  1. After a long absence due to various personal reasons. I am back and playing on a new career. The probe Zira became the first Kerbal made object to flyby Scar. Aslo got a Frontier rise. Yes, I am still sending Juno Guidance units as probes, No TUFX right now due to the planet and Moon being dark.
  2. Alternatively you could have the snow on the other end of the Runway instead, it can be made crucial to have the plane take off quickly.
  3. I am really liking this pack but I noticed a bug with the terrain, but it could be me. Parts of the Space center is below ground including the runway which makes plane launched very hard to impossible. Not sure if this is the mod itself or a mod I have.
  4. The Space Pencil is coming nicely. As for launching it without a B-52? I'd say strap a booster to the back and launch it vertically ala Dyna Soar, is it unconventional? Yes, is it Kerbal Also yes.
  5. It can be used to launch a Orion drive rocket into high orbit....without violating international treaties.
  6. True and fortunately we got it into orbit and enroute to Valentine. If it succeeds we might one day open up tourist destinations to the Valentine system just will take 75-100 years to get there lol.
  7. "Magic star above Send a message to my love Tell her that I'll wait patiently Sad and so lonely Dreaming of her only Swift and graceful as a dove way up above."
  8. That mission to Laythe last week gave me just enough science to unlock Nuclear Pulse rockets. As to how to test it we are gonna send a probe to Valentine which may take about 75-120 years to get to and we just had enough budget to send a probe there without science equipment. And yes the probe core is a Juno Guidance unit. Unfortunately a Standard S-II with standard J-2s was not powerful enough to get it up. So we may or may not had violated a international treaty, atleast it wasn't used for war.
  9. Werhner Von Kerman decided instead of sending Voyager 2 to land on Duna's polar caps we should send it to Sarnus' moon Tekto. Hey no use arguing against him since he provides us snacks. Wow most of the planets are alligned.
  10. Procedural parts are your best friend in Career mode. I tend to use them for extra Monopropellant and battery storage though lately I have been using them for LS as well.
  11. Ok I know I am really late for the Voyager/Mars Bandwagon but after many flybys of planets and manned landings on the Mun and Minmus, I was finally able to get enough science for all the parts with Skyhawk's Tree. No cool reentry effect it wasn't going that fast. I am starting to believe I am very lucky on landing landers right between huge rocks.
  12. Decided to visit the North Pole.....on Minmus. No LRV because of the rocky terrain and I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I have Breaking Ground and a engineer but there is no option to put the LRV parts on it only in the chassis storage, what do I need to do to fully assemble the LRV?
  13. What could be the payload on this Redstone? Look up in the sky its a bird, its a plane? No its a....tree? These things are always a fire hazard. Don't ask how it survived. Technical notes: I found a XMAS mod was released on Spacedock and when I saw the tree I wanted to send it into space and I found out its roughly the size of a Mercury Capsule so the BDB Mercury heatshield and Redstone rocket fits perfectly as for the tree topper we could not use a Star or Angel so a leftover Gemini chute had to be used as the topper lol.
  14. The Koviets surprised us by testing their Mun rocket on Minmus and then landing on it before us. So to one up them we decided to also land on Minmus but bring in a new LRV. Mission: Apollo 7 Payload: CSM named Jesper, LM named Klaus, Apollo Minmus Surface Experiment Package and LRV Crew: Fredtrey Kerman Commander and LM Pilot, Erly Kerman Scientist, Jebediah Kerman CSM Pilot. (Not sure why the LEM's IVA is buggy like that.) Erly unloading the LRV, unfortunately I forgot that you need a engineer to add the parts to the LRV and Erly is a Scientist. We also payed Softee 1 a visit and took back its camera to be donated to the National Museum.
  15. I decided to send a Juno guidance unit to flyby Sarnus and (Accidentally) Eeloo. Also welcome the Titan IV-Delta. The pictures of the Sarnus and Eeloo flybys. Am I insane for doing things a Juno guidance unit was not meant to do.
  16. After the first Mun landing the first thing I grabbed with science was ALSEP and thankfully it did not lag where we landed. Apollo 5 landed on the Polar lowlands of the Mun and unfortunately due to blaring Rock Me Amadeus which caused the crew not being able to hear Mission Control the last mission, the Kerbal States chose the name of the ships to be more patriotic and play patriotic tunes.....The ratings went way down because of it. As for why Jeb is wearing a Koviet suit....Based on information from "Weather" Satellites and other sources the Koviet's Mun rocket has been blowing up so to taunt make them feel better Jeb put on a Koviet suit we "Borrowed" from that capsule that landed in our land. In all honesty I just wanted to post ALSEP pictures here lol.
  17. I wasn't gonna show pics from this Minmus rover mission here due to lack of BDB parts but since it turns out we landed 1km from Softee 1 I decided to pay the old girl a visit. Almost 10 years gone by and Softee 1's camera still works lol.
