Oh, the marriage of KSPi and B9 is beautiful. Especially when you just fool around.

Will be upgraded to an interplanetary nuclear missile carrier with a large cargo bay.

Fun. Yeah, they can be efficient aswell, but more importantly, fun.

Now this is a competition I am entering.

This.

101 meters

100m is where you hit the "surface" You can actually land... sort of. Your ship will be destroyed.

So if I were to strap a tiny ion propelled probe on a booster, launch it, fly it to Eve, land on Gilly, return and land with a parachute... would that fill the requirements?

It worked easily.

I kind of want to do it without parachutes. I have planned a massive glider to be sent there. Unpowered, unmanned. I am testing if it is possible as an unmanned mission.

I do not think you can get them to flame out at the same time. Use action groups and change the propellant before they flame out.

I've been trying to land my spaceplane on duna with NEAR enabled... Do you reckon it is possible? Been gliding for hours trying to figure out a way to get it on the ground. Restart the mission and bring airbrakes? More surface area to the wings? I have been trying to find a place where I can land uphill but even then the speed is just too much for the terrain... Are the poles flat?

Just wanted to drop by and say this is the most essential mod on my mods list. It really makes a space program a space program. Thank you. Also, when attaching two ships to eachother while in space with a pipe, you can make the funniest thing ever. Thanks to KAS I saved kerbin today. My mothership ran out of electricity in LKO, while carrying a dozen antimatter containment units. (A small collision took off my essential radiators.) I was luckily able to send a spaceplane to intercept, hook up a pipeline and recharge enough to land the behemoth. As I hooked the spaceship into the mothership I had less than a minute left to a catastrophy.

Didn't know there was a problem. I guess tinkering.

I went totally over the top with cheatsy interstellar stuff...

My absolutely best design so far. The idea is that the baby ship is a refueler used to refuel other ships without the need of docking two large ships.

Sent a refueler / mothership to eve. It is an SSTO and has 20 000 m/s d-v left in orbit. Casualgamer reporting in with his OP interstellar builds.

Here is my way of doing things: http://www.twitch.tv/othuyeg/c/5154892

Modded entry would not be too hard, I presume. You need to strap a thermal turbojet onto an antimatter reactor in interstellar mod and you might have a shot at it.

Scott Manley did it already.

If you ever find yourself in a situation where you want to do alot of small orbital manouvers, changing orbits etc. they can be used in even bigger ships. I had a savegame where I had multiple stations and wanted to take ships between them etc. just to roleplay my different operational hubs and found ions to be great.

Ever had a japanese flyboat/bomber (H6K) chase you? That was propably me.

Built my first VTOL. It ended up being an evil one. It has a turret and it is powered by antimatter. For a first attempt, it was not that bad. I was able to achieve stable hover above the target and pepper it with bullets.
