Ditto to TankBuddy I bought it to scratch a physics itch, the wobbly rockets and terrified Kerbals added an element of humor to what could have been a pretty dry simulator. What's life without whimsy

Accidental, nothing accidental about it, Tylo does it deliberately, or seams to every time I go there. That moon is a bad one.

Bravo, Author, Author! Standing ovation

Good point, the crew transport could head up there now, and do a refuel run at the same time. Still not sure how to get Jeb out though.

Jeb is locked in a Cuppola attached to a science lab/fuel station in orbit around the Mun. I put the science lab with a Cuppola as the control unit piloted by Jeb. Unfortunately I was not careful where I placed the illuminators and one is right over the exit hatch for the Cuppola. Jeb cant get out to collect the experiments from the Munar Science Lander and Bill (in the lander) cant get in to drop off the data, and as the science lab/cupola was never designed for return and reentry to Kerbin, he is in for a long wait until I can figure it out. Bill tried ramming the offending illuminator with the nose of the lander to try and knock it off. That didn't work. The plan was to land the science lander, gather science, take back to the station and move the reports to the cupola via EVA. The two no name kerbs in the science lab would clean and scrub the goo and science jr, then refuel the lander from the station and send it back to the Mun for more, rinse, lather repeat. Then we would move the science lab station back to Kerbin, send up a crew ship to bring all the Kerbs, and data, back home. Then with the lander (which has a remote control thing) attached to the station, deorbit the station. (plan B is to send the station onto Duna, but it does not have enough deltaV, so would need a tug to get it going, still may happen if Jeb is to stay locked in there forever) I guess I can mod him out with the crew manifest mod, but I am open to suggestions !

I was thinking just the sound and have the lyrics scrolling along the bottom with no singing, so people can do their own. I suspect getting anyone who can sing is going to be tough. If I get some time I will work through and put timing marks on the lyrics based on that youtube video, that would also help with video scene transition timing markers. My wife is going to think I am nuts listening to the real and music only versions over and over again. Then again, she already thinks I am kinda nuts for launching little green aliens into space.

Just here to say this is awesome, waiting for the next installments. Apologies for interrupting the story flow.

This guy, majorfubar69, has the instrumental only at this youtube link, apparently sound downloadable via firefox according to the comments. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9-U2gV-Fek If you can get the sound from that and then do the lyrics Kerbaloke style (sorry) along the bottom? Not sure what the copyright would be , if they haven't issued a takedown for the youtube linked it may be OK, and I think you can get away with a lot based on fair use/ parody, then again I am no copyright lawyer. Oh the Muppets parody on the related videos link at the youtube is well worth a look.

Thanks Tw1. I made the suggested changes, the "Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me" line was certainly missing a good few syllables. The line with point 23 ( supposed to replace "baby" from the original) needs something and "If I'm not back again this time tomorrow" could do with some kerbalising, maybe an aerobraking or lithobraking reference? It would be nice to get the phrase "unexpected energetic disassembly" in there somehow. Cheers.

Thanks everyone. Any suggestions please take it and run with it or let me know and I think I can edit and obviously will credit. Cheers!

I posted this over in the KSP facebook thread and some people enjoyed it so thought I would post it over here ( I edited a few bits ) EDIT NOTE, edited to incorporate Tw1s excellent suggestions. It started when somebody started a Bohemian rhapsody comment and I got carried away. You just need to picture Bill , Bob and Jeb bouncing their heads around Waynes World style at the appropriate time. To the tune of, oh do I really have to say so? Is this the real life? Is this just K.S.P? Caught in an S.O.I (no escape from gravity) Open your eyes, look up to the skies and see I'm just a green Jeb , (poor Bob) I need no sympathy Because it's an easy launch, with fuel flow, apsis high, no asparagus woe Any way the staging goes, doesn't really matter to me, to me Werner, I just killed a Kerbal Put some boosters under Jeb, then pushed the stage and now he's dead Werner, career mode had just begun... But now I've gone and thrown it all away Werner, oooooooh Didn't mean to make you fry, if I'm not back again this time tomorrow, Transmit on, transmit on, as if the science really matters Too late, my maneuver node gone, sent shivers down my spine, not using alarm clock all the time Goodbye everybody, I've got to go. Gotta leave Jool behind and face the truth. Werner, ooooooh. (Way the staging goes) I don't wanna Jeb to die, I sometimes wish I'd never downloaded at all. I see a little silhouetto of a Mun, Jebediah , Jebadiah will you do the booster go go? SRBs and strutting, very very frightening , me BoosterMoar, (DeltaV), BoosterMoar, (VAB), BoosterMoar, KSC S.S.T.O-o-o-o-o-o I'm just a poor Bob, nobody loves me He's just a poor Bob from a poor Kerbaily Spare him his life from this Whackjobity Throttle high, fuel low, Eve let me go? Apoapsis, no! Eve will not let you go. Let him go! Periapsis, no! Eve will not let you go. Let me go! Eve not let you go. Never never never let you go-o-o-o-o No no no no no no no! Oh MechaJeba, Mechajeba MechaJeba help me go The Forum now has a Challenge online for me, for me, for me So you think you can mod it and make aerodynamics fly? So you run out of DV and then hyperedit the orbit so high? Oh, point 2 3. Can't do this to me point 2 3? Just gotta get out, just gotta get an update out of here. Oooooh. Oh yeah Oh yeah Staging really matters. Any Kerb can see. Staging really matters...... staging really matters.... To me. (Anyway the updates go)
