Alright, I'm going to put in a serious reply. That was not being mean. Not to sound like some entitled asshole, speaking down to the plebs, it's an engineering/science thing. People who are in that mindset do away with pleasantries because the mutual understanding of how important it is to get something right, or the fact that it saves time. Peer review is another reason... if you do something wrong, no matter who you are, you get called on it. That is how engineering and science work. So even if he seems gruff or abrupt, that's how the astronaut will be used to people talking with him, especially about design. I hope this helps you to realize that sometimes, people aren't being rude, just utilitarian.

I have NEVER seen someone be able to get a kerbal rocket under control so quickly on their second launch. He actually knows his shit in the real world, as soon as he had a modicum of familiarity with the controls he started correcting the drifts like a pro. I wish Scott had given him another 30 minutes, he probably would have made orbit with relative ease.

Well that was painful and somewhat embarrassing to watch. Also, friendly advice mallard says: when people start asking 'how much time have we got here (10:09) ?' what they are usually trying to say in a polite way is: I'm absolutely bored and this is a brutal waste of my time. Ed Lu was obviously not enjoying himself even once and Scott managed to make him look like a fool who doesn't know anything about space flight. I'm sure the B612 Foundation will happily invite the next nerd over after this episode of ass-hattery. Oh, and speaking from a gamer's perspective: great job not telling him about 'SAS' and enabling it for him, Scott. Another job well done...

Guys please stop being so hateful on Scott, he may have been a little harsh or forceful but they had a very limited amount of time and they couldn't waste that time letting Ed figure out how to play the game on his own, let alone get used to the controls! No, Scott didn't tell him about SAS, but there are reasons to this: Firstly, Ed wouldn't have cared, he didn't even let Scott put a parachute on the ship, let alone give him auto-pilot! And on the subject of autopilot, the whole point was for Ed to have a little bit of fun while advertising his campaign, not to sit there watching a rocket fly straight up into space on it's own! Also, if Ed was patronized, offended or emotionally hurt in any way, he wouldn't have given Scott the green light to post this video! " *Sure I was a little intimidated and my choice of words at times made me seem a little... harsh. But, Afterwards we edited the video and Ed gave me the green light to release it in its current form.* " - Scott. Everything that happened in this video has it's reasons, and they are perfectly valid reasons! So please, stop being so hateful!

Try looking at the prices of Laptops with higher than 1080p displays, the prices of Apple hardware becomes much more competitive. The MacBook Pro I used in the video has a display resolution of 2560x1600 - display resolution is the number 1 thing for me in laptops these days, 1080p doesn't cut it any more.

it kinda makes sense. even if i was a professional car racing guy, it'd probably take me some time to get something done in a car racing game. partly because of unusual controls, partly because no game is exactly completely realistic and even in the most realistic games there just have to be certain parts that are unrealistic (sometimes because technical limitations, sometimes because full complete realism just wouldn't be as much fun, usually a combination of the two) and those small non-realistic parts sometimes manage to catch you off guard.
