I don't think they have to be short and stubby. If they sway a littlebit to the outside, who cares? I think today after work I might try that out with a few Skipper engines.

The last time I did this (probably around 0.25) I could pump fuel through the asteroid. I don't know if it still works in 1.0.

Or you don't pull or push the asteroid, but instead you BECOME the asteroid. No seriously: Add a probe, some rcs and of course the claw to EVERY booster. Seperate every booster form your main craft and attach them with the claw to the asteroid. I did that once and it worked surpringly well. Just try to get the boosters mostly parallel to each other or you will start spinning.

Does the problem still exist? A few screenshots of your action groups would be very helpful. You're very new to this forum so I'm just assuming you're very new to the game. So maybe this tutorial helps:

Yeah that's right. But if you don't have an english keyboard it's different. Maybe you're using a german keyboard layout like me. Then the keys for switching vessels in the physics range are ß and ´

I can't find "Real Engines", but "Reaching for the Stars" works fine for me. Thank you very much.

I don't get it. I can't find any Engine Pack where the engines don't take just Liquid Fuel and Oxidizer. Does somebody have a list of Engine Packs that support Real Fuels?

The movie interstellar has also many mistakes. (WARNING! THE FOLLOWING MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS) A few examples: - When they want to fly from an earth orbit to Saturn they face the spaceship away from earth and then activate the engines. That's really unefficient. - They first fly to Mars for doing a swing-by manouver. Then they arrive at Saturn after only 2 years (you wouldn't even get to Saturn after only 2 years if you would do a direct Homann-transfer to it.) - When they arrive at Saturn they are in a stable orbit. Why don't they need to slow down? - Gravitation isn't infinite fast. It's travelling at the speed of light. - The ship is too small. It should have biiiiiiiiig fuel tanks attached to it. - A planet with gravitation 130% relative to earth doesn't bend spacetime enough so that 1 hour on it's surface equals 27 years in orbit. More like 1 hour equals 1 hour and 0,001 milliseconds. But at least you couldn't hear anything in space.

Are you talking about the latest Episode of Doctor Who (Season 8 Episode 7 "Kill the Moon")? There are so many things wrong with that. The Space Shuttle lands like there would be an Atmosphere on the Moon. Even on the inside while landing they are standing there and feel the gravitation. BUT THEY ARE FALLING! Despite the fact that the STS couldn't send any Space Shuttle into lunar orbit not to mention landing it.

Thank you that was exactly what i needed! Sorry. I did really use the search-function of this forum, but i guess i used it wrong. But thank you all for your really friendly help!

I hope this thread is in the right place here. Currently I have a contract in the career mode which says "Rescue Edski Kerman from Kerbin". Edski Kerman is orbiting Kerbin at about 100,000m with only his spacesuit on. I flew to him with my spacesuit and I flew to him directly with my vessel but everytime it seems like he doesn't even want to get rescued. There was no "grab"-action or something like that. Has anybody ever completed this mission. If yes: how?
