KSP2 Ep7 - KEI, Asteroids around Fomalhaut and A.I. 0
May 19, 2023

Digi is away to celebrate Mother’s Day, leaving Mator, TheReadPanda and Aki to run the show. Despite the lack of interruptions and questionable science, the episode still runs on as usual. We end up discussing the KSP1 mod Kerbal Environmental Institute and the differences between Career and Science modes. We cover some more upcoming features of the next KSP2 patch. Mator brings up the Fomalhaut asteroid belt and Read brings some good news about the Voyager space probes. During Read-Ed, we digress off onto a big tangent about Artificial Intelligence.

KSP2 Ep6 - v0.1.2.0 Frame Rates, Victor Glover and Chunks of Concrete 0
May 6, 2023

All four hosts are back together again. Aki compares the frame rates of Kerbal Space Program 2 v0.1.2.0 between two PCs that are 10 years apart in age with interesting results. Matoro covers his media experiences with the Starship launch and his interview with Victor Glover, the pilot of Artemis 2. TheReadPanda brings an interesting discussion about the Moon lander contract for Artemis 3. Digi, of course, brings his own science to the show.
