  1. It sounds like an asymmetric thrust problem due to one engine starving for air before the other. In what order were the intakes and engines placed?
  2. If we have that level of technology, we could just recreate the species there from the DNA sequences and local resources. No need to actually transport organisms. Also, 8 million seems too low, and in any case, why would we need to transport all the Earth species?
  3. I have made it back to Kerbin from Eve. The reentry was very fun . . . I should post this in the Eve SSTO thread. By my calculations, my score is 46-40=6
  4. I've gone to Jool and landed on Eve now (who cares about transfer windows, we have infinite delta v ), and I should be able to get back to Kerbin.
  5. The Kraken drive is between the SAS units, using micro landing legs. Update: I've managed to trim the part count down to 46.
  6. I've landed on Eve fine. However, the ship explodes when I try to take off (pics will come soon). I think the infiniglide is too strong. I'm going to try Jool next.
  7. I've solved all the problems! I have achieved orbit and am working on going to Jool and Eve. Mass of ship is 1.87 tons. Part count is 60 (of which 48 are control surfaces).
  8. I'm working on this. I've managed to build a pretty lightweight yet powerful Kraken drive, currently under 2 tons with the crew capsule. I just need to make the infinigider part. Update: There are structural issues, to put it mildly.
  9. Yes, but then it would be obvious that it was sabotaged.
  10. And overpowered Russian bombers. But rammers are much worse.
  11. Your guess is correct! Also, a Mun-Minmus gravity assist would be nearly impossible because of the inclination change. Getting the Ap out to Minmus is trivial compared to getting the right inclination.
  12. Best Pe so far: 3,617,654 Bill was returned to Kerbin, so my score is 5426481
  13. The launch window for the Mun assist is only about 30 seconds long. My best periapsis so far was 2,104,367, but I'm sure I can do better.
  14. Man, I'm really surprised nobody has thought of my great idea: a Mun gravity assist! My mission is almost done; I'm just trying to time it perfectly to get the highest possible periapsis without escaping. Pictures will follow soon.
  15. No, Mechjeb's cosine losses are when engines are angled off to the side (so they end up fighting each other somewhat).
  16. There are now 10 tanks on the moon (and I'm tired of launching them). Total money left: $1755.7 M (in case my team wants to do anything else). Green Team's score is now 10,000 points (200 points per FOB, 5x Moon multiplier). Also, 9 out of the 10 landing stages survived with varying amounts of extra fuel (but no docking port, if we want to salvage it we'll have to use the claw). The other one ran out of fuel and had to lithobrake, but the tank survived.

  17. I had a run in with the NaN kraken while landing and will try again tomorrow.
  18. OK, I've started! I'm sending a tank to land on the moon for less than 25 million credits. I could do this 39 more times and still only spend half of our team's money!
  19. My uncle does research on xenotransplantation (using modified pig/other animal organs). It's pretty interesting stuff.
  20. I will be able to start in 5 hours. I will make a save file, as I don't see one already.
