One: If money and resources were no barrier, what would your wildest dream for the direction of KSP be?

  • Maxmaps: Full virtual reality simulation from the IVA viewpoint. I just want to feel like I’m going into space. May be a terrible idea if I mess up the staging, though.

  • Rowsdower: KSP: The Movie, starring Ed Norton as Jebidiah.

Two: Your game as a whole is almost unanimously liked or loved by its players. What kind of emotions do you feel given the amazing progress you've made, and that you've created a fun videogame that has changed lives and influenced careers, etc?

  • Ted: I've only been at Squad since July, being a volunteer in a couple areas of KSP for a year prior to that so the effect it has on me is probably a bit less. But overall it's incredibly surreal and feels incredibly humbling that people love something that you put a lot of your time into and it makes it all the more worth it.

  • Rowsdower: KSP is a unique, highly creative game that sort of parallels the creativity and drive of the staff behind the scenes. Consider the game to be our ship. How can we keep building it? How can we make things better? How far can we go? It’s the one place where the biggest ideas are the ones least scoffed at. It’s extremely inspiring to see that members of the community have taken those same lofty goals upon themselves and made such enormously positive life changes because they, like we, dreamt big and chased it.

Three: If you ever have downtime to actually play KSP, what has to be your favorite part? What are you happiest with?

  • Maxmaps: Powered landing. I am terrible at it but when I pull it off it is the most rewarding thing ever.

  • Ted: Gameplay-wise, I find building space stations and interplanetary vessels the most satisfying and entertaining thing to do.

  • Samssonart: Career mode, definitely, and currently we're just seeing the tip of the iceberg.

  • Rowsdower: Fire. I’ve seen a lot of it, so I’m very happy with the way the game’s fire looks - and crashing. Yep, fire and crashing. It’s satisfying.

  • HarvesteR: I have a lot of fun building ridiculously-shaped aircraft and tweaking them until they actually fly. That’s actually how the Albatross 3 came to be… You should see the other 2 before it. ;)

Four: Alot of the player base are space fanatics. I know I live my life under the glorious leadership of NDT and Cmdr. Hadfield, but do people on the team also have their heads above the clouds? Thanks guys!

  • Ted: I definitely look up to a lot of significant or popular figures in the Aerospace Industry and tend to always follow the current residents of the ISS on Twitter.

  • Maxmaps: A passion for space is pretty much a job requirement around here!
