I'll be sending 5 jeb, bill, Bob, and 2 "red shirts". Lander carries 2. Based on Von Kerman's... Er I mean Von Braun's 1968 IMIS proposal

I'd like to see that... :-)

This... Apollo 11 Launch Countdown:

I think all the chatterer fx ought to be stock. The Eva breathing and the comms chatter add so much to the game. And the occasional sstv burst makes some fun pictures too.

So where is the file that the names are picked from?

KSP was mentioned in the JPL panel during the Star Trek convention in Las Vegas today. A member of the audience mentioned it, referencing NASAs asteroid redirect content while asking if more were planned for NASA and ksp or other video games in the interest of involving youth in the space program. While they had no direct answer for the question, indicating only that they would be in favor of any such collaboration that would engage students in the fields that lead to careers which might be connected to space exploration, at least one of the four member panel spoke as though he knew of, and perhaps even played KSP. He also mentioned an Xbox game, which had players landing on mars, bragging "and I landed it the first time". The panel included JPLs " Mohawk Guy" still sporting the signature hair which made him an internet star.

I totally agree, I also think that scrolling lists in the tech tree screen needs to respond like a normal scroll bar ( it does elsewhere, like lists ) to the scroll wheel and clicking on the bar. So, all this. And sirrobert? Love the Sig!

And now for something completely different.... Are those ROADS in the first screen shot?

Df? ......

Off the top of my head you're too close to stall speed. And when landing its pitch to control attitude, throttle to control decent rate. Its counter intuitive, but that's how it works.

This ought to be a bit more "up front" I think. If it's in a readme I missed it, I only found it after hunting for why I couldn't change the sizes and only had ENORMOUS hinges...

This may seem like an oddball question, but is there any record of who made the various antenna models? I've segregated them from the mod so I can add them as cosmetic additions to my vessels. I can of course keep that to myself and it won't really matter, but if it's permitted, I thought that packing them up just to be used for eye candy might be of interest to others as well...

Thanks Woppert!

Yes, press "h"

That and you don't get the mini fuel gauge on the staging bar, tab, totem, whateveryoucallit...

Edit how? Or as Starwaster seems to suggest, do I have to read 184 pages to try and find it? EDIT: Well I found rc.stack in the save file (so glad we can have our own named saves now) but I'm a little lost on what needs to be altered. Fwiw there is a rc.stack part that is part of the vessel, I mention this just in case the intention was to manually put the chute back after it had been lost. It appears to me it isn't lost, at least not YET in the save file I am looking at.... EDIT2: Reload with v1.2.2.2 installed. No joy. Here's the "part" section of my save file...

Zomg o_o . . . . . . .

V1.2.1 I think. Curious problem tonight. Typical Apollo style mission, landed and returned to orbit. Switched to csm which has a stack parachute below its doing port. As soon as the craft loads, it appears that the parachute freezes in place and the rest of the csm flies on in orbit. The camera view then acts like its on an elastic being stretched between the frozen parachute and the moving csm. The parachute disappears from the staging too. Does this sound familiar? Or have I found something new? I'm posting this tonight, but don't have time to update to 1.2.2.2 tonight.... I'm just wondering if the update will fix this or if the mission is hosed....

I dunno, on kerbin 626 ( taking a cue from Sliders ) kerbin is a united planet with no nations, genders, or money....

Took a little to figure out how to cobble it together... although as I write this I'm having a DOH! moment of wondering if one of the craft files did it already... LOL... Anywho... I'd love to see a lander that can fit in the "petal" adapter tho. I can't seem to come up with one that doesn't overlap the SPS engine... Speaking of... the SPS engine is monopropellant powered now??? Is that how it was IRL? I thought it was hypergolic... although that's not a KSP fuel option.

Erm.... I just went to download the v1.0 package using the links on the 1st page/1st post, and it seems to have beta content. Is that intentional?

It seems to work ok, but the GUI is nekkid... none of the textures load (All I use is Docking Cam and Lazor Cam)

2 launches. One with the "Radish" capsule, then when this happened, the good old Mk1 pod. Booster is an RT-10, with a decoupler between it and the pod. I launch, tip over to 45 degrees headed due east with SAS on, turn off SAS and decouple booster at burn out. Both times, the capsule flipped over and flew heat shield first, as it should. After apogee, it slowly turned over and continued to fall heat shield first. When the "Real Chute Cone Chute" is triggered, the capsule flips and starts falling nose first with the teathers going back through the capsule. When the deployment altitude is reached, the chutes unfurl and the capsule ACCELERATES to 1000m/s+ breaking the chute, the sound barrier, and the kerbals inside.... It's like the whole force vector is backaswards... Thoughts? Never mind... that's what I get for mucking with things when I don't know what they do....

My version, launched and completed yesterday, 20 July 2014. (Third image is an animated GIF, which doesn't seem to work in an imgur album...)
