That moment you realize the expensive nuke-powered transfer stage you carefully lobbed into orbit and docked to your equally-expensive nuke-powered mining/refinery craft in preparation for the upcoming Duna transfer window to send to Ike ... doesn't have radiators, because the last time you used this kind of design was back in 0.26 and we didn't have to worry about such things.

 

Curiously enough, I havent had any of my LV-N's overheat. Does it actually happen? And is it because you are in an atmosphere? I only use it for 5-20 minute burns. Haha

When you spend an hour and a half rendezvousing in LKE and your ships won't dock - BECAUSE ONE IS A REGULAR DOCK AND ONE IS A JR!!

 

I tell you what, man; I got really good at rendezvousing that way.

Does it work? Lol I havent tried docking the 2 together.

Thank you everyone for your stories and in return, knowledge and things to remember/not do. Didn't realize it was going to be this active. I only bought the game this winter Steam sale and have put far more hours then I expected. Constantly reverting my launches.

Slowly getting better. But not sure how to get a maximum Delta V's. I'm guessing I will have to build some sort of fueling station around Kerbin, And another around Duna for a return trip. THIS GAME IS SO AWESOME! Lol. But Seriously thank you all for the stories and input and amount of activity.

Edit: I know I promised to put Bill in orbit around the sun as a few early posts mentioned you left him behind for Bob or Jeb. But he has become my chief of engineering. Maybe in the future, i'll put him out there as a self rescue mission.

Thank you!

Flamingo, how hard and how long did you try jumping and spamming the grab/climb button? It must have been so close.

Dang ottothesilent, you seem to have had it rough beyond me. Duna is far, although i can't believe you simply left a fellow Kerbal hanging around Minmus! Now that i've mastered it my next stage is Duna. But poor Bill, but then again I only use Jeb so I don't know or care who Bill is either! Haha! Let him hang in orbit for another 27 Years!

Edit: Also seems like 5thhorseman cares as little about Bill as yourself... Bill must not get along with people well. When I meet him..... I promise to put him in orbit EVA style around the Sun. I will post a picture soon.

That moment when you realize you forgot your passengers once you've reached Minmus.
That moment when you realize on re-entry you forgot to equip your capsule with parachutes.
That moment when you realize you have no landing gear when you are about to land on a new planet/moon.

What are things you realized once you got to your destination?

When I forgot my passengers, i decided to rescue a Kerbal around Minmus for a contract instead, and land and make it a science run.
When I forgot my landing gear I used my storage bay door 'Open' command to bounce the ship up enough to burn thrusters to escape.
When I forgot my parachutes, I left the craft in orbit and did a self rescue mission to retrieve my Kerbal.

What did you do to solve your delimas.
