I had Corlo Kerman strap himself to my interplanetary lifter on a rover seat. Then I propelled him just to the edge of Kerbin's SOI, and let him drop back down. It was not a shallow re-entry. P.S.: He did have a parachute, and it worked, and he was fine afterwards.

I captured my first asteroid! It's name is GS-343 (in honor of Guilty Spark 343) and it will host a scientific space station and observatory.

Nasa actually did an experiment with this. The wire was nearly 1 mile long. The current was so strong, a bolt of electricity jumped the line to the space shuttle and broke the connection. Then nasa watched the multi-million dollar satellite drift away (they wanted to reuse it).

Warning! Warning! An asteroid the scientific community has named D.E.A.T.H is hurtling towards kerbin at nearly 3 km a second. This asteroid is just about quadruple the size of Class E's! There is nothing KSP has to stop it. KSP and fellow Rocket Companies have been tasked with saving kerbin life from it's impending doom. You can't stop the asteroid, but here is what you can do: Options (highly recommended you try all) 1: Kerbal Life Boats or Probe Ships (to see if anyone survived the impact) 2: Colony/Generation Ship 3: Self-Sustaining Space Station + around Kerbin + around Mun or Minmus + around Moho or Dres + around Eve or Duna (more habitable) + in Joolian System or Eeloo 4: Mun or Minmus Base + on Moho or Dres + on Duna or Eve + on Joolian Moon or Eeloo KSP scientists say you have only two Kerbin Days (if you use Earth days that is twelve hours) before the asteroid enters the atmosphere. After it strikes YOU CANNOT go back to the KSP space center to build ships, research, or hire kerbals. You may only use the tracking station to find ships. Engineers suggest you send every part up into orbit FIRST. Then, after the asteroid strikes, dock ships and send them to desired locations. Mods are allowed if they are not over-powered. Popular mods such as MechJeb and Kethane may be used. Kerbals cannot wait to see what you came up with! (P.S. save as many as you can)

The strange shape near the single planet looks like a very crude drawing of the voyager probe (which did carry a gold disc with engraved symbols, a record, etc. for potential alien contact) but it did not send out SSTV signals.

I LOVE making unmanned probe stations. A massive unmanned probe carrier to jool? Done! A rover that is to scour the mun? Done!

Some people (including myself) find that Star Wars is fantasy and sci-fi. You've got wizards (the jedi) a light faction and a dark faction, swords, and there are even creatures in the series that are sentient space-faring dragons.
