I've been thinking about the idea of redirecting a comet ever since 1.10 was released. If a comet went over the KSC every half-hour and showered the whole place with star dust, how cool would that be? Reading this thread, I finally decided it was time to find out. I'm gonna try to put a comet into LKO. Preliminary groundwork: Immediately, a comet was sighted. A small, near-Kerbin comet with Ap near An. Perfect! Go sick 'em, Jeb! Here is the liftoff of the mighty rocket. 7 Mammoths underneath a massive bundle of boosters and a bloated fairing. Craft and comet. This megalith-mover has 7 Rhinos, 4 drills, 7 ISRUs, 6 gargantuan Thermal Control Systems, and a whole menagerie of fuel cells. Oh, and dozens of reaction wheels, because how else am I going to turn the thing? This craft can really move without a comet strapped to the front. The full TWR is about 3. The burn out to nearly Jool's orbit lasted less than a minute. Jeb and Bill drifted out into space for a couple years, and then it was time for the adjustment burn. Now for another couple years of drifting back down to the intersect! Oooh! We're getting close! That trail is absolutely huge. There it is! The great big hunk of ice! Successfully grabbed! Of course, there were some kraken problems, but spamming "Autostrut: Heaviest part" on everything did the trick! 90% ore, wow! If only I could find the place this comet came from, all my ISRU dreams would come true! Now to move this megalith... The comet is now at Ap and An, and it's time for an inclination change! The 7 Rhinos are at full blast, providing a whole 0.07 of a g! The burn was divided up into four-and-a-half burn/refuel segments. Here is the Cometron's burn almost finished up a just over a day later: 0.0° inclination! We have proof-of-concept! The big burn is next, over 1600 m/s. I calculate it to last over the course of four days. But I am not a kerbal, which means I do have to sleep! So, "to be continued!"

Got an contract doing one single surface sample, that is new, usually its multiple locations. Area was close to base so it should be very easy. Did sample and was told it was wrong and was sent to another area, then a new one three times I think. Luckily this was on Gilly so it was easy to move around, but had been less fun on many other bodies. Looks like an pretty rare contract type as I have never gotten it before.
