The only part of this that seems to be a challenge is hitting F1 in time to capture anything that goes wrong. This being Kerbal Space Program, Stuff Blowing Up is not an uncommon occurrance.

You used MechJeb, I didn\'t. This is not a problem - it just gives me a reason to be smug.

MISSION PROFILE - MINMUS LANDING Lower landing legs. Landed. Minmusbounce! Eat Minmus rock... ...and carry on. Staring gormlessly at a frozen methane lake. Now that\'s a face for radio, Sherrey. On Minmus, you can fly. See? Again with the Minmusrock eating. Returning to capsule. Lander stage has a mind of its own. Oh dear. Lowering periapsis for atmobraking. Maybe we should have given the return stage some lander legs.

Use Launch Assist Towers to raise it above the launch pad.

I couldn\'t even get the packs to do that.

The mission profile of the Angel III was the rescue of stranded Kerbals after Angel I\'s fuel ran out following its Munar return and attempt to circularise in LKO. In all, 3 Kerbals were brought from Angel I to ground. Renezvous Transport Vehicle in orbit. An EVA starts to ensure all systems are go. Return engine is fine. Rendezvous engine is fine. Fun in space. Checking ASAS. Checking parachute. Approaching Angel I Closing in. Almost there. Angel I initiating crew transfer. Making the crossing. Boarding crew transport module. Bob Kerman making the transfer. Nedson shuts down the ship\'s systems. 'Ok, Space Centre, I\'m approaching the Angel III n... *smack* GGGGGRRRSSSSHHHH' 'Nedson, respond. Nedson! Respond, damn it!' 'Life readings say he\'s unconscious!' 'Space Centre, this is Nedson. Sorry about frightening you. Hell of a hit I took.' Checking ASAS. One last look at Angel I Beginning deorbit burn. Sunrise. Dropping the rendezvous module. Atmospheric decelleration in progress. Rendezvous Module ahoy! Deploy parachutes! Everyone screaming. Space Centre must now replace their headsets for ones that haven\'t exploded. Initiating decelleration assistance burn. Nedson realises the gravity of the situation, but he\'s still suffering from adrenaline drain after that whack earlier. He cannot be bothered to scream. The capsule is safe! But what of the crew module? Safe. Traitorous ASAS! Serve you right for failing on us! Command pod evacuation complete. What? You need proof? The seatbelts are stuck. Bust assistance is on the way.

You know how Roblox has the White Zone? I myself built a rocket to get there. It was fun to ride. Well, I guess Nullspace is as good a name as any. Nullspace and the White Zone are very similar. Both cause screen black/whiteouts, both cause loss of control over instruments, both seem to be outside the game as we know it. Good work, intrepid explorer.

Thanks. You know, I think the Angel III is Mun landing-capable, if I gave it lander legs. It\'d be quite a job slowing that beast down, if the rendezvous stage is used as lander stage.

Carts Plugin.

Have you tried using the launch assist struts to keep it off the ground?

It\'s not rocket science. It\'s rocket Science.

Angel II has launched. Came down too hard. Lander destroyed. Checking ASAS unit for flight data recorder. Swapping crew members. Talking through helmet-helmet vibrations. No need for radios! All prepped. Orbital insertion in progress. Orbit achieved. Kerbin orbit insertion. LKO achieved. Let\'s go EVA. Not much else to do, we\'re out of fuel. Artificial eclipse. Renezvous Transport Vehicle in orbit. An EVA starts to ensure all systems are go. Return engine is fine. Rendezvous engine is fine. Fun in space. Checking ASAS. Checking parachute. Approaching Angel I Closing in. Almost there. Angel I initiating crew transfer. Making the crossing. Boarding crew transport module. Bob Kerman making the transfer.

Hope you enjoyed looking at this. Took hours to post - I watched two episodes of Babylon 5 whilst working on this. Who says men can\'t multitask?

Angel I, Angel II, and Angel III - named after early Space Program craft [that I built back in 0.08-9] which, although incapable of orbit due to the primitive nature of its electronics, was a milestone on the road to space exploration. Landed. EVA start. We\'re on the Mun! Let\'s stare gormlessly at the ground! Munbounce. Trying to catch the Munar Orbit Transfer Stage as it rolls down a slope. Eat Munrock... ...and carry on. No, wait, let\'s head back. Transport I has reached the Mun. Let\'s blind Jeb! Let\'s blind Nelvin! Let\'s see if this buggy can do what we thought it could. Ready, Nelvin. It wouldn\'t go with Jeb hanging off it. Let\'s try this. That failed. Jeb just fell off. Jeb returning to base. Jeb has swapped with Nelvey. Nelvey, don\'t suck up the gear on the ground! Much better. Now, you sit quietly. Just pilot.

Cleverbot fails to understand the simple concept of organic ~= mineral.

I built a similar craft to your Hoverjet, but I named it the Maco for its similar aesthetics to that of a shark. It was a bugger to land, and impossible to land it precisely. Well done making a better one.

Banana plant. They walk, you know. Favourite book.

Ok, Popeter, what you do is tell it you forgot your password. It will send a link to your eMail giving you a single-use login, which you can use to sign the petition.

Ah, it says \'from your IP\'. I got it too. Apparently, a lot of people like proxying our IPs.

Essentially, \'intolerance of intolerance\'.

Buy a mains inverter from Halfords. Then you can charge it up so you can run your technology off it during a power failure.

Going fine for me so far, Popeter.

The point I\'m making is that they are making a distinction between black and white people. If the organ matches, it usually gets put in that person. Whether they are black or white should not matter. You mentioned genetics - yes, that\'s true, but black skin only requires one or a few chromosomes to be active where in a white person they would not be. If the NHS wanted more donors, they should say 'There is a shortage of organs for transplant. Please apply to become an organ donor at www.NHS.uk', not 'Black people\'s organs fail more often than white peoples\', so apply for a donor card.' Its just unnescessary. And at worst, it gives out the wrong message.

I was listening to the radio. The adverts were on. This started playing: 'Black people in the UK are three times more likely than white people to need an organ transplant. That means black people have to wait longer for a transplant. We need more donors, so sign up at www.NHS.gov [or something] today.' That\'s just silly. What it sounds like to me is that they are saying you can\'t give a black person a white person\'s organs. To my knowledge, the biggest barrier to transplants is ensuring the donor is a match for the recipient so that the organ is not rejected by the recipient\'s immune system. To quote Monty Python, 'The plumage don\'t come into it' - Basically, I don\'t see how having the pigment for black skin affects the transfer of a heart or lungs or somesuch from a white person to a black person. Your thoughts?

Tis\' a strange aircraft. But cool. The wings look far too short.

Why is the Munolith floating now? Oh crap. Evac the base! (I kid. Probably a glitch.)
