I built a steerable antenna array on the Mun Farside, possibly to do some radio astronomy. It was a lot harder than I expected!

For ages I was working on building a tall, portable, folding tower to install on The Mun, with spectacular lack of success. But this became an entertaining diversion:

I didn't think of using the arches. They would be more difficult to aim at. A moveable target can be placed precisely on the equator.

Thank you! :-)

Some extreme orbital low-flying on the Mun. Video: The two main parts: setting up the precision orbit and designing the "goalposts" were equally difficult. Great fun though!

I found it confusing when I first started playing the game. You're planning to do an EVA. You rotate the spacecraft so that the hatch is illuminated by the sun. You click the EVA button and the game puts you on the opposite side of the spacecraft from the Kerbal, hiding her, and leaving you facing into the Sun. What? Where's the Kerbal?

Ah, yes, that fits what happens. The opposite rule, facing the same way as the Kerbal, would seem to make more sense to me, obviating the 180° camera move I always have to make. But perhaps that's a minority opinion.

Hi, The game's choice of initial camera position when going EVA in space seems always to be on the opposite side of the spacecraft from the Kerbal. It would be interesting to know whether others find this happening, and what the possible reason may be. Is it intentional? Similarly, when launching from Kerbin the game's initial choice of camera position when switching to map mode is nearly always on the opposite side of Kerbin. I wonder what the algorithm is for making these camera positions.

Twin turboprop tiltwing VTOL which is well controllable up to about 200 m/s in horizontal flight. It probably won't help you much in career mode, but it's fun to develop and fly. The transitions between vertical and horizontal in both directions are controlled by robotics, but it possible to do it manually. The problem of the wing hinge opening in flight is fixed with a couple of rotating locks. Video here:

Really enjoyed seeing all these videos, and great to have them all in one post. Fascinating to see such problem-solving ingenuity! I particularly liked RealKerbal3x, GewoonLukas_, Aotezukay, Robossbomb, KSPotato, but all are interesting and inspiring. My own version of a Duna rover mission, done long after the event, and obviously without the time deadline, tries to remain both Kerbal and close to the real thing using stock parts only. It's a 12-minute video. I hope someone enjoys it.
