Skylon

I was building a small craft from scratch (straight from KIS container with no pre-launched root part) on the Mun surface. While it had sufficient communications, power and a probe core it couldn't launch. Is this something that can't be done, and if not could it (at all/easily) be added as a feature? This is something I think would be cool to be able to do. This was a while ago and I have since recycled the parts but I could try to recreate for pics.

I may also make some of the mentioned craft, though don't expect much. I don't know if you really want pictures on these threads, but I will edit my previous post to contain a picture of SFELP-1. Right now I don't have time to build it though, but hopefully I can get it up in a day or two.

I ask the @MinimalMinmus's permission to write about the Viktorian Era and the Kindustrial Revolution in similar style to Origins of Life and Extra-Terrestrial Activity Love your Encyclopedia so far

I though it was the vicinity of Betelgeuse . And that's a tall kerbal . Have fun

I second that

Mission 2: CS-01 and Minsat-A Objective: Place a commercial sat in orbit and set up a Minmus communications network Craft: KSat+ OBL-M1 Stage Launcher: MLA-2R 'Storm' Order of Operations: Launch craft to orbit>Recover launcher>Separate commercial sat and place in specified orbit>Transfer craft to Minmus>Release 1 sat in 100km orbit>Release the other sats after two orbits of 3/4 the orbital period Images: Minsat-02 in orbit Result: Success; booster recovered, contact completed and communication network partially set up Trying to cut down on the amount of pictures now. Avoiding recovery pictures, though I will normally add one splashed down/landed. Mission 3 will land on minmus, though it may be pushed back

I hope you don't mind this too much. So it doesn't get in anyone's way, it is in a spoiler. Extra-terrestrial activity and the origins of life on Kerbin:

Well, I found this thread: And this one: So yeah

(Tell me if there is already one of these threads) Here you can speculate how the kerbolar planets came to be how they are and where they are. Any alien intervention/ presence during the formation can be considered... To start off, maybe Eeloo used to be one of Jool's moons, but got ejected out by another Jool moon such as Tylo or Laythe... Questions for you: (Easter eggs in spoiler) Was/ is there life on Laythe? How did it get there? Why did it die out? Where does life on Kerbin come from?

My guess is Pia-NO I wonder if the trumpet has good aeroDYNAMICS We should stop before he loses his tempo If I think of anymore puns I'll be Bach Lets hope he doesn't get band

If the scaling continues, we're going to hit A Major catastrophe And then we'll B in treble

Here is my single module minmus station. Has a 2 kerbal lander can, science lab, comms and solar equipment and an airlock.

You may have posted this somewhere before, but did you make these craft on career or sandbox mode? Love your craft BTW, good balance of simple, aesthetically pleasing and, from what I can see, functional.

Good luck! I hope it goes well

Mission 1: KSO-01 Objective: Transfer lab module to Minmus Craft: OBL-L2 (Launched), KS-C1 'Atlas' Launcher: MLA-2RB (to be recovered) Order of Operations: Launch-Sep-Orbit-First stage recovery-Sep-Docking-Stage 2 recovery-Transfer to Minmus Stage 1: Stage 2: Docking and Minmus Transfer: OBL-Min Result: Success. Both stages recovered. Minmus communications network to be set up. Next Mission: Satellite launch Adding those pictures took a while. I may stick to albums for now.

What is the easiest way to move this to the spacecraft exchange? Or is this post in the right place?

Mission 1 will come shortly. Today or tommorow. I did attempt it earlier but with 2 stages to be reused and low fuel margins I decided to install FMRS. It will be to transfer a pre-launched Orbital Labs Module (OBL-L2) to Minmus orbit. Mission 2-3 will be launching the crew/service module and landing module to orbit, and landing on minmus. I plan to return science to the lab module to be processed. Mission 4 will launch a contract sattelite/s, though I do not yet have a good launcher with a reusable sattelite stage. Mission 5 may test launch a refueller for the KS-C1 'Atlas' transfer module.

A bit late. Elon Musk plans to send the Red Dragon to Mars in three years. He got that 2020 vision

Welcome to my Career Save. After hundreds of hours of KSP, I still have never really gotten anywhere with career saves. It went like this: I would start a new career, do a few things, get science and get bored and start a new one. I even did it with sandbox. But now I feel I am really getting into a career save. I call it the United Kerbdom Korperations. Here are my craft: Launchers: Station Modules: Landers: Bases: Mun Base Alpha

I feel I am still in the early stages of my first 'proper' career. I have 2-man landers for science at the Mun and Minmus, but, other than that I have no infrastructure. No stations, no mining (I need to upgrade R&D to be able to unlock that), no science labs, nothing. Until I assembled OBL-K at Kerbin, spurred on by a contract for a 6-kerbal station. Holds up to 6 kerbals (unless you want to put them in the airlock or cupola to sleep, that is), has a science lab and a solar/communications array to support it. Oh, and launched by fully reusable boosters (not included in the album). Here is the album: http://imgur.com/a/Pk2oS BTW, this is my first post, I hope you like it . Before long I will have a vehicle to transfer other modules to the Mun/Minmus for assembly. Got the lifter album done, in the VAB, no flight pictures (yet): http://imgur.com/gallery/tUYww
