What keeps ThatGuyGlen busy when there isn't a new documentary? Rockets with a habit of tearing themselves apart are a good place to start. His Kerbal Space Program film is the channel's most active video right now, ahead of the more recent Lethal Company documentary.

There were no new uploads this week, but the existing catalog added about 88,000 views. Subscribers held steady, while today's viewing is a little busier than the channel's usual daily pace.

In "How Kerbal Space Program Was Made & Why NASA Took it Seriously," Glen follows Felipe Falanghe's unlikely opportunity to build a spaceflight game inside Squad, a marketing company with no game-making history. The development story includes a wonderfully specific headache: floating-point precision problems that could pull spacecraft apart in flight. Players gave that destructive bug a suitably monstrous name, the Kraken. Little green astronauts supplied the playful face of a project whose creators were learning increasingly complicated aerospace concepts.

The Lethal Company documentary offers a different kind of engineering story. Glen explores how solo developer Zeekerss changed the game's structure, giving the ship a stronger role and making unreliable communication part of its co-op horror. Proximity chat and walkie-talkies aren't just conveniences here; they help turn scrap collecting into stories friends can retell.

Among nearby gaming channels, Giant Bomb had a larger viewing week, while My Life in Gaming had a smaller one. Glen's own active shelf also reaches back to Pokémon Gold and Silver, with a documentary exploring Game Freak's development delays and the decisions behind Johto's layout.
