Demobot

That is fantastic, but I can't imagine it'd be a comfortable ride!

On this episode of Top Gear! Bob drives in circles! Bill screams at nothing! And Jebediah finds a rabbit!

I imagine a lot of conversations starting with "Hey Jeb, remember that time you..." followed by a lot of laughter.

Sent a rover to Duna. Skyrcrane wasn't equal to the task of 'not hitting the ground'.

If we're talking about the popularity of a game, it would be helpful to look at the Steam statistics. http://steamgraph.net/index.php?action=graph&jstime=1&appid=220200&from=1362114000000&to=End+Time

It's my understanding that Kerbin has substantially less mass than Earth. If the KSP Wiki is accurate, Kerbin has a mass of ~5.3*10^22 kg, whereas Earth has a mass of ~6*10^24 kg. This would mean Kerbin's mass is less than 1% of Earth's.

I finally, finally, FINALLY built a functional, full-fledged SSTO! It isn't pretty, but it works.

Absolutely the best advice. Especially helpful if you end up with unbalanced RCS placement, which usually happens to me.

I visited the Armstrong Memorial. I didn't know I was visiting it at first; I only knew there was an anomaly there. I lost a wheel in the process, but I'm planning on landing a base there so there'll be an astronaut along to fix it eventually. I also put a new rover on Duna, but I got a bit overzealous with the throttle and the probe core was destroyed. In all other respects the rover was fine.

That is a very cool design. Well done!

Woo, science modules! Now when one of my probes crashes I can scream "THE HULL IS BREACHED AND THE SCIENCE IS LEAKING OUT!!!"

I put a rover on Duna! Ambassador I, taking science to exciting new places! Drogue chutes and parachutes were far more effective than I thought; they were enough to slow my descent to around 7 m/s. I still got to use the skycrane's rockets a bit, but I was hoping for a more dramatic landing maneuver. In true KSP fashion, within minutes of this shot being taken, the rover lost 5 of its wheels in a catastrophic collision with a level surface that it was traveling parallel to. Ambassador II is being developed, with a wider wheel-base, larger wheels and fewer explosions.

Got delta-v? Unless that's two words.

I put Bill on Minmus! He's quite thrilled.

Most proud moment? Probably achieving my first orbital docking maneuver. It was tempered somewhat by the fact that moments prior I smashed through one of the station core's solar panels, but still, very proud.

I snapped this one during my latest Mun landing.

Today I hit a major milestone, for me at least: I completed a 3-Kerbal mission to the Mun and back. Let me tell you, RCS comes in handy when landing on those inclines. The lander very nearly toppled over.

I put the core of a refueling station in LKO. I also put a new solar panel array on my manned station, Starcastle. And I designed and launched a new satellite.

When I stare at this thing, I'm pretty sure I can feel individual brain cells exploding.

Presenting: Starcastle! You can believe that it's named for the progressive rock band if you really want to. It's currently under construction, all stock parts, assembled over the course of at least 10 launches (I removed some of the older modules to make way for future expansions). Building a station was something I wanted to do from the moment I learned it was possible, but achieving an orbital rendezvous seemed like an impossible task. After a lot of trial, error, (my first core module didn't even have docking ports ) and one VERY helpful Scott Manley tutorial, I finally got construction underway. It's currently home to 22 Kerbals. The tug docked at the bottom was de-orbited recently after transferring all of it's monopropellant to the station. The docking truss and solar arrays all have their own RGUs, RCS thrusters and monopropellant supplies, so they can be individually undocked and de-orbited if I get tired of looking at them. Eventually it'll serve as an orbital refueling station. I plan on adding at least one more big orange tank, but those large payload deliveries are always a bit of a headache. Eagle-eyed viewers may notice a retracted Gigantor XL on the port side of the cuppola module: there was originally another Gigantor XL on the starboard side, but during my first docking attempt I came in too fast and blew right through it. Here's the aftermath. Bill Kerman celebrated the space program's first orbital rendezvous with a double dose of sedatives.
