Mad Rocket Scientist

I'm going to build my SPR around my lander. I found this image, from a dev thread for a mod which would add constellation parts:

I'm thinking of getting it very close, maybe to the level of your Altair.

Well, I'm getting started on my Cargo lander, and I feel like I have no place to start! There seem to be no good references for it! How are you guys/gals building it?

Thanks!

How come BBcode doesn't work in Thread/Post titles?

That could be interesting, I'll give that a try today! Thanks, I'm thinking of changing the font.

I'm making a patch for this project, tell me what you think: EDIT: Forgot to credit the makers of the parts of this patch: Kerbin & Duna: Kerbal Wiki. Mun: A forumer who made an HD render of KSP's planets using in-game textures. KSP Logo: KSP. Circles: Google images search.

Not really relevant, or my work, but now at least I know how Kerbals get to school:

Well, with the NTR propulsion stage, my rocket is a bit to heavy, so I'm going to design my cargo and crew landers, first. EDIT: Here's a picture of my NTR propulsion stage:

Don't worry about posting here! Here's what wikipedia has to say on the matter: [TABLE=class: infobox hproduct] [TR] [TH=colspan: 2, align: center]First stage[/TH] [/TR] [TR] [TH]Engines[/TH] [TD]5 or 6 RS-68B[2] or 5 SSME[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE]

Post-booster sep TWR to low. Me sad now.

Gah! I was looking at this picture: Well, time to fix that!

Nice pictures! To embed a imgur album, just wrap [noparse] [/noparse] tags around the album ID, in this case: https://imgur.com/a/FgH1n the underlined bit is the ID.Then, grab that ID, and put it in the post like this: [noparse] [/noparse]Which shows up like this:

Pictures? - - - Updated - - - How many engines does Ares V have? I built mine with 5, but that may be wrong, does anyone know?

Two green lights!

He/she's using stock revamp, too.

Thanks! The decent stage just fits inside the footprint of the EDS, the ascent pod is about the right size, the stayputniks are a bit big, though. But the RCS tanks are too small. Thanks! I just finished a mun mission, too! Wow, you actually are ahead of me! I only have Ares I, Ares V, Orion, and Altair. Also, I just hit to green light bars!

Here's a couple of pictures of docking Orion to Altair-EDS:

Here's a comparison shot: And here's a picture of my EDS:

Here's some normal pics to look at:

How's this look?

Me? I'm doing fine! Just fine! Don't worry about me! Ha ha ha! Annoyed? Of course not!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! I love that thermometers have collision meshes! Really! They're my friends!

Incredible! Such replicas! +rep

Good with Ares I and V, having trouble with rendezvous between Orion and EDS-Atair.
