Well folks, it looks like it's time to do some more saving! The crew of the Kerb Station 1 have only got a few days of life left, will we be able to launch our rescue craft and rendezvous with the a spacecraft in orbit? Tune in to find out!
Thanks as ever for the support folks!

Well my friends, the time has finally come. It's time to launch our inaugural space station! Are we really ready to launch it? Well not really but darn it we'll give it our best shot!
We've the contract, we've got the skills, it's time to pay the bills!

Another week and another montage! We're off to Kerbin's Badlands today on a mission to collect science. Not necessarily because we 'need' the science, more because we have to eventually build a subsonic aircraft to do closer range science collection.
That is the mission for today friends! Thanks as ever for the continuing support :D

We've had quite a few truly close calls recently when it comes to Kerbal health, I really don't know when to play it safe! So this week, we're working on our intergalactic coms network by building a few satellites and sticking them into orbit around various bodies in the solar system.
We're also getting a bunch of research done which is very exciting as it's been a while since we properly invested in our tech tree!

What's like the Mun, but slightly further away from Kerbin? That's right, Minmus of course. We're on an adventure to another moon, and learning a whole bunch of stuff along the way! I've never actually been to Minmus, so this is a first for me. I also talk a bit about future plans for how we'll be running bigger and bigger missions in the future!
Additionally, there are lots of lessons to learnt about the long term health of our Kerbals. What do we learn, well you'll have t...

Hey folks, just thought I would post the separate full 4-minute montage of getting Jeb home just in case you want to watch it independently of the main video.
I'm pretty proud of how it turned out, and if you haven't watched the full video yet you should check it out for a further explanation of this highlight reel!

I spent far too much time on this video. I really don't want to spoil, so you should just watch it :)
This was a highly wild and chaotic episode, and I've put a ton of extra work into this video, so let me know what you think!
Thanks as ever for the continued support folks, this is one of those times where it REALLY only is possible to spend this much time on something thanks to the Patreon.

Whoops, look like this another almost 2 hour episode! Never fear, lots of good stuff gets done including, most importantly, LANDING ON THE FREAKING MOON. Does it go smoothly? Doe we manage to land? You'll have to watch and find out!
That being said I'm really happy how the series is going, and we're making some pretty substantial progress each and every week.
Thanks for the support folks!

Hey folks, apologies for a little bit of a late post on this episode. Some of you may have heard that I now have a fiance, which delayed the recording of this episode a little!
To make up for it, this is a monster of an episode where we prep the moon for Kerbal Habitation! Boy oh boy it's a big one. I'm also pretty certain we launch the most rockets per episode of any episode thus far; so I hope you enjoy!

In order to conduct big missions to faraway planets, we have to get a communications network established. That is the goal of today's episode. Our very own "Spudnik" satellite comms network! In order to do just that we'll need to design, prototype and launch our very own base satellite which will be the basis of all satellites going forward. Is Potato up to the task? You'll have to watch to find out!

After an insane start last week, we look to complete more contracts and establish our space dominance over Kerbin. To do that, we must establish ourselves firmly in orbit, a challenging but very achievable objective, that requires a) cash and b) more cash. Mostly to upgrade our Vehicle Assembly Building. What will happen? Who will survive? Who knows! All I know is that it gets spicy.

Welcome ladies and gentlemen to the Potato Space Program. Crack open a cold one and enjoy the first episode of a brand new and exclusive Patreon series. It's going to be grand, it's going to be glorious, there will be rockets and planes and explosions.
A few things to note straight off the bat: we've got a bunch of really juicy mods installed, which make the game super complex (but waaaaaay more fun) including mods that allow us to build moon bases, satellite networks and m...

As we sunset the first Patreon Exclusive Series, I would like to evaluate how it went. In a word: great! I was really happy with how it turned out, even with the rather lacklustre ending (lacklustre purely because the mods started breaking down). Going forward I'm going to be starting a brand new Patreon Exclusive Series, currently thinking it'll be Kerbal Space Program. What do you think, let me know in the Discord!

This one really really hurt to record. There are so many instances throughout the episode where I get legitimately angry at the video game. You'll have to watch to find out what happens, it can only be described as madness!

The game is changed. Not in any meaningful way, but our approach to patient care is changing, quality is beginning to filter through and we're starting to offer more radiology slots to patients. I talk about the problems with the sexual health mods in this episode, basically non of the procedures can be fixed during the night without hospitalisation (which is impossible). So we'll be looking at a way to fix this going forward!

It's a new month, and you know what that means. It's time to release a new investors letter. This time, however, thanks to a community suggestion (from Banananaa) the $10+ Patrons will get access to a specially recorded video where I read the report and add a smidge of extra information.
This month we're taking a deep dive into the world of Twitch with a bunch of stats.

With more mods installed, I'm finally getting on top of my cash flow issues. In fact, we do actually become cash flow positive by the end of the episode. As is usually the case, however, the journey is more important than the destination. Firing sprees, hiring sprees, this episode quite literally has it all. It's a good one.

A few episodes ago we made the difficult decision to close down the Internal Medicine department due to super low prestige. In this episode, we're pulling out all the stops to make sure it's as good as it can be. In that same vein, we're refurbing a few of our more "retro" departments to just make them look a little nicer.
Thanks as ever for your continued support!

The additional contracts and additional contract mission objectives we picked up a few weeks ago are now coming in super handy. We're continuing to explore all of the juicy rewards they have to offer. We're also growing our patient numbers and sorting our ambulance delivery problems. Weirdly, although the finances continue to fluctuate, I think this may be the *most* productive episode we've had yet!
Thanks for your continued support folks!

So things go really really well in this episode. We add a bunch of new insurance companies which allow us to access a whole bunch of spicy government grants. We're also trying to improve the looks of the hospital to fix the prestige issues!

Lots to do in the Potato Patron Hospital today! We're on a mission to complete events, treat patients, and to expand our operations to the second floor. In other news, we're finally actually making money from our patients, which is really nice. More brain surgery = more money!

Truthfully, I'm pretty good at getting into debt. I'm less good at getting out of debt. In this episode however I make a pretty good attempt at clearing our massive debt pile, oh and there's some fun events too.

I’m grateful for your continued support, and when conceiving of this, I figured you may enjoy a look at what I’m looking at when I’m not recording. Each month I’ll give a brief overview of the whole operation before diving deep on a certain platform whether that be YouTube, Twitch, Patreon etc.

There's a real revelation in this episode. Truth be told, there's a series of revelations, there's also a lot of deaths in operating theatre but cest la vie! Whatever the case, as I'm sure you'd expect there's a huge increase in our debt for a bunch of negligibly valuable projects. It's a blast as ever. These videos are the ones I look forward to recording most at the end of the week!

You may think that given the title of the video that this episode is all about ambulances. Not so, we also accomplish a whole bunch of other important stuff too, like opening our ICU, expanding our HDU capacity, ranting about sexual health doctors not working at night, and of course, getting into ever more debt.
Your support is greatly appreciated as ever, enjoy!

With this one simple trick, you too can be the bane of the insurance companies! The Patron Hospital is starting to rapidly grow. Just today we're fixing brains in the neurology department, there's also the slight issues of huge financial mismanagement.
This is another corker of an episode, and I can't wait until we've assembled all the departments!
