All the contracts ask me to go survey some far away spot on Kerbin. I guess they plan for me to walk to them....

If I have an unwieldy craft, I might use them to supplement maneuvering such as rotations. I use them almost exclusively for construction and maintenance tugs. I have used normal rockets for docking but it is NOT fun. I also use them for moons like gilly. I use them for station keeping.

As if a real space program would be all manual. Bring on the gaming elitists. This won't end well.

Well, I sometimes talk to myself when I am deep into work..... Oh you mean in KSP?

Maybe some future tech? I dunno.

To answer the question, yes. My science tools all blow up inside the cargo bay. I've kind of stopped playing until it gets fixed.

That almost looks like my Argo I. Just Argo I has two more of those Mk3 fuel tank constructs. That being said, there is hope. Argo I is orbiting Minmus getting refueled. I had to launch it with most tanks empty so it wasn't too heavy to fall apart under it's own weight. It helped, too that my fuel tanks are festooned with docking ports for landing craft for when it is finally off to Jool.

Give them brown pants and they'll never notice.

I haven't tried it in 1.04. I did in 1.0 and had no issues on Duna. Has it changed that drastically? As for the gigantor solar panel. THey do burn off with very little aero scuffing. While folded up. This much I know has changed recently. They are at 50% heat as soon as I hit the atmosphere. I wonder if they now intend we tuck them inside a cargo bay or something.

Have you tried collecting it and bringing the whole thing back to see if you get credit?

Long enough that windows complains a few times that the task is not responding. I get up and do other things until I hear the music start.

I've had spacecraft sink into the surface of minmus on load (they then blow up). I've had all my cargo bay contents spontaneously overheat and explode whenever any acceleration is turned on. My externally mounted solar panels overheat at 70k (just barely in atmosphere) every time on reentry. So I'm not terribly surprised. I still play, though.

Why did your launch pad not collapse? I've had that happen before.

Pre 0.9 I had a large station in orbit in the Joolian system. You could see it as a bright star from my laythe base.

That looks like something you'd find in a Stewart Crowly book. As in terran trade authority handbook.
