  1. Hey, thank you for the kind reply! The Shuttle was designed by Andrew Hawkins aka kingsknight, there is a link to the instructions ins this reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/lego/comments/8s51ln/lego_ideas_space_shuttle_free_instructions/ The Crawler and MLP (Mobile Launch Platform) were created by Grant Passmore aka eiffleman - instructions available on Lego ideas in the Updates: https://ideas.lego.com/projects/0f8efc2a-ce0a-4285-9f2b-036bf3eb9f38 There is a group on FB that collects and exchanges instructions for 1:110 Lego Space models, we have a couple of Kerbalists amongst us already: https://www.facebook.com/groups/legospacebuilds/ Regards!
  2. Arghs! You are right, Sir, please accept my appologies. And thank you!
  3. Here's what you see: (from left to right): Mercury Redstone (Sam Shepards first US space flight) Juno II Thor Delta (Grandfather of todays huge Delta V rockets!) Atlas Mercury (first US orbit!) Atlas Delta. After that, the small white rocket in front is a Juno I, also based on Redstone, used for the first US satellite... behind it is the Titan II which launched all Gemini flights - first US spacewalk. Vostok (in white and dark grey - Yuri Gagarin!) and, behind that, Soyuz, the most successful spaceship so far, flown since 1964 and still serving the ISS, easy recognizable distinct orange paint. Saturn V (Moon landing) and Saturn I (testing Apollo CSVs) and in front of them is Little Joe II, also with an Apollo CSM at the top. Titan III MOL - intended for the Manned Orbital Laboratory, of which only a dummy was launched on Launch Pad 34. US Space Shuttle carried by the NASA Crawler. More about each rocket and instructions for them at ametria.org/lego
  4. Hi, Windows 7 ultimate 64x here. Thinkpad T420s, fully updated drivers etc. Deleted 23.5 install. Downloaded x64 version of .24 Loaded - crashed. Loaded - created new game - crashed. Started again, opened the saved newly created game - crashed. So i guess x64 is not for me
  5. Just for the title alone. Also, for the bass solo in the middle. Then for the lyrics and the homesickness.
  6. So then, can aonyone help us out with this and tell us where those loading hints can be found?. I'm afraid m programming skills do not go far enough, and I am too lazy to grep my way through all the code.
  7. That so reminds me of this: Whackjob, you make KSP awesome.
  8. Hey, anyone know where those loading hints are stored? It would be fun to come up with more of them, instead of looking at the same ones all over again. "Tightening Kan Allen-belt" "Dropping Solar Flares" "Polishing Heat Shields" "Ductaping Struts" "Storing Hitchhikers" "Decontaminating Kethane" "Specifying Impulse" "booking gravitational assistance" (If some of these or all are not witty at all, I hope I will be forgiven, since I am not a native speaker) Regards
  9. Just as a short interjection: Why would anyone having expended a huge amount of efforts, money, and ressources to climb out of the gravity well want to go back there again so soon? Is that our monkey genetics? "MUST.... HUG...EARTH". From a purely economical point of view, it would be much easier to grab a couple of asteroids (mostly h2o, co2 and iron, so 95% of the stuff we need), and process those into whatever materials we require. The biggest difficulty will always be - until the advent of cheap abundant fusion and/or other means - the energy required to sustain our fragile Kerbals. Shipping stuff up and down planets, or even terraforming them, will take so much more energy than even building "ringworlds" or Halo installations. But of course that does not answers OPs question, so I´ll shut up now. Regards
  10. My son loves to watch me build stuff in the VAB, and even more so he likes planes and tells me what to do, but he refuses to let me launch them: "No no, I just want to look at them". He will actually start to wail when I start a launch. I think he is afraid that they crash, and even me showing him how I can bring them back did nothing to soothe him. He´ll turn four soon, maybe I can try again then.
  11. Whackjob one bricked the UNIVERSE because of excessive part count. Luckily, he managed to reboot, so nobody took notice. But if we ever found out, he would have to kill us all and restart.
  12. Hi, just wanted to share a wel-written, comprehensive and informed introduction into spaceflight propulion. Admittedly rather Newbie material, but I consider it a worthwhile read and enjoyed it a lot, which is why I wanted to share: http://www.vectorsite.net/tarokt.html (Vectorsite by Greg Goebel) Full disclosure: I am not affiliated, aquainted, related or in any other form involved in the website named above)
  13. Problem solved: I downloaded the parts from mediafire, and they worked. The previously used pack from kerblspaceport did not contain subfolders (capsules, science, etc) and did NOT work. Thanks, and happy rocketeering!
  14. Hi, thanks for the quick reply and the help. However, no luck here. Parts are in C:\KSP_win\GameData\GabysQuickAndDirtyMiscellania for example C:\KSP_win\GameData\GabysQuickAndDirtyMiscellania\parts\GQDM_7x3m_split however, they do not show up, a fatte they share with Weylands space station ring trusses. Can you let me know what needs to be done to the cfg-files, or where I can find information on how to "wrap" them? regards! P.S.: I was trying to build a Standfor Torus, but with the regular "plates" an eights of the Torus (which is launchable at ~150 tons) has app. 600 parts - a bit too much to assemble 8 of those in orbit
  15. Hi, the mod doesnt seem to work in 0.21.1 anymore :-( Can anyone tell me what I need to do to get the parts running in the newes version? Best regards
