Mikki

Awww yess! I am also very interested in any black thingys! Just can`t wait! Eagerly swimming around in the pol poll ... pool...

WOOOHOO! I won a badge in the STS challenge! Building this marvel of Kerbal technology took me quite a while. The new engines made it just a little bit comfier. All the different thrustvectors during a Shuttle flight take a lot of testing and tweaking.

Banned for posting twice

I am gonna make a try on this challenge! Greetings Mikki It`s done! Craftfile: (with a random Lab in bay, uups looks like a funny typo here) https://www.dropbox.com/s/znv4hsne4326tn6/Soace Shuttle Lab.craft?dl=0 Imgur Album: (lotsa pics!) http://imgur.com/a/AMqgl And one Pic from the album:

Oh Val sure... blame my age...

I follow this comic whenever i find some time, and it becomes better and better! Great work, nice pictures of the environment and interesting rockets all around! Cheers Mikki

Woaah Nefrums! errrm AHOY! This is a surprisingly new concept, i never thought the big S-wings apply so much buoancy! I checked your Imgur album and you have made an proper documentation (I have a very good eye remaining ), it looks straight and viable. You have done a serious entry, congrats!!! (I am still working on the badges, graphics are not so my favourite hobby...)

I tried to make a cool landing on the KSC runway. But my Kerbals never learn ...

Woah, flying trough the various obstacles is really difficult, I knew Vanamonde was secret plane expert!!! You know, Bananas...

Hello okder Your entry lacks any serious attempt to make orbit with a plane from sealevel. I have a slight idea you might bother me just for your personal enjoyment. You are welcome to make another entry, greetings mikki .

Hello Val! I have downloaded your craft to make sure that you`re not joking me with a testplane which doesn`t fly at all, and i made a testflight by my own... more than one btw. First i have some minor issues with the craft design, clipping isn`t mentioned in the challenge parameters but you have all in all the volume of quite exactly one Mk1 liquid fuel fuselage (400) clipped in the rearend of your plane (Shared across four tanks)... The plane flight behaviour is very flippy, i am sure you agree when i consider this airframe as unstable, and putting another medium reaction wheel into the cargobay isn`t a gentlemans like engineering philosophy... since there is allready hanging around one. However, CoM is exactly above CoL, thrustvector during ascend is weight out well by the whesleys, but the tendencies to flip upwards while running the nerva and the rapiers together is very concerning. I flew it several times, i think with proper instruction i could fly this plane. I am not so common wit the whesley by now... Actiongroupmanaging looks very complicated and needs proper advise for use. But the good things are it can splashdown fully fueled right after launch from runway, and start again without any problems, so this is truely a very cool Hydrofoil-pontoon-design, Bill took a walk and inspected the airframe by foot while i tested it. The total DV readout and all the others specs make clear that the proteus can visit other bodys SOI without problems, maybe not Laythe but many closer ones. Because your entry does not match the recommended report in a single clear string and lacks the Flight UI at most, i am afraid your entry is not viable by the moment, but i am sure you can still do much better, since this hydrofoil concept seems to work out verry good in my opinion! You are allowed to reenter any time again, you are welcome!

Oh well! Because your vessel pulled up a remarkable payload, i will oversee (with my remaining left eye ) the fact that you have missed a bit the afforded orbit height of 75 x 75 km. And due to the confidential mission to which your not closer known crew is going soon, your vessel specs are offduty to public release. You made a "provisional" viable entry in the Mk2 category with wet watered, congrats Kuzzter! (My own eentry is somehow a doublesize thingy of yours, btw... )

Could get handy...! I like the very small and very large builds

@ KerikBalm, Gojira1000 Hello there, glad you found this thing! Watering planes is a rather tricky task, i am curious with what the people will come up here! Getting the plane fully fueled up again is also funny...! Greetings !!! @Gojira1000, your fun challenge is still awesome! Must grab your badge again when i have more time!

Oh my gosh... Ahoy Mr. Kuzzter! You can have a provisional place on the Partyboat errrm... Partyboard for sure! You are quite right, your amazing comics are not totally unguilty for giving me the inspiration for this crazy challenge... No hurry at all, i must craft some funny badges for this thing here first...

SEAPLANE TO ORBIT Challenge 1.0.5 (.1028) SeaplaneSSTO/ SSJATO/ SSRTO/ SUBSSSTO...SLVTOOL... SUBVTOSSJARSTO... As some of us allready know, Seaplanes are no longer a secret to Kerbalkind... Your vessel must be crewed by at least one Kerbal Your vessel must contain at least one cargobay, one dockingport, and must have RCS fuel and thrusters functional equiped, except for rolling the vessel Do not clip substantial amounts of fueltanks, or better don`t clip fueltanks at all, clipping empty structural fuselages is allowed to say about 33% of their volume, just keep it reasonable Your vessel should not loose any parts (except footloose/ one and only style) Start your vessel on the runway Perform immediatly a splashdown east of KSC Launch to orbit, at least 75 x 75 km (...72 x 78 km is also okay clearly) Deorbit to KSC and land on the runway in one piece serious or/ and (Optional: Decouple landinggear after launch from runway) footloose (Optional: Let a Engineer inspect your vessel by foot) booty (Optional: Let a Engineer inspect your vessel by swimming) wet (Optional: Visit other bodys SOI, Mun, Minmus, other) ultimate (Optional: Your vessel can submerge) dive! dive? (Optional: Deorbit to a coast of your favourite choice and splashdown in one piece) watered (Optional: Park your vessel in the pool) poolguest ...blame WhiteKnuckle (Optional: Move the watered vessel by own propulsion to the beach and dissembark the crew on land) stranded You must make a Album with clear report, open resourcetab, all pics must contain the Flight UI visible You must post the craftfile, and give the vessel a seri reaso name No restrictions in how you do it, aslong it contains only stockparts, and does truely fly as promoted Do not exceed 175 250 parts, really (I know some of you like slapping lots of stuff together... cheers ) And again, do not loose any parts... ... okay, one is okay... but just one. one and only FOLLOWING MODS are ALLOWED, and only these ...:

Same opinion here, had not much time to many experiment fzrther, but it is mostlikely exceeding vertical speed crash tolerance of ANY part of the vessel... Good luck watering!

@Hi sdj64 This is the most astonishing thing i`ve ever seen in this forum! Mission and design are just incredible !!! I am quite shocked

I am still afraid myself!:D I consider a entry with all stock physics, to be fair!
