    I meant that it's not going around the Earth before it did its transbennu burn. AFAIK, that's a direct injection launch.

    Believe it or not, asteroids have a distinct asteroid-ness about them.
  3. Dman979
    And it's a direct injection, too- no silly orbits for this!

    @The Raging Sandwich, you need to update your post- OSIRIS-REx just launched!
  5. Dman979
    It goes up over the intended orbit, and then comes back down, so the engine shuts off when vertical velocity is 0 and the horizontal velocity is the right speed for the desired orbit. It works well for low-g upper stages, because it gives more time to thrust horizontally without fighting gravity.

    Oh, cool, a lofting trajectory, too!

    damn, the sun's bright! That dogleg, tho!

    but he'll read it... And he is there right now.

    I'll bet you $50 USD that someone from the team will read this. @IonStorm? You there, or at your console?
  10. Dman979
    Ok, serious question- how do you get those glasses on every picture?
  11. Dman979
    No. It will tell you what parts are missing, and refuse to load.

    If that's what you're calling that area, then yes. It has a really steep drop-off, no?

    Hello, @Theone0113, and welcome aboard! It's always good when longtime players join the forum. Have fun!
  15. Dman979
    Yeah, but company slogans seem to stay around for a long time- "The pause that refreshes," "Eat Fresh," etc. What if this billboard isn't inflatable? Also, there's a thing in space that makes some inflatable things pop- the vacuum. How heavy would the inflatable material need to be? I know that Bigelowe Aerospace made an inflatable habitat, but the bill board will be at least 103 larger. And how much would this thing mass?

    It happened again today. @NathanKell, if you have time to spare from your devving, could you take a look? https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B-QIUTsNSBTQbDFjd1ZBWF9RM1k https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B-QIUTsNSBTQbVNfTGs3Qkd0bUk https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B-QIUTsNSBTQX1U3V2FkQjB1VnM

    Wait, you have a station on console? What do you do? And do your saves get corrupted? Cause that would be bad.
  18. Dman979
    yes, make a nice craft!
  19. Dman979
    Don't try and milk posts for rep. It's much more satisfying earn it in other ways.

    Now you need names, huh? Let's call the outside of the craters the Runway Islands, the center island Control Island, and the mountain range the Terminal Peaks. I feel like I was at the same mountain you were, all the way back in .23 or .22. I made an infiniglider which kinda looked like a Piper Cub, and I wanted to see how far it'd go. I was surprised that it didn't need its engines to keep it aloft at a leisurely 110-180 MPH (I had no clue what an infiniglider was). Not wanting to look a gift horse in the mouth, I alt-tabbed to do homework. After about an hour, I came back, and to my continued surprise, it was still flying! I continued this way for another hour or two, and then when I alt-tabbed back, it was dawn. I could see the mountain in the distance, and as I flew by, dawn broke. It was (and is) one of my most memorable moments in KSP. So, I nominate the newest mountain to be called Piper's Peak. P.S. Shortly after I passed by the mountain, I touched the controls. Big mistake. I alt-tabbed again, but when I came back, my plane had taken a nose dive. I tried to take manual control, but no luck. Bob Kerman ditched in the ocean, and his body was not recovered.

    Welle, Dr. Orson would also know that uncontrolled radio transmissions could lead to a nationwide panic.

    Thanks!

    This is more to @KasperVld than anyone else. Is it possible to re-enable the "Birthdays Today" feature on the forum? I remember it from the old BBCode one, and it was fun sending people happy birthday rep.

    Just don't finish Chapter 13, OK? [/offtopic]

    "Sue me," you say? It's an interesting fix, and I'm looking forward to the next installment. Oh, and I was just thinking- do jetpacks work on Tylo?
