Thunderous Echo

No, we haven't even done Ares 2 yet.

Wait, that return capsule has parachutes? What were you thinking? Also, considering renaming Wherbart Kerman to Mark Watney.

You only need to get some probe with a seat into Eve orbit and back. In fact, Xannari's Tylo lander is still up in LKO. Also, it's fine if anyone posts a challenge, methinks. Don't need to complete one.

I have a plan, or at least part of a plan. According to what I can see, people are losing interest. Therefore, we must bring new blood into the Collaboration. If you can invite any friends to join us, please do. I also propose that we invite a famous person to join us, so then we get publicity and more users. Who should we invite? As for keeping the current population interested, I propose Objectives. We challenge eachother to do things. I challenge that someone finish bringing Jeb back from Eve.

Cheater. I'm back, by the way! Shoot, 3rd Cycle already? I'll have to think of something too keep this ... um ... KSP thing from losing speed/dying.

I'm going to be out of town for a few days. Keep up the good- ... um... work?

(Insert bagpipe) Fate has ordained that the man who went to the glitchy atmosphere orbit to explore in peace will stay dead to rest in peace. This brave man, What's-his-name, knows that there is no hope for their recovery. But they also know that there is hope for people in the KMC having fun in their sacrifice. This man is laying down his life in mankind’s most noble goal: the search for super glitchy fun in KSP. What's-his-name will be mourned by their families and friends; he will be mourned by his nation; he will be mourned by the people of the world; he will be mourned by a Mother Earth that dared send one of her sons into the "unknown". In his exploration, they stirred the people of the world to feel as one; in his sacrifice, they bind more tightly the brotherhood of man, or something. In ancient days, men looked at stars and saw their heroes in the constellations. In modern times, we do much the same, but then we send poorly designed rockets to blow up in its face. Others will follow, and surely find their way to super glitchy fun times. Man’s search will not be denied. But this man was not the first, and he will remain the foremost, or at least near the fore, in our hearts. For every human being who looks up at the atmsphere in the nights to come will know that there is some corner of our world that is forever kerbalkind. William Safire, Nixon's undelivered Apollo 11 contingency speech, but horribly misquoted.

Dang it, steam won't revert past 0.25. I'll need to do this the legitimate way.

I have a plan. Step 1: Revert to version 0.24 Step 2: Use a "Strategy: Fundraising Campaign" to convert reputation to funds. Step 3: Get 25 reputation per recovered kerbal, which converts to 225 funds per kerbal. Step 4: Give passengers money for flying to Minmus and back. See you in a few hours, after I've bought an industrial bucket of external command seats. Also, this idea is copyrighted. I charge a royalty of 225 funds per passenger to use it.

Holy geeping mother of the Kraken, I accidentally completed this challenge and got all 7 (I think) sunglasses. 1 - Jeb landed on both Moho and Eeloo. 2 - Jeb landed the same model of lander on both Moho and Eeloo. (The lander involved staging, so I needed two of them.) 3 - I entered all of the planetary SOIs. 4 - Did this in Pol orbit (one kerbal one way, one kerbal the other way). (And at Eve, but no one was left behind.) 5 - Nothing docked to a ship that it didn't originate from. 6 - A different kerbal landed on each of Jool's moons, but that sunglasses might have meant land 5 kerbals on the same planet/moon, in which case, I didn't. 7 - I landed on all the bodies. As for the weight though... it totaled over 10,000 tons. I might do this challenge with ions later.

Right, I'm just gonna put this here then.

No, there's badge yet.

Overview In this challenge, you must recover a kerbal in a command pod from a 27 by 37 kilometer orbit around Kerbin. The special thing about this orbit is that as soon as you load the craft, it will begin deorbiting due to atmospheric drag. Good luck. This was originally created in the Kerbal Multiplayer Collaboration. You can try this challenge on a separate save file here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/pijwfch2lxuej2c/persistent.sfs?dl=0 Rules You can rescue What's-his-name in any way, but the winner is the user of the most impressive technique. A new craft must be launched and used. No EVA bounce glitches or exploding the command pod to slow What's-his-name down! Leaderboard 1) 2) 3) 5) 14) 127) etc.

So... nobody's noticed it yet? Here, let me highlight it for you: Yeah, terminating 36 vessels was not worth this image. Does nobody see what's wrong with this picture?

If it helps, here's the craft I used: https://youtu.be/C91KB4Je0XA?t=53s

Here's a trick I've used: Don't slow down at Moho (at least, not completely). Instead, have the lander catch up with your transfer stage.

Here is the log for my turn.

I was considering declaring open season in equatorial LKO.

A picture of Saturnus Nova.

It's a joke. The submarine is an analogy for our save file. By the way, thought I'd pay tribute to the Conqueror.

Five people built and flew the Duna Conqueror. Five kerbals were in the Duna Conqueror. The Kraken is with us.

I've decided to document the trip of my rover as a series of explosions. Yes. It was that wobbly.

They say a picture says a thousand words. This one just says fourteen.

Interplanetary strand-a-kerbal is on! I've just put someone in a pretty high Kerbin orbit, a little inclined, a little eccentric (37km by 27km). Shouldn't be that hard. I would have liked it at a different altitude, but I wanted to keep it away from all the LKO clutter. On a side note, I didn't even have to warp to an Eve window! (Did someone warp to one before handing off?) Edit: It's time to play, "So you think you can drive 32 kilometers up a 6-kilometer tall Evian mountain!" Edit: Turns out I can.
