I generally listen to a variety, protomen, iron maiden, etc.
but this one is one of my favorites.

She's got 6 engines, weighs 27 tons and has been tested to carry 1.5x her own weight on her back. I use her to carry heavy experiments and drop them in places across kerbin, you could probably modify it to be a passenger carrier or something too if you wanted. Probably handy if you wanna go make a base on the north pole and haven't unlocked the mk3 stuff on career yet.
The 6 engines let her survive at incredibly steep angles while carrying oversized payloads, handy if you need to get into a tight approach or whatever you're using it for.
(Carrying a 47 ton spaceY booster on the back)
Action groups: 1= reverse thrust, 2=flaps deployed.

It generally is - and if you've done one or one thousand, it always raises the pucker factor to max levels. Once you've rotated onto the localizer and set your throttle, one of the nicest feelings in the world is seeing that glideslope needle settle in exactly where it's supposed to. Or so I'm told anyway; in 20 years of blind landings I doubt I've got a perfect one yet.
The landing was actually a practice for "radar assisted landings" which basically means if your ILS has failed somehow the ATC can give you direct instructions on how to orientate the plane. I don't fly out of a controlled airport though so the instructor was sorta acting like ATC giving directional instructions. Pretty sure the ILS on their Pa28 is broken.

Excellent! You didn't say how it went; a first-time instrument landing is always hairy. So how did it go?
it was pretty beanboozling landing without seeing the runway
-
so i've been a student pilot with 35 hours and 5 solos and i got to land a pa28 wearing those weird face covery thingies guiding the thing down by instrument
with an instructor ofc
was pretty neato and pretty beanboozling

I'm a bit of an enthusiast so.
Core i7 4770k.
GTX 980 twin frozr V.
2tb of hdd
250gb of ssd
8 gigs of corsair vengeance
its pretty dank

Mind If I make an F86 to compete?
-
I'll build the good old Titan Gemini spacecraft, it's been a while since I've made something hip and cool.
-
All my guns are .17 cal, I might be stepping up to .22 hollowpoint since .17 is a bit weak for shooting hard targets at distance.
-
I'm a bit of an airgunner, up here in Canada it's a tad bit of a challenge to get firearms so I got the next best thing, I got a good family of them going.

Jeb was in a very interesting mood at the time, but he insisted.
-
I made this one myself.
-
I don't mean to brag, but this is pretty rep worthy.

The album does not appear to be working, here's a link.
And of course on the way!

This is why you back up your saves people!
-
All this needs is to be compatible with realism overhaul, then the RSS people like me can play around with what the Chinese built.

Here's the album in which I relived Apollo.
I have a new and more L.E.M like lander from when I did this, but I'm using RSS now and the screenshots of that lander are lost.

And here's my modern day styled mission to Minmus and back (Constellation styled)

Sorry, I don't know how to post albums yet.
Gosh darnit!

These would be great with a RSS Config, a few dwarf planets like Ares, Sedna, some more Moons of other planets.

I believe Juno has a camera.
Juno is slated to dive into the atmosphere of Jupiter in 2017, so until then, be patient and stay strong, friend.
I want to see what Jupiter would look like on a surface level along with Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.
The idea of a Gas/Ice giants fascinates me.
It's to bad Juno won't get low enough to take those kinds of pictures.
-
Camera = mass and cost, the two additional things you don't want on a space mission. Plus, on a probe with such a limited lifetime, you want to maximize the amount of bandwidth going for the primary scientific data as opposed to things like pictures.
Nowadays though, cameras are a lot lighter and cheaper than they were when Galileo was designed. Might a gas giant entry probe have a camera now? We'll see, whenever one is made again...
That makes sense, they're designing a Saturn atmospheric mission, they'll probably give it a camera or two.
-
I'm one of the younger KSP forumers, so I'd rather not for judgemental reasons.
-
By the galileo probe, I mean the atmospheric probe.
It would've been great to see some pictures of Jupiter inside its cloud layer, why didn't they put a camera on it?
Was the heat to intense to get a proper image or something?

Loving the new update, that sphere orbital module is beautiful.

ALCOR is a separate mod yes.
