Hunting the 10,000 Pm SSTV signal

After that, the ions have been activated -- and they goble EC like crazy. Even the 8 RTGs on the ship can't sustain them. So I had to cut their throttle down :(

The ion stage is deployed!

Probe about halfways between Mun and Minmus, and I've just decoded some SSTV from Wikipedia with qsstv. I'm ready now.

Kerbol Periapsis is now below Moho's orbit

Apoapsis: 400,000,000 km

Current speed: about 30 km/s (at Kerbol Periapsis)

AP just tripled in a few seconds

AP is now at... Well, there's no more AP. It disappeared.

I guess I'm on an escape trajectory then...

About 2/3 of the fuel has been consumed.

Another mission failed due to lack of RW

Wow that navball sure is shaky..

But this time more RW solved the "drifting problem" as I call it (which is due to the OP thrust I gave to the engine)

About 0.6c now

I'm FTL now :D

But that's not fast enough :/

Damn, keep pointing prograde! The thing moves around the navball and it's  pain to keep it pointed roughly prograde.

BTW I'm now at 3c.

1,000 c

Still not fast eough :D

Recording on -- check...

132 Gm to go... That's KSP's precision that far away. 132 Gm.
Well, I guess this is "precise"...

10,000 Pm will be reached in about 44,000 seconds... I doubt I can tie-warp :(

1,500 c


Can I phys-warp?

Yes

Estimated time before arrival: 7,500 seconds or two hours and a bit IRL, at x4 phys-warp..


Oh... It's ot shaking, it's randomly changing orientation.


Oh, actually I mistaken meters per second for kilometers per second -- so I'm at 1.5 c, not at 1,500 c.

Forgot to take in account the 100 Gm sorry :(

Acceleration to reduce travel time: speed is now 15,072,747 m/s. Objective is likely to be reached in about 1,700 seconds IRL atx4 phys-warp.

Only 100 Gm to go! I checked this time and I'm almost sure I didn't misread anything.

38.5 more Gm to go

I'm recording all of this, it's going to be a long video :D

According to quicksave.sfs, my eccentricity is around 90350735875248.2.

And the MNA is like 2e+15

This is Science

23 more Gm


I think I'll burn retrograde to catch the exact 10,000 Pm
