I love explaining stuff!
I coded an n-body gravity simulation using a 60 year old programming language! (Basic ~ 1964 .. 10BC)

Had to emulate an old MSDOS computer for that. Some visual effects are added in post...

In my early days of learning how to code I was so fascinated by code, I thought for sure one day people will read code like novels. For entertainment! lol

to_be or not to_be, that is always True

New video coding with Python in KSP again! This time a little more theory though. So no actual KSP. But it was necessary because I will use this as template for all my console KSP apps! Just a video on how to make a "pretty" console app!

Working on a tutorial to code a very basic guidance computer in KSP. First step is to learn how to control the throttle by hovering and landing. Just using the altitude as information from the craft! Turned out way smoother than I thought without fancy algortihms!

Both Vega and Biomass were quite tricky to make in KSP. I'm quite happy with the final result! Vega is only a little cheaty with those fins at the bottom but upper stages have none! I only have to coast to 25k before staging. And look at that reflector!

The Thermosphere is often used to prove spaceflight is not real haha Like it's some secret fact "they" are hiding. No, it's in plain sight actually. Just not very thick!

Does the Thermosphere prevent Spaceflight?

Little animation comparing Earth and K2-18b! Made with Blender. K2 looks a bit bland but that's mostly due to its red dwarf host star, which doesn't have many blue/green colors on the spectrum. It's mostly shades of red colors.

Few people know that you can actually code with KSP!
And it's not that difficultt and even works in a live environment! You don't have to write files if you don't like! (but you can ofc)

My process of creating a rather complex machine in KSP. It starts super simple. And once one simple thing works I add another simple thing on top.

Many simple things become one complex thing!

Kerbal Space Program is such a timeless piece of software it's crazy! Thanks to modders it ages like fine wine!

Here my recreation of SpaceX Starship. The flap is a custom made control surface that uses a servo and is bound to pitch.
