I can show you my first impressions in the Kitten Space Agency pre-alpha. I set this up as an instant premiere, so I'll be in chat with you all the way through these 25 minutes to answer your questions. So come on everyone, let's give this a watch: youtu.be/XlyY58qJ5Ug

This video was taken down by a frivolous copyright strike (5 seconds of US president talking from a news conference). This in combination with that music channels like Rick Beato have to deal with every day is proof that the current system HAS to change.

For anyone who missed the second Kitten Space Agency town hall yesterday, Rocketwerkz has put it up on YouTube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Bga...

While we wait for the first pre-alpha for KSA, I thought it would be a good idea to look at how No Man's Sky pulled off what was denied to KSP2, despite both starting with similarly disappointing launches at first. Hope everyone enjoys this comparison video: youtu.be/jvCiC7nt2EA

In today's video, I want to share with everyone why I think KSP and 3D printing have a lot in common. Wanna know more and also see some of my mishaps with spaghetti filament? Then click right here: youtu.be/sgzSHXhMhpg

Having a 3D printer is amazing! "Oh, I need this small plastic thing that company x charges 50 bucks for." Either I grab my calipers and fire up Blender or I just search for it on Printables or Thingiverse and I'll find something that will do the job. For a few cent of filament.

Wait. A big pharma company forgoing profit so that their new drug will have it easier making lives better for millions of humans? Having lived in the 1980s where HIV was said to be "incurable", this is incredible. newatlas.com/infectious-d... www.ema.europa.eu/en/news/new-....

Might be a bit of a controversional opinion, but I believe Discord is the wrong tool for public communication for things like game development updates. Why? Check out my reasons here: youtu.be/nXVtJh3dTQ8

Ozzy going out after raising $190 million for sick kids and a Parkinson’s cure is metal AF.

After all that talk about Kitten Space Agency, one might think it's the only "KSP successor" around. But there is another! Today, we're having a first look at "Spaceflight Simulator 2" which is going to come out sooner than KSA and which will have a couple of advantages over it: youtu.be/xI4LoZSoO7s

Wait, I thought those TRON characters were all digital. Now I learn they're soldered? We're going retro hardware, everyone! For real though, what I look forward the most in this: the NIN soundtrack.

Kitten Space Agency will publish a pre-alpha release in the coming weeks. Here's five things you (yes you) could do to help make the game better! youtu.be/K68s-ZVDEDw

HECK YES! I know "The Martian" is Andy Weir's most popular novel, but "Project Hail Mary" is excellent in its own right. I think they totally nailed the tone for this. www.youtube.com/watch?v=m08T...
