Booster catch attempt this year... I really really hope (and I hope they hope) they get it right the first time, otherwise mayhem's gonna ensue when Superheavy smacks into the chopsticks too fast, and the launch stand, and the deluge system... Fingers crossed.

A turbine in the engine exhaust seems absolutely wacky! How is it gonna be cooled when it's constantly blasted by rocket exhaust for minutes at a time?

Can you post it? Or at least link to the Discord message that has the patch?

I would unironically use this for that real Apollo-era feel

In CKAN, a recommendation is not requirement; it's an entirely optional addition.

Because the tree was designed around it. This is a hard requirement; otherwise most of the nodes would be either empty or only have 1 or 2 stock parts in them.

Oof, that's reentry plasma directly to the engines. This will affect the Raptor performance, I think. /joke

You can always copy the filled tank.

This I want. This also. Why not edit the Wikipedia page yourself (with sourcing)?

New manned Mars landing architecture just dropped, I wonder if it's possible to recreate with mods?

This is the last time I did a Lunar Gemini. I modified the lander a bit to add surface experiments.

There's always taking a Titan, tacking on a Centaur, and slapping on larger SRBs The mission profile I run is this: Launch the lander to the moon of your choice, with an Agena transfer stage. Park it in orbit around the moon. Launch the lunar transfer module, which is a Centaur D with a GATV passive docking port on top of the avionics unit. Launch a Gemini capsule. rendezvous, and dock with the Centaur. Transfer to the moon. Once in lunar orbit, rendezvous with the lander. Undock Gemini from the Centaur, dock to the lander, transfer crew. Then dock the Gemini back to the Centaur. (optional) Detach the Agena and begin deorbit. Land on the moon. Return to orbit. Gemini-Centaur rendezvous with the lander can, dock to it, transfer, dock back to the Centaur. Dispose of the lander, leave lunar orbit back to Kerbin. Reenter, and enjoy. The first time I did it I had a Titan LDC launch an Agena-Centaur to orbit, but I found that was massively overkill and you could use just the Centaur instead.

The fun part is actually needing to do Lunar Gemini if you wanna land on the Mun Thankfully Lunar Gemini has enough dV to do either Mun and Minmus Follow history and spam science probes into every corner of the system as launch windows come up. Considering you've got Mariner at this point, you should be somewhere around Gemini and its lander (tier 7). Use that, slap a bunch of science parts, bring some deployable surface experiments if you've got the DLC, and go to town.

I'll mark this as SOLVED for now, setting LEGACY_ORBIT_TARGETING to True in settings.cfg hasn't lead to crashes.

I'm getting direct-to-desktop KSP crashes when using a maneuver node to transfer to Jool. I note that KSP.log has a lot of MechJeb spam at the bottom, so I thought to repost here. KSP.log and mod list in this thread:
