non-Twitter user Val wanna go space Missiles are missing So difficult way today

Aircraft carrier pure stock K-atapult (r) for take-off and arrestor hook after landing (build new aircraft carrier, new videos soon) (main speed reduction by hook) epic spaceplane take off from k-arrier with k-atapult, and then orbit Kerbin

+1 no problem to make rocket/ssto/spaceplane/shuttle to send something to any planet. but don't have time... really ps: maybe i also land something later ... or even this craft from Eve to Kerbin... but IRL time... pps: i like hypersonic craft... so i try to find time...

Ок... not sure about "super", but it is for "impossible" 790kg winged probe core+1battery from orbit to Eve surface (splachdown at 10 m/s... not a problem to land this at 6 m/s) (if i get it right) ------------------------------ ps: and with or Russian fellows we now argue what is this challenge means???? : 1.from orbit of Eve to Eve? 2. from orbit of Eve to Kerbin? 3. What mean suborbital trajectory????????? it is under 70km of Kerbin/90 km of Eve (if it is really Eve landing point)???? or it is any suborbital trajectory????? reentry at 2200m/s and 1000m/s is a great heat difference???? So if .... i fall from Eve to Kerbin I can change suborbital trajectory???? 4. Or challenge is to test our telepathic abilities to verify what it all means??? :))))))

My "Mounsieur-K" SSTO with variable wing geometry . Stock video ps: .craft file here http://spacedock.ru/ksp/sandbox/saves/aircrafts/5675-mounsieur-k-ssto-izmenyaemaya-geometriya-kryla.html (sorry Russian language but you can find .craft there under video)

Badie, what is "probe" in this challenge = 1. probe = probe core = 1 part ??????? 2. or probe means ... device (from several parts = science parts, power supply, landing "legs", probe core, uncoupled decoupler, heat shield, cargo bay, lightsource... ) ????????????????

not sure about decoupling of crew cabin before start... but here is my version 5,48 tonn (6,79 with rover), capacity 1, cost 25334 (with rover), i dont use power to fly after reentry (miss click and use 1 point of fuel not even at 1/10 of full power) Score =1* (25334 / (5,477^2) =25334/29,921=846,69 if i get it right way.... or i must *0 and my score is 0 =))))))))))))))))))))))) i really dont know why i take extra fuel... 200 m/s.... but ok i really don't want to decrease it and fly again... and i dont know why i build this kind of very expensive and heavy rover ps:i cut video because its deep night ...time to rest and i only have adsl modem to load it pps: sorry for my poor english.. i really dont understand powered flight after reentry its good or bad? as for me it is not good to take extra fuel to space and back... it is looks like waste of money. what if i have power but not use it because of precision landing?

.....UPDATED: my monopropelant Duna glider mission and back to Kerbin

Man it's great! i liKe k-reative k-onstruKtion in challenges , not the mission goals.

no cheats = all facilities&ships destructible, heat on/

hi, but what about my landing (video) on page 3 ? stock parts, mass in ker window, no cheats. ...but not in list...

found what game cant calculate impact properly. maybe it is not have time to calculate part by part division and decoupling. so at hi speed it looks like the whole ship at last second calculated as 1 part.

ok, no problem at all

And I did it, not for weight (it is only 380,85 tonn), but for fun... and its VERY K-ompli-Kated to flight and land vertikal k-onstruktion liKe this

looks like I need a crane too..... at this time i cant land this in 1 pcs I try again when find time to do it ps; but just have fun with it =)))))

I really don't understand what sea I must cross (looks like it mean "any"), so just build Mach 3.4 plane that can cross "all" seas+oceans (can do circumnavigation 2 times, but fly in video 1 time... sorry not have any time IRL)

is it normal or just aerodynamics bug? (still have 1.2.2, but looks like it present in 1.3)

really beautiful badge ,thx ! ps: and video for you as gratitude - my old stock submarine (no nukes at this time, but... look for fun ) https://youtu.be/tow9JLN8fsA

it is under video. or here http://my-files.ru/inutnu or here https://files.fm/u/mqwpfczd

My old (2016) millitary spaceplane and hypersonic guided warhead ... but it in RSS/RO .. i test hypersonic reentry heat, and possible heat protective сonstructions in FAR aerodynamic with Mach 20 to 4 interval. I have in mind what extremaly need to build long hypersonic flight warhead (total 11000km flight) to protect against potential anti-missile defense with common level of realism overhaul tech. Also find way to create impty-winged spaceplane to prograde atmosphere reentry (potentialy avoid stress in wings metall, irl no fuel in wings = lower mass and posibility to add ablation sheet in front of wings)

About this mod (you can find all of this par. in video I posted above) : 1. mod cool 2. looks like some glitches in side elements aerodynamic - look at light blue arrows at my video 1;00 - is it in wrong direction? 3. dont find normal connectors for me between Mk2.5 parts and stock Mk1, Mk2, about this: 4. and again not for this mod, but for STOCK 1.2.2 aerodynamic drag calculate wrong for mk2 cargobays . it calculate elements inside closed cargobay, not total weight and drag for closed cargobay. So spaceship with 1 container what weght 5,5 tonn not receive as much air resistance as rover with 50 parts what weight 5 tonns. So 1-st payload go to space, 2-nd payload - no ....because speed in atmosphere not up properly. I dont know maybe this bug solved in 1.3? /just put in my ssto mk2 cargobays something with many elements not connected in node-to-node and you see this/

Sorry, I did not quite understand: "to build a shuttle/winged orbiter or SSTO" "The orbiter must be lifted into space by a Launch System that decouples or un-docks once expended, allowing the Orbiter to land entirely under it's own power." SSTO and decoupled LS? But HOW? is SSTO means single stage to orbit? single = not decoupled engines= not decoupled launch system? I ask about it because I build 2.5. parts +stock ssto what carries 2 part payload (aka 10km/s dv ion deep space manned spaceship). But Is my SSTO (not spaceship) good for this challenge? If good enough I can build video of flight, if not - please tell where is my misunderstanding... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- UPDATED video here (sorry some mistakes in description text because did it at deep night...): and i made a better energy system for ion spaceship (but lost 1-2 km dV, now 9 km dV if decouple unnecessary empty xenon tanks at right time Looks like it 55.5 points 50 for flight, 5.5 for 5.5 tonn ion spaceship (i can do heavyer, but dont want in my kerbal space program at this time) craft file here (if someone want it) http://dropmefiles.com/cr1ZB

Sorry that I'm interfering with this holiday of universal happiness and... the universal fall of prostration in the face of a new update. С'mon... your must be kidding... again..and again... I must wait for mod update for play my old career??? AGAIN???? why???? ONLY for language pack (even for my russian) and minor bug fixing? Not for me! I come back to 1.2.2 in Steam!!!! And wait Until all mods upgrade.......so...... 1.3 is nothing for me... Excuse me for being frank - but I write what I think ! ps: and again i did not find: new planets, new stock star systems, new level graphic arts, game optimization for 1000+ details in craft.... But I must be happy ...? Nope Happiness also is not found... pps: but now, haters can burn me... "And yet it moves!"

Today Polit Kolitburo gave the assignment to Jeb an Bill "It is necessary to give an asymmetric answer for this challenge!" So they made an asymmetrical SSTO named "K-razy One"
