  1. Banned for realizing your mistake
  2. Rather compelling evidence you have there... I have to agree with you!
  3. I use nuke at 200km ASL! Electronics are fried!

  7. Why do Kerbals hate the atmosphere? (Ba dum tssssssssssss)
  8. When your friends want someone to change the subject and tell you that if it’s about space, they’re going to be very annoyed, to say the least.
  9. Started working on “Columbia Heavy”. (A few days in one post) 1st launch: Columbia orbiter with LR launch stack, 170+t payload, 168t downmass attempted— made orbit easily, though 2 minutes for an ~80 m/s burn was a little ridiculous IMO. Landing failed badly since the downmass outweighed the orbiter by probably 70 tons. Crew was a little lucky to survive. Launch 2: LV-N+6 Puffs+2 mk3 monoprop tanks removed from orbiter, poodle+7200 tank added to orbiter, 194t launched, no downmass attempted—orbit was easy again, but same TWR issue, except being able to have the abort LF+O reserves in use for orbital maneuvering was a good moment for me. Shuttle was very stable during reentry, so slowing down was difficult at best. Overshot KSC by 1/8 of the planet, used SSMEs to boost to the next landmass and was able to land there without issue. Next launch: 1 3600 tank removed from front fuel reserves on orbiter, booster main engines reconfigured to have 13 Vectors in center+ 2 rings of 6 instead of mainsail in center and 1 ring of 8 vectors, heavier payload planned.

  10. Designed a new rover for playing around on Eve, but didn’t include an antenna. *facepalm* Sent a few relays to near Eve space to set up for the orbital insertion (mainly planning and fine tuning, luckily comnet settings allow partial control). Realized I forgot a decoupler for the final stage, so a lot closer on fuel than I thought, especially after a test to see if ion engines can cause explosive decoupling (they can’t). *facepalm 2* At least I thought about correcting it for the craft file so I won’t forget.
  11. Launched a shuttle with a reusable kermanned booster... but I forgot to check the CoL/CoM after extending it for more fuel, so way too stable. Barely made it on the runway, where I crashed it... with the cockpit surviving. As a side note, FMRS doesn’t like it if you crashland something with only the root part intact, so I had to try again. Decided the water was a better landing spot that time! Edit: facepalmed about the design flaw

  13. 7/10 looks cool, but not related to KSP. (Rate profile pic)
  14. If you find that you often have plenty extra fuel in your orbital stages, you can place a docking port instead of a decoupler and leave it for later, at the cost of only .01t as of 1.4, and before with no mass difference, though drag might be a concern.
  15. That will depend on which version @Elon Kerman Jr is using, which I think was 1.4.1. Since I can’t figure out how to go back a version, Sorry about that. You do not need making history expansion.
  16. @Elon Kerman Jr, have you finished your turn yet?
  17. Ethan’s probable reaction to this remark: My reaction to this remark:
  18. You can have Mechjeb dock for you as long as you in some way remove the mechjeb part from the module when you are finished docking.
  19. You can leave them in the gamedata, as long as the parts aren’t used on the station. It would not be possible because everyone would need it. I think that it uses the stock scanning parts, so those would work on the module, but using scansat scanning would not. You can launch that as a module
  20. Sure, I think at least some mods have updated. I’ll update the OP
