It still works fine, if you have node issues just use the prebuilt craft.

So...you're older/slightly younger than my dad....

I remember seeing this back in January and getting inspired...

Good choice MRS. (I should really get something noteworthy on the forums sooner or later.)

So, this is the origin of Minmus?

I'm referring to biological age. I'm wondering which of the active forum members is the oldest biologically.

We've had a couple of discussions about younger forum members, but does anyone know who is the oldest forum member here?

Who needs a court martial when Jeb can fire rockets at the admin building?

Ooh, mine can't be measured.

Yeah, considering they had about a few weeks to make a Mars probe (!) there probably wasn't enough space for a self destruct.

Break apart. The book mentions that the 300 kilos of sludge crashed to the back, causing the probe to break off from the aeroshell.

In the book, hm, let's see... The Iris probe goes kaput because of the protein cubes I believe. The harmless shimmy, caused by a minor fuel mixture imbalance, rattled the payload. Iris, mounted firmly within the aeroshell, held firm. The protein cubes inside Iris did not. At the microscopic level, the protein cubes were solid food particles suspended in thick vegetable oil. The food particles compressed to less than half their original size , but hte oil was barely affected. This changed the volume ration of solid-liquid dramaticly, this process transfomed the protein cubes from a steady solid to a flowing sludge. Stored in a compartment with no leftover space, the now-compressed sludge had room to slosh. It caused an imbalanced load, forcing the sludge towards tthe edge of the compartment.

Very nice! On the topic of animal themed crafts, on one of the KSP facebook groups pandoras kitten (Les Toreades) challenged me to send 20 pigs to Duna. This is what I came up with.

It's certainly possible with enough fuel, just make sure you end up somewhere close to the space center, then start maneuvering precisely. Frozen_Heart, also take a look at this http://imgur.com/a/cNG8P#9xU6rOO

I think one guy got a Kerbal X to Duna and back, so you probably don't need too much if you use gravity assists.

Wow I thought getting invited to the white house was just a one time thing. KSP really has grown from a simple game with only one objective to...well, this.

Strand them on Eve. Done.

Oh the irony

If you didn't mind infinite RCS just use lots of Vernors clipped into each other. Those things are v. powerful.

I think you accidentally deleted them or something. I can't see them either.
