Rescue mission!! Those are always fun.

Last night I saw a contract to test an ion engine during an orbit of the mun.... 500 - 2600 meters... :/ Guess I'll have to find a very wide flat area... That's a dangerous orbit. It pays 135 science, 96 rep and 40k funds though.

Today I accidentally deleted my career save.... I decided after I started another to put life support mods on hold for now while I get used to interplanetary missions first, and will try out robotics again for some ideas I came up with last night. Be careful where you click. Lol

I use SCANSat a bit and found an anomaly on Minmus so I sent Jeb up to check it out. I landed about 300m away from the thing on the dark side, but I did remember to put lights on my lander this time. Some scientists back home are arguing about whether this means there is other life out there or if ancient Kerbals may have had a space program........ (Spoiler?) Minmus Monolith

So today I landed a kerbal on the Mün next to an arch. Then realized I didn't have enough fuel to get back home so I sent up a hasty unmanned probe to refuel the lander... I did forget to put lights on the probe... And the landing site was on the dark side of the Mün. Yes, pucker factor was high. the picture. Edit: okay not a very good picture but you get the idea.

The few pictures I do have aren't up to par on the epic quality of stuff I've seen in the thread so far but here is a shot of my unfinished space station with a couple SSTOs docked.

Thanks! I've enjoyed lurking and learned quite a bit already. I do enjoy the stories people come up with too.

I was wondering the same thing myself. Usually the capcha catches the spambots but I haven't ran a forum in a while so maybe the authors are getting more clever.

Hello everyone, I've been playing Kerbal since the 28th of December after looking for a game to replace my free time with fun. Previously my free time was occupied by WoW, but that's just not fun anymore. I think I've got a pretty decent grasp on the basics and have started using some mods to enhance immersion into the game. Kethane, KAS, Kerbal Alarm Clock, ScanSat, one of the life support ones and another that modifies science a bit. I do have a few others I'm trying out on a sandbox game though... can't quite get the hang of Infernal Robotics. I do use mechjeb as an informational mod and have yet to even see autopilot in career mode. Some things I've been doing lately in game is running science missions on Mün and Minmus and getting a space station in orbit. I messed up a bit and put it at 90 km, but it shouldn't be much of an issue to attach an engine and boost the orbit to 200 or so. Earlier today I modified the tutorial build of Apollo 11. Just shaved some weight I think and asparagus'd the higher stages from about 8km to 40km. It coasts to 75 from there and even after the circularization burn I still have half the final booster tank left that needs to be jettisoned for the docking procedure. I'll upload some quick pictures to imgur and share the album for those interested. I'll try to keep my imgur updated with fun stuff I'm doing in game. Here is the link to the album if you're interested. Fly safe.
