SeaLaunch system is hard as hell. Maybe I can use it to launch the satellite?

Awesome.

1gig? Holy crap, how does that even run? My computer uses 1 gig when idling! KSP uses 3.8 gigs for me.

All nations except four, I think, were involved in the standoff.

Oh boy, we almost started a world war.

My friend and I want to know the altitude at which geostationary orbits lie in KSP. I want to make a comsat network using the comsat plugin, and I have no idea what he wants to do.

One multi-landing transit vehicle... okay. Manned?

One minmus base. Got it.

Wait, you mean live crew onboard? Or do you mean a small habitable area in case another crew docks with the satellite to fix some issue?

Satellite is in orbit around minmus at 25,000 meters, high inclination due to plane-change errors.

Yeah, I\'m back on. This server isn\'t the greatest of all time, but it\'s hanging on, and it works, and I\'m not going to complain.

RP go down for anyone else just now? My computer is derping out, but I want to see how badly, so this might have been just my computer proceeding to derp again...

Hello! Welcome! ANNOUNCEMENT: Rather than posting pictures flight by flight, every time we accomplish either five flights or go through a page on here, I will post the images of the flights that took place. I had an idea last night, and today, I decided to follow through with it. I will be making a space program. It\'ll work like this: People give me a task, say, putting a satellite into LKO (150,000 meters). I\'ll build a satellite designed to do whatever the idea proposes, and launch it. All debris and craft will be left as is, and no persistance modification will be done. If you want a specific craft in the program, PM me the file. In more detail: I will take suggestions from the community on what to put into space, and what it should be tasked with. Then, I will build craft to complete these missions, and will upload the persistance file on here. I will only be using some specific mods, which I will list. My goal is to attempt to be as realistic as possible, and each flight, depending on how many stages there are, will be given a random chance of failure via random.org. Rules: No suggesting new mods. I picked these mods for a reason. No spam of the same suggestion. No complaining. That\'s all the rules, really. Mods: Industrial Flames and Explosions NovaPunch Probodobodyne Kosmos BACE Carts Noyuz Current Objectives (in order): #1: Low-Minmus orbit science satellite (COMPLETE) #2: JOST Low Kerbol Orbit satellite (COMPLETE) #3: Extra-Solar Probe (COMPLETE) #4: SeaLaunch platform (CURRENT) #5: Minmus Base #6: Multi-landing transit vehicle (that drops rovers) #7: Launching a replacement minmus satellite after SSAM-1 accidentally left minmus orbit. Pictures are coming soon.

Most fuel efficient way to return is to wait until you are pointing the opposite of the Mun\'s orbit, and then fire the engines until you have escape velocity from the Mun. Then, wait until the apogee of the orbit around Kerbin, and fire retrograde then. Everything should go well. Also, for the getting the rover off the lander problem, I have my descent stage above the rover, so that I can go down a hill, decouple the lander, and brake hard to get it to fly off.

Call of Duty (except Black Ops) and Roblox are tied in my book.

Well, I\'m leaving to go to the grocery store, hopefully the attack will have let up by the time I\'m back.

When life gives you melons When life gives you lemons, you know you did something wrong.

Thing is, I don\'t know what the heck I\'m supposed to mention. All I know is I gotta write an article about a band named 'The Dolphins'. That\'s all I know about it, I didn\'t memorize the facts that were provided on the forum. It\'s more like getting ready to run a sprint rather than studying before a test.

Jake Olinare (I) needs to get his story for the Kerbune about the Dolphins ready.

His newspaper.

May I also suggest nose cones for the parallel first stages?

Not role-playing here, but looking at the Eceron rocket, you\'ve got quite the un-aerodynamic rocket with quite a lot of wasted stuff. The upper stage wasn\'t even used.

My article: KSP Forums and/or Roleplaying Name: Jake Olinare Organization in KSP: SpaceK Labs, Incorporated Your KSP imaginary Biography: Jake Olinare is a press relations executive at SpaceK, after working as a reporter for a newspaper from Avienne. Type of Article (E.I. Opinion, analysis, interview, Fake Book Review of a Fake Book in KSP, ect.): Highlights from the NARS2012 convention. Approximate Length (max. 2000 words, 500-700 words is awesome): Exactly 483. Summarize Your Article Idea in less then 5 sentences: Article is about the new developments in fighter technology, including some of the newest interceptor designs from SpaceK, and looking back into history and forward into space. Article: Greetings from the National Aircraft and Rocketry Show! It\'s been a really amazing convention, and a lot of competing companies have shown up! Groups like SpaceK Inc. and Svartfalk Heavy Industries have unveiled their newest designs. The one that intrigues me most is SpaceK\'s new interceptor, the Eagle. It is a medium range light interceptor, and boy does it go! They took it up in the air to show everyone yesterday, and they even got permission to go supersonic! I\'m glad they did, because at only 2,000 meters, the aircraft was at Mach 1! They took it up the cruising altitude and flew over again at top speed, reaching Mach 2.8! Boy, it was great! Extremely maneuverable, and pretty too. I wondered to myself after looking at it, how did we get here? Well, after some research, you see that aircraft really took off (no pun intended) about 60 years ago. The world war made everyone look for a tactical advantage, and most militaries found it in the air. They developed ground attack aircraft, and then fighters to counter the enemies ground attack planes. Eventually, we started going faster and faster, to out-run and out-turn the enemy. Well, propellers reached their limits, and a new variety of engine was developed. It was modeled after the new liquid-fueled rocket engines, but with less power and less fuel consumption. Well, we managed to reduce the fuel consumption for 40 years, all the while increasing the power. Now, we are going faster than sound! Planes have found uses far beyond the military, reaching 400 miles per hour in the air for passenger transport faster than before, and even as taxis. Speaking of which, you all should\'ve seen the Supersonic Passenger Prototype (or SPP) that Keyante Aerospace unveiled. Mach 1.4 while carrying upwards of 160 passengers! It seems as if the world is becoming flat! You can get around the globe in fifteen hours now, while landing for fuel only three times. Used to be that it took thirty hours of flight, two nights in airport hotels, and over ten stops. We\'re running out of places to go with planes! The only place we have left to go with planes is space, and that\'s not too far away, with Kergin Galactic soon flying 20 passengers at a time into space for upwards of 10 minutes, and then reentering and landing like a glider, that just happens to also be carrying a rocket motor. Spaceplanes like these aren\'t new, with the K-15 'winged missile' that flew twenty years ago. Launched from a bomber, flew up into space on a sub-orbital trajectory, and glided back in. Some may say Kergin Galactic is copying, but sometimes you need more than one. Private space is getting closer, thanks to planes and their history. I can\'t wait for NARS2013! What will we have then? Private VTOL craft? Private space planes? Who knows?

My colony will be nearly done by the time this cycles around.

Doctor Who, duh.
