Boosters and Spacetape - A Kerbal Space Program Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

We've hit a crossroad. We came back to celebrate KSP2, but it's not quite there yet. Maybe we jumped on the bandwagon too quickly. Maybe we're too long in the tooth to report on another development of a game. Or maybe we need to focus a little less on just KSP. We discuss our feelings about the show as it stands currently and ask for some feedback on where we go from here.

As promised, we took an opportunity to look back on KSP1 and share our memories and experiences throughout Kerbal Space Program's initial development. We reminisce about the early days of KSP1's first release, our KSPTV experiences and our early hopes during KSP's beta builds.

With Aki and Read absent, Mator and Digi are joined by a guest: LinuxGuruGamer (The Mod Father!), who is a prolific modder, mod saviour and mod janitor of Kerbal Space Program. Linux talks through what it means to be a mod-maker/mod-maintainer. The hosts also discuss the very welcomed KSP2 0.1.1.0 patch.

Mator, Digi and Read run through their thoughts on KSP2 after the Early-Access release. This is the first episode where Aki is absent from the team, but does not escape the editing. Read offers concerns over what the Starlink project might mean for the future of outer-space while Digi brings in a new section to the show... 'That's not science, Digi!'. Finally, Mator announces some future changes to the show as all four hosts try to find a way to form a recording routine.

The team is finally back together to talk about KSP2 after 2 years of being away from the microphones. Early Access is about to drop and we wanted to talk about what we know so far, and what we hope to see in the release. We also share our fondest memories of KSP1 in this special off-line episode.

Only Mator and Aki are present for this show. Read was feeling under the weather and Digi was unable to attend a mid-week recording. But we could not delay the episode any longer as it was our last chance to record in the year 2020.

We discuss what the the Kerbal Space Program 1.11 update will bring and share our excitement for this release. KSP2 is delayed until 2022 and we share our thoughts on that as well as the most recent Dev Diary from Intercept Games.

Mator shares his experience with the most recent rocket launches and who will be the first members to walk on the moon. Aki discusses the sad news of the Arecibo Observatory collapse.

Kerbal Space Program celebrates 9 years in the making and we look at some of the facts Squad shared since releasing Kerbals into our care. Our overview of KSP2 news covers the way Kerbals will look and behave when the second version of this great game is released.

Mator covers off some of the recent Space-X launches (and some that didn't launch!), which sends Digi and Aki off onto a rather stranger tangent...

An episode is squeezed out just before Aki returns to the UK and it seems the pandemic hasn't caused a lack of news for both Kerbal Space Program and KSP2 this time. Version 1.10 drops for KSP and we go over the new features while the KSP2 slot is taken up with an inevitable discussion about the new Intercept Games studio.

Mator runs through the Crew Dragon Demo-2 launch in our real-space segment while Aki get the other hosts to guess the RPM of the fastest known spinning object. A community questions has us discussing which launch/mission in history we would like to be a part of.

We decided to leave the record button on after closing out the KSP content and this is the result. Our after-parties leave us discussing non-KSP related general gaming news and other material (including crock-pots!).

Topics covered are the new pricing for Twitch in Australia, Steam Licencing, Fallout 4 Creation Club headaches, a streamers culinary best friend, and current and wishful game remakes!

Warning - this episode contains strong language!

The pandemic continues to hinder our sanity as well as the release of fresh information, so we return to the Making History expansion for an overview of what the DLC provides. We discuss some things we'd like to see in KSP2 before moving on to our first listener email since relaunching the show. The Real Solar System mod is discussed as a result, and we also cover some communication mods that we've been using in recent play-through's of Kerbal Space Program.

We revisit some questions from the last episode in the real-space section and The Read Panda brings the Theia Theory, which covers the most popular idea on the formation of the Moon, to his Space History Corner.
