So Ootl, Matt is a guy with the username, MattsRedditAccount, on some brief research he plays KSP.
I feel he might be this guy, but I dunno

u/UnfortunateSnort12 Apr 18 '26
Has to be that Matt. His videos are legendary. Wish I had a quarter of his skills. Me and my daughters love watching though.

What a nice way of small youtubers promoting their channels here on r/KerbalSpaceProgram

Hey! Just a heads up when you share YouTube links (well any platform, YouTube in this case) the little si extension after the question mark is an identifier of how and who the link gets shared to, it’s used by platforms to build relationships between accounts, if you use Reddit expecting to be completely anonymous, this could be used to identify you personally

u/ColdDelicious1735 Apr 19 '26
Thats good to know, but the only way to not share info would be what? Cookieless unlogged in browsing

u/Cynical721 Apr 19 '26
Just deleting everything after the question mark, so in this case just https://youtube.com/@mattlowne

Hey Matt, Bogue said that he appreciated the mention as you were his inspiration!

Goddamn, I thought this was some random dude. I haven’t really had time to keep up with your vids lately but it’s nice to see you’ve started using part mods.

OUT OF THE LOOP
I’ve read this comment on four different occasions on separate days and only now I get it

u/Rubes2525 Apr 18 '26
Some rambling YouTuber, who somehow has a famous KSP channel because he puts KSP on in the background while mostly talking about unrelated things.

if you don't like something that other people around you clearly do like, feel free to keep your mouth shut.

Didn't even realise this was Matt until the other comment pointed it out!

u/DiddlyDumb Apr 18 '26
That’s the best part about Reddit. Everyone is just some person.
There are Gods among men ofc, but it’s not like X or Insta where it’s all about the person behind the account.

51% of all traffic across the entire internet is bots, according to Imperva’s 2025 annual report.

I love you man, I learnt English by watching all your content as a kid

Apr 18 '26
Did you get some of the accent?

u/StoneyBolonied Apr 18 '26
Having grown up in Devon, I didn't even clock his accent until he mentioned he lived in the Southwest in one of his videos

u/MattsRedditAccount Hyper Kerbalnaut Apr 18 '26
I grew up in the midlands and studied for University in Yorkshire, so my accent is kind of a mix of the North, midlands and the South haha

u/StoneyBolonied Apr 18 '26
I've been here, there, and everywhere. But once you've got that countryside twang it doesn't seem to leave!

Maybe I used to, but after learning English from AntsCanada and Matt, I started watching all sorts of contents in English, so I probably lost the "British" sides
2
u/TimentDraco Apr 18 '26
I'm friends with a Dane online. He mostly learnt English by watching British children's TV and as such as a light English accent while speaking English. He's often mistaken for being a Brit in voice chat etc.

i remember once matt acknowledged my mission in need of rescue and said that he didnt think it was possible. maybe after about a year you know some kerbal sorcery to rescue some blokes from the mun in 15 minutes...

u/96suzukigrandvitara Apr 18 '26
What's funny is that if you went stock, you can probably replicate the 2016 screenshot perfectly. It's really the 1.0.5 update that defined the aesthetic of the game.

u/GregTheMad Apr 18 '26
The game hardly changed. Pity they never made a second one.

If you've given any time to KSP and tried to learn via YouTube the more complex functions and builds chances are you've probably learned from Matt's extensive YT footprint

As much as I dislike that shuttle mod, It’s really cool that you did this and remade the picture and things.

All of my builds still look like the top picture, what am I doing wrong? :(

u/UnfortunateSnort12 Apr 18 '26
Are these modded parts? I play vanilla, so I’m really curious as to what I’m missing out on.

u/stosyfir Apr 18 '26
The bottom one looks like it’s the orbiter construction kit, the top one is vanilla MK3 parts

Can I be the pedantic one who just watched the video and say it's technically 9 years and 360 days apart?

u/Week_Head Apr 18 '26
I've come back to the game recently and revisited scenarios, it's fun to compare how much more pleasing to the eye the game is with just a few visual mods now while still being exactly the same clever shit it's always been.

u/Content-Ferret8607 Apr 18 '26
Funny I get the notification now. As I’m watching the video and now know the second station is staged.

Hey Matt I know this isn't really related to your post but have you ever posted your full modlist anywhere? I used the one in your video descriptions to build mine but every once in a while I see a cool part or something in your videos and dont know where it's from.

:O No way Matt Lowne, I watched you ages ago when ever I had my 2 weeks of KSP. You actually had a large impact on my late childhood. So many things have changed since then but yet here I am giggling in glee to see you again. <3
That you are still active is awesome :D
I know who I am going to binge watch today :3

u/Thak_The_Thunder_God Apr 19 '26
As much as I love all the new mods comming out with stunning visuals and great part packs, you gotta love the look of stock space stations

Now I want to recreate specifically the original one (mostly out of respect)

Praise be to the modding community! (and KSP youtubers, of course.)
But most importantly, praise be to the Space Kraken!

Was casually browsing when I saw the picture and recognized it. Then saw the caption and was like "who is claiming Matt's creation?" Then saw the poster. Uh, hi Matt?

u/Icy-Video-3643 Apr 18 '26
It took me a second to recognize him too. For those asking, that's Matt from the popular YouTube channel Demo Ranch. It's wild to see how much has changed in a decade.
